The Price of Salvation

Bruno and his family were entrusted to a long-winded retelling of the ancient house of Habsburg and its astounding legacy and impact on Europe and, by extension, the world at large.

The tour through the Hofburg where they stopped at every portrait of every ruler over the dynastic history while enlightening someone like Bruno who appreciated history was nothing but dull for his wife and children. 

Even so, they were forced to endure it, as to even make a statement about how dreadful they found it to be considered an insult of the highest caliber to such an ancient and lofty royal family. 

By the time they were done with this historical lecture conducted in the form of a tour across the Estate and its massive grounds. Dinner had been prepared, and this was where the real entertainment began.
