"Are you afraid of me?" Gedeon asked me when he took me for a walk through the streets and flowering parks of the city.
"No..." I muttered sharply, wrapping myself in a voluminous cloak with a hood.
"Why don't you talk to me? We should be friends..."
"For what?"
"I could protect you like I do now. No one will dare to approach you while I'm around," Gedeon said confidently. "You noticed interest to yourself, right?"
I carefully looked around, finding all the syrinxes passing by looking intently at us.
"Are these big guys afraid of you? Why?"
"I can punish very harshly... and in general I'm the boss for them! I'm a High Hierarch!"
"Really? Do you have any magic?"
"I don't want to brag, but I can strike by lightning, and it's very painful..."
"I'd rather take your word for it... no need to prove it... can't each of you do that?"
"No, this is a rare gift of a warrior. I'm not only the Queen's husband. I can become your personal bodyguard..."
...A very strange offer from a young royal. I'll get by somehow.
"Thank you! No worries…"
... In fact, I was really scared… Gedeon… taller than me… or rather his insane beauty and the way he looked at me... with adoration. Without a doubt, he desired a very deep and heartfelt friendship with me, although he denied that he was gay, and daily visited me in the tower, grabbed me with his clawed paw and dragged me with him to a separate room to communicate alone.
Gedeon told me a lot about their society, norms and culture, while I sketched him on paper so as not to look into his charming eyes, and he seemed to bloom with happiness that he was next to me. He laughed at his own jokes and tried to charm me, making his eyes so expressive that sometimes I could not take my eyes off him, and I made a poker face, showing in every way that I was not interested in him.
However, this was not so... The young man was very physically attractive to me. Every time I was alone with him, I expected his sexual advances... with sharp goosebumps all over my body. My heart trembled with fantasies of how he would fuck me... but I didn't dare offer it to him.
This happened to me for the first time, so that I began to feel sexually attracted to another guy, and carefully hid it. I dissolved all my thoughts so he wouldn't hear them. This is the same case when people say, this man is so gorgeous that for his sake guys become gays and girls become whores...
He was too sexy, everything about him was perfect for sweet intercourse... I wanted to touch him, kiss his beautifully carved juicy lips, run my fingers on the velvety smooth dark skin and... I felt dizzy... trembling with sharp arousal. A-ah… it's unbelievable burning feeling inside the my chest… Love or Lust? Damn it! Why I became so naughty?
To my horror, what Yarison promised continued to come true. I myself began to desire such a relationship. I wanted that guy...
I decided to ask the Queen's young husband one day if he knew him.
"Yarison? Who is it? I've never heard of him here!" Gedeon answered quickly. "I'm here recently, I lived on another planet. I was forced to get married to the Queen..."
"Was forced?" I asked again, deciding that I had understood incorrectly.
"Yes... does it sound strange to you?"
"Of course it's strange for me - you were forced to get married! Do you even love Ellamyria?"
"I love... she is beautiful and gentle, although she is thousands of times older than me. It is a great privilege for anyone to be honored by the Queen herself. Our son will be born soon..."
"Why did she choose you out of everyone?"
"Well..." he smiled shyly. "Look at me more carefully... I'm a tan-skinned brunette with light eyes. She hasn't had anyone like me in thousands of years..."
"Oh, I see! You mean something exotic to her..."
"You can also become her husband, by the way... if she offers, don't refuse."
"Seriously?"
"Yes... I will talk to her about increasing your status... And who is this Yarison for you?"
There was a look of alarming confusion on his face.
"Your lover?"
"No... It doesn't matter anymore!" I shook my head, immersed in sketching.
"I know someone with a similar name - Yarion, but this is a five-year-old boy from another planet, the son of Queen Zaria and a xantarian aristocrat. The boy has a terrible temper. We were always in conflict with him when I lived at the court of my adoptive father King Lariel."
"Conflict with a child? Sounds strange!" I expressed bewilderment.
"In fact, this is an adult in the body of a child. Born with full self-awareness of who he used to be..."
"And who was he?" I asked cautiously.
"How should I know? I didn't ask him! It seemed like he hated me for something, constantly bit me by offending phrases, called me a loser and a pathetic. He is very abusive by nature... A telepath and a mentalist from birth... Usually kids do not have such abilities until they grow up..."
The last words especially bothered me.
"And what does he look like?"
"Blond with sly turquoise eyes... nephew of Adivaris."
... Yeah... that's why there is such a resemblance to our mentor, they are relatives... Is it really him? His appearance and name almost match... Yarison died and was reborn then?... that's why I can't meet him... he's still a child, lives on another planet and remembers me without a doubt. I need to find out more about this boy.
"And who is his father?"
"Palien... A very arrogant man... I don't really know him, he is dangerous and unpredictable." Gedeon became serious, noticing my interest, after which I changed the topic of conversation.
