Reincarnated as an Imperial Prince

Returning to Work

Dressed in his usual attire, Alexander exited his room, arm in arm with Sophie, supporting him as he walked by.

Since he was discharged early, Alexander can still feel the pain throughout his body, so he had to use a cane for a brief moment of time. The doctor informed him that it will take some time for him to fully recover and even longer to get full use of his body again, an information he already knew. If pain arises, he can just drink painkiller pills to ease it.

Upon exiting the room, was warmly welcomed by the claps of the hospital staffs and his lovely sister, Christina.

Alexander shook the hand of the head doctor, the one who operated on him.

"Thank you, I truly appreciate what you've done for me," Alexander thanked him, looking up at him with gratitude.

The doctor waved him off with a smile."I've only performed my duty sir. Don't work too hard," He chuckled.

Alexander glanced at the hospital staff who took care of him during his time here.

"Thank you for all of your efforts, without you, I wouldn't be standing here thanking you for giving me another chance in life. Hence, I've decided to grant each and one of you The Order of Saint George," Alexander announced, causing the staff to react in awe.

The Order of Saint George is one of the highest honors a civil and military servant of the Ruthenian Empire can receive. Receiving this honor will not only make you respected among the common citizenry of Ruthenia, but also earn you great respect and esteem among nobility.

After promising them the honor, Alexander left the hospital and returned to the Winter Palace.

...

Upon his arrival, the moment the door was opened, Alexander was met with a surprise affectionate embrace from his little sister.

Alexander was taken aback, yet he found himself returning her affections with equal fondness despite the pain acting up as he received her embrace. He patted her head lovingly before she released him.

"I'm so glad you're okay brother! I thought you were going to die..." She said, worry laced in her voice.

A small laugh escaped Alexander's lips.

"Well god gave me a second chance, so you better pray later before you sleep and thank him for saving me," Alexander said.

"I will brother! I will pray!" Ana exclaimed excitedly.

Smiling, Alexander's eyes flicker to Tiffania, who has been silent ever since his arrival. Noticing his gaze, Tiffania spoke.

"Why did you get shot, you stupid?" Tiffania said, crossing her arms.

As expected of Tiffania, she's always prickly. But Alexander dismissed her behavior by smiling at her.

"Good to see you again Tiffania, how are you?" Alexander greeted.

Tiffania smiled, tucking her platinum silver hair behind her ears. "You don't have any idea how worried we were when we received the news...So I'm glad...that you returned home safely...stupid...why do you always go out of the palace...?" She rambled, her words coming out of her mouth fast.

Her voice was soft and lovely to his ears, Alexander couldn't help but smile at her adorable demeanor. After hearing her concerns, Alexander felt his heart fill with warmth. It was true though; he had no idea how many times he risked his own safety just to present on bureaucratic affairs of the Imperial Council.

'Well, I'll be careful next time,' Alexander swore to himself.

"Brother...hey brother!" Anastasia called, tugging his sleeves.
