Golden Horde

When Yesugei attacked Rus', Misha was still a very young, inexperienced city. Having fallen into the abyss of fear, death and despair, little Moscow had no choice but to surrender.

Since Yesugei liked the boy, he became his personal slave. After that, Misha was subjected to a huge number of punishments, from which he learned one thing - if you want to survive, you must be able to gain trust.
He betrayed, lied, fawned - he did everything so that Yesugei would trust him, and he himself learned and adopted from his tormentor everything that could be useful.

Years passed. Mikhail had long since accepted the fact of who he had become. Who he had been forced to become.
One such day, Orda called Moscow to him. Kneeling down, not daring to raise his head, he greeted his master, ignoring his own disgust. Casting a cold glance at the boy, Yesugei said.

"You look as pathetic as usual."
