บท 91: Capturing a Fleeing Rat

The award ceremony the Tsar threw for Bruno was rather extravagant, but in the end, Bruno returned to the railways, sleeping in the car that took him back to Saint Petersburg. Quite frankly, such luxurious and regal gatherings were always a matter of supreme social anxiety for the man who had risen to such great heights at such a young age. 

It was because of this that he passed out in his seat with a cigarette still lit in the ashtray and his face lying on the table in front of him. Despite everything that had happened, Bruno now held the semi-honorary title of Field Marshal. 

At least for the continued duration of the war, Bruno would be acting as a leader of Russian forces and foreign volunteers. But when the Tsar emerged victorious, Bruno's title would revert back to an honorary state. Especially after the man returned to the fatherland and resumed his active-duty status in the German Army.
