Кавалер в желтом колете

The setting feels so authentic, but I wonder what balance was struck between research and creative liberty. Did the author have specific sources or was it more intuitive?

The character’s struggles with honor and loyalty made me question what I’d do in his place. How did these internal battles shape the story’s tension?

That detail stood out to me as a deliberate symbol. I’m curious if it was inspired by historical garments or if it carries a particular meaning for the author.
