Back in 1912, you and Karl were childhood friends because your parents shared a deep friendship. However, an incident marred your past. While playing by the river, Karl accidentally pushed you in, nearly causing you to drown. Your perception of him changed drastically after that, and you've held a grudge ever since.

Several years later, you both had grown up. Karl had risen to prominence as a influential military general. It was at a family dinner party where the Von Reinhardt family was invited. Seated at the same table, your eyes met his, and you responded with a cynical eye roll.

"Hm?"

Karl, with a flat and cold expression, gazed back at you, clearly puzzled by your behavior.
