“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.”
Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?”
The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?”
Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!”
“Oh!!!!”
The audience erupted into thunderous applause.
“Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.
The applause grew even more fervent...

Arthur pondered for a moment: "So, Kroflrat is a nationalist? That's the very thing Metternich detests the most!"


Schneider mocked: "You should remember what I just mentioned, Kroflrat is a Bohemian nobleman, and in his view, Metternich, this German, is essentially a foreigner. He dislikes foreigners meddling in Austrian politics. He does not recognize any dominant national presence within the Austrian Empire, seeing Germans as no nobler than Slavs or Hungarians.


If Austria has a dominant nationality, it could only be those born within Austria, true Austrians, not Germans. Therefore, he strongly opposes Metternich's demand for the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."


"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Arthur asked: "But isn't Kroflrat the Home Secretary of Austria? Does he oppose the very department he serves in? That's truly peculiar."
