The surrender of Moldova and Wallachia brought a smile to Paskievich's face as he once again raised his glass to toast with the Grand Duke of Moldova and Wallachia.
The same wine tastes different in the mouths of tasters with different mindsets.
For the Grand Duke of the Danube Duchy, this glass of wine was the most bitter and hard-to-swallow wine in the world.
For Paskievich, however, this glass of wine was filled with sweetness.
After one glass of wine, the "inebriated" Grand Duke of Moldova and Wallachia left the castle.
Standing by the window on the second floor of the castle, watching the Grand Duke of Moldova and Wallachia being helped into the carriage, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Paskievich's mouth.
Standing behind Paskievich, Gorchakov took this moment to ask if he should send someone to monitor the two Grand Dukes to prevent them from acting unwisely.
Faced with Gorchakov's request for surveillance, Paskievich immediately refused, saying, "No need!"
