The Goddess of Freedom.
"Honey, what are the thoughts in your head? You can't get to know people, much less help them. Why are you walking around these stores? You have enough of your own problems. What if the agents find you? How are we all going to get out?"
Ramies sat down next to her, piercing her with an amber gaze. Amirel immediately appeared in the room with a worried face.
"Why is everything so unfair?" - Avilena was indignant. - "Local syrinxes, it turns out, kidnap girls right on the street without their consent. And you both told me that you have never done this!"
Amirel shook his head negatively:
"We didn't do it! We don't need simple girls, we have always sought the attention of only princesses. You must understand that we are purebred syrinxes and we were forbidden from youth to even think about love affairs. We were brought up for a long time and harshly in boarding schools and lyceums, taught magic, martial arts and military sciences, and after grueling practice we were given the rank of officer and sent to serve in the fleet in the rear. My first woman was Arumy, I won her attention to become her lover."
"Yes," - Ramies nodded. - "But there are aristocrats in our society who eagers to multiply their kids. The poor things live very little after the birth of their children. The radiation from such babies is destructive. That's why we don't kidnap ordinary girls so as not to sentence them to premature death."
"I felt sorry for Tain, and I promised to find out what happened to his beloved Neylira."
Ramies exchanged glances with Amirel.
"How will it help him if he finds out what happened to her? Then he will begin to demand that you help rescue her from captivity. I'm worried about you that you'll start using your superpower of liberation and you'll be discovered by agents."
"So you know something about her?" - Avilena perked up.
Ramies looked at her expressively.
"I see her and she's okay. She is alive and not pregnant, nothing to worry about. The kidnapper decided not to have kids; he values her very much. And any attempts to persuade her to let her go are useless."
"Darling," - Amirel intervened. - "There is no need to find out the details and I beg you, do not use your magic, they will quickly find you out. Superpower emits such strong vibrations that there is no way to hide them. We feel it like a wave blow from the outside. I know that you are always on the side of justice, but in this case, calm down. It is better not to mess with this magician who captivated this girl. If you free her, he'll find you and we'll be in trouble. And then he will get his sweetheart out of the ground again. There is nothing to help here, so tell your friend. Let him come to terms with her loss. She will not get out of the tower of the powerful magician."
"Is this magician your friend? Can I talk to him?"
"No, not a friend, but he is twice our age and stronger. We were once under his command," - Amirel explained. - "He has always been involved in kidnappings, and no one forbade him to do it."
"Why doesn't he just prefer local princesses?"
Ramies smiled bitterly.
"He didn't want to participate in paternity competitions and traveled a lot around the colonies. Moreover, you are not supposed to be with each princess for more than one year. And one mortal girl lasts ten or twenty years of life. One dies and the other was kidnapped. This is difficult for me to bear, and that is why I was so persistent in living together. With your immortality, we will live happily for centuries and will not be alone."
"How cruelly they treat people! They don't let me live like a human being. Is Neylira at least happy?" - Avilena expressed her worries.
Amirel sighed heavily:
"There is no need to ask about her anymore and disturb the space. We don't need such problems. If the Archons find out about your superpower, it will be very bad for all of us. Do not ruin the life of yourself, or him, or us because of the desire to help some person. You can't even imagine who the Rulers are and how cruelly they punish."
"I heard they are huge."
"If only they were huge! They are destructive and can immediately burn to the ground if they want. No one can resist them. Don't ever get in their way. We never approach them or start a conversation."
"You don't want the giants to discover you?"
Avilena shook her head in fear.
