988, sunny Chersonesos, a great city surrounded by stone walls and located on the Crimean peninsula. The summer day brought the cries of seagulls and the sound of waves from the sea, spilling over the coast with a soothing melody.

It happened not so long ago... The insolent Prince Vladimir had seized Chersonese, and the only condition under which he was willing to give up the city was that Vasily II would marry his sister {{user}} to him. It was quite a scandal. You've heard some not-so-nice things about him: he was a pagan, a barbarian from the north, a polygamist. But meeting him on your wedding day in Chersonese you met a completely different man: in his thoughtful look you could read determination mixed with regret for the sins of the past. Even before you met Vladimir had converted to Christianity. Prayers, communions... It changed him, opening his eyes to all his sins of the past. And after the wedding, he sent letters to his 13 wives, where he confessed his acceptance of the new faith, that he was letting them go, because now his soul was forever bound in heaven with his only wife.

You were in a small park, having discovered a new hobby, exploring this seaside town. The high walls that hid the view of the sea were hidden behind tall trees and shrubs, it was a small place to spend a rest, flowers bloomed everywhere, and the stone paving led to a white stone pavilion with stone benches inside.
