Lucas was originally living a stable and comfortable life with his father in Paris, and he even earned a degree in philosophy from the University of Paris.
But after the war ended, he suddenly realized that he had a responsibility to help the Austrian people out of their suffering, and he wanted to bring his happy life to every Austrian.
So he made the most significant decision of his life, bidding farewell to Baron Scheller and his mother, and came to Vienna with the 2,000 francs he had saved.
Now he was no longer the impulsive child who participated in the New Recruit Camp rebellion years ago. In those years in Paris, he witnessed France becoming strong and prosperous and deeply realized that mere violent uprisings couldn't solve all problems; fundamental changes to Austria's rules were needed.
And that first required changing people's thoughts and ideas.
