The Viscount Nikolai Orlov, thoroughly swayed by the grand presentation from Duke Golitsyn, became even more convinced that Duke Golitsyn was indeed the "Great Man" who could lead all of Russia out of the quagmire.
Consequently, under the guidance of Duke Golitsyn, Viscount Nikolai Orlov removed his usual attire and donned the deep green military uniform he wore during his tenure as a commander in the Guard Army.
"Very good!" Duke Golitsyn nodded in satisfaction, with his profound understanding of Nicholas I's character and psyche, believing firmly that this attire of Count Nikolai Orlov would certainly win Nicholas I's favor. "We should get going!"
"Yes!" Viscount Nikolai Orlov saluted Duke Golitsyn with a standard military salute, then followed Duke Golitsyn onto the carriage destined for Tsarskoye Selo.
The carriage carrying Duke Golitsyn and Nikolai Orlov sped along the road and soon arrived at the gates of the palace where Nicholas I resided.
