The March into Battle

Albert jumped back in surprise, as everyone in the tent did and at the fact that none of them noticed her come in. The woman in question, donning a military uniform of an officer just chuckled at their surprised expressions. They are looking at Archduchess Ilse Mari Johanna von Habsburg, his younger sister and the commander of the Landwehr’s Twenty-second Infantry Division based in Graz. ‘My, my, what interesting faces.’ She told the group in front of her. ‘I could behold them for the rest of the day, but unfortunately, we all have a job to do.’ She glanced at Hadrian and her lips curved up in a smirk seeing how dumbfounded he is. ‘Don’t we, Your Majesty?’ ‘Ilse, how did you get here?’ Albert asked the woman who continued to snicker at them. ‘Just now, Your Highness.’ She answered formally, looking at her older brother. ‘I ordered my men to rush to Vienna as soon as we heard the news, but it turned out we were several days too late so we waited for what will happen next before we d

The Battle of Kahlenberg

Hadrian ordered his men to halt on the other side of the hill and he and his commanders went up and looked at the other side.This is the first he had laid eyes on the force of the Ottomans. Their numbers exceed his expectation, he breathed in and gathered his wits. He promised his people victory, and he is determined to deliver. He looked over his shoulder and saw Albert, sitting on his horse and looking seriously at the other side, Hadrian remembered Albert’s joke.‘You still have to marry Princess Catherine.’ Hadrian recalled. His face flushed beet red as soon as the memory came. This made Albert look at him.‘What is the matter?’ Albert asked, taking his blush for another thing. ‘Jittery?’‘No, it’s not that.’ The young emperor answered, looking at the other side. ‘If…’‘Don't even begin, Hadrian.’ Albert interrupted him before he even finished what he was going to say, leaving Hadrian slightly gaping at him. ‘I know what you are going to tell me. And I am going to answer you with

The Price of Victory

Hadrian fired a shot at Musaf Pasha and the serasker just stared at the young emperor.

New Dawn

Albert struggled on his feet, it had been a few days since his discharge from the hospital and he has been struggling to do even the most menial task. The pain in his chest has not left him, but with Anya's help, he has been recuperating. Though that is the least of his worries. The treason case against him is still at the forefront of his mind. Hadrian has not come to see him as he always did, and he was worried that his cousin is being cornered by the members of the court. His thoughts were in a mess, he put Hadrian in a bind. And he knows that Hadrian is doing everything he can to protect him, he hung his head low.‘Albert?’ Anya called, approaching him with a tray in her hands. ‘What's the matter?’‘It's nothing,’ he answered dejectedly.
