The father and son shared a knowing smile and promptly set out.
Upon leaving the workshop, Joseph headed towards the Marble Courtyard, only to see Louis XVI turn towards the tea room.
He quickly followed and asked in surprise, "Father, aren't we going to the shooting range?"
"Indeed," Louis XVI nodded. "While they prepare the carriage, we can have a cup of tea, some pastries, and change our clothes in the meantime."
It then occurred to Joseph about Louis XVI's super luxury carriage weighing 1.5 tons; with all his travel necessities, it would take no less than 40 minutes to prepare.
He eagerly caught up to Louis XVI, "Dear father, you're going as a master gunsmith to inspect your work, there's no need for such ceremony. Why not take my carriage instead?"
Louis XVI blinked, hmm, a master gunsmith, huh? That does sound interesting, very stylish.
