His bride. I well remember the scandal in the press and the weeping, God forbid, strange moonshine, which was posted on almost every news page in Sotsialka. With all my dislike for Koryaga and my sincere wishes that he itch in all places, even he did not deserve to be the groom of this… how to put it mildly…

Okay, who am I to judge?

And that’s not what we’re talking about now.

– Then explain to me, Mr. Future Senator, why my reputation should suffer because of your problems with women! – I get up, walk to the door and closed it tightly from the inside so that none of the kids can not overhear our conversation. I’m so wound up, I might miss a few strong words. – I don’t want my name mentioned next to yours in the context of such… vile things!

– Well, vile things,” he said. – Shall we agree on a little nastiness?

I stop, suddenly realizing that while this situation is literally tearing me up inside, the damn moonshiner seems to be happy about what’s happened.

And this suspicion makes me remember with renewed vigor who I’m dealing with – the moonshiner. One of those heartless types who think they can do anything just because they once emerged from the shadow of the moon a few hundred years ago and called themselves the chosen ones. And because to them we owe all the advanced technology of our time. And in return, they took all the power for themselves, imposed their own orders, proclaimed themselves the chosen caste, and designated us common people as second-rate.
