The Crown Prince of France's speech on "Peace and Post-War Reflection" lasted more than 40 minutes before it concluded, and solemn music once again echoed across the square.
At Joseph's request, all formal steps were canceled, and the representatives of France and Austria sat directly on either side of the long table prepared in advance, each picking up a copy of the drafted Mödling Treaty.
Dozens of officials from Germany and the Italian States sat on the outside, witnessing the signing ceremony.
The content of the treaty was nothing to speak of. Ludwig von Kobitzel, after showcasing the Full Power Certificate granted by the Emperor of Sanctum, looked with complex emotions at the Crown Prince of France seated above, sighed lightly, and signed his name on the treaty.
Talleyrand signed his portion and exchanged texts with the Austrian representative, and the entire ceasefire agreement signing ceremony ended. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.
