Prince Alexander Herald von Triesenberg was the fourth prince of the Empire of Triesenberg who was banished from the Empire of Triesenberg for the crime that he didn’t commit. On their way to the island where he would be banished, a powerful storm swept through and sank the ship. Alexander drowned and at the moment, he thought he died from drowning. However, when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the shore of a sandy beach and a floating interface before his eyes.
The frost-covered windows of the Tsar's study offered a view of the Winter Palace gardens blanketed in snow. Tsar Ivan III stood by the window, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression unyielding as he listened to the hurried report from Gregori Vasiliev, who stood rigidly at attention near the desk.
"Your Majesty," Vasiliev began, his voice steady but laced with tension, "the state police facility holding Johannes Krieg was attacked in the early hours of the morning. The prisoner has escaped."
Ivan turned slowly, his cold gaze fixed on Vasiliev. "Escaped?" His voice was low and measured, but the air in the room seemed to grow heavier with his words. "Explain."
"The facility was breached by a group of highly trained operatives," Vasiliev continued. "They neutralized the guards, bypassed security, and extracted Krieg with surgical precision. Our forces engaged them during the retreat, but they managed to evade capture."
