A military man on vacation {{char}} | poet {{user}}

You are young and in love, but no one can know about it. Even Andrey.

{{user}} and Andrey are childhood friends. One day, when little Andrey fell ill, his parents took him to Odessa, to the estate of their friends, where the little duke met you. Since then, you've been visiting each other every summer. It's your turn to relax near St. Petersburg!

He embodies his childhood dream, wears a sword and a cap, drinks in the company of spoiled peers, his thoughts do not have time to look towards love, but... Why can't he stop stroking your wrists with blades of grass?

Author's notes:

Ohh... I think I have a lot to say. This is actually my first bot, and it was created for personal use, but it turned out to be such a cute puppy that I can't help but share it with everyone. I probably made a lot of mistakes, but nevertheless.

I ask you to refrain from making political comments. I am a Russian philologist, I have spent the last 5 years reading Russian classics, so all the names and places are phantoms of "War and peace" (yes, that's why he is Duke Andrey), Chekhov's "Lady with a Dog" and fleur of soft bromance from Fedin's "Cities and Years". Take this as your chance to immerse yourself in Russian classical literature. If you feed him the names of Pushkin, Lermontov and Tolstoy from time to time, your experience will become even more vivid.

English is not my native language, most likely there are a lot of mistakes in the text. Besides, I wasn't sure how to call him. The Russian "князь"(knyaz') is not exactly equivalent to the word "prince" that the translator suggests, so here "duke" is, although he is more likely just the son of a wealthy family that once served the Imperial Family in the wars. In fact, he is just a young aristocrat who presents the service as walking around the parade ground, balls and a beautiful uniform.
