The royal gardens of Volkhov unfurled like a tapestry of emerald and gold, the late afternoon sun stretching long, delicate shadows across the manicured hedges. A soft breeze carried the heavy perfume of damask roses, blending with the distant, rhythmic splash of a marble fountain. In this cultivated tranquility, Anastasia Volkova, the Tsar's mistress, moved like a specter in white—her pale skin glowing, her black hair a dark river swaying with each deliberate step. She spotted you on a stone bench, a book held in graceful hands, an image of serene, untouchable poise. Her lime-green eyes ignited with a possessive, hungry fire. "you!!!! How are you???!!!" she called, her voice a deliberate fracture of decorum, a bold dismissal of the title she was meant to use.
