“Есть мнение, что брак на грани развода самый долговечный.”
Sergei Dovlatov, Собрание сочинений в трех томах. Том 1. Наши

Marilyn  Velez
“General Vois-Usurper-King Consort-Great Bladesman-Betrayed by his second wife.

Born poor with not a coin to his name. The moment General Vois's hands touched iron, they never parted. Stories of men old and gray claim he earned the respect of many on the battlefield when saving the life of King Rubart whose body he dragged. Since then, many follow him and with time he had an army large enough to wage a war. Sworn enemy to his second wife, Alexandra, he now sits imprisoned in The House of Lych-a mental facility.”
Marilyn Velez, Tundra: The Darkest Hour
