At the Imperial Railway Office

It was a chilly morning in the capital of the German Empire. The trio was on their way to the main headquarters of the Imperial Railway Office, where they will meet an important official that could decide whether this trip is worth it or not.

The carriage stopped in front of the building. Poul and Jonathan looked out of the window and scanned the structure. It was an imposing building made of red bricks, adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments. The windows were tall and thin, giving the building a somewhat stern appearance. Poul and Jonathan exchanged a quick nod.

They stepped out of the carriage, feeling the cold breeze of the morning air brushing against their faces. They straightened their suits and adjusted their top hats before making their way toward the entrance of the building.

Amelia followed behind as the industrialist duo approached the door, they were greeted by a uniformed guard who stopped them.
