Saint Petersburg.
Kross, an assessment expert from the Heixinggen consortium, is bargaining with Sergei, a trusted confidant of Tsar Alexandria II (a fictional character).

Kross cautiously verified with Count Sergei, as this was a significant deal, and no details could be overlooked.
"Someone of my status and position has no such petty thoughts to toy with you. In fact, some ministers had previously proposed to His Majesty the sale of the Alaska region. Some even wanted to contact the American government to have them take over the Alaska territory," Count Sergei said seriously.
"Now, Alaska has become a burden to the Empire, and it also faces threats from the British, which is why there's talk of selling the Alaska region."
