Grand Duke Mikhail looked at Fyodor sincerely, as if he was trying his best to retain him, at least it seemed that way.
But only Fyodor knew that things were not that simple, because he had been with Grand Duke Mikhail for so many years and had a clear understanding of the true inner activities represented by every move of the Grand Duke.
On the surface, Grand Duke Mikhail was very sincere, but Fyodor could not feel the slightest sincerity. This person was just talking, and he did not really mean to let him stay.
Fyodor was actually not angry about this. The reason was that except that he had a good relationship with Grand Duke Mikhail and just wanted to make the Grand Duke better from beginning to end, he had no other thoughts. So if
One day, Grand Duke Mikhail told him that the fate between the two parties was over and they should break up. Then he would accept it all peacefully and would never be resentful or resentful.
Secondly, Fyodor really felt a little tired. He had been a royal tutor for so many years and had assisted Grand Duke Mikhail for so long. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, but the results were not satisfactory. He
I feel a little frustrated and wonder if the reason why Grand Duke Mikhail is like this is because he didn't teach him well.
Since he couldn't teach well, Fyodor felt that it was natural to let other better teachers teach Grand Duke Mikhail.
In other words, he has already made up his mind to leave, and he himself wants to leave. As the saying goes, you can't keep someone who really wants to leave, so it doesn't matter whether Grand Duke Mikhail is sincere or false.
, Fyodor doesn’t care.
Of course, if you want to say that Fyodor has no regrets at all, that would be false. After all, humans are not just grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? Even if you have raised a puppy for so many years, you will still have feelings, let alone a human being?
Grand Duke Mikhail's hypocrisy made Fyodor very sad. For the first time, he found that Grand Duke Mikhail was so strange, as if he had never really known the Grand Duke.
But it didn't matter. Feodor, who had already decided to leave, was not interested in delving into why Grand Duke Mikhail was so hypocritical. He just replied calmly:
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. You have not done anything wrong, but I feel that I am helping you less and less. And as you grow, your abilities become stronger and stronger, and there are more and more places where I need my help."
The less. If I continue to stay with you, it will only hinder your continued growth. Moreover, I have been busy with work these years and have neglected to pay attention to my family. Now I can only go home to accompany my family and wait for you in the future if you need me.
Serve.”
Grand Duke Mikhail still seemed to be very reluctant to leave, but after "hesitation again and again" he sighed and said: "Fyodor, my good friend, I am extremely reluctant to let you go, but you are right.
"Home always comes first. I can't stop you from going home. That's too unkind. Well, my friend, I hope we can move forward hand in hand in the future!"
Fyodor left, which made Grand Duke Mikhail breathe a sigh of relief, because he was indeed a little dissatisfied with this loyal old friend and what he had done.
how to say?
Grand Duke Mikhail admitted that Fyodor had been of great help to him. For example, if it were not for Fyodor in the incident just now, he would probably have been blinded or exhausted.
But, what Fyodor did also set alarm bells ringing in his heart. He felt that Fyodor had overstepped his authority!
Think about it, he is the one in charge after all, he did not make the decision, but Fyodor surpassed him and made the decision without authorization, even if this decision was beneficial to Grand Duke Mikhail, but Mikhail
The Grand Duke did not like this approach.
He thought it was best for Fyodor to discuss with him first and make suggestions to him first and obtain his approval before announcing them, rather than overstepping his authority and giving orders without permission. Names and tools cannot be faked, this is no joke!
Even if Fyodor has no intention of riding on Grand Duke Mikhail's head, this kind of trend is intolerable in the eyes of Grand Duke Mikhail. If everyone under him follows Fyodor's behavior in the future,
Then doesn’t his boss become a clay Buddha decoration?
Grand Duke Michael did not learn anything else from Nicholas I, but he learned this set of things very closely. Naturally, he was extremely wary of Fyodor, fearing that this man would be superior to him.
So even though Fyodor was doing his best and helped him solve a big problem, he decided to teach Fyodor a lesson and tell him who was the boss.
According to Grand Duke Mikhail's original plan, he was going to find a reason and excuse to deal with Feodor in two days, which could be regarded as a warning and a show of authority. But what Grand Duke Mikhail did not expect was that Feodor
I actually took the initiative to resign and asked to leave. At first, Grand Duke Mikhail was a little surprised and a little reluctant to leave, but soon he thought of what just happened, and he couldn't help but feel angry again!
Why was Grand Duke Mikhail angry again? The reason was very simple. He thought that Fyodor was using retreat to advance his army, so as to avoid being punished for overstepping his authority. This naturally made Grand Duke Mikhail
He was furious and felt more and more that Fyodor had a "disloyal heart", so he simply went along with the situation and just pretended to retain him. The real idea was to idle Fyodor for a while to let Fyodor know who was the real one.
boss.
Grand Duke Mikhail probably felt that Fyodor did not really want to leave, but was just using this to manipulate him to force him to make concessions. He felt that as long as Fyodor was left alone for a while, he would become honest.
Anyway, Grand Duke Mikhail was not nervous at all, and was even secretly happy, because to be honest, during this trip to Kiev, Feodor always opposed him and poured cold water on him, which made him a little irritable.
He felt that without Fyodor as a noisy stumbling block, his actions would become more decisive and agile, and perhaps the results would be better.
Especially now, with Fyodor's idea, he can safely push an agent to confront Count Shuvalov. It can advance, attack and retreat, and it is completely invincible.
, it doesn’t matter whether there is Fyodor or not at this time!
The only thing that Grand Duke Mikhail did not expect was that Feodor would be so resolute and decisive in leaving. After saying goodbye to him, he did not stay in Kiev for a long time, but left directly the next day. That was without any nostalgia.
No drag at all.
Fyodor even refused to see Grand Duke Mikhail off, on the grounds that the situation in Kiev was critical and there was no need to waste energy seeing him off, and it was not a separation of life and death, so there was no need to be so pretentious about meeting him in St. Petersburg in the future.
In short, it stunned Grand Duke Mikhail, and he secretly began to feel that something was wrong...
