"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust in me! I am willing to follow your orders and serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs!!"
Duke Golitsyn immediately responded to Nicholas I. What he needed to do now was to stabilize Nicholas I, and then quietly wait for news that the Winter Palace and the Ministry of War had been occupied to reach Tsarskoye Selo.
"Cough... cough..." Nicholas I lightly coughed twice, the corners of his mouth forming a polite smile as he said, "Mr. Golitsyn, the future of the Empire is in your hands!"
"Rest assured! I will not betray your trust in me!" Duke Golitsyn also responded seriously to Nicholas I.
Duke Golitsyn's compliance made Nicholas I trust him even more. He slightly raised his head to glance at the time on the grandfather clock; it was already 10 PM. "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Golitsyn hurriedly replied, then bowed to Nicholas I and left.
