Looking at Nicholas I on the throne waving away his attendants, the ever-cooperative Carl Nesselrode hurried to Nicholas I's side and bowed slightly to greet the most distinguished Tsar of Russia before him.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed good news!" Carl Nesselrode responded to Nicholas I.
"Oh? What exactly is the news?" Nicholas I smiled, looking at Carl Nesselrode with an expression of great interest.
Nicholas I trusted that Carl Nesselrode would never disappoint him, as the only outcome for those who did was dismissal.
"Your Majesty, the news comes from France!" Carl Nesselrode cautiously responded to Nicholas I.
Carl Nesselrode knew that since 1830, France had been a "pain" to His Majesty the Tsar. One cornerstone of the principle of legitimacy collapsed there [referring to the establishment of the Orléans Dynasty], not to mention the revolution two years ago that affected all of Europe originated from there.
