Читать книгу The Prince is the punishment of heaven - Рамиль Латыпов - Страница 3

My room is cozy. Three maids dress me. They are affectionate and submissive. Food is on the table and they eat well. They are so affectionate when they are full. Soon they will eat so well. Therefore, I specially ran to the dining room and grabbed a lot of goodies. I’m wearing a white formal suit and a crown of gold and diamonds. Simple, it is only for the prince. Thin and light. But in time I will wear the king’s big crown. This is where she carries real power. Heavy crown with many rubies and diamonds. Decorated with our coat of arms and flag. All the power of the country is in this crown. And it’s filled with magic. You can cast powerful spells with it. Of course, if you have royal blood. My blood. It won’t suit a commoner. He might even die wearing it.

– You are so beautiful, prince. – Said the demon Elsa, smiling. But the sadness is visible on the face. «It’s a pity that the butler Alex forbade us to sleep together before marriage.» We were also completely forbidden to approach you for a whole month. It’s a pity I liked sleeping in your bed.

The other girls nodded too. You can’t fool me though. I know what disgusts them. I’m not handsome and not an expert in bed. They don’t need me, but the bed and food that I give them. But after the wedding there is no ban on mistresses. The main thing is that she gets pregnant quickly. Maybe ask guard Gennady to help with this. The child will be beautiful. But this is a last resort. I’ll try my best myself.

– My prince is waiting for you. – The nasty butler Alex came in. He smelled of weak alcohol. Apparently he’s already drunk. Maybe he’s sad that I’m getting married. He offered me a lot. Wrote love letters. He’s old. Although he didn’t cross the line and helped with the maids. He let them go from work to me earlier. Although I might not let go. He did not beat them like other slaves. I don’t like ladies with bruises. And before coming to me, he personally bathed them. But he didn’t pester them. Although I heard from one maid with donkey ears that my rat has a lover, the gardener Yuri. But I didn’t know whether to believe them or not. In front of me, the gardener only spoke nervously and praised the flowers in the garden. He didn’t look at the maids who were next to me. He is only thirty years old. Handsome. Although almost everyone in the palace is more beautiful than me.

I left the room. Surrounded by ladies and a butler. The maids wiped their eyes with a handkerchief. The butler too. Nobody likes my wedding. Maybe I won’t like her either if my wife is ugly. Although the elves are all beautiful. But maybe there are exceptions among them. Alliances between elves and goblins and orcs are not uncommon.

Many corridors with paintings of battles and naval battles. Beautiful furniture everywhere. The tones are red and yellow. Just like our flag. And here is the throne room. There will be a meeting of guests, a banquet and a ball. There were three people in the hall. My parents and Chancellor Margo Zell. The first lady chancellor in the history of the country of Torus. A smart lady with glasses and a bun of black hair. Race demon, small horns and red skin. There was a tail too. I would have loved her that way, even though she was three hundred years old. But she looks eighteen. With a gorgeous figure. And refined facial features. Until this day, zero attention has been paid to me. I didn’t even say hello when we met. I liked that about her. It will be a pleasure to conquer her.

– My son has come. Come, we still have a lot to discuss. – The father said rejoicing. But when he saw my ladies behind me, he got angry. – You girls go away. And don’t go near him. If I find out that you are going to see him, I will execute you immediately. Just know that. Alex, take them away, I order you. – And after thinking a little. «Stop crying, he’s my son after all, I know about your feelings for him and I don’t share them.»

The ladies, hearing the king’s anger, hurried to leave the hall arm in arm with Alex. It’s a pity, I wanted to cuddle them at least once more before the ball. The cat may even press the girl in a dark corner and tear her off. I sat down on my throne next to the king. It is small and modest. But it is still a throne. I don’t sit on it often. Sitting behind your father’s throne is, yes. Big and cozy. You feel the power when you sit on it. The whole country is waiting for your decisions.

«Prince, I’m glad you’re getting married.» This alliance with the elves will bring unprecedented prosperity to our country. The sooner you have heirs, the better. They will be able to strengthen our alliance. And if we are attacked by enemies, the children will be a strong argument for the elves to help us. Everything depends on you, my prince. – The lady chancellor winked at me. They put too much pressure on me. And so the doctor Toren checks my men’s health every week. It’s so disgusting to be naked in front of an old bearded gnome. But it has to be.

– All for the sake of the country. – I said the standard slogan of my country. And he raised his hand in greeting. Index finger forward. The rest squeezed. «I can’t understand why you daddy forbade me to see the ladies?» – Although everyone understood from their facial expressions that seeing each other meant copulating.

