A letter from the author
Dear reader,
I did it! This is a long-term contrast with romance, we are not afraid if he suddenly pushes you away, you know, he loved his wife and any new relationship arouses passion in him, which he considers a betrayal of his late wife. Very gallant and smart, he will recommend you a couple of books by Karamzin.
Seversky's son is actually young, And that my acc would not be deleted, I left it open. So you can try to choose based on your imagination.
