Rasputin of the East

15

what. What happened?

I vaguely remember returning to the Imperial Palace on Nevsky Prospect after the ballet was over, but it must have been that I had lost my mind.

When I returned to my mansion, not my dormitory in the Imperial Palace, and was completely alone, it was only then that I came to my senses and began to reflect on what had happened today.

What I felt right after that was… a cold sweat.

‘Am I f*cked?’

I could see someone waving my hand from over there, but I tried to keep my senses.

‘Come on, I said that even if you are bitten by a tiger’s den, you can come out if you keep your mind.’

What about the current problem? it’s plentiful

First, how will the tsar react when he finds out about this incident?

Second, how will the nobles react when the rumors spread?

Neither was likely to have a positive reaction.

‘f*ck…….’

I don’t know who it is, but anyway, the person who threw me back into the early 20th century, what kind of repulsion do you have for me?

It is unfair to be thrown into a 20th century Russia, where there are no smartphones, laptop computers, or web novels, and it is unfair to be thrown away. Dizziness occurred.

Am I dating Olga?

Of course, Olga is more than enough for me to be honest.

It’s not like she’s a princess. Putting aside the gender gap and all that, Olga is a good person from a human-to-human point of view.

If we had met as human beings in the 21st century, there would have been no need to think twice.

He has a pretty face, and I’ve never seen him show any dislike while accepting the complaints of his four younger brothers.

Even if you mix the words a few times, you can immediately feel that you have a good personality and a good heart.

But the position I’m in right now is a problem.

I have no idea how to deal with this situation, and honestly, I have no idea how it happened.

It was even more confusing because I had never met a woman who said I liked her even once in the 20th and 21st centuries.

The only thing I knew about love or dating was a few lines I read from various places.

And if that’s helpful… I can assure you that it’s not as helpful as a dog or even an eyebrow.

Is it fortunate that there are no witnesses? It would be nice if Olga didn’t go out too hot.

Maybe it’ll just go well. In hindsight, Olga’s age is about the same as a high school student in 21st century Korea.

Is it just like a childish first love? It’s a time of intense emotional ups and downs, and both men and women are clumsy. It’s not that first love is hard to come by.

Maybe in a little while I’ll pay attention to someone else. Maybe it will.

If you go back later, you might think that it was because he had a bit of a sprained eye at that time.

‘Because the Romanovs are Romanovs.’

Established around the 19th century, the Romanov family of European aristocratic society had a reputation for being morally promiscuous despite the abundance of handsome men and women, and this opinion did not change until the fall of the Russian Empire.

This means that throughout the imperial family, it was not uncommon for men and women to play with separate lovers, whether married or not. Hitting me is probably one of those things. perhaps.

As long as Olga didn’t openly marry me or come out like that, the possibility that such a thing could have happened would be higher than expected.

‘In the first place, as long as the Russian Empire exists, there is no way Olga can marry me.’

Olga and I are in a town where the Russian Empire is strict about ghost marriage. It’s absolutely unreasonable.

No, it was so unexpected in the first place that I was in a panic because I couldn’t make a rational decision.

Thinking about it that way, I felt a little more at ease.

‘I’ll have to take some time and act according to the situation.’

Personally, I thought about visiting Olga to find out what she was doing, but I gave up on that because I thought it was just scraping and making crumbs.

As for the last problem, there is a high possibility that we will meet face-to-face tomorrow as well, so please take care of your facial expressions. No matter how young a first love is, there are so many possibilities of original love… That Juliet was also 13 years old.

If it had been such a temptation to just meet and break up lightly, there would be no need to worry in this way in the first place. After all, time is short.

‘Are you going to go to Ukraine anywhere with an excuse?’

Well, I’m a doctor, so I want to go to Paris with the excuse of attending a conference. It’s not for nothing that Paris is said to be the center of European intelligence at this time.

It is said that if you are far from your eyes, you will be far from your heart. It’s not that I don’t have a reasonable crush on her, but it’s a good loss for everyone, and it’s the right thing to do to break your heart.

‘But even if it was a one-day trip last time, I went to the Paldiski (Baltiskapotor) base for the screening ceremony and went on a business trip right away.’

Thinking about it, it was very sad.

It was the first time in many ways in my past and present life, and I have to sit and think about it like this.

‘Well, I guess this is my sale.’

As I walked down the hallway, sighing inwardly, I ran into the chief servant.

“Chief.”

“You don’t need to use a title like that.”

The chieftain smiled kindly, but I couldn’t help but be wary of the other person.

