May 19th, 1872
Prince Heinrich XIV, of the Reuss Younger Line has called a number of people to a residence he has temporarily taken up in London. A relative of both Queen Victoria and her late husband, the German prince has many ties in England, including to those he has called to him on an unusually cold, rainy Sunday evening.
Each individual is ushered into the parlour, where the prince waits. He's a relatively young man at the age of forty, his hair neatly styled back and his lengthy moustache curled up at the ends. The room isn't terribly large, but richly furnished and quite comfortable. There are two couches on either side of a low table with high backed chairs at either end of the table. A fire crackles away merrily in the hearth, chasing away the damp chill of the night.
The prince settles himself in a chair while his servants bring refreshments to his guests as they arrive. He refuses to answer any questions until the entire party has arrived.
