Bruno may have rushed through the breach of the besieged palace of Luxembourg, but he was no fool. He did so because he was intimately aware of its layout—not from frequent visits, but from one significant experience.
The original estate had been renovated during the Great War due to the damage Leon and his men had inflicted, followed by the devastation of Hindenburg's Folly. The French Army, in a drunken act of celebration, had razed the entire palace to the ground. Bruno, out of both loyalty and strategic foresight, helped finance its reconstruction—alongside much of the city itself.
Many sections of Luxembourg had been rebuilt with tactical defense in mind: chokepoints, kill zones, reinforced structures. All of it designed in case a small force ever needed to hold out during a siege.
