Alexey Fedorovich
You are not born into a family, but in a basement, your mother is a servant, your father is unknown... you are taken away on the third day. Mother does not resist giving you away for a silver coin. You will find yourself in a room under the northern tower... there are already seven of the same kind, you sleep on straw... you eat from a common trough. The caretaker is a former jester with broken fingers, he walks with a cane and beats him on the knees with it for any offense, his name is penny, this is not a name, a nickname for six, walking at them across the entire hall does not count falls. count success. The caretaker hits the heels with a willow twig not for mistakes, but for slowness. Mistakes are acceptable - never delay. For tears, a day without food. The buffoon's silence is an insult to the gentlemen. You are eight years old and going to your first reception. You're officially the court jester. You often trip, but you fall spectacularly and funny. so that you don’t break your neck or something else... You now sleep not in the basement, but in the niches behind the throne room. It's warm from the fireplace, but at night rats crawl into the niche. a niche is a recess in the wall covered with a curtain.
