"Mom, Mom, I found a brother!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 10:59

The little blonde wonder in the snow-white dress hung on the arm of the imposing beauty.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:39

"Where, my joy?" She softly mumbled back, crouching down beside her.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:39

The silver stitching of the dress touched the dust of the paved path, but the mistress of the precious garment was not concerned with material luxury - the happy smile of the green-eyed wonder was more valuable.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:40

"Over there!" She pointed with confidence at the fence with the cupboard. She noticed her mother's gaze and hid her finger behind her back. "A grey van with a small window." The girl barely moved this time, managing to indicate the exact position with a glance and a twist of her chin.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:41

"Amir," the lady turned her head slightly.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:41

The brown-haired man with the short, neatly trimmed black beard bowed his head, but did not budge. The five faceless, almost identical, sturdy boys in black suits ran off in the direction indicated.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:42

"And most importantly - rah-rah! And sparks all around!" Meanwhile, the little princess hurriedly shared, throwing her arms up in the air and spinning around her mother.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:42

The adult beauty, with a smile on her lips and a hidden longing in her eyes, was looking at the unimportant building at the edge of the clearing in the shadow of a huge circus tent. Shadows flashed under the structure, blocking all approaches and literally yanking the flimsy door open. One of the druzhina disappeared inside and reappeared a moment later - indeed, what's there to see in that nook? Sadness squeezed his heart - the vigilante shook his head negatively.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:44

"You imagined it, sweetheart," she stroked her daughter's hair, "your little brother isn't there."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:44

"But!" the girl frowned, but then it was as if the air had been blown out of her - she even hunched over a little. "I'll look, Mom. I'll find him!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:45

"You will, my dear." Mistress touched her forehead with her lips. "Would you like to go on a merry-go-round?"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:48

"No," the princess sniffed her nose. "Shall we go home?"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:49

"All right, but first we'll get you the tastiest ice cream!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:50

"That's great," she said, not happy at all, but the girl immediately corrected herself with a heartfelt, "Thank you!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:50

An ice cream man in a snow-white apron with a brightly colored fridge on wheels drove unobtrusively up to the couple. And inside the cooler, there was a lot!

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:51

The two adores, mature and young, walked slowly down the path towards the exit, circling the equally unhurried people, sometimes overtaking, sometimes letting themselves be overtaken. The ice cream melted slowly, in tiny pieces, in the girls' mouths. Behind them, also enjoying the ice cream, were six men, led by Amir, to whom the girl also generously bought ice cream. But they held the waffle cones more like knives, and they tore off pieces of ice cream when the girl turned to them - of course, smiling at them.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:53

"And still he was there," the girl muttered, more out of spite as she stopped in front of the black minivan.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:53

"It will come one day," her mother winked at her and gave her another kiss - on her adorable nose. "You're bound to find him."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 15:54

"Yeah," the princess nodded sourly, glanced in the direction of the park behind her, stepped resolutely towards the car (the door slid aside as if by magic), looked at a dozen toys neatly strapped in her seatbelt, and clung to a large plush rabbit.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:05

"Amir..."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:06

Uncle Amir gently pulled the girl aside and handed her the angular toy with a sincere smile.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:07

"Thank you!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:08

The princess as suddenly as bloomed a smile, froze, closed her eyes, and lost any emotion at all - as if she were asleep without dreaming. When she opened her eyes, she looked around carefully, stepped resolutely to the bench near the entrance, and hid the toy in the bushes behind her.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:08

"It's for my brother!" The young adorable girl stated categorically.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:09

"Good," her mother smiled sadly. "Amir, let's go."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:09

The princess immediately flew up to her uncle and demandingly extended her arms towards him, remembering to smile shyly and coyly.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:09

"Amir..." the older mistress snarled, but the uncle was already circling the happily squealing brat in his arms and then just as deftly placing her in the minivan seat, fastening the strap.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:10

It was as if the car had come to life: a second ago, there was no movement, and now two beautiful nannies were already grooming the young mistress, changing her shoes for soft slippers, wiping off the soiled cheeks. However, they did it silently and not touching, warily looking at the swarthy man near the car. Uncle Amir did not tolerate this kind of tenderness to the future warrior of the clan. And he did not care that the warrior was nine years old! But all their grumblings nannies wisely kept to themselves.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:12

The door slammed shut, cutting off the young wonder with inches of enchanted steel and glass from adult concerns. The minivan blasted quietly with a Volhvian engine, giving way to a long cigar limousine - for the mother of the mistress and her companion. As soon as the doors slammed shut, a kind of magic literally shackled the park's visitors - couples, family groups, and lonely romantics suddenly lost interest in their activities, cages with wondrous beasts and rides, took on a detached and focused expression, threw candy and ice cream, books and tickets into the bins and headed for the exit. Clerks and ticket takers carefully stripped off their uniforms and threw matching jackets over their shoulders. The branches on the trees trembled, shaking humanoid clusters of leaves and twigs with long and heavy rifles to the foot.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:14

In five minutes, most of the people had disappeared from the park - not into thin air, but into a dozen black cars that were loaded into a long black arrow of a mile-long motorcade. At the tip of that arrow, two turbocharged jeeps with oblique blades of blades were driving off to the side of the road to the roar of sirens everything that dared to come out to meet the head cars or was standing too close to the road. The prince of these parts would clearly not be pleased. That they had been to his town but hadn't come to visit, of course.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:16

Driving fast is still waiting. And waiting and silence produce a conversation.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:16

"I'm afraid for Ksyusha. It's like some kind of mania already. She's pointing her finger at the sky, and we're hurtling to the edge of the world," she said, looking out at the city flying by outside the window.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:17

"Just once a month," Amir clarified as he looked at the other side of the city. "The princess benefits from new experiences, new places."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:18

His voice sounded completely without any accent, low, with slight hoarseness, without any rush. It was easy to listen and lose the fervor.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:18

"But she is suffering!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:19

"We are all grieving," diplomatically replied the man, who cannot be called the head of security but whose life's work is to guard the princess.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:19

On the one hand, it allowed you to say anything. On the other, it was better to protect those who were inclined to believe you, trust you and treat you well.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:20

"Except for that b-bastard," the lady began to turn on him.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:20

"Your husband wished the best for the family and the family." Amir knew the words to say, which he would say not for the first time.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:21

"Ex! Ex-husband!" The woman says it as if she were spitting.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:22

"Raising an Oracle is always a pain and a search. The way you were brought up, Lady."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:22

"My mother was taken from me!" The angry-beautiful Fury hissed in a silent rage.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:23

"And you found her," the princess' bodyguard shrugged.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:23

"At sixteen! All that time I grew up among...! " The lady interrupted the angry retort and regained her sweet, slightly distracted appearance in a moment. "I can't let that happen to Ksenia."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:24

//You don't want to lose influence over your daughter," remained unspoken by the man's lips.

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:25

"I'm sure the princess will find her brother very quickly," Amir said instead. "She already knows he's alive. She can see the images around her."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:25

"Images with no date, fragments of places scattered around the world? What do you think my son will become? A traveler? Or an illiterate penniless tumbleweed?!"

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:26

"It means that your son will live a long life. Rejoice and give thanks to the Almighty."

Camrad_RIP 03.03.23 в 16:26

"Would that life be happy? I would feel more secure if the boy was in care," the lady whispered.
