It was a cold morning in the Great German Empire.
Our MC, Felix, is currently garbed in a long sleeve shirt which gave him warmth while he is training.
Felix is currently doing 'pushups'. He is now currently in his 194th 'pushup'. Now, you might be wondering, how did a 12 year old kid who just started his training recently manage to do close-to-200 pushups?
Well, the answer to that is, magic. Seriously, magic. You see, Felix is also training his mana control through the floating magic he is applying on his feet while training his body.
He is also continuously applying and halting his floating magic on his feet in order to imitate the motion of a 'pushup'. What he is currently doing is a variation of the normal pushup called the Full-Planche Pushups.
On his 196th pushup, the Grand Butler of the palace came to the training ground.
"Your highness, the Emperor is looking for you."
"Hold... on... 197....for a... 198.... moment... 199.... 200. YES!!!"
"I am now done Grand Butler!"
'Alright, your highness, please change into a bit more formal clothes and let's head towards the Emperor's study room."
Felix then went to his room and changed his outfit.
The outfit he wore is a suit and tie which is different from the usual princely outfit, since the princely outfit requires preparation and would take a lot of time.
After changing his clothes, he and the Grand Butler went to his Father's study room. There, he saw the Emperor in his thinking position, which was quite similar to his with the right hand scratching the lips.
"Father, Guten Morgen (Good Morning)."
Emperor, hearing his son, smiled slightly at his son and told him to sit down at a nearby chair.
"Guten Morgen, Prince. Have a seat, we are waiting for 1 more person to come."
Felix, noticing his Father calling him 'Prince' instead of son, knew that this is an Imperial Summon, so he knew to call him Emperor and such. He sat down at a nearby seat near the Emperor's table just in front of the desk.
A few minutes later, he saw a man came in. Garbed in a military outfit meant for officers with numerous medals attached to the left chest of his uniform. He also saw the grayish hair of the officer which, together with his medals' indicates an old yet very experienced person.
He bowed down in a 45 degree manner, indicating subservience and respect. He then introduced himself to both of the people in the room.
"Guten Morgen, your majesty, your highness. I am Hans von Zettour, Major General of the Great German Army. You called for me, your majesty?"
The Emperor then indicated the newly promoted man to sit at a nearby seat, facing the prince.
He sat down and looked curiously at the prince. He knew that the prince was a talented mage, given that yesterday, a national emergency was almost declared upon him just by using an explosive formula. However, talents aside, he was wondering why the prince was called here.
"I called both of you here to tell you that the Dacian army may invade us within two months at the latest. It looks like you were right, prince."
The Major General was shocked. To think that a country who is currently suffering from economic setbacks and poor military would attempt to invade the Empire.
The Prince on the other hand had an expression saying 'I knew it' plastered in his face.
The Major General, Hans, then went on to inquire more about the topic.
