He's content to let things go for now, and so things are as they should be for a while longer. A Council member dies; a more favorable one is nominated to the position. He isn't more favorable by much, granted, but he'll work for the time being; either way, Yeager receives his payment, and Alexei doesn't care much what he does with it.
It's enough that he's willing to let things be for the time being; he leaves things as they are until he has to return to Guild territory. The Don still being alive has presented unforeseen complications, in that it means peace negotiations are ongoing; Alexei has, thus far, completely failed to get anywhere near the man's good side. That doesn't mean he can't negotiate with the Don, because the Don is an amenable man, but at the same time he has...not figured out the key to earning the Don's respect, regardless of how much Schwann tries to coach him on the matter.
So it is that he's in the general vicinity of Dahngrest, and he's entirely aware that Yeager is not allowed within the city limits because of course he's not; that doesn't mean they can't meet outside of those limits, however, once Alexei has convinced the inevitable entourage he has with him that he'll be fine for a few hours on his own.]
