“And… did he start loving me?” Arel asked in a trembling voice.
“I chose you,” Nikto answered. “And he… fell in love. He loved you all. And through him I too.”
“Why did he love me? After all, I beat him and humiliated him, fucked him.”
“Well, Arel, you yourself didn’t notice, but in fact you treated him well. And he saw so few people, spoke little.”
“Did he even see me?”
“Yes. He can see a little with my eyes. If I let him. If I let him, he can say something through me. He can see and feel everything, but just cannot do anything at the same time. I can connect and disconnect with him in any way.”
“It's like sex.”
“Do you want it like that?”
“Yes. You entered my body. I felt it and didn’t resist. And you can enter my body and use it, I will only be happy.”
Nikto hugged his prince:
“Meanwhile this is not necessary, I'm used to being blond.” He chuckled. “I am a white half-breed. And you, noble black, I want to see next.”
“But you’re not going to leave like this again?” Arel asked, hugging him back, stroking him affectionately, looking into his eyes like a devoted dog. “I don’t want it.”
“Arel! You've been with him many times. I have gone many times and left you with him. However, I pumped him with drugs, but…”
“Don't! Don’t do it anymore! I'm asking you!”
“Sometimes I need to leave, a part of me remained in my world. I live several lives at once. It is difficult for a human to understand this…”
“I understand. But you may not always leave completely. Leave at least a small part of yourself in order to still control him.”
“I may.”
“Then just do it! And now, now squeeze him out altogether, let him not see, hear nothing and feel nothing!”
And Nikto, putting him on his back, laughed:
“Good. I will punish him for making you so upset.”
“Now I hate your scars too. Now I also see them as your defeat. I hate him! For crippling you! He made you an outcast. I want to see the real you, I want!”
“Everything has its time. If you want, we will tie the body, and I will go out, and you will fuck him and do whatever you want.”
“No. I don't want to fuck him! I don’t want anything. He's gone. He doesn’t exist. I don't want to see him again, do it!”
“I will try,” Nikto hissed and inserted into the prince.
Later they went downstairs to the living room, to Lis and Karina. And Karina asked Nikto to talk to her in private too. Nikto agreed.
“What do you want to ask me? About your brother again?” Nikto looked pretty calm, he poured himself and her wine.
“No. Will you help me?”
“I remember how you hated me, maddened. You only liked to fuck with me, yes, it attracted you, and you couldn’t resist. You love a sex. You like sleeping with different men. You are not one of those women who strive for a family, have children and raise them. You are like a lone she-wolf, a predator, you know how to stand up for yourself and walk in search of adventure.”
“I love Lis. If you take Arel, I want to stay with Lis. And I will be a faithful wife. And give birth to children if I can. Am I doing whatever is necessary? You let Dony go and she made her life well. You told me then: “She did everything that needs to be done.” I didn't understand these words, now I understand. Am I doing whatever it takes?”
“But what about the salvation of your brother?”
“It was probably a stupid idea. Like a lot of stupid ideas and actions before. But I will gladly try to persuade him more. He just lived a little and doesn’t understand anything. For him, perhaps, the throne and power, love is an empty phrase. I will explain to him that this is important to us if he wants us to be happy.”
