«We saw each other recently.»
«You’re the first cavalier, who is tired of me.»
«Perhaps not the last.»
«Do not be rude!»
«Sorry, but you are extremely intrusive,» quite like a darkness, which is lipped to everything and takes the monstrous outlines for her back.
«Do not forget that I am a lady. The code of knights and elves do not allow cautiousness with the lady, even if the monstrous.»
An annoying one! And then he would immediately put her out. Maybe you should change the code? But it will affect and gentle ladies, such as Amaranta. There is a society once in relation to someone, and the elves will take care of all in a row. The love of his subjects to pranks is strong. Sometimes he barely restrains them. Although it is worth it to restrain? Is it not better to declare agaist Medei Shai war than regularly playing her cavalier and tolerate rumors about the wedding and that he himself the king of elves in the end will be under her heel, because she is an incomparable beauty, and he’s only a man. It can break and depict indifference how much will fit. And all the magic society is already confident that he will dry by the queen of fairies.
«You think about her!» Medea Shai sniffed to the air as if the thought of the interlocutor could have improving the fragrance of treason. «About the man’s wife! Do you think she is better than me?»
It is urgent to come up with an excuse, but Dagda is tired of playing these games. Pulled to tell the truth. Instead, he flashed the first thing that came to mind.
«She is less demanding than you. It is easier to make her happy. Do not have to keep the army of monsters with her so that she felt like a queen.»
«And she is very similar to angels and cloud fairies. You always fell weakness to them. It is a pity that earth girls are very prolific. You can have many monsters from her. Even if she lives only one human life, the black army of her bastards arise near the seven hills, which will certainly want to beat off your power and rule themselves. Bastards of people from elves are extremely ambitious.
«Nothing! In addition to the seven hills, there are still green hills, and inside each of them can be established on a separate kingdom for each of the descendants.»
|Yes, the palace inside every hill will fit, the royal retinue is enough for everyone, the squads from the elves too. But what if your sons from Amarants will be greedy?»
«And if this is her daughters?»
«Monstrous ladies with horns and hooves that will want to rape the pretty elves.»
«Remember, it did not reach violence when your monsters seduced my elves and lured to themselves. Take at least Thierry and his warriors. Roddy weapons, love from your creatures, he sought, and not the opposite.»
– I agree, there are unattractive ladies, gifted by force to choose the most beautiful elves and mortal men. But I could not take me to the number of unattractive ladies.
«But you also got born monster from the mortals that you kept in captivity. Do not remember?»
«I don’t even know these children from other warriors in my army. But in your sunny country, the monsters will be too in the public eye. The last of them you personally killed so that he does not confuse other people with his appearance.»
«He was not my son.»
«But was the best friend. Almost half: brother, comrades, lover.»
«Only not a lover. I prefer women.»
«And I prefer men. Unlike most of the magic rulers who went into oblivion.
She is seductive. Black darkness, magic couples emanating from her – solid temptation. He circled his head, but his thoughts on Amaranta scattered him.
Dagda found the strength to throw off the hands of the queen of fairies from the shoulders. Her hands have already begun to let black roots in his coat. Of the graceful claws of Medea Shai such a nasty thing grew. And it still can not be called a monster? She could turn into the bloodthirsty black tree, which is staggering travelers with dry roots, or into a giant black flower, drinking blood – a lungwort. Because of the often transformations in the last nickname, the Lungwort got to her.
The prefix to her name was already hinting that the queen comes from the genus of hellish creatures, once formed in black deserts of the Kingdom with such a name. In the fortresses of Shai, whole armies disappeared. The kingdom of black deserts delayed human troops and caravans like a monster.
«What do you want from me?» Dagda asked directly.
«Combining two great states: Dark and Light. For absolute strength, I need day and night. And elves, and fairies. And monsters, and excellent creatures. I want to become the queen of the universe.»
«Then the king you no longer need.»
«But Amaranta will not get him.»
It has already resembled a threat.
Dagda also wanted to answer something sharp, but Medea Shai seems to finally realized that he was not happy about her here. In the place where she stood, now was only a black smoke pillar.
Friends from fire
Spark played with Amaranta in chess, burning the figures.
«Well, enough,» she said, noticing how after the rook and the queen was covered with something burnibg in his fingers. «So you will burn all the figures. And this board is dear to me. It is a gift from Shah, who was with the Embassy Mission at the court of Aluar.
«He wanted to marry you?»
«Yes,» she answered.
«Like the king of Aluar?»
«Right!»
Amaranta frowned. Where does Spark know so much? Really the fiery elf flew over the sea to spy behind her.
«So why did you refuse? Is there a queen worse than a provincial countess?»
«You’re very arrogant!»
«It’s a compliment?»
She was embarrassed.
«In my company to be brazen it means to be the main one. Therefore, I am a leader. Thank you for praising me, the most beautiful!»
He wanted to kiss her hand, but Amaranta was already reassigned and so burned his breathing palm.
It was not too nice to be friends with a fiery elf. He could burn in any moment. In addition, Spark was not restrained with the tongue, and demanded without the end the details of her personal life.
«Why were you still not expelled from the castle?«said Amaranta.
«Can you drive away the fire from the hearth?» her opponent smiled disarmingly.
«Can! But without fire it will be difficult to survive in winter, cook food and light the evening room for guests.»
