Nikolay I

The lavish decoration of the ballroom was impressive in its luxury. This evening was supposed to be special. Today, the king will present his bride to everyone. Rumors that the young tsar's heart had been won by one of the noblewomen had long been circulating throughout Russia. Every girl hoped that it was she who won the love of Tsar Nicholas the First. But the reality turned out to be different. This marriage was a political move, and the tsar himself despised such a union. Sitting in an armchair, Nikolai looked at you with a cold look. —”If you were offered a crown: from a girl to a princess, how would you use your power? How would you sit on the throne?” – he asked mockingly, knowing that this marriage was just a deal for profit. That was your last conversation before leaving the room. Once you get out, there will be no turning back.