“Thank you for your last investment. Even if the name of the Sheredemef family was mentioned, almost everything went smoothly. As a token of appreciation, I would like to name the plant the Sheredemef Tractor Factory.”

“It’s just a Vostok tractor factory. The Count first set up such a noble will in the first place, but if we intervene, we will be insulted.”

“In terms of equity, you are overwhelming.”

“Didn’t you also delegate all management rights?”

I don’t know what the intentions of these yangbans are. He set up a joint venture, beat him with a bundle of money, took more than half of his stake, and wrote a memorandum that he would delegate all management rights to me.

Thanks to that, I had to design the tank, fearing that those humans might invade the factory.

“By the way, the skill of rolling money is really an art. Can you teach me a little bit about that trick?”

“haha! It is a trade secret.”

They keep talking about where they picked up the money I made from investing in stocks, but honestly, I just knew what the future knowledge would cost me, so I just rolled my short-term or long-term investments at the right time…

It’s obvious how beneficial it is in the stock market to know the future.

“I don’t know if the tsar is asking you to bring in the imperial assets after getting more trust than me, hahaha!”

“Is that so? How much money do I have to earn to be richer than the imperial family or the venerable aristocracy? In a position where there is no proper territory.”

As we chatted in one or two rooms, the roads crossed, and I entered the room and saw a pile of documents piled up like a mountain.

“What… what is this!”

Then a white hair rose from among the piles of paperwork.

It was Irina, my secretary, with only purple eyes like a periscope.

“Count, are you here?”

“Irina, what is all this? No, how long have I been away for so much to accumulate?”

“This is the data sent by the Tractor Design Bureau in Khabarovsk last evening. To summarize, we are currently experiencing difficulties with the tractor engine, so we recommend contacting the United States for technology transfer. The main candidates are Ford and General Motors, and the Vladivostok plant. It’s a progress report sent by the site… it raises the question of why it has to be Vladivostok.”

“Vladivostok is a port, so if you want to import parts that cannot be produced in-house in the US, Vladivostok is better.”

“St. Petersburg is also a port. And this is the Catechism of Prospective Believers sent by the Holy Governance Office. I have marked all the parts that need to be memorized, so please do not miss a single tosi and memorize it.”

The Holy Governing Clergy is simply the Patriarchate. From the time of Peter the Great until the collapse of the Russian Empire, there was no patriarchal seat in the Russian Empire, and the Holy Governing Clerk served as the patriarchal seat.

This was a measure that kept the Orthodox Church out of Tsar’s control. The head of the Holy Governing Clerk is the Emperor.

Anyway, I had to attend there for quite some time. The problem was that I had to spend the course half asleep…

No, by the way, I was busy with work every day, and after finishing my work, I thought it was too much to tell a person who collapsed in bed watching the east sky brighten not to fall asleep while receiving weekly training for six months.

Well, I don’t know if the tsar received the report and took pity on me, so he gave me instructions, but from a certain point onward, he seemed to take care of me even when I was dozing off.

Instead, I had to memorize the prayers, so I had to read them from time to time while working.

I’m trying to live, but if I do this for a long time, I don’t think I’ll be able to live long. really.

“But are you being baptized?”

“You should get it.”

If not, it is very difficult to live in Russia.

“What is your baptismal name?”

“Uh… huh?”

Come to think of it, I hadn’t considered that at all.

“I initially thought the Count’s baptismal name was Vostok.”

“Where is the baptismal name of Vostok (East)… Do you know it?”

Thinking of the Magi for a moment, I shook my head.

“Well, I think the Count is also a nickname, but Gaspar seems to suit him.”

Gaspar, a wise man who is one of the three wise men and is often described as a young man who offered frankincense.

The church, which values the fact that they were the first pagans to worship Jesus Christ, elevated them to represent the world of mankind, representing the old sage who symbolizes kingship, and the white man who offered Melchior gold, and the future suffering, death, and resurrection. A middle-aged sage, Balthazar, who offered myrrh, was portrayed as a black man, and a young wise man who symbolized divinity and priesthood, and Gaspar, who offered frankincense, was portrayed as a yellow man.

In the Greek Orthodox Church, they are said to be twelve, and the story of kings of Arabia, Persia, and India was added around the 3rd century, but the number of three is the most common.

I am also a yellow man, and my nickname, Vostok or Gaspar, might be a fitting christening name.

“Well, that wouldn’t be too bad…”

“Then who will your godparents be?”

“yes?”

“Aren’t godparents supposed to be present when you are baptized and receive confirmation?”

“ah.”

I didn’t think about it.

“……I should think about that.”

No one to ask for?
