munashiro au where everything in the 1st season didn't happen but Munakata actually gets to meet Adolf.

Imagine AU where Munakata decides to light a candle on the Hirasaka building rooftop just because he’s rather curious about the man in the airship (this is something I could see him even trying to do in canon, just out of curiosity right after he becomes King, but maybe Weismann wouldn’t come down for another King since he doesn’t want to be drawn into that world at all). Say even though S1 doesn’t happen Kokujouji still dies — since he likely just died of old age, so the events of S1 had nothing to do with that — and Munakata as the responsible King decides someone should convey the news to the Silver King. He’s aware of the rumors about lighting a candle on a building so he puts on street clothes and goes on his own to wait, and is only mildly surprised when the airship actually lands for him and the door opens. Munakata steps onto the ramp and boards the ship, not hesitating at all even though he’s well aware that he’s entering the sanctum of another King.

Weismann is waiting for him and imagine Munakata just sizing him up, the mysterious Silver King, noting that the rumors of the ‘immortal’ King are true. Weismann laughs ruefully at that, wondering what other rumors have been spreading about him. Munakata smiles thinly and apologizes for his rudeness. He doesn’t sound particularly sorry, just polite, and Weismann is rather amused by this Blue King that he’s never met before. Munakata says he’s come to give Weismann tidings of the Gold King’s death and Weismann’s face gets a bit melancholy as he says he’s aware. Munakata wonders if Weismann regrets not being present for His Excellency’s passing and Weismann laughs softly, supposing he truly is a shabby King who couldn’t be at his old friend’s side at the end. Munakata just takes that in and wonders in that case if Weismann intends to take over for his ‘old friend’ — things will be precarious without the Gold King there to provide balance, and having the Silver King nearby could be a valuable asset.

Weismann shakes his head, he’s long promised to no longer involve himself with the surface world. Munakata frowns, his demeanor becoming somewhat cold as he says it’s unfortunate that Weismann has chosen to abdicate his duty this way. Weismann isn’t insulted by that, he’s well aware that he’s been running away, and he’s too far gone to stop and turn back now. Munakata says in that case he will take his leave, having delivered his message. Weismann agrees to drop him back off but then before Munakata leaves Munakata asks if perhaps they could talk again. Weismann is surprised, it’s been a long time since he’s spoken to anyone from the world of Kings after all, and his initial impulse is to decline. Munakata’s eyes are so intense though and his demeanor so unshakeable that Weismann finds himself nodding — he might like that, if Munakata were to light the candle again, and Weismann will surely come speak with him once more.
