Chapter 1: Ascension to the Throne

Time flew by swiftly, and before long, it was the end of August. With the approaching coronation of Franz, Vienna became bustling with activity.

Laughter and joy diluted the shadows cast by the March rebellion.

The wartime economic system implemented by the government played a significant role in economic recovery, and Austria had escaped the impacts of the economic crisis.

A large number of state-owned enterprises emerged and the implementation of "Labor Protection Law" allowed the working class to take a breather, making life much better for everyone.

Thanks to the long-term positive propaganda by the newspapers, Franz had a good reputation among the people. The public had high expectations for their young monarch.

The face of the Habsburg Family still carried weight; nobility from all over Europe sent important figures to attend the ceremony, making Vienna a gathering place for the elite.
