Karina drank it in one gulp.
“You don't look like a snoop,” said Zara, “however, I’m saying that all the documents are in order. I am a free city dweller now. I wish the kingdom of heaven to my lord. And let him feast with the Gods at the same table forever!”
“He freed all his slaves?”
“Yes. I was very lucky,” Zara drank her glass too:
“Some more?”
Karina nodded.
“The old man was very kind.”
“I know that your documents are in order, and this person made sure that you did not have problems with the law. Well, only if you yourself don’t make them.”
Zara raised her thickly blackened eyebrows:
“I am not looking for adventures.”
“I hope so. Friends should also be chosen with caution.”
“Clear. I have practically no friends. Rather, I don’t have them at all, with friends it’s only an extra mess, I know this, life has taught me.”
“No doubt.”
“Well, so which of my friends did you come to talk about? I have nothing to hide.”
“Do you know Atley Alis?”
Zara wrinkled her nose, remembering.
“He is calles Lis,” Karina remarked curiously and wondered if Zara noticed how treacherously her voice trembled.
“Ah! Lis!” Zara laughed. “He’s a scum! But charming! No. He is not my friend! And not even a buddy. He dropped in a couple of times, gave a long song and dance.” She abruptly moved closer to Karina, causing her to involuntarily recoil.
“He promised that he would promote me and make me the King’s mistress. He said he had influential friends in the palace, everything was a complete chatter!” Zara stood up abruptly, again pouring herself a glass and lighting another cigarette, “Where is all his promised?! Chatterbox! There’s only one benefit from him – at least he fucks well. Beautifully takes a woman… Hey! Are you leaving?! Did I say something wrong? Who are you?”
“Heck!” Said Zara to herself, when Karina hastily ran out the door, “Was it a snoop, or his girlfriend? Oh shit!”
And she laughed.
Chapter eight
The ball (the beginning)
“No,” Karina raised her voice, “I don't believe you!”
“Believe me,” Clive Gabriel grimaced in a smile, he was sitting in her room now, as at home, drinking strong coffee with alcohol and bulging his already bulged eyes. And he also was saying terrible things.
