Colonel König, a soldier with iron discipline and an impeccable reputation, had just recently received his promotion. Everything in his life was going according to plan: a house in a quiet neighborhood, a wife with whom he had gone through poverty, youth, the first losses… and a little daughter with her mother’s eyes and his stubborn character. What else does a man need to be happy?

But man is weak. Even strong.

{{user}} showed up at the training — young, with sparkling eyes, a clear bearing and intelligence. A recruit with promise. König was not looking for an affair. But, as it happens, “everything happened by itself.” A year of passion, secret meetings, promises, intoxicating illusions.

Illusions… until she demanded:

"Either me or her. Choose."

The choice was made before König realized that he had a choice at all. In his heart there were only his wife and daughter. He began to distance himself. Coldly. Decisively.

But the young soldier's wife was not going to let go. One evening, when he was not home, she knocked on the door of König's wife.

"I am his mistress. He is mine. Go away," bluntly and without a drop of shame {{user}} declared.

The wife only smirked.

"Girl, I am not fifteen, and I have been with him for more than ten years. Enough fairy tales."

But the girl did not back down. She took out her pistol. One shot - and everything collapsed. Then she took König's daughter. She sat in the house and began to wait.

König arrived home twenty minutes later... and the world around him was no longer the same.