«Son,» Mom said tenderly. – Men’s health differs from women’s, as do their views on the world. If our guest finds out that you slept with three maids for a whole month before the wedding. She might be a little upset. And put poison in your tea. «She looked into my amazed eyes. I didn’t even think about that. – Don’t make such surprised eyes. We all knew about your lady maids. It’s good that you didn’t pester Alex. – She laughed a little. Everyone in the palace knew that it was he who was pestering me. He’s like the local palace jester here. – And yes, women can do that. Princess Tamara will live in the palace until the wedding. You will spend the whole day only with her and no one else. Take a walk in the park, go to a romantic restaurant in the city in the evening under the moonlight. Go to the fountain festival. To the theatre. There are many beautiful places in our country. Let her fall in love with you. Line up son. That’s why we drove the maids away from you. Otherwise it will be a little awkward when Tamara suddenly wants to wish you good night. Or maybe a kiss on the cheek if your relationship comes to that. He comes into your room, and you sleep there with three ladies in an embrace. The rat, as always, has your baby in its mouth. Two others on the sides. It will speak badly of you. You still have to live with her for the rest of your life.

Or even worse, you fall in love with all your might. Your screams can be heard throughout the palace. You don’t hold back in love.

And there are more reasons. If you don’t be with the ladies for a month. Your little ones will be as active as possible and the chance of having a granddaughter will increase. Although, knowing your dad, I’m not sure that the maids won’t return after the wedding. – She sighed sadly. Dad has mistresses. Everyone knew about it. Maybe the chancellor is among them. Although I might get it as well, so to speak, as an inheritance. They live a very long time. Maybe my great-grandson will have fun with it. We need to organize a new position in the servants. Hereditary mistress. All kings will sleep with them. Although then she will gain too much power and will know many secrets. No, the idea will have to be abandoned. Otherwise she would have flown from the roof of the castle. Accidentally slipped. Although I would like to ride the chancellor.

Apparently the chancellor caught my train of thought and winked at me. Demons have the ability to pick up on the moods and thoughts of others. Although these are just rumors. The demons themselves don’t like to talk about it.

«I understand everything, Mom.» You’re right. I hope I like my fiancee Tamara. What will you advice me? What should you talk to her about at the ball? I want to impress her.

«Son,» Father was clearly happy about my question. «Did you even talk to the maids or just sleep with them?» Ladies love to talk about flowers and chocolates. All sorts of rubbish. Compliment her dress there, her hair. Ladies are obsessed with their appearance. Treat her to champagne. That’s all.

– Don’t listen to him, son. – The queen said sadly. It is clear that her father doesn’t talk to her much and all conversations come down to pressing problems. – Talk to her about romance. What books have I read? Just not the ones I found under the bed. And with dressed ladies. «She shook her head sadly. – Those about heroes who save princesses from imprisonment in a castle with a dragon. This of course does not happen in real life. Like the princesses, who decide at least something in life. My father kept me all my life until I was eighteen in a castle tower far away in the mountains. Then he married your dad. My opinion was not asked. In this world, a lady generally has little say in decision making. It’s a man’s world here. And even if the princess doesn’t like you, she will still marry you. But how you live with her depends on you. So you can tell her a poem. Talk a lot. Don’t let her even open her mouth. Let him think that you are a friendly guy. Although there is little hope for this. You are my gloomy son. It’s good that you’re at least a prince, otherwise with such character and appearance you wouldn’t survive in the world outside the castle walls. «All three adults nodded their heads and laughed. What did I do to them? Maybe they’re right though. – Try not to be yourself. Try to be like the prince.

– Okay, mommy, I’ll do everything as you say. «I told them to get rid of me.»

– Butler, lead the servants with trays and let them show me what they are serving to my guests today. – The king said it loudly.

Seven maids, led by Alex, entered the room. My favorites were not among them. Maybe it’s time to choose new victims. There are trays full of food in their hands. They stood in a row near the king. He extended his hand and whoever he was pointing at. On the third maid, the king tried a sandwich with pate and began to choke. Cough and beat your chest. Everyone got excited and began to approach him. Everyone but me. Maybe today is a good day. The old man dies and I become king. I will drive out the elf princess and bring back my three favorites. They will love me for a long time. Even in a week, or even two. After the ladies from the brothel it’s hard to walk. Craftswomen. And then you still need to go to them. The butler is executed. I will have a lot to do.

«Did you really believe that I was poisoned?» – The king laughed, looking at everyone. «I will rule you for a long time yet.»

My plans to rule this country were temporarily dashed by reality. Although this helped me understand what needs to be done. The princess and her family won’t like me enough to leave. We’ll have to try. And I will return my girls to full ownership.

– Don’t joke like that, king, how would I be without you? – The chancellor said, gently holding the king’s hand. She worried about the king even more than the queen. It’s immediately obvious that she loves him. The Queen noticed this too. She clearly didn’t like it. Lest our chancellor slip from the tower on a dark night.

«You can have aristocrats,» King Diogenes said cheerfully. -Name them one by one. And Zaire do not disgrace us by not knowing the names of the guests. Say names correctly too. You are still my assistant. – Call the archbishop first. Let him sanctify us. Otherwise this crappy food will give me indigestion. – The king kept laughing

– Will be done. – Said the little gnome who stood in the corner and I almost didn’t notice him.

He entered the hall. Archbishop Brahms. A beautiful angel with white wings and a kind face. The religion of the Goddess of Light in our country took strong roots a hundred years ago. Before that we were pagans. They danced in circles and burned effigies. But the Country of Light went to war against us. She crushed our army and forced us to pay tribute once every ten years. My union with Tamara will turn this shameful leaf in our history.
