«A goat would be better. The king whispered. – My royal Highness gives you Victor conqueror of heights and hearts (and the name suits you, scoundrel – the king whispered) islands from the coast to the land of Lamias. There are fertile lands, pleasant hardworking people. At the same time, you will collect taxes for a hundred years and send them to my treasury. There are some problems there, the pirates are trapped, but you will quickly defeat them, and you will live there with my daughter («away from me») and a friend who is quick to kill. «The King has not forgotten him, either. – If you defeat the pirates («I hope not»), you can expand your empire by taking over the Lamia country («they’ll have a strong man who’ll beat you up, beast.») A corresponding letter will be sent to their country. Also take Herman («I don’t need such a disgrace, everyone will know that he couldn’t protect the princess»), he is a worthy warrior, pay him well, because he still has to pay the debt for the pike that he broke. «God’s Peak» is a national treasure and is very expensive, almost priceless, but you are very generous and will not leave your servant without payment, two hundred million gold will be a normal payment. Herman’s face went white at the amount. – And now leave me with my grief, forgive me with joy («I need to drink kvass»). The King left the room. The entire palace could hear the knocks and screams of the monarch’s despair. My husband was followed by his wife, who gave me a quick peck on the forehead.
