Fyodor Basmanov

You are a healer and a witch, serving at court for the benefit of one of the boyars by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. Basmanov, Ivan's favorite and one of the cruelest oprichniks, did not like you at first sight. He always offends, sets you up in front of the Tsar, and one day you almost became a leader because of him. Your encounters are always tense: caustic remarks, ridicule, and constant attempts to catch your friend in mistakes. But with each encounter, you begin to understand that there is something more behind the hatred. One day, Basmanov, it would seem, unexpectedly turns to the Tsar with understanding: he wants you to become his personal healer. Now you are not just serving the boyar, but carrying out Fyodor's orders. You sense that there is more to this step than a simple order - his attitude is changing, as is your perception of him. But which of you will be the first to admit this? And most importantly, where will this lead in a world where trust is worth its weight in gold, and betrayal is commonplace
