in weapon it is not trained?
Elen Gluzdovna answered nothing to it. Only for some reason reddened,
turned and silently left. Having chosen time, the Wolfhound on the same day
asked Right. The boyar strictly looked at him: that else for
curiosity? - but then, it is visible, judged that the bodyguard hardly
asked for the sake of an empty entertainment. Also told a vein that mother of a knesinka was
famous warrior: the sovereign Gluzd first consisted at it simple
voivode. She was killed in battle with sea segvana, and the Sense which remained
to raise the innocent daughter, swore that will not allow for her same
destinies.
- Knes did not teach it and to us commanded, - he warned the Wolfhound.
That nodded:
- Thanks for science, boyar...
Grumbling Is abrupt gave it to the doctrine of two adolescents, Likhoslav and
Likhobora. The benefit to them, on especial not eminence of their sort, dedication in heroes
it was necessary at all not necessarily. Twins and were nicknamed: brothers
Dashing. Nice guys amicably disliked Luchezar, and therefore feature
new service was to the taste to them just. It is necessary - none of a team
not the decree was it now! Even boyars!
- Only I, - told the Wolfhound, and children did not want to argue with him.
He added: - And knesinka, but only that security affairs not
concerns.
Much more difficultly other science seemed to brothers: to pay attention
only on what could concern somehow madam, turning a deaf ear
malicious remarks and even the direct offenses turned on them.
Every morning kind Serko brought the Wolfhound in fortress, and veins
lowered forty sweats from adolescents. At first they slightly shunned it, but
then got used, started to respect and even porasskazat to it much entertaining.
For some reason he felt considerable sense of relief, having learned that Luchezar was not at all
to knesinka brother, to neither family, nor two-family. Her great-grandmother was led up it
to the great-grandfather of svaty. Luchezar, however, at each opportunity called
knesinka the sister, but it his brother - never. And still was at young
boyar one strangeness. It was locked by times at itself(himself) and was not shown
whole days, and even two. At the same time Luchezar pleaded an illness,
but, most likely, pleaded: corporal fortress in it was on
three.
When twins mentioned these strange absences, something moved
in memory of the Wolfhound, precisely a string a self-arrow, alerted at animal
tracks. He remembered gait Left, so not pleasant to it in day at once
attempts, also asked:
- But whether there is no boyar before being locked, is irritable and
it is evil?
Brothers exchanged glances and at once nodded the linen shaggy heads:
- Still as happens!.
Then the Wolfhound strong suspected that he Left was an adherent gray
the crystals granting pleasure, marvelous waking dreams... and the shuffling gait
after awakening. He in Bright mountains saw enough of fans
sweet poison. Also knew that she eventually created with people. It not
began to speak nothing to adolescents and also in detail asked them on all
other inhabitants of fortress, to the latest groom and the slave.
The Spravny bodyguard has to know everything. And about a young chernavka,
met with the hero, and about the offended servant, perhaps, concealed
angrily. And about in what places the knesinka likes to gather mushrooms. And about
the boyar who, that look absolutely will become the slave to gray powder, - and
means, and the people bringing him...
In the evenings Niilit treated him the magic, and through some
time he with joyful surprise found out that he ceased to cough.
The Hostess Sudeb pitted them against Luchezar foreheads again soon.
Somehow in the morning, standing on Krom backyard, the Wolfhound explained to brothers
Dashing sophisticated art of sudden fight: stood, there was a person
serenely... and suddenly blows up a whirlwind shattering and instant
blows. Almost it was not necessary to see similar to adolescents earlier. Wolfhound
knew that in teams such fight shunned. Brothers Dashing too at first
wrinkled noses, then ceased. Destiny of the hero - honest fights a breast on
breast yes proud duels. The bodyguard - business other. To it if only
to observe the one whom undertook to protect, live and in health. And honor and glory
let get others...
Mouse, sitting on a shoulder at the Wolfhound, suddenly began to worry and hissed.
Veins looked back and saw Luchezar going to them. For the young boyar
followed two men whom he recognized now, and having learned -
pricked up the ears. One was that dark-haired soldier of priests; probably, they and
indeed expelled the loser. Vyshelushili, as cancer, from striped armor. And
the second... the second was his opponent-solvenn of that time.
- Here two more bodyguards for the sister, - Luchezar told, addressing
to Right which seldom passed a case to look at the Wolfhound and
adolescents. - Soldiers, that it is necessary and besides not galiradets. With anybody here, in
the city, will not begin to arrange.
It is abrupt frowned and asked dark-haired:
- How to call you? And why with preachers for the sea did not departure?
- To call me Kanaon, Kavtin's son, and my sort - soldiers, - replied
that. Judging by accent, Narlak lying to the northwest was its homeland
from Halisong, behind mountains which solvenna called Castle, and veins -
Iron. - Preachers released me, - Kanaon continued, and was
it seems that he really became angry to them. - In seven cities a sword for
their belief stood, it is lovely yes it was good. An should have blundered once...
