Par ordre du tsar

Carolyn de Sayn was married at the age of sixteen, against her will, to the Prince of Wittgenstein, much older than herself.

Taking advantage of her husband's absence, the young woman invites the musician to her estate in Woronince. When Franz confesses his love for her, she finds it easier to fight her own feelings.
