    Today's the day you had to travel to Prussian's court. As your servants and noble companions led you into the ballroom and sat you down, people all across Europe caught your eyes: even some Austrians were sitting there, despite the humiliating peace treaty they had to sign (it was 1745). As your gaze lingered around the huge room, you saw him. Friedrich the Great of Prussia, the legendary king, wearing his cocked hat and Prussian blue coat, eating with soldiers, far from his royal wife.