He looked at the Wolfhound and at once looked away.
- And you? - turned Right to a solvenn.
The guy was called a bird's name - Plishkoy. According to him, it was
the orphan also grew the farm laborer at the farmer-segvana, then ran away from him and
became the mercenary. And wandered already seven years in this world,
earning by a sword. At the same time he acquired some troubles from Pupils
Twins and then on the square was going to settle accounts, but did not master.
And when those already left, saw Kanaon who is nearly crying in tavern. Former
opponents took together beer and right there agreed to keep the friend
friends. So, together, they also came to the boyar Luchezar because heard,
that a knesinka hired bodyguards can be useful to madam...
Harmoniously, the Wolfhound thought. Harmoniously and nicely. See, at Right already
and eyebrows from a nose bridge in the parties parted. Yes. Once upon a time there were two horobry
the warrior and ратилисъ it is honest, and then took yes fraternized. What here not
to understand!
It is abrupt turned to it:
- You what you will tell, veins?
The wolfhound shrugged shoulders, ironing Mysh who hung on a shirt, and is indifferent
answered:
- I will tell that, so far I at a knesinka, to these two beside it not to happen.
Plishka and Kanaon perplexed exchanged glances: anything similar they,
probably, did not wait. Luchezar's hand fell by a sword
.
- And you undertake not much, veins? - grumbled It is abrupt.
The wolfhound quietly told:
- You asked me, I answered.
- What you are afraid of?. - inquired It is abrupt. Plishka hemmed:
- Is afraid, the knesinka us forward it Kanaon will begin to favor.
began to smile: face, blue eyes, courageous, dark from suntan, white
teeth from under black moustaches. Beautiful small, what to tell. And Plishka
it was good itself, it is much good. The wolfhound told:
- One of them beat another, and I beat the winner.
- Well and that? - sniffed It is abrupt. - If you beat them, they, your way, it is bad
fight? Adolescents, probably, only you do not sweep the yard...
- Perhaps they fight and it is quite good, - the Wolfhound told. - But to madam,
it is while live, I will not admit them.
- You offend, veins, - shook Plishk's head. - Look, to repent not
it should.
- And you be silent, cloth ears! - bellowed suddenly Right. - Talk to me here!
Kanaon in a low voice murmured on-solvennski something, concerning
boots and grandmother Volkodava's corbel. For similar words caused in venn
on a duel, and all this was known. Brothers Dashing without coming off looked on
mentor. The wolfhound stood as the deaf.
Luchezar listened to a conversation, gradually growing white from rage. His hand
danced on a sword handle, but further it business till did not go. Not to it,
to the army soldier, publicly to be lifted up with the former slave...
- Went! - shortly he threw to mercenaries. And those left after it,
badly looking back at the Wolfhound. When disappeared, on it it was filled
It is abrupt:
- And now, the guy, tell plainly! Pochto offended kind people?. - And
furiously looked back to the twins who stood a row: - Shoo!.
Likhobor and Likhoslav on a habit moved from the place, but then
exchanged glances - and remained to stand where stood. The boyar, seeing it
disobedience, it began to be poured by anger and opened a mouth to shout...
The wolfhound was ahead of him, having nodded:
- Go.
Brothers disappeared.
- Well, guy!. - It is abrupt did not know, to become angry or laugh. Scratched
also continued by a hand in a beard: - You with those two the word not
it peremolvitsya, and I you, venn, I know. Means, you estimate, not
whether the destiny to death will finish to be cut!. Why?
- Because they lied, - the Wolfhound told. - They know the friend long ago
friend. And that fight was false. To such people I have no belief...
And that who to the sister in bodyguards marries off such people, he added about
.
- But not you look back at own tail? - the boyar hemmed. - From what
took?. The wolfhound grinned:
- I am an animal etched, the voivode, here and I look back... When they fought,
Plishka guessed blows which cannot be guessed. And then did not notice most
simple which нарлак also knocked down him...
It is abrupt, despising wooden swords, pulled out from a sheath fighting and
demanded:
- Show!
The wolfhound showed. It did not manage to concern the boyar, but business was not in
volume.
- You catch them as I then, - he told Right. - And Plishka
it was protected as if foreknew. The boyar lowered a sword and asked:
- How old are you?
- Twenty three.
- And you battle how many?
- Four...
- And I - from four, - with boyish disappointment declared Is cool. - That year
your father, I do not know whether was born! Why you saw at once what I understood
only now?
The wolfhound told:
- Probably, you all dealt with honest soldiers, the voivode. Not as I, with
hanged men.
The next day was given warm and solar. The young knesinka solved
to ride a horse and ordered to gather to the Wolfhound:
- You will go with me.
