179 Alexander's Woes Part 1

"Please follow me, Your Majesty," Sebastian led the way towards Alexander's Bukavac parked in front of the Imperial Council Building. 

As they walked down the stairs, Sevastian commented. "That was an impressive speech, Your Majesty. You truly captured the hearts of the people."

"Enough of the flattery, I don't need such a thing," Alexander replied coldly, his gaze cast down on the ground. 

Sevastian, who felt a tinge of guilt at how he had reacted to the speech, decided not to speak another word. He opened the car door and sat next to Alexander while he took a seat inside.

They arrived at the palace in no time and were escorted directly by the Imperial Palace Guard into the entrance where all eyes followed their every move. 

A heavy atmosphere warped around Alexander. Ever since the conclusion of his declaration of war speech, he has been acting odd.
