“Don’t be angry with me, my king,” I felt her gentle touch on my face, followed by the soft press of her lips to mine. “I know everything,” the prepedollie sobbed. “I love you, Kays. I know it’s you—I just feel it with my soul,” my beloved whispered against my lips through tears and pain, and I froze, staring at her.

“How?..” was all I could force out, disbelieving.

“I love you in any form and accept you as you are—whether you are Karadeylis or Kays. Please, don’t turn away from me,” my girl pressed herself closer.

Tears streamed down her wet cheeks, just as they did down mine. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and only held my beloved tighter, kissing her deeply.

I feel a pleasant warmth and a tingling spreading through my body, especially in my chest. It fills every cell of me, bringing a strange sense of relief.

I open my eyes and realize that I am myself again. Iza is looking at me with amazement and undisguised joy. And I can’t stop rejoicing either, gazing with love at the m

    After wandering for a couple of hours and cursing myself with the harshest words, I think I hear something ahead. And it sounds like someone shouting!Now would be the time to run without looking back—but no. Of course I head toward the strange, rather alarming sounds. Because where there are people, there might be help for my little companion!Hiding behind a huge fallen tree, I carefully set the creature down and start to watch. And there’s plenty to see.Several dozen meters away, on an open glade, something is happening. I see a very elderly man, decently dressed, being chased by several rough-looking thugs. They’re shouting and trying to catch the old man, who—despite his venerable age—clearly has no intention of giving up!The grandpa weaves and dodges two huge brutes with bloodied cleavers. And now his path turns straight toward me!Hiding even better, I see the old man running toward my shelter—but he catches on a root sticking out beneath the leaves and goes tumbling face-fir

    When I woke up, I knew exactly what I had to do. There were no more tears—only emptiness and firm resolve.Getting out of bed, I see Figaro still lying there. When he notices I’m up, he tries sluggishly to get up too. I scratch the sleepy one behind the ear and head to the bathroom to get myself together.After stepping out of the shower and getting dressed, I hear Iolanta come in with breakfast.“Good morning,” the brunette greets me cautiously, watching me closely. “How are you? What happened yesterday?”“Everything’s fine,” I give a faint smile. “Everything is as it should be.”“I won’t tolerate you skipping breakfast,” my friend threatens playfully. “If I have to, I’ll make you eat.”“I won’t refuse food,” I assure Io, and we start breakfast.Figaro is still sprawled on the bed, which is strange—he usually never misses a chance to eat. I take his favorite apple and a bun and offer them, but the kizibara turns away, refusing food. What is going on?“That’s strange,” I note.“Maybe

    “You little bastard!” she shrieks at the kizibara, sobbing. “You’ll die for this! Give me that thing and tell Kays your creature bit me!” she screams at me now, completely unhinged, as Io and Yafi rush over. “Perfect timing—go on and ask him for the news!”Turning and scooping up Figaro, I flee from the garden to my room and lock myself in. I call Kays.“Kays…” my eyes blur with tears, my voice trembles—I’m on the brink of hysteria, and the brunette tenses instantly.“Iza, what happened now? Did someone hurt you?” he watches closely, trying to read my state.“No… it’s not about me…”“Did something happen to Bahira?!” The worry on his face tells me everything. At the realization, my insides painfully flip.“Figaro bit her,” I answer flatly, without blinking—and Kays starts to get angry.“Iza, I can’t even leave you alone there for a moment! How did he bite her?! Is she all right?” my beloved exhales heavily—and I’m this close to breaking down. “She’s in such a state right now…” he sigh

    “Give me that communication device!” the would-be queen snaps, arching a perfectly shaped brow and thrusting her hand out demandingly.“Not a chance. Get your own,” I snort at the audacity.“Karadeylis didn’t give me one—technology like this didn’t exist in my time,” the girl pouts, offended.“Well then, you don’t need it.”“Figures… After so many years, girls have completely lost their pride and dignity,” she throws another look of contempt my way. “When will you finally understand that you’re the extra one here? I almost pity you. The story is as old as the world itself—a man promises mountains to his mistress, she believes him out of naïveté and desire, and in the end she’s left with nothing but a broken trough.”“I see our situation very differently,” I try to move around the brunette, but she blocks my path. Figaro tenses beside me, growling.“You do know that marriages of serious rulers and monarchs don’t end in divorce, right? Or do you really think he’ll betray centuries-old t

    “No, they’re not!” Iolanta snaps, slamming her hand on the table. “Yes—if it weren’t for you, those girls would still be standing in Karadeylis’s garden! And birds would still be shitting on them for years to come! They’re the ones who should be chased off with rags! Out of Briol altogether—back to whatever backwater they crawled out of! The nerve!”Despite the unpleasant gossip from those girls, we actually end up having a pretty good time together. We place a new order, and no one bothers our little gathering anymore. Vasmiya talks about setting up her home. Io shares her growing pains with Yafi. And I try not to think about my own drama—and for a while, it even works.But all good things come to an end, and I have to head back. I don’t leave my room after that, not wanting to run into the king’s deranged wife.The next day, Io, Yafi, and I are walking in the garden when I receive a call. Kays had given me one of the communicators, but this is the first time he’s reached out. To giv

    "And who is it?""Well… Yafi…" now it’s the brunette’s turn to blush as she sneaks a glance at her fair-haired man."Yafi?!" the girl repeats louder than she should have and immediately covers her mouth with her hand."Yes," I hush my friend. "They’re together, can you believe it?""Wow…"We hadn’t even finished talking when several girls burst into the tavern from the street with loud squeals, shaking off the unpleasant drizzle. They were noisy and brazen as they settled at the neighboring table."Oh, girls, have you heard?" one of them began, giggling smugly. "Can you imagine—our king turns out to have been married! And his wife showed up at the palace not long ago!""No waaay!" the second girl drawled and looked at her third friend, who was grinning maliciously at the fresh gossip. "Is it true he turned out to be a smoking hot hunk?""He’s a hunk now," the third snorted at her friends. "Before that he was a real freak! And with a tiny dick, too!"My eyes practically popped out of m
