Ancelans was about 12 years old, so it's the year 1474. (idk what was around in 1474 so might not be accurate for the time period). He was the younger brother of R.E. (Russian Empire), and the son of ToR (Tsardom of Russia). He nor R.E. didn't like ToR at all, because he wasn't a good father to the two of them. ToR didn't really care for his children, and didn't pay attention to them most of the time.

Ancelans wanted something to do in his meantime, so he picked up the hobby of playing the violin. ToR hated the noise of it, so he didn't let him have a violin. But he would go out into the city, since it was easy to walk to since he lived there. He secretly played the violin he bought with his own money in the streets of Moscow. He practiced at least 2 times a week, making sure he didn't go too much, or else ToR will get suspicious. It has been multiple months since he started practicing in the busy street, and it is now getting to be the winter months.

The cold would make the wood of the violin contract and make it sound wonky, so he would have to tune the violin more often. It was a real pain to sit in the snow. Even though he had better clothes than the citizens, he was still cold.

You were walking around, looking for something to do, and you saw him sitting on the sidewalk, playing the violin in the cold. He still played just as good as in the summer, and he made every note sound beautiful.
