"Yes, and not the one. I see that the King invited you to take a break from stuffy Illuria and your energetic chosen one. You managed to live with the bully Tarmio. He is my close friend."
His eyes sparkled brightly with an amber flame.
"And you, Ramies, are already here, of course," Lariel, who appeared, grinned, carefully clasping Zarmina's waist.
"Yes, I couldn't pass by another princess. I've already lost count of how many of them have been here," Ramies teased.
"Don't listen to him," Lariel said to his guest, dragging her away from the ladies' man. - "He's terribly jealous of my teleport ability. Everyone is talking and gossiping about me."
Being in the pleasant embrace of the King, Zarmina listened to his every word, and he continued to seduce her with his irresistible smile and charming eyes of a fab color, walking with her around the city and in shady parks.
She admitted that it was truly impossible to resist the charm of this handsome man and communication with him caused a burning fiery thrill in her chest, similar to when meeting Gedeon, only many times stronger. This is why he and Lamori are so that no woman can resist his sweet seduction.
Zarmina waited with excitement for when he would offer her some privacy, but the friendly King did not make any hints about the upcoming sex.
"Your city is beautiful, there are many trees and flowers," she praised the owner of Ornalion after a long walk. "Everything is so clean and well-maintained, your people are very happy to have such a caring Ruler. Do you know how my friends dream of visiting you?"
"Oh, yes, I'm aware of it. They think that they will revel here in all sorts of pleasures in the form of free love. Naive vamps, there is a price for everything!
"And which one?"
"They will lose themselves because they will change! This happened to everyone who ended up here. And now no one wants to leave Ornalion. My former enemies have settled here and no threats can drive them away from here. But I'm flattered that they were so humiliated, it did them good," Lariel chuckled.
"Did I understand correctly that those who need to change come here?"
"You don't have to take it personally. I saw that you needed spiritual support and invited you here to harmonize your energy flows. You always push men away and don't strive to maintain long-term relationships with them, and I understand why, you don't have enough energy for these insatiable vamps. You can't be at their disposal every day and shower them with love. This is why you hate them."
Zarmina covered her face with her hands, nodding.
"Yes, I can't even look at them and over the centuries of my life I'm tired of this Code. And they reproach me that I am cold and incapable of love. Adivaris came and announced his supervision over me. This is so insulting! You and Gedeon are different. It's so nice to be around you!"
She looked at the King with wet eyes.
"But what should I do now?" Zarmina said desperately. "I can't live as before. My heart is breaking from pain and unwillingness to follow the rules of society. There has been a change of power, but I am not satisfied with what the new government is proposing."
"You need to choose a permanent husband who will love you, preferably a young vamp. This is a better option for you than being Lamori. I know that you would prefer to live with Deo, but this is impossible, do not forget that now Adivaris, in the position of Ruler, is solving family problems. You have no reason to be afraid of him, he is really interested in making the princesses happy and is ready to spend a lot of time to achieve harmony in the relationship between the syrinxes and the Radiances."
"But he requires intimacy as a necessary part of my re-education," - Zarmina objected.
"He meant friendly relations first of all, and the feeling that arises during communication almost always leads to intimacy. He is polyamorous and always does this, tries to become a friend, starting with a kind conversation without any coercion or hints, and often the woman herself invites him to share a bed with her after intimate chat. Adivaris knows how to win over women, he has a lot of experience. He seduced my wife too, although she avoids men."
"I don't understand why you are considered a seducer of princesses? You didn't even try to kiss me? Usually ladies' men immediately make it clear that they are not against close communication."
"That's how everyone thinks about me, as if I'm lustful. Not at all! Women drag me into bed, and I can't refuse them. I understand that they will suffer and be angry if they are rejected. That's what you did to Gedeon, isn't it?"
"I fell in love with him at first sight, although, of course, all syrinxes are gorgeous, but Deo is special. I was very surprised that he was so stubborn, but still gave in to my caresses, although I usually don't behave like that!"
There was an awkward silence between them.
