Desperation

Austria, August 24th 1803

8:58 AM

Lukas stood at the entrance of the room, thoroughly confused with the person sitting at the same table as Franz and Erik.

Franz looked over at Lukas. "Good morning, Lukas," he said with a smile, as if nothing had happened. "Since you have arrived earlier, than we should start our meeting earlier, do you not think so?" the king asked.

Lukas made a short break before nodding his head slowly. "Y-Yes..." he cleared his throat bowing down

"Yes, of course. Thank you for receiving me," the blonde boy added.

Franz chuckled before gesturing to the only seat empty in the room. Different from the other meeting room, this one had a table for only 4 people.

Lukas gave Franz a slight nod before heading to the empty chair, right before him. 

Meanwhile, all the three men watched him, and before the blonde boy could sit down, the pope stood up.
