shows. If is able. And he, most likely, is able. And whether it is reasonable at all
to humiliate it at "sister"...
Luchezar, of course, to fight there was not a fool. Venn understood at once, on
what opponent ran. The hero is not the city policeman,
yesterday's тестомес, not washed from flour yet. It is a soldier. And soldiers with
cradles it is brought up. To the knes beloved adopted son, if not the sworn brother.
The fighter from fighters, to any ratoborstvo trained. Luchezar was dexterous and
it is mighty... Here only why it moved as if morning after? Boyar
began to roar and rushed to be released... The wolfhound held it without special
cunnings, though hardly.
Fortunately, fight continued some moments. Knesinka Elen
fearlessly ran away to them from a porch. To separate the dogs fighting,
it was thought to the Wolfhound. It pushed away the boyar and itself receded back, hard
breathing. Now she orders to clean up forever to it from eyes. Also will be,
undoubtedly, it is right. She saw it before only three times. And Left it
the sister calls. To tell it about an old velkhinka the Wolfhound not
gathered.
- Go, Luchezar, - the young ruler told suddenly. - Go
to.
And the boyar left. He shivered from rage and looked around continually. But
did not add the word any more.
The wolfhound looked in a back to a knesinka and too was silent, expecting deserved
punishments. And here... at first he felt well familiar in one nostril
dampness, then raised a hand, saw a bright red drop on a finger and understood,
that Left, that without knowing, after all revenged it. Short, but fierce
tension made itself felt. So quite often happened since in
to stone quarry to it crippled a nose. And always it happened in most
inopportune moment. Swearing about itself, the Wolfhound pulled out from zone
pocket always the rag stored there also began to push it in a nose.
Well still, in time bethought and did not profane blood a porch,
brand new presented cover...
Knesinka turned back to it, and eyes at her were rounded.
- Forgive, madam, - it is guilty the Wolfhound, and really spoke
ready to vanish into thin air.
The girl quickly inspected the yard, - whether sees who, - and is resolute
seized him by a hand;
- Let's go!
Her fingers did not agree at it on a wrist, but handshake was strong. It
the vein on a porch, then at a door further in rooms dragged.
- Nanny! - she called on the run. - Bring water cold!. And you
sit down. - It concerned already to the Wolfhound, and he obediently sat down on a bench at
entrance.
The old woman looked out of other room, looked at it, again
disappeared and at last left with a big-bellied clay jug and big clay
bowl.
- It is good заступничек... - she grumbled in a low voice, but so that it
heard. - Nurses are necessary...
- Throw back the head, - the knesinka to the Wolfhound ordered.
- And you go, the baby, - the old woman drove it. - Go, be not soiled.
She approved a bowl at it on a lap, splashed ice water, pulled
Wolfhound for hair, forcing to bend down below, moistened a rag and
put to it to a bridge of the nose. Then it is tenacious grabbed by a middle finger and hardly
drew a thread on bottom edge of a nail.
- Thanks, the grandmother, - he murmured nasally. The person, at which
there is from a nose blood, is pathetic and very ugly. Will expel, with despair thought
Wolfhound, watching as the drops falling in a bowl thin. As is will expel. Yes
also will correctly make. True priobidet a team, with the boyar started a quarrel,
and now also a shameless show offended. On what to it...
- How are you?. - the knesinka asked. The wolfhound raised eyes. She looked
on it with sincere compassion. - How, it is better for you?. Yes from what though?.
The wolfhound reluctantly answered:
- Broke once, since then and happens.
- The juveniles are shameless, - the old woman grumbled. - Besprochy. In total on taverns,
to in total you to wave fists... Would be not present to stay at home, the father with mother
to please...
The wolfhound kept silent. Blood at last calmed down; it carefully cleaned
nostril and just in case tired out inside a fresh rag. If not really
to look narrowly, from outside and you will not notice. The nurse carried away a bowl and
towel. The wolfhound got up, and here the knesinka noticed the chain armor which was seen
from under a cover.
- It what for? - she was surprised. - From whom? Remove, people kind
will ridicule. Absolutely, will tell, mind went crazy...
Speaking so, it slightly reddened, and the Wolfhound understood that leisure
chatter after all touched it, Honestly, what will only not be told sharp on
language galiradets, having noticed at a favourite knesinka of the bodyguard-venna,
equipped, precisely now in fight! Still, will laugh, a helmet would fasten. It is possible
to think, three times a day attack it! The wolfhound undid a belt and
pulled down from itself a cover, then and a chain armor.
- Put here, - the knesinka told. - Let's return, you will take away.
- Efforts to you because of me, madam, - the Wolfhound told. Knesinka only
waved a hand:
- It seems in a stable, I to the groom ordered a horse to you what it is necessary to pick up.
The wolfhound bowed and left.
When the suite began to gather, he noticed among rusogolovy
solvenn of swarty dark halisunets, portly and dressed at all not
in a military way. The wolfhound wanted to learn who is such, but here just
appeared It is abrupt, and veins approached it at once.
