By the time Hans and his guests returned to the Palace, Berengar was sitting on his imperial throne. Gone were the days where he had a throne made of granite, with intimidating skulls carved into its surface. No, since Berengar had risen to the position of a king, and later an emperor, he had improved his royal seat with many luxuries to display the status that he held as the Emperor of Germany.
The fluffy seat cushions and armrests were made of quilted black velvet and were surrounded by gold fittings. Below the arm rests were two golden angels who uplifted the Kaiser's limbs. Their figures were curvy, and their bodies naked. This theme of nude angels and pagan deities was intricately carved throughout the golden frame of the chair until finally it reached the neck rest.
