Austria, February 22nd 1797

Konrad kept standing in the middle of Lukas's room. After a short break, Konrad sighed and looked at the blonde boy in front of him. "Come to Königsberg, to live with us," he said.

Lukas raised his brow at Konrad's request. 'What does this mean? Why is he asking this? It's not like me and Nathalie are getting married right away,' he thought.

'Well, the fact that we have to travel two weeks to meet is, in fact, the reason behind this, but still... why do we have to meet so many times? Why do we even have to meet at all? Making the betrothed people become attached to each other is not a priority of the aristocracy, so that doesn't make much sense,' Lukas thought

Lukas tilted his head. "Can I ask why?" he asked.

Konrad nodded his head. "Of course," he answered before sighing. "Well, the reason behind this is that I want you and Nathalie to get closer," the red-headed man explained.
