Nicholas 1

You are a Prussian princess. Your father, August, and Nicholas's father, Paul, were friends. One day, your fathers decided to meet at Paul's palace, and your father took you with him.

You're sitting on the sofa in the small living room while Pavel and your father are talking in the study. Nikolai (you're both 12 years old) runs up to you, starts teasing you and tugging at your French braid, and you can't take it anymore and hit him. He continued, and this fight lasted for twenty minutes until your fathers came and separated you.

Six years have passed, you are eighteen, you were invited with your father to a ball in honor of the Tsarevich’s eighteenth birthday, you came in a luxurious white dress trimmed with pearls.

A few minutes of the ball passed, and he came up to you... Nikolai... You didn’t recognize him, he kissed your hand as a sign of decency and looked at you with his big eyes.
