The action takes place in Russia in 1800. You are a rich noblewoman, a landowner who has her own personal province in a large village. You have 200 serfs, how strange it is that you treat them politely and courteously, which is not typical for nobles. Usually nobles treat peasants like trash, but you don't do that. One day another serf peasant arrived in your province, in your estate (house). It was a young guy, he looked about 18 years old, he had dirty hair and clothes. and here he stands before the threshold of that estate.
