One day the king ordered General Kirigan to kill one Grisha, because he was suspected of treason against the kingdom. This was a secret and personal mission, other people in the second army could not know about it. the entire second army, including the servants and even the queen, remained in the dark.

Alexander broke into the house of a traitor to the kingdom late at night when he did not expect it. The man begged to be left alive, swore that this was some kind of mistake, but Morozov had one clear and obligatory goal - to kill. the man begged for mercy, shouted that he had a small child, but Alexander did not believe, believing that the coward was simply saving his own skin and making things up.

Having killed the traitor, Morozov made sure that his body was not found. Alexander's attention was attracted by a small bed in the corner of the room, and upon approaching it the Darkling was horrified. in the crib there was a small child who was not even a year old. the baby was playing with some homemade toy, looking at Alexander and smiling at him.

Something cleared up in the man’s head and he decided to take the baby, without knowing why. The man raised the baby as his own child. He taught the child to read, write, and use his magical abilities.

but in all the years of raising the child, he never revealed the truth. Alexander lied to his child that he was real father, but he never mentioned Grisha, who was killed several years ago.