- Hi, the voivode, - he told Right. - It is advisable to Peremolvitsya.
- About what? - asked It is abrupt discontentedly. The wolfhound recalled him slightly in
from the others also told the party:
- I want to ask you, the voivode... When you get up at a chair of madam,
keep one step further to the right, than you usually stand.
- What?. - darkening the person, began to roar It is abrupt.
- Wait a moment to be angry, - the Wolfhound it is conciliatory raised a palm. Then
began to draw on the earth a boot sock. - Watch, here a chair
monarchesses. I will get up here that to see everything, but also on eyes especially not
to climb. If you slightly are removed, it will be more convenient to me.
At the boyar moustaches began to move:
- And you went, the freeloader...
The wolfhound remembered the comparison which dawned on him recently and quietly answered:
- I am a dog sentry, the voivode. Where I will lay down, there and all right if only guarded.
He already finished speaking to the boyar in a back.
Thick halisunets Illad was a doctor. He got accustomed in fortress still
since children's illnesses of a knesinka, still used it on a measure
also considered need an indispensable debt to accompany Elen
To Gluzdovn on all departures like today's.
- Madam is sick with something? - the Wolfhound pricked up the ears. Knesinka looked
healthy and strong, but you never know...
- What you ask about! - Illad was indignant. - As it is not a shame to you!
- It is not a shame, - the Wolfhound told. - If madam is sick, I owe it
nobility. I protect it.
- Madam stays in good health, and yes will keep her Lunar Sky
those ninety nine more years, - having pursed lips, halisunets answered.
- Then why... - without having thought there began a Wolfhound, but the doctor annoyancely
set from place to place a painted leather box and interrupted:
- Then, why and you! Only from me, unlike you, sometimes
there is a sense!
The groom Spel prepared for the Wolfhound of very good horse. It was large
gray stallion of fighting segvansky breed. Rough legged, unperturbably
quiet, such horses seemed sluggish and rather heavy, but were
are capable on the first sign to rapid and powerful breakthroughs and in addition
were famous for comprehension. That is just the fact that it is necessary. Appeasable horse
took from a palm purposely the laid-up top crust, died in a face and it was rubbed by a forehead
about a shoulder vein. Here also got on. The wolfhound clapped a horse on mighty
to brawny neck, took by the bridle and led outside, seen off
approving look of the servant.
When saddled, the Wolfhound wanted to help a knesinka of Elen -
the monarchess dressed in a long dress went by a horse sideways, opiry
both legs on a special plate, - but the boyar Krut, just without having pushed away
the bodyguard, stepped by and itself lifted "daughter" in a saddle. There is a Wolfhound
it ozlitsya and resolved that after arrival on the square will rise where
will consider it necessary, and let Right makes of itself a laughing-stock if it is sick
hunting. But the old boyar, having easily jumped on black, furiously
looked back to the bodyguard and pushed a horse with heels, forcing it
to recede from a white mare of a knesinka, and at the Wolfhound felt better at once on
heart.
Former skills were remembered by itself. As soon as left for gate,
the attentive look of the Wolfhound a grasp slid on roofs, on tops
strong timbered fences, on persons of the galiradets who left
to greet the monarchess. How many repeated to it that supposedly
the stranger, especially the will not begin to attempt upon it, the Wolfhound at all
was on the lookout. And, generally speaking, without chain armor felt naked.
Once he watched how protected governors in big
cities of Halisuna and Sakkarema. If it happened to these lords to leave to
to the people, on all roofs placed the shooters driving an arrow in
перстенек for two hundred steps. Also instructed at the slightest suspicion
to lower a bowstring without excess thoughts. And among servants there is a good few
always there were disguised guards... And the people knew everything and perceived everything as
due. Here not that. To act this way here meant fatally to offend
galiradets. One him to it, maybe, still will be forgiven...
Here also think, the bodyguard how to behave that also a knesinka
to protect, and with the city not to quarrel her...
At Volkodav Square threw reins to the servant (that mechanically picked up them
and only then wondered why a vein most not to take away the
horse, and at the same time and seigniorial) and at once rose beside a knesinka, behind right
shoulder. The boyar Krut, snuffling and biting gray-haired moustaches, went slightly ahead and
more to the right. The wolfhound with gratitude noted that the old soldier sharp-sightedly
surveyed that part of a circle which it could not see. Luchezar-Levy walked
on the other hand. It seems, he decided to behave with the Wolfhound only
in the way which to it remained; in general not to notice it. On extreme
to measure, in public.
Having bowed to the people, the knesinka of Elen fell to an ancient chair.
