~ Switzerland, Bern ~
Albert entered his apartment in downtown Bern and went straight to the bar to pour himself a drink.
He would normally be in his villa, in the suburbs, but considering that the villa was completely robbed, he didn't feel like going there. That place was a reminder that no place is safe.
These last few days were stressful, and he needed to calm down and figure out what to do next.
His heart was bitter with the knowledge that Sarah produced a medallion, establishing herself as a member of the Council.
What Albert felt for Sarah initially was that she was incompetent, unworthy, and too young for the Council, but now it turned into hate. He would prefer to see her on her knees, begging for mercy, but his many years in politics taught him that acting rashly is not the way to achieve one's goals.
