Bab 87: Trying Diplomacy

Thirty minutes later, at the General Staff Building, Alexander was walking back and forth in the hallway as he waited for Diana to arrive. Sergei, who was watching from the corner, apprehensively watched Alexander's anxious pacing. 

Never he had seen Alexander be this nervous, though when it came to important meetings, he always seemed calm. Well, it was his fault, if only he had told him sooner that he had changed the plan, this could've been averted. Because of him, a war may break out in the Far East that could implicate the Ruthenia Empire.

Now, Sergei doesn't know what the future holds for him. Will he get fire or exile, it's up to His Majesty's decision. 

Alex, unaware that Sergei was observing him closely, continued his movements until his feet suddenly stopped. He stared straight ahead as if someone had just appeared. And indeed someone had.
