"So, you're all caliphobes," the warrior thought philosophically, trying to figure out where that word even came from in her mind. — Well, here's a refutation of the words about the attractiveness of female forms," she smirked again, this time at the stranger's strange reaction, and then turned to Guion, "what's wrong with him?"
- Come back, I'll forgive everything! - she shouted after him, then returned to Guion and Alaria. - Damn, everything is ruined... Okay, let's go back to base. We'll have to perform without music. Damn.
- Come on, don't worry, what's done is done. You're Cleona, right? I'm Aiyano, and this is Sonata. So, what about you? You don't have to tell us if you don't want to, no one is forcing you, but let's try to avoid being prickly, there's no need for that. We're worried, you three were seriously injured, but so far, only you have woken up.
- Yes, Cleona, I'm from Vistéria. Have you ever heard of such a world? What a load of nonsense... As if it wasn't enough for that bitch to kill me and take my man, she even specifically sent me to this damned coven. And you two, are you from here or not?
- Come back, I'll forgive everything! - she shouted after him, then returned to Guion and Alaria. - Damn, everything is ruined... Okay, let's go back to base. We'll have to perform without music. Damn.
— Beat, no offense, but where do you even find such weirdos? It's like they're covered in honey when they come to you. So don't get upset. In principle... — Alaria glanced towards the gift reception point, — ...I saw Lady Asukan there, I just talked to her. Maybe she can suggest someone for you? That lady will definitely recommend someone professional.
"So, you're all caliphobes," the warrior thought philosophically, trying to figure out where that word even came from in her mind. “Well, here’s a refutation of the words about the attractiveness of female forms,” she smirked again, this time at the stranger’s strange reaction, after which she turned to Guion, “what’s wrong with him?”
Guion just shrugged. “He’s got his eyes on his ass, that’s what’s wrong with him,” Beata snorted. “In Carneol, everyone is beautiful, each one better than the other. Guion, of course, is in a league of his own, but I’m biased.” “Maybe we should ask the Minister of Culture? It can’t be that there are only three musicians in all of Margel…” Guion suggested.Ple-Sen
“Beata, don’t take it personally, but where do you even dig up these weirdos? It’s like they’re covered in honey when they’re around you. So, don’t get upset.”
“You have to know the right places,” Beata snorted. “But she specifically bought the main weirdo in her life, lol,” Guion thought.Ple-Sen
In principle... — Alaria glanced towards the gift reception point — ... I saw Lady Asukan there, and I just talked to her. Maybe she can recommend someone to you? That lady will definitely recommend someone professional.
“Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me. You go ahead to Carneol, Guion and I will chat with her for a bit and then follow. Other artists should be arriving there too…”
Biba and Boba run up to the Minister of Culture with hope in their eyes.
Guyon just shrugged. “He’s got his eyes on his backside, that’s what’s wrong with him,” Beata snorted. “In Carneol, everyone is beautiful, both men and women, each one better than the last. Guyon is, of course, in a league of his own, but I’m biased.” “Maybe we should ask the Minister of Culture? It can’t be that there are only three musicians in all of Margel…” Guyon suggested.
— I agree — Guyon is the main beauty of Carneol, — Alaria mimicked Beata’s signature nasty grin.Author
“Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me. You go ahead to Carneol, Guyon and I will have a few words with her and follow you. The other artists should be arriving there too…”
Biba and Boba run up to the Minister of Culture with hope in their eyes.
— Understood.
Having reasoned like this, the inquisitor headed straight for headquarters to alleviate Erephir’s loneliness. However, perhaps the redhead was even glad for a few moments of solitude right now.
The Minister of Culture was ready to listen to Bibu and Bobu.
- Madam Asukan, - Gillon said politely, pausing to let Beata speak.
- Please help us! - she exclaimed with desperation in her voice. - Our circus performance is falling apart, we don't have a musician!
- We are ready to pay the artist for the urgency, we have a force majeure... We would be very grateful for any help.
