An Audience with the King
Nearly thirty minutes had passed since Berengar and Eckhard began to drink beer within the castle's Dining Hall in Prague. Berengar had spent this time informing the man of Austria's changes over the last few years. Since Eckhard had been deployed to Bohemia to act as a military advisor to the Hussites, there had been substantial advancements among all facets of life within the Fatherland.
Eckhard himself was shocked by the new fashion trends and military equipment that the men who had followed Berengar to Bohemia were equipped with. It had only been roughly five years since he had first met Berengar, and yet during that timeframe, the young man had risen from the position of a lowly baron's son to the King of Austria and Bohemia.