The boyar Krut called up someone from heroes more young and began
to dispose, ordering to saddle horses for ten good fellows, but Elen
Gluzdovna stopped it:
- Only the bodyguard, more it is necessary nobody.
- How so?. - the old man of courage threw up the hands. - And thin people,
hour is not equal, you will meet?.
Knesinka who was running up a porch to put on, looked it up and down:
- That time your ten good fellows protected me? Or it is one?.
Also was behind a door, and the boyar, without having an opportunity to ottrepat it as
it ought, for an ear, splashed out irritation on the Wolfhound:
- Well, veins...
The wolfhound looked to him in eyes and answered:
- I consider too, the voivode that ten soldiers would be more reliable. But time
madam told, so to be on this. And with you business - to track ours,
that nobody offended her...
Brothers Dashing with envy looked in a back to the Wolfhound leaving with
knesinka for gate. They understood that this honor will be entrusted them still
very at a distant day.
Serko curved a mighty neck, measuredly thumping the grounded hoofs in
wooden pavement. If who попадя rushed on the city at a gallop,
master-mostniki the broken croakers would hardly get ready to re-make, and
citizens would completely be ruined, raising money for repair of streets under the
fences. Because in the city it was from olden days forbidden to let horses at a gallop
everything, except heroes and urgent messengers. The wolfhound saw how scattered
chips from under hoofs when Luchezar rushed with suite. Knesinka, respecting
pradedovsky establishment, went slowly.
Kind galiradets welcomed the monarchess, bowed to her,
receded after the journey, waved following. Fell intermittently attention and to the Wolfhound. To it
it was once polite to bow in reply as it was done by a knesinka. And even
to think of how these people quite recently with a grin looked back on
it going to order a sheath. He sat in a saddle, precisely a cat before
mouse hole, and on shoulders under a leather cover quietly squeaked
chain armor, and at a saddle the equipped onions hung in naluch. The wolfhound looked
street люд, holding hands at a zone belt. Hands involuntarily moved,
when across to a knesinka the young son of the baker directed. Fellow's shoulders
the wide sling of the tray which is filled up with tasty smelling cookies twisted and
pies. Knesinka took pie and told something to the seller without mustache,
having nodded towards the bodyguard. The fellow receded, passing silvery
mare, the tray also stretched to the Wolfhound. Venn took a small roll with
poppy also threw to the seller грошик. Was not enough yet, to be treated for nothing.
The boy dexterously, on the fly, picked up a money and hurried away, held apart
lawful pride. Not later than tomorrow all street will run together to buy
to try fancy bread from the furnace from which the knesinka did not disdain!. It is so
also did not learn that too quick movement towards to a knesinka quite could
to cost it life.
The wolfhound pinched off a piece of a roll and gave Mysha.
In the middle of the summer on Galirad, sometimes, damp suffocating fell
heat, but was this d
ay at all not such is. The breeze drove on the sky
small white clouds. Flying shadows slid on the blossoming meadows,
it is weightless ran across deep Sveta’s and hurried afar on tops
the woods which were becoming blue on that coast. Such days by itself sink down in memory and
then are remembered, precisely blessing of Gods.
- Where you want to go, madam? - the Wolfhound when asked
city gate and большак with chains of loaded carts remained behind.
- To the Foggy Rock! - having turned back, the knesinka answered. Also explained: -
From there the sea, islands and all city is visible. I there was not long ago.
The wolfhound caught himself on what admires it. She sat in a saddle
surely and directly, eyes sparkle, gentle cheeks blushed from the sun and
fresh wind, small hands strong hold reins prompt
mares... It is possible to imagine what was her mother warrior.
The wolfhound shook the head and told:
- No, madam. Painfully far and place deaf. Clean forehead of a knesinka
from a bridge of the nose to a silver nimbus the wrinkle crossed out: bodyguard
refused to obey!. So, there is also it. Gray eyes
unexpectedly inflamed enthusiasm:
- My Snowflake of bystry... I will jump, you will not catch up! The wolfhound looked on
it without smile.
- Perhaps and bystry, madam, - he told at last. Knesinka was lop-sided
on the lasso hanging at it at a saddle. She saw how he throws it. It
sighed:
- You, the Wolfhound to see, to me saved life in order that I am
hung... All right, there is farther on the river the nice creek is and the city
to see...
Veins nodded and touched heels of a stallion.
The place appeared really nice. A grassy clearing on
the sublime river coast surrounded the mighty old pines which expanded on
open space not so much up, how many in width. Yes, good place. And
closely imperceptibly you will not be selected, and from a distance you will not painfully shoot.
Under the coast, behind a narrow strip of small sand, spacious lay
creek, hardly trevozhimy breeze. The long cape, on which crest in a row,
precisely landed, stood identical trees, fenced off a creek from
currents. In the dark mirror reflecting heavenly blue white lay
stars of water lilies. And in the distance and the truth proud watchtowers were seen
capital Galirad.
