where the royal knights, tired of yesterday's orgy, gradually began to wake up, - some, waking up, started to caress each other again, and hurried to the dressing room, where he left his clothes.

In the Palace of love, as discovered by the young knight was much more space than just one room orgies. There was a large sauna with a pool, which had already been flooded to awaken the knights, and in which several men and women already washed off the traces of yesterday’s orgy, not forgetting to caress each other. At first, Hilbert did not want to use the bath, fearing that the knights who were washing in it would harass him (especially since he went to the bath not later than the day before yesterday, before visiting the queen), but then the young knight felt that he was not bothered to wash off his sweat and other traces of yesterday's orgy. Of course, he did not manage to avoid having some knights start coming to him, but the young man dissuaded himself from being tired after yesterday's orgy. In fact, he had to admit to himself that he was pleased when women knights hugged, kissed and stroked in sensitive places, but the thought that today he should go on his first task and had no right to fail the queen, forced hurry him up There was also a “breakfast room” in the Palace of Love, where visitors to the palace could refresh themselves after nightly orgies — and, of course, Gilbert, who felt very hungry after yesterday’s eyes, took the opportunity to eat. At the table, the other knights who had also gathered for breakfast, being dressed, finally behaved in an orderly and complacent way, no longer trying to seduce their young comrade and, it seemed to the young knight, holding himself as an equal to him, because after this dedication and it must have been for them one of their combat camaraderie. Finally, dressed, clean and well-fed, the young knight, not forgetting to say goodbye to his new comrades, hurried to the temple of Agon, where he left his armor, weapons and a horse.

Dressed in armor, leading the bridle of his horse, Gilbert went to the pier, where passengers gradually rose to the ship, and the porters carried goods to the ship, which were supposed to go north. Among the passengers of the ship were all sorts of people, but the attention of the young knight was attracted by one of the passengers, dressed like him in knightly armor and also leading the knight of a warhorse, but singling out from the crowd thanks to a pair of feathered angel wings behind his back. Looking closer, the young man made sure that this is really the same red-haired semi-angelic peogina named - the young man tried to recall her name - Daneya, with whom he had sex in the Palace of Love yesterday evening. Daney, catching the glance of the young man on herself, turned to him - she did not immediately manage to recall Hubert, but finally, recognizing him, she hurried to him.

- Sir Gilbert! - vigorously spoke poluangelitsa redhead, hardly giving the boy time to recover. - You got name Gilbert? You also sit on this ship? I'm glad to meet you again! - for the first time, Hilbert saw a semi-angelic dressed - because of the wings growing on her back, her clothes had a cutout on the back, covered by a cloak behind her and slightly opening her chest in front. She wore trousers with codpiece, clearly says that the owner of the pants - peogina.

“Yes ... Mrs. Daney ...” replied the young knight, slightly stunned by the sudden meeting, “I really should get on this ship and head north.” Her Majesty entrusted to me as the royal knight the first task - to go to the fortress Ivernal, prepare to defend the northern frontiers of Aquilonia from orcs, ice dragons and all the rest.

- In Ivernal? - Dana repeated, then smiled happily.- What a success: I, too, must go to Ivernal! It will be my honor to fight beside you, Sir Gilbert! - Redhead defiantly smiled.

“I, too ... will be glad to fight next to you, Mrs. Daneya,” answered the young man, rather out of politeness than sincerely (by the way, why not?). His red-haired interlocutor did not give him a chance to come to himself.

“Since we are both going to Ivernal, then maybe we will take one cabin for two on the ship, pick it up?” - She continued meanwhile. - It will be cheaper, and ... - the red-headed wink winked at the young man, - we will be able to continue what we did yesterday ...

The young man blushed at these words - he looked around, if someone from nearby people could not hear their conversation on such a frank topic, but the passengers and team members did not pay much attention to the semi-angelic and her interlocutor. Of course, he liked sex with the red-headed angel, but he had to tell her the truth — and the young knight stammered, saying:

- Please forgive me, Mrs. Daneya ... You are very beautiful and you, I have no doubt, are as skilled in battle as ... - here the young man got off, blushed even more and, without finishing the phrase, said: - But my heart belongs to her majesty.

His companion stared in surprise at the young knight and asked:

- In what sense? Are you serious? - at her words, the young knight himself realized how silly of him was - to hope that Queen Ariella could respond to his feelings, dare to love the ruler of Aquilonia. “She has her consort, and in general ... I thought you chose me the second time yesterday because you liked me!” - She said quite sincerely, from which the young knight felt even worse.

“No, I really liked you,” he hurried to answer, “but the queen ...” he looked down. “I understand that this sounds silly, and I have no right to expect any feelings towards me from Her Majesty ... But I can’t do anything with myself ...” the young knight was silent, still not looking up.

Apparently, the young man now looked really sorry and lost, because the semi-angelica looked at him with sincere sympathy, and then reached out and patted him on the head.

“Don't you worry so much,” she said gently. “There, in the north, many young knights will fight next to you, and I am sure you will meet among them the one who will kill you, or who you will love.” And I will not mind at all if I become a knight of your heart, - the redhead smiled at the young man, but he did not answer, and then she continued, winking at him: - So, do you agree to share the journey with me in the same cabin? My offer is still valid!

The young knight hesitated: his “duty to the queen” urged him not to betray his feelings for her majesty, to be faithful to his mistress - however, if you think about what kind of debt it could be to your overlord? Maybe he really should forget his stupid love for the queen and try to find another woman for herself - and Daney really did fit this role ... And then, if they really take one cabin for two, it will save him some money that he will need in the future.

“Well ... I accept your offer, Mrs. Daneya,” the young knight finally looked up at his companion. “Only ...” he lost his way and turned red, “we will probably have to do without sex, because I still have pain after yesterday's orgy ... there,” he was embarrassed even more and lowered his eyes again: not that he I wanted to wriggle out of sex with a semi-angelic-peogina, but he really still ached from behind after anal sex. The red-haired semi-angelic, however, laughed in response and put an arm around the young man.

“I have a little bit too,” she replied, laughing, and then spoke insinuatingly and seductively, “but I know many ways to give you pleasure otherwise.” Want to try?

The young man hesitated, doubting, but finally found the strength to smile and nod back to Danie, and the red-headed semi-angelic, laughing, not embarrassed by anyone, pulled the young man to her and kissed him on the lips.Hilbert thought that his journey promises to be boring, but he was not at all against it.
