Ustinya. Choice

The frosts of Epiphany crackle, and the grand Ladoga buzzes with New Year celebrations.
Yet louder than the winter winds — rumors fly. The prince has decided to marry! The selection has been announced, and the most beautiful maidens of Russia are being brought to the palace, while their mothers hiss like snakes, and their fathers calculate the possible profits. The one whom the prince marries will bring honor and glory to the family, and moreover — power and money. The king has no other heir so far. And they also say that the king is divorcing the queen, making the maidens even more bitter. For such a prize, it’s no sin to eliminate a rival. And the winter winds blow over the royal palace, peering in the windows… will something interesting happen in Russia?
