On the trail of the wolf 52
“Yes, of course, Lord Rice.- Just call me Maximilian, - the man smiled friendly, throwing away conventions."Lord Rice," ignoring his suggestion, I removed the polite smile from my face. I have no idea why a magician of his level is trying to win me over, but letting him get close is not in my plans. In them, apart from a short, I hope, conversation, nothing at all is included! “I am listening to you carefully.The magician smiled knowingly and took a pipe from the inside pocket of his jacket. Without asking my permission, he slowly stuffed it with tobacco and started smoking. A typical aristocrat, you will not say anything. There was no point in resenting it out loud, I could only hope that the polite expression on my face had not disappeared.- You have an impeccable reputation, Amalia, - when my patience was almost running out, the magician broke the silence. - In the five years of your stay here, you have not had a single broken order or dissatisfied client.I am silent. Client i

Unable to restrain myself, I whistled. Still would! Marriage marks are a direct blessing of the Gods who approved this union. This is actually a wedding, only in a magical way. True, I don’t quite understand why the kids suddenly decided to take an oath of eternal fidelity to each other. Terrible! In adults, after such oaths, marks on their hands rarely appeared, but here there are still children!It suddenly became unbearably sorry for the magician's son. I didn’t really have time to fall in love with my bride, as she died. And death does not cancel the heard oath of allegiance. Now, until the end of his days, he will live with longing for this girl, not paying attention to all the female representatives. Alone all my life. No family, no children. No, women can be present in his life, but only for the sake of satisfying needs, nothing more. And without an emotional attachment from a magician, it is impossible to get pregnant. Sorry guy.I see you know very well what that means. Stran

“Go on,” I nodded graciously, secretly glad that he was wrong in almost everything.Amalia - he's right, not my real name. Rather, this is my second name, given to me much later than my birth. It's a paradox, but with his long-dead, failed daughter-in-law, we are namesakes. But he will not get this information from me even under torture!I have the genus name, but it is too well known for me to use it. Mom looks at this rather skeptically, however, like grandfather, but dad supports my desire to achieve everything myself, and not in the name of my family! It seems to everyone that it's good when all the doors open before you, you just have to introduce yourself - but it's not. No one thinks that as a person they no longer look at you! They look at it as money, as an opportunity, as a way to achieve something, but no one cares deeply about what kind of person you are. No one is interested in what you yourself are capable of, not your family connections. Therefore, it is easier for me t
On the trail of the wolf 55
Wolves are caught not by a race, but by a trick,or retribution for recklessness.I quickly found myself next to Akulina, this time the transfer went without surprises. Except for the insane weakness that washed over me in a sharp wave, along with an attack of nausea.- Hi! - Having thrust papers from the king directly into Lina's hands, I lay down on the grass next to her, trying to come to my senses. - No food, read! But fast!- What is it?“I have no idea, they are clean for me, the king specially wrote for you,” closing my eyes, I muttered in response, trying to even out my breathing. - Well, your family drove me today!- Our family? - the princess was surprised and rustled the papers, obviously starting to read the contents of the instructions.While she was silent in concentration, I felt a little better. I was even able to feel a connection with the she-wolf, albeit a little weak. It was as if someone had erected an invisible concrete wall between us. Pleasant little, but I hop

- Yes, - after overeating and blissfully leaning back in her chair, Lina said decisively. - He doesn't have it. Threw it away, can you imagine?- Not reading! - I added to her story, destroying the cakes brought to us.Svyatoslav tiredly covered his eyes with his hand, uttering to himself, it seems to me, a few selective curses.- Tsar Svyatoslav, - interrupting the silence that reigned in the hall, a stately man in dark red robes entered us with a bow. - Tsar Belogor has come to you and asks for an immediate audience.“Vasilesk, take Akulina away immediately,” the king ordered in a whisper, getting up, showing Sasha to follow him with his hand.Akulina was unable to orientate herself in what was happening, as she was taken by the hand by her husband and quickly led out of the hall. As soon as they got out, the snake completely grabbed the princess in his arms, despite her protesting cries.Putting aside the last cake, I quickly caught up with them. The snake's brother and his wife al

I fell like a wolf into a sheepfold,or reckless actions and their consequences.The territory of the former community of Stanislav and Vladimir.Arthur stood with his back to the bed, where with each new hoarse breath life left his father's body. Father? The man smiled bitterly. Rather, a leader, because as a real father, Arseny never showed himself. Maybe that's why his heir did not feel any emotions suitable for such a situation right now. No pain, no suffering, no desire to prevent the light tread of Mara, the Goddess of death, who is about to come to take the soul of a man. Nothing. When my mother died, everything was different. She and her sister did not leave her bed, praying to all existing Gods and spirits, asking them to delay the inevitable. Now it wasn't like that.Arthur was tormented only by the expectation. After all, as soon as Arseniy dies, he will need to go out to the wolfdogs of the community and declare his rights as the leader of the pack.- Arthur? - Quietly ope

- Vasilisa? - having caught the edge of the idea that was not formed to the end, I decided to voice it. - Belogor asks the princess to fulfill the contract - give him Vasilisa.I tried not to pay attention to Sasha's emotions now - too much was mixed there now. He clearly did not like the idea, but what can you do! But the king looked at me intently, considering this option, and I focused all my attention on him.“She’s not really,” Svyatoslav drawled thoughtfully."Not really - that doesn't mean she's not quite a princess," I shrugged. - Is she a princess?“By birthright,” the king nodded, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully.- Svyatoslav ... - Sasha tried to speak out, but was interrupted by the raised hand of his grandfather.- Belogor asks the princess, - I continued, with the approval of Svyatoslav, - so give him the princess. He does not specify which one, but only hints and threatens. Belogor simply does not know that Vasilisa also exists. It will not be difficult for you to get he
On the trail of the wolf 59
While I was trying to figure out what was going on, and who was behind all this, I was dragged out into the street and stuffed into the trunk! Me! Having previously tied my legs, probably so that she wouldn’t smash everything in the trunk itself. No, I will not tolerate such an attitude towards myself! I... What am I?! Fuck, I'm almost like a normal person now! I can not help but spread, do not take advantage of instincts! Obscurantism! I can't even call Mitrich for help! Escape to the underworld? You can, of course, if there is no other way to commit suicide! Obscurantism!!!I don’t know how much time passed, according to my feelings, about an hour, when the car stopped, and a few minutes later the sound of the trunk opening was heard. No one bothered to remove the bag from my head, just as no one untied my arms or legs. They just pulled me out and dragged me on. I couldn't even figure out exactly where I was. Someone was running around, shouting somewhere, like fires were burning, j
