"Advisor Jomini wants to see me?" Nicholas I thought for a moment and said to Alexander II, "Then let him come over."
"Yes!" Alexander II responded to Nicholas I, then turned and headed to the General Staff.
Just as Alexander II stepped out the doors of the Amber Hall, Nicholas I's voice reached his ears.
"Wait a moment!"
Alexander II stopped and turned, looking questioningly at the approaching Nicholas I, "Father, do you have any instructions?"
"Let's go! Don't keep your teacher waiting too long!" Nicholas I said to Alexander II.
"Father, there's no need for you to go personally!" Alexander II said to Nicholas I.
"Why? Can't I go?" Nicholas I showed a hint of displeasure, his tone more agitated than before.
Alexander II saw through Nicholas I's sensitive and suspicious heart and quickly responded, "Of course, you can! The entire Russian Empire is your domain; you can go wherever you please!"
