When Prince Albert spoke the word "war declaration" to Queen Victoria, a hint of regret appeared on Victoria's face.
"Poor Nicky (a nickname for Nicholas I), he must still be waiting for news of the Kingdom of Britain's support, yet he doesn't know that we are about to bring him bad news!" Victoria sighed heavily and complained to Albert beside her.
Although Queen Victoria herself had a faint affection for Nicholas I, and was similarly inclined towards Eastern Orthodox in terms of religious belief, hoping to establish a "Greek Empire" to replace the declining Ottoman Empire, after all, Queen Victoria was not a "true" ruler able to control the King of Britain. Everything she envisioned did not align with Britain's interests, and her ideas were destined to be as illusory as castles in the air.
