Berlin, the beer hall where Ernst and Garrett often visited during their school days.
"Ernst, I missed you!" Garrett howled at Ernst.
"Stay away from me, you look like a madman." Ernst said in disgust.

"I brought some friends over today, come on, Ernst, I'll introduce you to them."
They arrived at the table.
"This is Prince Ernst of the Hohenzollern family." Garrett introduced Ernst to his colleagues with great ceremony.
"Hello, Your Highness," several people greeted Ernst.
"Hello to all of you!" Ernst responded.
