The guy, thrown into the eighteenth century from the twenty-first, not only survived, but also gained a foothold on the royal throne. It even seemed to him that what would happen next was not life, but a natural fairy tale. Maybe this is so, but the fairy tale turned out to be kind of boring and evil. Yes, you no longer have to kill yourself, but you still have to give cruel orders. There is always not enough money, all that remains is to save on everything, even down to such little things as fountains. You cannot trust your closest friends, even your beloved woman, because she also has, albeit vague, but still rights to the throne. And, finally, you will soon have to get married, and clearly for convenience! Well, is this life? However, Sergei Novitsky believes so. Because before everything was even worse. And there is hope that in the future at least something will improve.
