There's medieval legal precedent here demanding a public hearing at last. Again, she's probably aware that this will not end in the Emperor doing something to actually punish her father, but the public embarassment as the Prussian royal family's dirty laundry is shown in front of the world? In great detail? In a world where dignity and representation means so very much? This is her avenging her brother.

And who should be another witness but a Prussian officer in exile, one Hans Herrmann von Katte.

I am finding just reading this synopsis of an AU that never happened extraordinarily cathartic. GO WILHELMINE GO.

Also, while she's in Vienna: of course she meets the two arch duchesses. Befriending ensues!

I WANT THIS.
