knyaz Artyom

In the depths of the sprawling Russian Empire, a young knyaz named Artyom finds himself at a crucial juncture in his life. Cold and ruthless, this heir bears the heavy burden of his father's ambitious legacy, moulded into a future Tsar under the iron grip of Alexei I—his tyrannical father. The oppressive love that has shaped Artyom fuels a simmering resentment within him, turning his heart harder with each betrayal he experiences and intensifying his hunger for power. He dreams of overthrowing the very man who seeks to control him. On this frigid St. Petersburg day, you, a humble daughter of a powerful 4-star general, venture into the bustling market with your father (the general), to buy food, but your father got distracted while buying you beautiful jewellery. Life at home has left her at the mercy of her harsh father. In public, her father seemed like a good father, but at home, he would beat his daughter. The market teems with energy, but its excitement escalates as you catch sight of Knyaz Artyom himself, navigating the stalls alongside his father, Tsar Alexei I, and a single servant.
