Reincarnated as an Imperial Prince Chapter 5: A First Day?

 Alexander already had a list of equipment in his mind, the only problem now is where to get it? Most of which are obtainable from chemical or pharmaceutical plants. He doesn't have a list of companies yet so he went to a room that would serve as his office to look.

In front of him was Christine, leading him to his office room. As she opened the door for him, he was greeted by a large room with a pretty big table at the far back center.

The ceiling, as always, was high and gilded The office walls were decorated with old and priceless paintings and antiques.

So this is the office of the Emperor of all Ruthenia huh? He said to himself, glancing at every nick and cranny of his administrative room.

Alexander strode all the way to his desk, his footsteps echoed across the room.

He sat down in his chair and it was as if he was sitting on a throne.

"I can't still imagine that you'll become the father of all Ruthenia at such a young age, my dear brother." Christina stood by his side.

"Yeah...me too."

No one expected Alexander de Romanoff to become an emperor at such a young age. Many people would see him unqualified for such a post with their opinions backed with facts and stories about him being a playboy and not that good in academics.

But due to the recent despicable event where the Emperor and the Empress were assassinated, Alexander is expected to become the next emperor according to the line of succession.

Normally, it would be the first child of the royal family, but since the first was a woman, and a woman can't become a ruler due to succession laws, Alexander, who is the first male born to the royal family, is the only can take the throne.

So as of right now, Alexander de Romanoff is the de facto emperor of Ruthenia.

Though his work hasn't started yet because of his recovery, he'd expect people from administrative sectors to visit him in a day or two to debrief him on his work.

"Christina, does an Emperor get to have a personal assistant?" Alexander asked, well now he's in the office, he doesn't know where he will get the list of the companies he needed to inquire with.

"Yes, but they'll arrive in the afternoon along with the ministers of our father. I was told to contact them after you recovered."

So the work will start today huh?

Alexander imagined what kind of work does an emperor perform daily? Is it like being a CEO? If that was the case, then it'll be easy for him to adjust.

Setting that aside, Alexander began to look for documents referencing chemical or pharmaceutical plants.

Christina also helped but after thirty minutes, there were not in luck.

"Looks like we're going to have to ask our ministers for this matter, don't you think?" Alexander's eyes flickered to Catarina, sorting and returning a stack of documents to where they originally belonged.

"Yes, I think so too...dear brother. Is it that urgent that you have to take the medicine?"

"Well according to the prognosis of the royal doctor, Ana has years to live. But I want to end her suffering as soon as possible so technically yes, it's kind of urgent."

"Alright, I'll inform you when the ministers arrive, I'll leave you here in your office. If you need anything, you can ask the royal guards just outside that door to call for me."

Christina said as she glided out of his room.

One hour later...

The telephone at Alexander's desk rang. He picked it up and he was greeted by Christina's voice.

"The ministers are already here, is it okay to send them there now dear brother?"

"Yeah, send them in."

Alexander nodded and replaced the telephone back on its cradle.

A minute later a group of ministers and generals walked into the office room and were surprised to see a young boy already sitting in the chair that belongs to the emperor.

Alexander stood up and looked at the ministers and generals walking in.

Exchanging a look with one another, they bowed reverently.

Alexander smiled, bowing his head back.

As they stood up straight, one of the people in the line began speaking.

"If I may...Your Majesty,"

Alexander looked at the man and nodded.

"We, your ministers, wanted to express our condolences regarding your parent's death. We are very much regretful for the loss of both your parents." Alexander nodded again.
