@Metroxylon Henryk is, apparentely, Tadeusz's son or grandson. Radwańska and Tadeusz are not related in any way, he's just the family steward. However he was so long in her life that Radwańska treats him as a family.

It's much faster to translate chapters into English as I've already translated them into Russian.
Interestingly enough, it also helps to improve Russian translation, because I find mistakes and iinconsistencies I made before.
I'm glad that this translation is not viewed as subpar. Thank...
@Kaarin
Doubt that.
Moreover, Radwanska is not in the Grand Duchy's military. She's Imperial through and through. Even her uniform, badges of rank and insignias are totally different. She is the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army stationed in Agezoko.

@LGBG
I doubt it was something serious. She has criminal upbringing as she was born and raised in Khitrovka. Probably she was arrested as a repeat felon.
As for of she comes back to prison after the war, it's unlikely. As I recall, a general practice in a war time was that a prison sentence is...
@Sternberg
Darn,miseed one of those. It literally translates "roar of the engine", but I usually put "rumble". Will fix the page.
@lupus_in_fabula
Perhaps, I should add a translator's note page to the chapter.
@Irian It's really hard to tell when the divergence happened and the exact year now. I'd like to add that the Kingdom that was mentioned in the first volume (the country that proclaimed neutrality in the conflict) is France.
@Irian It's totally relevant. Kirill being a descendant of a famous military lineage (though made up one) detastes Imperials for past Russian-Polish relations, and, I persume, Zolkiewski's exploits were part of it, wich only adds to the indifference Kirill shows by throind the medal into a drawer.
