Chương 124: A Girl from the Past

"It was a good speech, Your Majesty," Admiral Kuznetzov said, shaking the hand of Alexander.

"I'm honored that you like it. It's just that it's sad that I won't be able to attend every ship commissioning ceremony," Alexander said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Admiral Kuznetzov gave a sympathetic nod and smiled down at him kindly. "I understand Your Majesty, attending to each and one of them would take you hours. Don't worry, the Imperial Ruthenian Navy assures you that the ceremony will progress smoothly." 

They both released their hands and made small talk for another few minutes before Alexander had to leave.

Alexander looked around the hangar bay the moment, taking in the various faces from the various crews that were present for today's ceremony. As he was about to turn away, he saw a pair of eyes staring up at him.
