Her young favorite jumped up joyfully, clapped his hands, running out to meet her along the deserted street. The warm wind blew and tangled the long strands of his thick black hair. Today he was wearing a new blue tunic with slits on the sides, revealing his body.
"Look, my love!" Gedeon admired loudly, releasing a swirling whirlwind of multi-colored petals from his hands. "This is so cool and unexpected!"
"You become a wizard!" Luanlia admired. "Did you make this immodest robe yourself?"
"Yes, I will be fashionable now. I have never had such amazing creative power. It appeared suddenly, like yours. You shared magic with me and only your love is capable of this. How grateful I am to you! You are a miracle!"
Gedeon rushed to hug the dumbfounded Luanlia.
"But I didn't do anything."
"Only you could give me this power. Does this seem to make you sad?"
"Not at all, I just got the magic of sparkling creation from Ramies. I don't know how you will perceive this fact."
"Did he force you to be with him?"
"Oh, honey, I don't know how to explain this to you. Having relations with aristocrats is something of my pleasant duties. Not to say that I felt bad with them, on the contrary. I strongly attract them to me, and they constantly impose themselves, begging me to spend time with them, pestering me with kisses. The Azareans and their Ruler came to meet me, but I didn't want to communicate with them because I was very tired of the attention. It's good that Amirel and your father don't touch me."
Gedeon looked at her with sad eyes.
"Do you think he will pester you? But he already has a lot of ladies, even from other planets. No, father will not do this, knowing about my love for you. What about your husband, does he scold you?"
"He doesn't say anything more, he's happy that I'm pregnant with his child."
"Pregnant?" Gedeon exclaimed and thought, blinking his eyes in confusion. "I also want a son from you."
"You're so funny!" Luanlia giggled, smoothing his hair. "You haven't grown up yet, but you dream about a baby. You have to educate him, take care of him, but you are always so unkempt."
"Do you still consider me a child?" He asked sadly.
"No, but still you cannot have offspring yet."
"Really? Why not?"
It sounds silly… but the crystals for conception are formed only by powerful magicians. You are to young!"
"Heh! But could I try after Adivaris?"
"No you not! Who will allow you? Besides my husband is not at all interested in sharing me with anyone. I worry about you, he lose patience with me seeing you every day. He doesn't understand our connection."
"So… He is still feeling jealous of me?" Gedeon saddened. "But I'm not afraid of him, and someday I'll become a strong magician and get the high position in Hierarchy… sure I will got you as my wife!"
He thought for a moment and asked carefully:
"Tell me, what is the difference between intimacy with an aristocrat and with someone like me?"
"The sensations are different: a kiss with a vampire causes a surge of euphoria. They thus enjoy feminine energy and experience incredible bliss. Therefore, aristocrats even dream of just a kiss with a princess, who should be able to take away male energy in return for her own."
Gedeon's eyes widened in surprise.
"My father didn't tell me that one kiss is enough. What do you like best?"
"Before, I didn't like anything at all. I already had a mortal husband before initiation, and I was burdened by intimacy with him. When I saw you, something stirred in me, and after your caresses such passion began to boil within me that I was ready to fall into the grass with you from the first kiss."
Gedeon's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he became embarrassed, barely hiding a shy smile.
"Is it true? Have I impressed you that much?"
"Yes, every time the excitement is very strong, as if the blood is boiling. It's like magic, I don't know what it's called. So you will never have problems with seduction. Besides, you are very handsome!"
"I don't think I have the Lamori gift. Lariel is my adoptive father, so there was no way I could inherit this."
"Oh, now it's clear, this is love magic after all! It is clear why the King has such an effect on women. Whenever he looks at her, the lady gets goosebumps all over the body."
