Rewarding Loyalty

Bruno welcomed Svetozar and the man's family into his home, in a way that he felt would make the man most comfortable.

He walked to the door not in civilian attire, but wearing the old Austro-Hungarian Field Marshal gala uniform he had been bequeathed by Emperor Franz Joseph as a ceremonial title, along with all the medals he was granted for avenging the House of Habsburg during the great war.

Svetozar's aging face practically lit up when he saw a familiar face and a familiar uniform. As Bruno performed a proper salute.

"Generalfeldmarschall Svetozar Boroević has arrived!"

A full honor guard was present to raise their swords and welcome the Austrian hero back home to the lands that he had once defended. The man's face was both astonished and jovial as he witnessed the grandeur of Bruno's palace, which was still under construction, as well as the display of traditional Austrian uniforms on display for him, and him alone.
