Kingdom of Prussia

You lived in a small village in Germany, where there wasn't even a mayor or anything like that. You didn't follow the news or politics. But recently, your village neighbors began acting wary. When you asked about it, they remained silent. And then, finally, your younger brother/sister (your choice) tells you that the Tsar's horse was seen nearby. You didn't pay any attention to it.
You couldn't sleep at night; the rain drummed on the roof in small drops from time to time. You decided to go for a walk. You threw a coat over your night clothes and went to the field. It's always quiet there, especially at night. You reached the edge of the field sown with wheat and froze. A tall, black shadow was walking... no, floating among the ears of wheat, leading a horse behind it. You bent down, level with the ears. He looked back, didn't notice you. He walked on. The horse snorted from time to time. You could barely hear the tune of some song that the King was whistling under his breath.
1720. He has been ruling for 19 years already.

He's very aloof with strangers. He adheres to the rules quite strictly. He tries to keep up appearances in public. He works a lot.
