Hans Learns the Truth

While Berengar was speaking with his wife Linde about his past life, and everything he could recall from that world. Another important discussion was going on in a different corner of the house. A young princess was sitting in shock as her fiance had proclaimed the hidden truth he knew.

"So, Veronika, I see you still fancy my father..."

Hans was sipping from a teacup, which was filled with milk while he acted as if he was perfectly calm. A state of being, in which he was anything but. Quite some time ago, the Princess of Bohemia had approached the Emperor of Germany and asked that she be betrothed to him rather than his son. 

This was a request that Berengar had denied, something which displeased the young girl. However, she was completely unaware that her actual fiance, Prince Hans von Kufstein, had overheard her, and until now had kept his mouth shut on the issue.
