17 I kissed Germany goodbye..

The Kaiser was mad when he learned of what happened.

I was taken to an army headquarters where the Kaiser just finished a meeting with his generals.

"Do you know what you have done? You killed a Russian spy in German soil. What will I do if they demanded him back? I can no longer afford another international crisis! I thought I made myself clear to you last night?!" He screamed.

I didn't know how to react. I just killed a man..

After several minutes, Uncle Willy calmed down and pat my head.

" You see my child, you just failed your first but most important lesson in life.. self control. If you wanted to avenge your family, you must not let your emotions rule you. You must rule over it. Be calm, cunning, calculated and always think first before you do anything!" He said while puffing a cigar.

Me: Please forgive me Uncle Willy..

Kaiser: It happened already. We will just say that he tried to escape and shoot his guard so he fired back. Go ahead now and start your mission. Another ship will say in few hours. Remember, this should be the first and the last time you fail your test. Many more will come and I am no longer there to guide you. Alexei's future depends on you and your ability to charm your enemies while plotting their downfall. One wrong move and this will be all over for you and your brother.

He assigned one of his trusted officer to be the head of our security while we sailed to the unknown.

Before boarding the ship, I looked back at Germany one last time.. I will never have another chance to see this country again nor Uncle Willy.
