Just when Mephodiy finally got a normal life—without magic and without serving in the Office of Darkness—he was thrown into trouble arranged by Praskovya, who was in love with him. Buslaev’s body itself remembered everything he was so mercilessly taught during trainings by Arey. The memory returned to Mephodiy—meaning it’s time to repay his debts, because Kvodnon’s powers are still with him, and Ligul won’t calm down until he takes them away by one method or another. Especially since soon there will be a Coronation, where Praskovya becomes the lawful ruler of Darkness and… a obedient puppet in the hands of the evil hunchback. All that’s left is to choose the way by which Buslaev will be deprived of his dark powers.
