Somewhere along the English Channel. The HIMRS Burnyi Class Destroyer was sailing along the channel towards the point of interception with the Ruthenian Baltic Fleet.
Aboard it was His Majesty, Alexander Romanoff, who was sifting through the papers, performing his constitutional duty. Although he wasn't officially back at becoming the chief-of-staff as they are still within the territory of the Britannia Empire, he already regained some of his powers such as being the high authority in the warship itself.
There was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, may I come in? I have something urgent."
Surprisingly, the voice didn't belong to Sevastian, but to Rolan Makarov.
"Come in," Alexander said simply. Despite warnings from Sevastian, Alexander didn't abide by them.
"Your Majesty, may I have your permission to speak my mind," Rolan said.
"I thought this was something urgent?" Alexander said, staring at the papers.
