"Take his advice - never meet Lariel," Irinel insisted mockingly.
"Deo said the same thing, but it won't scare me. I am resistant to the charms of the syrinxes and you cannot easily drag me into their arms."
"If his son seduced you so quickly, then what can we say about his father..." Irinel drawled mysteriously. "They say he visited a dozen colony planets and won many women's hearts. He won't let any princess pass by. Therefore, if you don't want to cry later and suffer from separation from him, it's better not to catch his eye."
"Is Avilena telling you all this?" Princess asked.
"Yes, she is his best friend. They often travel together and have fun among the colonial nobility. Therefore, they both do not understand Gedeon's stubbornness in refusing this lifestyle. Avilena was very surprised when I told her about all the prince's discontent and demands to return him to Zaria."
"By the way, you both stayed here too long!" The princess said sharply. - "You can return to your homes, now you don't need to keep an eye on Deo, since he's passed out."
Tarmio and Irinel looked at each other and quickly grabbed her into their arms from both sides, covering her with kisses.
"We're not going anywhere," Tarmio whispered to her passionately. "We need your energy."
The princess realized with horror that she could not escape from the double grip.
"Let me go, perverts! I will tell the authorities about your affair and you will both be punished properly."
But they did not listen to her threats and continued their caresses.
"We are not doing anything bad to you. We both love you and there is nothing to punish us for. Everything related to the expression of love is now not condemned. You are very obstinate, Zarmina, and I despair because of your refusals. I, as the chosen one, have the right to be with you..."
"Why are you rejecting us?" Irinel sighed pitifully, pressing tightly against her. "Why are we worse than your favorite? I've been dreaming about you for so long."
She had nothing to answer and, tired of resisting, gave in under the pressure of double imposed caresses. The vampire's kiss brought an overwhelming bliss, and her stubbornness melted away in the hot hands of her persistent lovers.
Zarmina was unable to drive them out either the next morning or on other days. They tried in every possible way to appease her with intimate conversations and countless declarations of love, enveloping her with their annoying care and genuine adoration. Irinel seemed especially happy, and a blissful smile did not leave his lips: he finally gained access to his sister and enjoyed closeness with her.
The princess was surprised at herself that she allowed them too much in relation to herself. The triple alliance suddenly forced on her by two men did not suit her at all, and she decided to wait until they got tired of it all and get away from her. She tried very hard to offend and humiliate them, telling them all sorts of barbs and nasty things, but her lovers only laughed at her words, considering them jokes. Each time she left her home, she hoped not to see them again upon her return, but stubborn admirers continued to live in her tower.
Zarmina, desperate to change the situation, whiled away the days by sitting next to the sleeping Gedeon, holding his hand, and talking to him, trying to bring him back to consciousness.
***
One day, an unfamiliar green-eyed man suddenly appeared in the living room, greatly frightening the owner of the tower.
"I apologize for the unexpected intrusion, princess," the uninvited guest smiled welcomingly. "I am Lord Adivaris, I came by order of Rohen."
Zarmina stared at him in confusion.
"And what do you need?"
"My duty is to help princesses solve their family problems."
"This is the first time I've heard this! I have no family, just two clingy scoundrels that I can't seem to get out of my house."
Her lovers jumped into the living room at the noise.
"Adivaris!" Tarmio shouted angrily with an unkind expression on his face. "How did you get here?"
"Still can't stand me? It's time to forget the conflicts of a thousand years ago," his ancient rival said with a grin. "It's no good being angry with me for so long, especially given the current state of things. There has been a change of power and I am now your new Ruler, appointed by Rohen."
His words stunned everyone.
"And where did the Supreme Power, which ruled us for eternity, go?"
Tarmio asked incredulously.
"The four ancient ones voluntarily left their posts, generously leaving new generations of their descendants to transform the society of our great civilization," Adivaris stated mysteriously.
"I can't believe it!" Tarmio frowned. "Why is there no official statement?"
"Necessarily will! A general gathering for the nobility will take place in the next few days. I am now bringing to the attention of the Royals that I am now dealing with all matters of a personal nature."
"What does it mean?" Zarmina was indignant. "Will you interfere in my relationships with men?"
"I will certainly," the new Ruler said in a serious tone. "Princesses, as an important and irreplaceable part of our society, need constant support and guidance from leadership for a high standard of living among the Syrinxes. All problems those arise between you and the aristocrats are now resolved by me."
Zarmina frowned and blurted out:
"Then I bring to your attention that I do not need these two. They are perverts and force me to be intimate all the time. I am completely defenseless in front of them."
