[Imperial Waiting Room - Windenburg Central Station]

Duchess Mathilde: Your Imperial Majesties [Curtsies]

Empress Ludovika: Mama! Papa! What a pleasant surprise!

Lady Anna: What do you think they’re talking about? It’s going to be a long journey, they’ll have plenty of time discuss to whatever it is, I’m sure it could wait...

Lady Anastasia: You know the Dowager...

Lady Anna: No, in fact I do not. We are not the peasants working on her estates, we take orders from Her Majesty not Her Dowagerness.

Lady Maria: Calm down, Anna. She simply wants what’s best for her, as do we, is that not so?

Lady Anna: You’re right. I’m sorry. I just think something is... well, nevermind.

...

Emperor Ferdinand: Are you sure there’s nothing we can do?

Duke Ernest: We have two options. You can either dissolve the diet, although that would make things worse, or we can grant them what they want. Which does not help our case either.

Emperor Ferdinand: You are right, Duke. And what about the Bank? Doesn’t seem like they are trying to help us...

Duke Ernest: I’m afraid the bank prioritizes its own interests. Which if you think about it, Sir, is only logical. If the Bank falls our economy is close to follow. They are currently printing money to see if it changes anything… Let’s hope for the best.

Emperor Ferdinand: Printing money? I cannott see anything good coming from that…

Duchess Mathilde: You will have a lovely time in Gödberg, darling. When I was a child, my parents visited dear Ferdinand’s grandparents there every Spring. It is truly a magnificent place.

Empress Ludovika: Thank you so much, Mama. I am looking forward to spending more time with His Majesty… and I do think I will enjoy my time there.
