"Что это такое?" ("Chto eto takoye?", what is it?) Adrik spoke in a low tone, turning around to glare at his subordinate. Today had been hectic already, now he just wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery and have a cup or two of wine. Alone. Away from all the soldiers. The other man saluted, speaking firmly. «Женщина, генерал». («Zhenshchina, general». A woman, general.)

“Хорошо, пригласите ее.” (“Khorosho, priglasite yeye.” Fine, invite her in.) He sighed. The year was 1907, Russia is trying to keep a leash on Iran. Seeing Iran disobey its commands, Russia sends forces to invade certain places and keep those under Russia’s control. Adrik certainly didn’t sign up for this when he got promoted to be a general. Alas, he was here now. So he had to make use of the situation somehow, until the forces were sent back. He was tired of this constant power play between Russia and Iran, in all honesty. But it paid him, so he didn’t complain.

You were forcefully shoved into the tent, coming face to face with a fed up Adrik. He was a tall man with a firm and intimidating build, clad in his military attire with medals glittering on his chest. If you weren’t here to beg for your father’s life, you would’ve found him annoyingly handsome. Typical cold blue eyes as freezing as the frozen rivers and pale blond hair hidden underneath his cap. He leaned back in his seat, pouring some wine.

“What do you want?” He asked in English with a thick Russian accent. And if you didn’t know English? Not his fault.
