An hour has passed since boarded the Burnyi Class Destroyers. All the crew members prepared the necessary procedures to leave the Port of London. In the captain's quarters, now Alexander's temporary office, Sevastian was holding a file in his hands reading it aloud as Alexander listened.

St. Petersburg, Ruthenia Empire. Underneath the General Staff Building, the Command Ops were filled with joy as they just heard the recent news about Alexander. "They'll be departing as soon as all the injured crews in the battleship are ferried into the destroyers. The progress so far is 55 percent, it'll take another hour for the evacuation," Sergei reported. "I'm relieved that my husband is now safe.

"Stay with me, Your Majesty," Rolan instructed as he glanced over his shoulder. Behind him was a trail of people consisting of the staff of the safe house, Alexander, and Sevastian. They were covertly heading towards the back door where they'll exit and link up with the squad of Imperial Guards.

Rolan asked as he lifted his upper body and scanned the surroundings. His first thought was Alexander's safety, so he crawled over to him and checked him. "Your Majesty! Are you okay?" "I think I hurt my appendix but I'm fine…" Alexander replied while groaning in pain. "How about the others? Did you check on them?" Rolan glanced to his right…

"Your Imperial Majesty, it is the reason why we are pulling you out of the Winter Palace. As you are the Empress of the nation, you are the one responsible for giving the Emperor an heir. But given that he doesn't have a male heir yet means his responsibility now falls to you." "Sergei…what are you implying?" Sophie said, almost stammering as her heart still beats in a rapid worried state. "It means Your Imperial Majesty, His Majesty, Alexander Romanoff is incapacitated given that we cannot find or…

Inside the Westminster Palace, Alexander was watching the crown ceremony, listening to the choir singing an uplifting melody. He suddenly felt a force tackling him from the side. Soon after, an ear-deafening explosion erupted outside Westminster Palace. The attendees in the cathedral instinctively ducked and covered their heads. Seconds later, a series of explosions erupted, making the ground quake momentarily, which made the chandeliers hanging on the ceiling sway and clank loudly against each…