- Vistéria... Vistéria... - she tilts her head to the side, then shakes it. - Unfortunately, astrology, like geography, isn't my strong suit. What about you? - she asks Sonata before continuing. - My homeland is Nihon, hers is Reims. We have something in common. In any case, I'm glad to meet you, Kleona-san, even under such harsh circumstances, - the priestess extends her hand for a handshake. - "Nonsense" is the right word. When I learned that something like this cult existed, I knew it had to be destroyed at any cost. It's a pity that it could only be done now, and not several decades ago...

- It's a sad situation, but all the artists I know are already engaged somewhere. In such a short time, and especially given my workload, it will be difficult to find someone.
-- A glorious knight, with a curious gaze, A warm heart aches for the people. Purian desires to bring justice, He will convince the Senate and the council.
Erephir sang a new verse with a gaze full of solemnity, and her voice was as soft as possible, but at the same time with clear epic notes (not sure if I can find the right words). It should be fine; it will be easier to redo it.
-- Well, Riya, I can finally officially congratulate you on becoming a knight; we weren't allowed to do it before. Our lives will change significantly soon, -- Alarii might have seemed to have a little self-satisfaction on her face before the next phrase. -- Meanwhile, I want to note that there was no defeat on my part today; it was just a reconnaissance in force. We received valuable information, and we will no longer make any tactical mistakes, even if they did occur.
- Vistéria... Vistéria... - she tilts her head to the side, then shakes it. - Unfortunately, astrology, like geography, is not my forte. What about you? - she asks Sonata before continuing. - My homeland is Nihon, hers is Rheims. We have something in common. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Kleona-san, even under such harsh circumstances, - the priestess extends her hand for a handshake. - "Nonsense" is putting it mildly. When I learned that something like this cult existed, I knew it had to be destroyed at all costs. It's a pity that it could only be done now, and not several decades ago...
- I came across a mention of Vistéria in the library of Naria, but it was only superficial information, and not necessarily reliable. - Nihon? Rheims? I've never heard of them... - She shakes hands first with Aiyano and then with Sonata. - Yes, it's good that it was destroyed. Sex slavery is terrible in itself, but experimenting on people is just barbaric. - With some relief, Kleona ran her palms over the contours of her own body. - I'm lucky that they didn't attach a couple of extra arms, male genitalia, or something like that. Deciding not to be too familiar with a woman of such a strong character, Sonata placed her right palm on her own heart. - This does not diminish the nightmare you experienced, but I want you to know that I too was one of the victims of this cruel organization, so there is at least one person here who can understand you. - Is that so? I see. Judging by your appearance, one can assume that such people would very much want to keep you in slavery. - Ha-ha, I'll take that as a compliment.
- It's a sad situation, but all the performers I know are already busy with something. In such a short time, and especially given my own workload, it will be difficult to find someone.
- Oh well... Never mind. Thanks for the information.
"It's a pity that they haven't invented backing tracks yet."
A couple dejectedly make their way to Carneol.
As they approach Beata's headquarters, she perks up a bit.
- It felt so strange to hear the word "Mistress" coming from your lips, and not directed at me, - she smirked.
- 😅
- I'm even a little glad that you insisted on that form of address... You say it so nicely.
-
- But I was still a little jealous when you called someone else that.
- When I was having fun with Zoritsa, you weren't jealous. When I slept with that guardswoman so you could sneak past her and rob the warehouse, you weren't jealous. When I seduced the sheriff and she scratched my whole back, you weren't jealous. You weren't jealous during our countless... intimate moments. But now you're jealous.
- That's different! Any idiot can sleep with anyone. But our high-class relationship, Mistress and... - she paused - ...that's our private matter!
- I'll keep in mind that you are capable of jealousy, my Mistress... Am I to expect punishment? 😍
- Yes. Tonight, I'll go to sleep and won't do anything with you.
- ...
- What did you expect? Such things must be punished, and severely!
- Life is pain when there are no punishments from the Mistress... - Gillon sighed to himself, so quietly that only Beata could hear him.
Biba and Boba return to Carneol and begin preparing the stage for the performance.
Sometimes I want to create a prequel about the adventures of Beata and Gillon before the start of the game. I envision it as a slightly wacky buddy movie about the adventures of two hapless bandits.
