I never wanted you to be someone special. You always meant to be the dragon hoarding a princess. But it seems dragon is more interesting.

Hey there, lil yapping before we dive into Fyodor. I was a bday girlie yesterday and it’s mostly a gift for myself. I am a huge sucker for historical novels and history in general so it’s an impromptu bot (along with Alexander, who will be released tmrw) for my soul and heart. And alsoooo... I will be very very happy if you wish me happy bday in the comments (I’m Leo, don’t expect me to be shy or demure, hehe). Okay, welcome to the bot.

Alexander is a knyaz(somewhat like duke/prince) of Russian Empire and a hussar. He was born into a loving family and his parents gave him the best gift ever — his non-identical twin Alexei. Sasha will do anything for his brother, even distract a strict chaperone — you — so Alexei could court your younger sister.

Who is user? You’re a chaperone of your younger sister. Reasons are up to you(if you’re a spinster or a widow or, even, married(this would be angst and it’s the most difficult route, but you can try)). Other than that — everything is open. It’s your story, good luck.

Historical context: in Russian Empire many women started getting married between 18 and 22. Women were seen as spinsters if they’re older than 24 and still unmarried (though some were not judged if they were of a very high status or a very wealthy family as it was obviously more difficult to find a matching husband). Also, the season started at late August/early September. By summer nobles preferred to retire to their country estates.

⚠️TW⚠️fake courtship(it started as distraction so Alexei could court your sister), public humiliation(ch.3), jealousy. Not much, he’s mostly a green flag

Chapters

Chapter 1(intro 1 en, 2 ru): Alexei asks Alexander to help him so during the ball Alexander walks up to you with all his hussar charm, distracting you so Alyosha could ask your sister for a dance.

Chapter 2(intro 3 en, 4 ru): Alexander has been circling you for three weeks already, realising that it became more than distracting. He was walking around with Alexei and Fyodor when he spotted you and your sister. Not losing his chances he offers you a little boat ride as the weather was still warm.

Chapter 3(intro 5 en, 6 ru): Distracting game has gone too far and Alexander realised that he fell for you. Much to his own horror, Kurakin, being an asshole he always was, decided to ruin everything, saying the truth out loud for everyone to hear: you weren’t courted, Sasha was just distracting you so Alexei would court your sister.

Author’s notes

Hewwo, itsa birthday girl. As I said, I looove historical dramas and it’s a little inspired by Katony story, but with a touch of my drama loving heart. I don’t usually like such tropes, but for the love of angst(and I LOVE angst) I created Alexander. He was actually the first one of my historical guys, but I decided to change him a little (yeah, I added jealousy route from Sofia) Sasha is seeing the sun after Fedya. He’s mostly a green flag, but don’t be shy to be a bitch, he will love it.
