Alexander and Sophie just arrived at the General Staff Building where rows of tens of Imperial Guards stood at attention on either side of the pathway that leads into the building.
The General Staff Building is just across the Winter Palace Square, which now makes sense to him since the supreme leader of the Ruthenia Empire must arrive as soon as possible at the Command Ops and act as its commander-in-chief.
'Maybe a tunnel network to connect-'Alexander dismissed the errant thought; he got more important issues than subterranean constructions.
"This way Your Majesty," Sevastian extended his arms towards a path that leads through the General Staff Building's entrance.
Before heading into that building, Alexander faced Sophie and grabbed both of her hands.
"I have to go now, Sophie. Stay with Anya in the palace for a while. I have to deal with this matter first."
