“The streets are full of miserable people. Where do you even want to start?”

“Well, we will have to figure something out if we want to keep the republic.”

Albrecht started counting the bills in his hands and paid for the bread he had just picked out. 400 Billion Reichsmark.

“I am sorry that I can’t offer you much else today, Michael, but I got my allowance two weeks ago and Zeigner did not consider the current state of affairs. Or maybe he thought that I don’t have to eat that much anyway, who knows.”

Stepping out onto the street Albrecht almost fell over a man crouching next to the few steps leading up to the bakery. He gave him 200 Billion and made his way back to his apartment, past masses of people with wheelbarrows full of money and some lunging for the bills that were taken by the wind. After a few minutes of silence, Albrecht picked up the conversation again:

“… Maybe we should not keep up the strike in the Ruhr area. 40 Million Goldmark a day is a big sum… It is a jab at our pride, of course, it’s not fair and the French can rot in hell for this whole ordeal, but.. I’m not sure we have many other choices.”

“Are you not happy about my visit?” pfff

“You are easier to deal with than Bismarck, Anne. If only slightly.”Albrecht disliked meeting with the Austrian without the presence of his wife there to balance the conversation. It rarely ever happened, but it was usually unpleasant. In a way, the Saxon had always hoped to better their strained relationship over time... Not for reasons of friendship, of course, but rather for his personal gain. Saxony alone would not stand a chance should Prussia start acting up, but with Austria having its back, there was a chance of survival. That, and Mathilde would be happy."Now, Anneliese, do tell me what brought you to Dresden. Did you miss me that much?"

“I know that very well.”

Albrecht looked outside his apartment window and spotted a dark Wartburg 311 on the other side of the road. A different car than usual, but the driver was the same. Albrecht drew the curtains shut and turned the volume of his radio to maximum.

“We are also being listened to. Some guy in grey overalls keeps “fixing” something up in the attic and thinks I have not spotted him yet. I’ve named him Heinz. Hope he enjoys being such a big part of my life.”

Looking back at Mathilde, he tried to find the right words for a proper conversation. When had conversations become so difficult to have?

“... I am glad to see you again. You look terrible.”

In all the years Mathilde has gotten used to such exaggerations and especially during Albrecht’s recent flight of fancy she’d found quite creative responses for these situations. And now coincidence had played another card into her hands.
She looked at her husband, eyebrows slightly raised in amusement and a grin on her lips. “Oh? Pardon me, but I’m afraid since I’ve seen you as a perfect lady I just can’t take you seriously anymore. Even if I’d want to.” The malicious grin turned into an innocent smile.

“You”, he said, stopping in his tracks for a moment and pointing a finger at her, “Are simply jealous that I can pull off a contouche better than you. However...” 

Returning to his state of pacing around the room, Albrecht tugged a rose from one of the bouquets and started pulling off its petals one after the other.

“Nobody can deny that I am rather intelligent, not even my obstreperous wife, who should probably consider not holding onto blackmail for so long.”

Apparently “C’est un Saxon” was a common way of saying “He’s a traitor” in post napoleonic France. 

I feel like I have to use this knowledge somehow.
