Chapter 112. Preparations Before Departure

In a mansion on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

"love me!"

"Owner!"

"Love me with all your might!"

Her delicate body was snow-white and smooth.

Like trees trembling in the wind.

Sergei's hand gently stroked it.

Those long, straight legs were as smooth as if carved from jade, and were rounded and elastic.

When this exquisite masterpiece.

It was coiled around the waist.

That wonderful feeling reached its peak.

Agafia tilted her long, fair neck back.

She had her eyes closed.

At this moment, she felt that there would never be a moment in her life more joyful and unforgettable than this.

An hour later.

Agafia lay sprawled on the cushioned sofa, completely exhausted.

"When you came, the sun hadn't set yet, but now you can't see anything outside." Agafia glanced outside.

"What do you want to say?" Sergei stroked her hair.

"I want to say—it took so long—"

"It can go even longer." Sergei lifted her chin.

But the next second, he realized that his provocation had completely backfired.

If it were Anastasia, she would have already begged for mercy by now, but after he finished speaking, Agafia's pupils suddenly lit up again.

She crawled onto his chest like a water snake.

Her red lips left behind a series of alluring lip prints.

She moved toward one side of his chest.

I blew a gentle breath.

And she lifted her beautiful face.

When I saw that scarlet, soft, and slippery thing.

Sergei finally couldn't resist and placed his hand on her head.

"hiss----"

Sergei lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Enjoy this wonderful moment.

Agafia left his chest and came to the edge of the sofa, kneeling on it.

That smooth back was as white as jade.

It extends into a pert, upturned curve.

Agafia turned around, her eyes glazed over, her expression alluring.

"Owner."

"love me."

Sergei cursed under his breath, calling her a demon.

Sergei had originally planned to stay there for two hours, but when he was about to leave, he found that more than five hours had already passed.

He looked at the figures patrolling and on guard outside; these were all people Besdudev had arranged to protect his daughter.

"This is the suburbs, so we can have more manpower."

As he spoke, Sergei handed her a note.

"In a village not far from here live five people. This is the name of the leader. If there is any uncontrollable danger, send someone to find them."

Agafia looked at him with a smile.

"There are at least 30 people protecting me here. Do you think that's not enough? Do you think your five people will be enough?"

Sergei did not answer.

Although he only allowed Yuri to assign 5 men from the pistol squad, dealing with these 30 men was effortless.

He had Yuri train everyone in an advanced individual combat method, adapting them to various special operations, and equipped them with firepower sufficient to overwhelm any equipment.

He didn't explain to Agafia that, firstly, he couldn't expose these secrets unless absolutely necessary, and secondly, he had already placed people around Agafia.

Among those seven or eight maids were two secret policewomen planted by Yulia.

Therefore, if the secret committee is unable to rescue them in time, and it is the pistol team's turn to take action, then these two policewomen will also be silenced.

Seeing that Sergei didn't speak, Agafia nodded to herself and took the note.

"I'll remember that. I'll send someone if there's any danger. You are the vice chairman of the secret committee."

"It's not anymore."

Hearing Sergei say this, Agafia also looked disappointed.

It wasn't because his position and power had been reduced, but because Sergei was about to leave St. Petersburg and Russia.

"Is Sweden fun?" Agafia suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Sergei looked at her.

Agafia answered herself, "It must be fun there. I'll come find you."

Sergei smiled. "Are you serious?"

"Hmm." Agafia leaned lazily against the stair railing and waved at him.

Sergei went downstairs and left the mansion.

After boarding the carriage, Sergei did not return to the city, but instead headed to a more remote part of the parish.

Soon, he arrived at a village.

He put on a black cloak and went into a house.

"My lord!" Yuri immediately stepped forward upon seeing him.

There were 11 people in the house, not just him.

Fiona, who was sitting in the corner, ran over to Sergei with great joy as soon as she saw him.

The little girl of yesteryear has now blossomed into a graceful young woman.

Her long coat and trousers perfectly accentuated her tall figure, and her short hair made her look very neat and tidy.

She doesn't have a stunningly beautiful face, but she's very pleasing to the eye.

Her joy at seeing Sergei was palpable.

But she didn't call Sergei the way she did when she was a child, because there were other people around, and Sergei hadn't agreed to be her father.

For the others, Fiona's reaction was nothing new.

Since they joined the pistol squad, Fiona had always given them the impression of being taciturn and never smiling. But every time they saw Sergei, she seemed like a completely different person. Their smiles were unbelievable, a stark contrast to the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness she displayed during missions.

"Is everything arranged?" Sergei asked.

Yuri nodded: "It's all arranged. Your family members, in the palace and in the suburbs, will be on duty in pairs on a rotating basis. Alexander has already contacted Pimen."

Alexander is the deputy captain of the pistol squad. Yuri is going to Sweden secretly to take care of Sergei's protection and other work, so Alexander is in charge of managing the pistol squad here, while Pimen is in charge of coordinating and dispatching Sergei's entire underground forces.

Sergei nodded.

With Pimen there, the pistol team, along with Ulyana, Hofmale, Felice, and others, as well as Victor...

He could contact Deville and others, and still get real-time updates on the court's movements.

Georgie, Gleb, Maxim, and others need not worry; their relationship remains unchanged.

There are also people who are affected by their own "exile," such as MP Vladislav.

However, such people are driven by self-interest.

Once he returns and is reinstated, the other party's problem will be easily solved.

Then there are the secret committees. Other positions, such as the Royal Deputy Chief Steward or Senior Advisor to the Construction Bureau, are actually very difficult to cultivate true loyalists for.

He made as thorough a preparation as possible for the secret committee.

Stepan was willing to pledge allegiance to Catherine, but she clearly could not accept Peter's foolishness, as he was completely incapable of becoming the emperor of the empire.

He told Yulia that the list and power of the secret policewoman could only be in her own hands, otherwise she could be replaced at any time after handing it over. But she could join forces with Stepan to resist Shuvalov's pressure.

Arseni will not have any problems as long as his close ties with him are not exposed.

He could no longer control Vadim and Vitali; whether they would choose to betray him was unknown.

11 month 1 day.

Elizabeth granted Catherine permission to receive formal congratulations from courtiers and foreign envoys as Paul's mother.

He also ordered a luxurious reception room to be set up overnight, where Catherine sat on a rose-red velvet chaise lounge embroidered with silver thread.

"Just putting on an act," Ekaterina sneered.

As soon as the ceremony ended, the ornate furniture was taken away, and Catherine locked herself in her bedroom again.

She stood by the window, as if she could see the carriage disappearing into the distance.

"Sergei, I will always wait for you, wait for you to come back."
