We have to eat dinner very fast so we can sleep early for our trip tomorrow.

I headed to my room grabbed my diary and sat down with Olga and Tatiana who was also writing in their diary.

"Olga if Rasputin Really had an affair with us would you forgive him?" I asked out of the blue. "I dont actually know But if he really did I would NEVER forgive him" Olga answered. "True i wouldn't too" I added. "I agree with your opinions but God said we should Forgive and love our enemies" Tatiana said. "Well its true it says that in the bible and we should follow his words" Olga agreed. What they said was true but if the rumor was real i would never ever forgive him. I dont want to tell them that i dont agree with Tatiana's opinion because i don't want a war with them. I headed to my bed turned off my lamp I whispered good night to my sister's and went to sleep.

*The next day*

I was woken up by Anastasia hitting me with a pillow I sat up "NASTYA! DONT WAKE PEOPLE UP LIKE THAT! ITS DISRESPECTFUL" I shouted at her. She looked down and started to cry. I pulled her in my arms "Im sorry my dear sister for shouting at you Im deeply sorry" I apologized rubbing her back in comfort "Its okay Sonyechka what i did was wrong too Im sorry for hitting you with a pillow i wont do it ever again" She apologized "What's going on here?" Olga asked confusingly. I pulled away from Anastasia and headed to the bathroom ignoring Olga's question.

I came out of the bath and started dressing to our sailor uniforms. We didn't need to fix our hair because its already tied away with our little hat. We immediately went out with our bags in hand ready to leave. We didn't eat breakfast because there was breakfast in the Standart. We rode the carriage i sat in the middle between Maria and Alexei. We waved to the crowd and saw a camera filming us. Me being me i decided to smile and did a little wave at it. I started to wonder will they see this in the future? I wonder what my future descendants would look like Who would i mary?. I snapped out of my thoughts as the carriage rode off to the bay area where the Standart is.

Minutes later we finally arrived at the Standart. We got out of the carriage and followed Mama and Papa to the Standart but of course before we enter we have to greet the officers. They kissed our hands while they did that i wondered if they brushed their teeth I mentally throwed up thinking about it.

After we greet some officers I immediately went to the kitchen to eat breakfast we had Tea and sandwiches i sat next to a random officer because Olga and Tatiana are occupied with their Love interests while Anastasia and Maria are playing chests. "Greetings Tsarevna Sofia" The officer beside me greeted "Hi officer what's your name?" I asked taking a sip of my tea "My name is Sergei Viliogranov" He answered "Pleasure to meet you Sergei Viliogranov please call me Sofi or Sofia" I said sticking my hand out for him to kiss. He kissed it without any hassle. After i finished my food i putted it in the dishwasher then headed to Sergei "Sergei come and talk with me out in the deck i want to get to know about you" I invited. I went out in the deck with Sergei following me behind "So Sergei where are you from and how did you became an officer on this Standart?" I asked looking out in the clean blue water "Well im from Voronezh and i started working here in the Standart when i was about 16 years old to help my family" He answered with a saddened face. I touched his hand still looking out in the sea. "How often do you see them? Do you miss them?" I asked "Well I haven't seen them in a long time and i do miss them a lot" he said. I felt bad for him imagine not seeing your family for a long time That must've hurt a lot. "You'll see them soon" i said trying to comfort him.

I sat Sergei sat next to me "What are your hobbies?" He asked "I like reading books,Sewing and writing poems" I answered "That's nice. You and your sister Olga look a lot like each other" He said. I nodded my head "Yeah i agree except she had Chestnut hair and blue eyes while i have Auburn hair and dark blue eyes" I clarified smiling at him. He smiled back as well "Yeah you and Duchess Tatiana resembled your mother much" He said i nodded my head in agreement.

We sat talking for a while until Olga called me for something. I excused myself to Sergei and Followed Olga to Papa's office.
