Veronika sat in the dining hall of the royal palace. Across from her were the girls Natalia, and Noemi, both of which shared a similar position in so far as in they were from subordinate realms to the Reich and fiancees of the First Prince Hans von Kufstein.
By now, Veronika and Noemi were both sixteen years old, while Natalia was eleven, and despite the age disparity between the three girls, they had all become close friends. Especially after the last year and a half.
Hans had recently gone to the Aerial Warfare Academy, where he was studying to become an officer in the Luftwaffe. As for his weekends, he generally spent them at the nearby Air Base learning how to fly a plane.
