Getting Ready To Depart

Austria, June 22nd 1801

6:13 AM

Lukas was in the dining room of the Royal Palace. He was standing by the table as he poured some juice in his glass.

Today was the day he was going to depart, however, he still wanted to follow his routine as he did everyday: he would train with Leonhard in the morning, and then go to the Royal Academy, even though today only a few formalities were going to occur.

Still, Lukas was advised by everyone to go that session, and he also agreed with it. After all, what would people think if the boy appointed by the king himself to participate in the Royal Academy skipped a session with the excuse "it wasn't important anyway."

That obviously wasn't going to good to anyone, so he had decided to go only to avoid any major troubles. Besides, the lessons were only going to occur during the morning, so he truly had no acceptable excuse.

Soon, Leonhard could be seen walking into the dining room.
