Third person POV

" It's so good to see you, dear sister!"
Alexandra exclaimed, embracing the Grand Duchess Elisabeth Fiodorovna, who hugged her immediately.
" I'm so glad to meet you, as well, Sunny!"
Footsteps from afar could be heard and soon, all the children appeared.
" Auntie Ella!" OTMA cheered in union, running to her and hugging her.
[ Y/N] took a step backwards and wanted to go back... She couldn't help but feel nervous. As she was about to turn away, hoping that no one will notice, someone grabbed her hand...

" Don't even think about it. "Alexei said sternly, as if she tried to commit a crime.
" But..." She started...
" No."
" I didn't even...."
" But I see what you're up to. No."
[Y/N] sighed and looked at the floor, resigned. " Why are you so stubborn...?" She muttered, unconsciously ,thing that she wasn't about to say out loud to him, but he heard it.
"I'm a Romanov." He smiled and she shook her head, laughing quietly.

" Alexei ! I haven't seen you in quite a while...My, how you've grown!
Elisabeth approached them and gave the boy a hug. Then, she noticed a girl standing next to him. " And who might this lovely, young lady be?" [Y/N]'s face flushed a bit as she wasn't used to such complements. Alexei smiled.
" This is the countess [Y/N] Andrieyevna Ipolitova." He introduced and the girl made a courtesy. " Delighted to make your acquaintance, ma'am." She spoke softly and Elisabeth nodded her head with a smile. " I'm very pleased to meet you,as well,[Y/N]."

" Such a sweet little girl..." Alexandra's sister smiled as both of them watched the children decorating the Christmas tree. " Will she stay with you for long?"
" We promised [Y/N]'s mother to take care of her, when there's need. Andriey died yesterday. She has no one else." Alexandra sighed. And Elisabeth looked at her confused.
" Didn't Ekaterina had a sister?"
" Sonia took care of [Y/N]'s siblings... And we took care of [Y/N]. Nicki is her godfather, after all..."
" Ah, I see..."

Meanwhile

Gleb walked through the cold streets of St. Petersburg as the snow, falling from above distracted his view.

He couldn't stop thinking about the girl from yesterday. She seemed unaware of everything that was happening then,and at the same time, her eyes showed how much she knows...
Everything that his father told him about the upper class was nothing like her... She wasn't snobby, or proud, or selfish... In fact, she was  the first person who didn't know him and still, showed him the slightest bit of compassion, even though he was awful for her. He have never met someone like this... And her attitude started to couse doubts inside his mind...

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Gleb: It's Christmas' Eve... Everyone is home... Except for those who are lost in mist...

As he walked by he saw a group of the children. They sat by the walls shaking from cold and crying from hunger.

Gleb: Many of us has no place called" home". It's been like this for three hundred years...
Dear God...

He smiled bitterly.

Gleb: You don't give answers, do you, Friend?
Just questions that don't ever end!

Why,God?! Why today? There are changes on their way! Old things are nothing, I would miss... Why send me now, memory like this?!
