It was a new day, and a day which Bruno did not have to report to the Central Division of the German High Command, no less. It was perhaps because this was his first official leave of absence in a very long time that Bruno was invited to his parents' house.
All nine of their sons had long since moved out of the house. The youngest of which was Bruno himself, who was already in his mid-twenties, at the ripe old age of 25. He had three children, which was the lowest number of all of his siblings and the families they had spawned over the years.
But knowing the fact that he received an official invitation to the family estate, this was no simple request from his mother and father to visit them with his family. No, this was a yearly occasion on which the entire von Zehntner household would gather.
