A Familiar Name

After signing the two treaties presented by the Ruthenian Empire, Alexander and Gojong stood in the center of the stage and performed a handshake once more for the world to see.

"We are going to make a lot of money, King Gojong. And in that way, you will be able to revitalize your Empire, make it as economically strong as mine," Alexander said, still shaking Gojong's hand.

"Thank you for the generosity and compassion you have been showing to us. I and my people are not going to forget this chance you have given to us," Gojong bowed his head slightly forward, showing an appropriate amount of respect. He released Alexander's hand, "Emperor Alexander, are we going to discuss another subject backstage? You said to me that you are going to offer us military aid." 

Instead of answering, Alexander just showed him the way by extending his hand toward the stairs where they can leave the platform.
