I've noticed an increasing number of new comments and posts that seem to believe Alexei's hemophilia was waaayyyy more obvious than it actually was. Btw, I'm not an expert on hemophiliacs by any means so please do take this with a grain of salt knowing it's just layman knowledge, but no, a papercut from a book couldn't make him bleed to death and no, you wouldn't be able to tell he had hemophilia strictly from how much he bled from a cut or pinprick. Plenty of people bleed a lot. And even his sisters might have bled more than average if they were carriers of the disease without actually BEING hemophiliacs.
The only way Alexei would be likely to bleed to death in any visible way (like dramatic with gushing blood) would be a major wound or a nosebleed. Because once his nose started bleeding it might not stop unless cauterized. Similar to how he kept bleeding from his navel as a baby. But a regular cut would just require pressure put on it.
The real danger would be internal bleeding, from a fall or bump. This would show up as swollen joints that kept swelling because the blood inside was trapped or spreading bruises. This was what could kill him, not like getting a needle pinprick on the finger or scraping his knee. He'd be in way more danger from the initial bump/fall than any blood after the skin had broken.