Sang a silver horn, and the Wolfhound fixed the eyes on the first
the approached merchant. It was tall, mighty put, black as soot
monomatanets whose reed ships moored at pier before
dawn. The merchant was dressed in a long-skirted yellow-red attire,
edged by speckled fur; at it in the homeland it was much warmer in the winter,
than in Galirada in the summer. The black perfectly spoke on-solvennski and held
the speech, without tolmach. It brought on the bargaining a tree - black, yellow and
tinctorial, - and also ivory and twenty three black diamonds. Two
such diamond lay in beautiful wooden caskets which it brought
to knesinka of Elen. That already pulled out a round wooden label to hand
to it as a sign of permission to trade, but here monomatanets loudly slapped in
pink palms, and two servants carefully took out a high basket forward,
weaved out of a chubby local cane. The merchant grew stout in a smile, shining
dazzling teeth, and, having removed a striped cover, started in a basket
long hands. Then became straight and stretched to a knesinka a clay pot. In
pot the bush all covered with white snowflakes sat an ordinary-looking look
small flowers. Probably, under the local sun to a bush it was cold: it
covered a big glass bubble, not differently, blown purposely for the sake of it
case. Monomatantsa not without reason were famous as skillful glass makers...
The ruler of the big and rich city in a trice forgot everyone
importance. She threw up the hands and fluttered out from a chair as if most
the ordinary girl whom the kind friend indulged with poppy gingerbread.
- Oh, Shanaka-sao! Sanibakati of a larimb... It meant - here pleased,
so pleased. It appears, she spoke on-monomatanski not worse, than the merchant
Shanaka - on-solvennski. And, seemingly, fostered a garden from any overseas
greens. Not movably standing Wolfhound hardly considerably strained: huge
the black gave a pot with a bush to servants and friendly embraced run up
knesinka.
- This is my son, Gluzdovna, purposely for you found. Two days climbed!
The smile Gore loves much, it is a lot of sun and... e-e-e... that birds
drop!
It had a loud voice. In the crowd which met to take a look, was heard
laughter.
After monomatanets stepped veins from a genus of the Titmouse into the outspread carpet.
The wolfhound felt it just the same prickly look, as all
the others. Venn bowed to a knesinka the black sables well-known
silvery foxes and big to the qadi of cucumbers which his tribe was able to do
to salt absolutely especially, to all neighbors on opprobium. On
to opinion of the Wolfhound, the smell from a tub went marvelous. Out of the corner of the eye he noticed how
Luchezar wrinkled a thin nose.
Time went. Trade guests replaced each other and left, is proud bearing
treasured labels. Knesinka Elen for everyone found the kind word, and
The wolfhound noted that she with many, not with one Shanaka, talked on
their native languages. It is clear, it flattered merchants. Also induced them to arrive
still yes with itself to allure others.
The bright morning sun shone the Wolfhound in the right eye. From long
standings on one place began to grow heavy legs. It became slightly
to rock from a heel on a sock, dispersing blood. He saw that a knesinka
it was happy with rich gifts. Gifts will carry in fortress, one -
in a treasury, others - on kitchen, and
use then as it is necessary. On
life and awards to a brave team, on repair of kromovy walls, on weapon and
armor for distribution to city ratnik, happen suddenly to be at war...
Midday approached. The wolfhound again envied gapers from
local, to manumissions to stand or leave, and was glad to the fact that series of merchants
ran low.
Penultimate the young native of far left to bow to a knesinka
Sho-Sitayna, copper-faced, with a long tail light, precisely tow, a hair and
slanting blue eyes. Its country lay overseas, further away
Arrantiada, was also famous for the remarkable herds grazed in vast
steppes. There did not build the big ships, and this sho-sitaynets, one of
the first in Galirada, the desperate solvennsky seaman brought here. Wolfhound
saw how the knesinka marked something on waxed dosochke-Caere. Probably,
decided to award an enterprising korabelshchik.
It had juniper Tsera, with a beautiful carved pattern from
the bound stalks on other party. The wolfhound made out it therefore
that it held a dosochka on a lap, a forehead from the sun down. To Caere on
silk twisted cord it was suspended wrote - bone, with navershiy in
type of a rake for deleting of the spoiled letters.
Sho-sitaynets, of course, did not know language, and helped it hired толмач.
The benefit of the people able to speak various adverbs and wishing subjects
to earn, in Galirada there was much. An only week ago, looking for works,
The wolfhound itself also from despair thought to go to tolmach, but soon
gave up. A snout did not leave, explained to it.
For some reason his look continually came back to the person translating
for the young merchant. It was the man what in any crowd from hundred hundred:
low, reddish, uncertain age (anything from thirty
to fifty), with the features some greased, not memorable.
Such with identical success will descend both for a segvan, and for a velkh, and for
solvenna. Perhaps, for this reason the Wolfhound loving the nobility, with whom
deals, looked narrowly at it more attentively. Something confused him in
this person, but here that?. His clothes?. Having seen enough on very
floridly putting on galiradets, especially after the meeting with that old man on
the sea coast, the Wolfhound would hardly be surprised even to sakkaremsky trousers
at мономатанскйх sandals. No, not that. Reddish small was dressed quite
