Just as Bruno was about to get off work for the day, he found himself facing an official summons by the General Staff and its chief assembly. The leaders of the German Army were calling him in?

Was this some attempt by those ancient vampires—whose family legacies were older than God himself—to stir a coup against him? Or was this an inquiry about his involvement with the Werwolf Brigade and its unsavory affairs south of the German border?

Either way, Bruno had only one means of finding out. He quickly got to his feet and approached the room where such private matters were held.

He was surprised to find the Kaiser himself personally sitting at the head of the table, with powerful and prestigious figures like von Mackensen and Ludendorff waiting coldly.

Each Generalfeldmarschall of the German Army was present for the meeting, Bruno himself included, standing at attention.
