Prelude to the Meeting of the Emperor of Choson

January 5, 1928. Winter Palace.

The day has arrived for Alexander to meet the Emperor of the Choson Empire. He had dressed for this occasion as this would be his first meeting the head of state of another country on live television.

He was looking at the mirror, combing his hair into a neat style when he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Your Majesty, the car is ready."

Alexander glanced at the window and saw the reflection of his National Security Advisor, Sevastian. 

"Sevastian, I have a question that I need you to answer seriously." 

Sevastian gulped as he wondered what could be his question that made him so serious, he had never heard Alexander in such a serious tone before.

"Do I look handsome?" 

Sevastian's jaw dropped upon hearing his question. So this was just his question? He was worried for no reason.
