Journey To the Past [ Romanovs x Reader] 🇺🇸

Help and determination pt.1

Third Person POV

In Paris ~

" I've never been so humiliated in my whole entire life!" Alexei shouted angrily.
" The nerve of some people...." Olga mumbled annoyed and Anastasia laughed dryly.
" And all of this for money..." Maria shook her head. In that moment Tatiana came into the room.
" Alyosha, mama and papa want to see you..." He nodded and stood up from the armchair. All of his sisters watched as he walked through the door. While he was gone, they looked at each other, concerned.
" Do you think it's about, how he responded for a letter from Ileana's mother?" Maria asked quietly.
" Most probably..." Olga nodded.

" You wished to see me?" He looked at his parents.
" Sit down,son..." Nicholas said softly. He did what he was told and his father continued. " Why did you lie in the letter to the queen of Romania?"
" I didn't lie. I said the truth and ONLY truth.
" At the proposal of marriage with Ileana, you responded that you're not eligible."
" Because I am not." He answered simply. Alexandra sighed. " Alexei... I know you miss [Y/N] but..." She bit her lip. "... We haven't heard from her for last 7 years... What if she's..."
" Don't even finish the sentence!" Alexei warned. When he realized that he almost raised his voice at his mother, he reflected. " I'm so sorry..."
" It's OK... But you have to understand that she might have not survived..."
Nicholas squeezed Alexandra's arm and gave her a quick glance and now she also noticed, Alexei's hands started to shake as he nodded and spoke up. " Until I'm not given a proof that she's dead... I'm not giving up on her..."
" What proof?"
" Location of the grave, witnesses of death... Anything that proves with all certainty that my [Y/N] is dead!"
" Alexei..." Nicholas uttered, not actually knowing what to say in the situation... Alexandra remained silent.
"  If everything is clear now, I hope you don't mind me going back to my room? I'm quite tired."
" Of course. Goodnight, son..." The tsar nodded slowly. As the young man closed the door behind himself, his parents looked at each other.
" He really does love her, doesn't he?" Alix sighed softly as her husband couldn't help but smile sadly. " He does. He truly does..."

" But you've said, interviews like this are humiliating you..."
" I have no choice, Nastya... What else left for me to do?"
Anastasia thought for a moment. " You know what? We'll gonna do the interviews!"
" You?"
" Olga, Tatiana, Maria and I."
" Aren't the ' Big Pair' coming back to their husbands today? And don't forget, Mashka is with child. If something happens to her, Louis will be furious..."
" Yeah... Then only I left..." She gave him a hug from the side. " Don't worry little brother. We'll find [Y/N/n]... Everything is going to be all right!"
" Thank you, Nastya..."

At the evening

Alexei's POV

Actually there was some good sides of this terrible situation from 1918... My sisters almost all got married, started their own families... Mashka already has 2 children and third on the way... Tatiana became an elementary school teacher and thanks to that father's not a tsar (technically) Olga could marry that soldier she fell in love with...
Only Nasya is not married yet... And I. But as for me, I already have the one I wish to marry. As long as there is hope she's out there somewhere... I won't give up on her. I'll find her and, if she'll have me, I'll make her my wife...

Middle of the night.

Third Person POV

Alexei was now almost 21. He grew into a very handsome young man, but unfortunately his hemophilia still showed up sometimes... Like tonight.
