CHAPTER

The Toughest Romanof in Nineten O Five

Nikolasha is one of the few romanofs who actually dresses up like he's not a complete idiot when it comes to military matters. The czar brings him in close to the family in the 19 o five uprisings, because he thinks he might need to make his cousin dictator. He wanted to be a mediaeval knight, he kept a court of dwarfs around him, i think, because he read that in a mediaeval story book at some point and decided it sounded cool.
