Constantinople(Istanbul), the Ottoman Empire
"Crash!!!"
The antique porcelain vase shattered into a million pieces as Mehmed continued to reach out for other objects, unable to control his rage. "Garbage, all of them, garbage, they couldn't even resist the Russians until the reinforcements arrived."
He kept scolding without pause. Köprülüzade Fazil Ahmad Pasha, the Grand Vizier, stood aside in absolute silence, as if he was unaffected by the news of the Ottoman Empire losing Moldova. But the furrowed eyebrows, reddened complexion, throbbing temples, and nerves popping out of his neck said otherwise. The only reason he could still control himself was because he was in the presence of His Majesty the Emperor, and it would appear extremely disrespectful if he acted out in emotions right now.
The destruction of several ancient antiques later, Mehmed IV finally calmed down.
