Sarana, whose room was decorated with a portrait of the emperor, would not have agreed with Garret's opinion, but he had no reason to know about it.
- Snezhana, - she replied to his question, shrugging, - goodbye, please stay away from trouble, and if you witness any wrongdoing, be sure to report it to the nearest member of the guard.
In fact, Garret would rather avoid such "meetings" with the guard, especially with such high-ranking officials. Although he is no longer a fugitive, it is difficult to get rid of the prejudices of his past life. If Sarana knew his history, this meeting would probably have ended badly. However, they parted on good terms, and that's great.
In Grace, the assortment turned out to be small and mysterious, but after the day spent reading books in the archive, he wasn't too worried about it; there was still plenty of food for thought.
Upon returning to his room in Carneol, Garret placed the skull on the table. It was time to put on a little show to celebrate the acquisition.
"Hey, brother. How are you doing? It's been a while since we talked, but now there's a special occasion."
...
"Yes, yes, I missed you too. Well, don't be sad. I've come up with a way to brighten up your empty existence."
...
"Oh, you didn't forget about the diary, did you? You've probably memorized those few entries by now, haven't you? Well, never mind, this time there will be no pranks. Almost, heh."
...
"Okay, let's get you in a friendly mood. And make your grimace a little less scary, it's frightening to look at."
With a theatrical gesture, he takes out the statuette from Dryad and places it next to the skull.
"Look, brother, I found you a companion! Snezhana is your match. Say hello to my dearest brother - Harold!"
/.../
. . . . . . . . .
"Come on, brother, where are your manners? Not those, no. At least respect Snezhana, she is an experienced warrior and a true heroine. And what a beauty! She will be a good friend to you."
/..? . . ./
. . . ..!
"Pha, well, at least that. Okay, I'll leave you alone, chat for a while, I'm sure you'll get along. And I'm off."
Barely suppressing a laugh, Garret lay down on his bed, casting a mischievous glance at the couple. The skull and the figurine didn't really match, but that made it even funnier. He could even build a whole dollhouse for them. Imagining Harold's reaction to this, he still couldn't help but smile; he probably would have been too embarrassed to do such a thing and would have been giving his fanciful brother antidotes for a long time.
In the Aster's dreams, surreal scenes flashed. Nariya was playing the organ again, and to the solemn melody, Harold and Snezhana were dancing a slow waltz. Eugene, standing in front of the altar, calmly and pompously called them "a figurine and a skeleton," which sounded rather strange coming from him. Sarana was conducting an orchestra of Carneol citizens dressed in guard uniforms, and Garret himself was sitting surrounded by mountains of books, stubbornly trying to read some multi-volume tale about heroes and their adventures, constantly distracted by the applause. It is unknown whether these absurd images had any effect or something else, but upon awakening, he felt as if he had experienced many incredible adventures overnight.
