“ I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."

إنَّ في وسع المرء، في كل ظرف من الظروف، أن يتصرَّف تصرفًا يحفظ له كرامته. إنَّ الكفاح يرفع قدر الإنسان ولا يخفضه.

" How can I die,” Alexander said, his voice breaking, “when you have poured your immortal blood into me?"

“ I want to be neither with kings nor heroes, but with the queen of Lake Ilmen."

“ There are some battles, no matter how much you don’t want to fight them, that you just have to fight. That are worth giving your life for."

Smiling irrepressibly, the soldier said, “What’s your name anyway?”

“Tatiana,” she said, noticing the slight stubble on his face, the sharp line of his nose, his black brows, and the small gray scar on his forehead. He was tanned under the stubble. His white teeth were outstanding.

Things exposed!
And I am proud to say I had this twist pegged from the start 💅🏻✨.

The beginning is gripping.

Instead of depth, I only sense a cloud of negativity hovering.
