European Summit

I expect nothing but the best, knowing you Ceres

A butler bows and introduces himself to the guests who just arrived at Vienna Station. His fellow workers unload and take the honoreds' luggage.
"I am, Jonas Konstantin, the most esteemed of service for Ceres," his accent is very heavy. "I trust the ride did not take away your legs. Come, come, I will show you. The Austrian people work for all," a glare at Duke Hilario occurs, "Unlike some." The Duke offers no notice to this declaration as the group continues to emerge off the station platform onto a lobby below. Out the grand windows, ornate carriages wait for their passengers and the tour to begin.

With this, the ruler of the Ukrainian Empire, Demosthanes, takes his seat and awaits for the start of the tour

Demosthanes, being who he is, observes the conversation closely for any key information that may reveal clues about who Structz really is.

With this, Demosthanes stays alerted to whatever actions Structz takes.

After indulging in a wonderful meal, Demosthanes politely asks what is going on at the state building

One of the Austrians respond, "It's probably dealing with those Slavics in the south. But I couldn't tell you for sure. There has been a declaration that we're bringing these new "airships" over. I've seen one, their huge-don't understand how they work though."
Another guardsman speaks, but in Austrian.
"Right, anyways, when you're finished up here, we'll be taking this group across that wooden bridge", he points, "It'll lead to a garden area and from there, a few pathways towards the aristocracy's housing. I believe we're taking you to the house of Ceres, there should be a meeting on the international level, inside."

After the luncheon ends, the same Austrian guardsman speaks, "When the group is able and ready, I have been informed to take you across the canal and onto the streets of the wealthy upper-class and aristocracy. Please stand up when you are ready to depart."
After a few minutes, with the group, the guard leads the way. The other two follow closely in the back as protection for the delegates. The bridge that Konstantin crossed was antique but sturdy and able to accommodate three persons wide. On the other side of the canal laid a tight street that twisted at the end, it held a few woodworking shops and housing but nothing in comparison to what would be seen further in the district. A steep stone staircase was able to take them back to the street level, Von Structz was aided by the guards being as frail as he was. At the exit of the stairway, another garden was present, a path directly showed the avenue that went over the stone bridge, three guards were openly blocking it, facing the street. The only other implied route was a path that cornered around the garden at a slight incline.
"Come, come. It's a 10 minute walk."
The pathway followed had few exits, all guarded and blocked, there was one "true" route. The deeper along the group went, the more culture and variety they were exposed to. The path also gradually increased in elevation. There was hardly the appearance that these buildings were lived in, they seemed empty but well kept. No citizens were seen.
About 12 minutes in, the posse reaches another staircase, carved into the path and simply extending its incline. After the new set of stairs, the guardsman encouraged them to keep going, as the event was being held just a few more alleyways away. Doing such, they were now curving around elaborate houses with Austrian flair and an ornate church before reaching sight of the mansion of Ceres. It was perfectly situated at the end of the street at the highest elevation in the district. It reached three whole stories, a rarity in the city; made of brick, granite and stone. A iron fence gate was lifted to enter the southern facing yard that was full of beautiful foliage and trimmed brush. A knock on the back-door led to Konstantin's return, as he greeted each delegate individually as they stepped inside.

Konstantin: "Yes indeed. Here, we emphasize community and culture. Storefronts and grocers on street corners aid in street blocks become independent communities, as neighbors become friends."

"This process relatively lowers it."
