... On the day of my sixteenth birthday, my father brought me to the Ra-Ell estate, as I later guessed, “to the bride”, but then I was overwhelmed with pride and joy, leaving no room for third-party and thoughtful reflections. Pride because there was no person in Antrey more respected than the one who accompanied me. And the joy ... We saw each other too rarely: the service took my father's time, my time was training. Not that it was so hard to learn something new every day, and yet, knowing how few days we spent together, it was bitter to waste them on useful activities, but at the time of youth, seeming superfluous and worthless.The first time I was surprised was when my father led me along the path deep into the park, and not along the main alley to the front porch. The second time, when I saw behind the dense openwork of the bushes where we stopped, a lawn, and in the middle of it a fountain and five girls dressed in dresses of the same cut. Perhaps it was this similarity that ca

Eleventh day of the month of the First ThundersChangeable Ka-Yi moves into the constellation Ma-Dane and receives two attachments at once: five and a third rumba with the Sun and rumba with a third with the ArcherRule of the day: "If fate gives support, know that it first of all supports itself.""Lotion of star rivers" recalls:“This is the strongest day of the entire lunar journey. All desires and thoughts tend to come true, but the power of their pressure can be both good and destructive. It is not enough to be careful and attentive in business: it is more important to bring everything to completion and be prepared for unexpected twists of fate. The main task of the day is to tame your pride, obey the call of fate to deeds and people, accept everything as worthy of you and destined for you.Five and a third of the rumba of Ka-Yi with the Sun is a very strong attachment, giving the victorious procession of duty and the will of man. The main thing is to go where you can do your dut

The malice of a self-satisfied person made me take a closer look at the former owner. No, I did not rush to read it , gods save me! I just compared the impressions, past and present. After all, then, in the market, he was not at all surprised to see me, as if he was expecting my arrival. And not just expected, but hoped and believed that I would come ... That's how? Interesting.You took this order on purpose. For what purpose?“Believe it or not, dan Ra-Gros, I love the city I live in and don't want to see its walls crumble in favor of someone's selfish or insane designs. When I heard that some rich man was offering a lot of money to smuggle a stranger into Antreya… I very rarely feel fear, dan. Rarely. But this time I got scared, because if it’s dangerous for a person to go straight through customs, it’s better that he doesn’t go anywhere at all."And that's why you did it yourself?" To make sure everything works out?Likker shook his head in displeasure, as if he always thought I w

Lagro, Royal Prison,the end of the night watch and the first third of the morning watchI flew into the guardhouse half an hour before the deadline and was greeted with reproachful (and slightly hazy from the intoxicant taken on my chest) looks, so I blurted out right from the threshold:- I understood everything, I realized, I am a sinner, I promise to improve!While the players looked at each other in bewilderment, he reached the chosen cell, changed his clothes with his last breath and collapsed on the bunk, closing his eyes. I don’t remember how and when Alden came in: I fell into a short and heavy sleep, but upon waking up, neither the sword, nor the heap of clothes in which I dangled along the night streets of Antreya, was observed within the cell. But there was Viger, patiently waiting for my arrival in a meaningful state.- What time is it now?- The hedgehog has just changed.- Excellent. Take him or some other smart guys and visit the house of a merchant named Soyner in the

Antrea, Lint Quarter, Royal Asylum for the Infirm,day watch- Well, did not manage to mess around?Exactly. The hero returned from the campaign, and he was immediately in the forehead. Or on the forehead. No to greet with tears of joy and tenderness on a freckled face!“I'm glad to see you too.Alden frowned.“Actually, I was worried.- About?I open the lid of the chest and rummage through a pile of worn camisoles and trousers, donated by the kind inhabitants of Antreya for free use to the inhabitants of the shelter. Considering that these inhabitants are two and a half cripples (to my great happiness), then we can say that goodness is wasted. And I, as a zealous owner, cannot allow this. Absolutely. Therefore, from time to time I myself take advantage of the generosity of the townspeople, only I do not always risk appearing in this form on the street at the height of the day: what if someone recognizes his old suit? I, let's say, will not be ashamed, but the donor may well become.
