On the eve of the final battle, the entourage of the Duke of Bavaria, having hurried back from the Duchy of Franknia, finally returned to Mingxing City.
The Duke of Bavaria, Otto (who happens to share the Emperor's name, so henceforth will be referred to simply as the Duke to avoid confusion), as the father of Eleanor, Ludwig, and Henry, was an almost fifty-year-old middle-aged man with a tall figure, dignified beard, and an outstanding presence. Among the Great Noble families, he was a rather rare handsome man.
But what people were more eager to gossip about was his obsession with Sirius culture. The Duke was fluent in Sirius language and had a fondness for literature, sculpture, and film, and as a result, his duchy was particularly tolerant of Orthodox culture and Transcendents.
At the main entrance of the Weisbach Palace, Ludwig, Henry, Elizabeth, and Eleanor were already waiting to welcome their father.
