Ramies stared intensely at his wife, waiting for her to go to bed.
"Actually, I don't understand," he said loudly. "How were you able to get pregnant from him?"
"What are you talking about?" Avilena asked confused.
"Gedeon is too young, how is this possible?" Ramies grumbled annoyingly.
"What? He shared his crystal?" She exclaimed in horror.
"Why did you seduce this guy? He didn't want to! Now he have to raise son in his age. Don't even think about putting the responsibility of taking care of your child on me."
"And what should I do now? I didn't plan to have children at all; I don't have time to take care of them. You told me that crystals for reproduction are formed only at the age of three hundred years, why does he has it?"
Avilena stared irritably at the clairvoyant, waiting for clear explanations.
Ramies sat in a trance for a short time and snorted indignantly:
"Here you go! I had no idea that Gedeon was capable of reaching such a level. Why did I tease him that he was a worthless half-breed?"
"He withstood my kiss, and only vamps or gods are capable of this,"- Avilena added. "What is the difference between you?"
"God is a special status of the Essence, earned over millions of years of living in different worlds with its own set of abilities. When such a Soul incarnates into the body of a syrinx, age does not matter much. He is capable of reproducing once powerful magical forces enter his body."
"Is Deo someone's involtation?"
"Yes, but I don't know whose, and he's definitely not the Son of the Source," Ramies concluded gloomily. "This entity entered our world without being a syrinx."
"How did he incarnate if he was not invited? Is it possible?"
"He was accepted on some conditions. This is none of our business! It's bad that I didn't immediately understand what kind of creature this Gedeon was. The point is that they reset it, the memory will still return to it someday."
"Is it really such a strong entity?"
"I underestimated him, now I see that he dived into us from the higher worlds for some secret reason. He's looking for someone with us. That is why he is so irreconcilable and stubborn, does not tolerate being pushed around, Gods are always distinguished by such qualities."
"If he is fertile, does that mean he can marry the princess?"
"It turns out that it is so! He should be allowed, since he has acquired such a status. Luanlia and Zarmina will now cling to him with their claims. It's better not to tell them about it; they'll do without such a gift."
"I was entrusted with raising him, and as a result I became pregnant,"- Avilena chucked bitterly. "Is it really impossible to get rid of the unwanted crystal?"
Ramies frowned and became indignant:
"How do such thoughts even come into your head? You talk so heartlessly. Have you forgotten that children are sacred to us? Since this has happened, then be kind and carry this creature out with love."
"Aren't you annoyed that I'm pregnant with Deo's baby?"
"It's my own fault for not warning you. I should have figured this out sooner, then this wouldn't have happened. My carelessness led to me missing Gedeon's transformation. I must check all beings living with us to avoid unwanted problems."
"I didn't even know that you had such responsibilities," Avilena was surprised.
"They used to be there when I was in the fleet and researching the spiritual origins of the royals, but out of habit I continue to study my surroundings. I am the reader of Essences. My clairvoyance allows me to penetrate the veil of the soul and sense the presence of otherworldly beings. All princesses, Lariel, Gedeon and Yarion are ancient souls."

The news of impending fatherhood caused unexpected delight in Gedeon. He immediately rushed to hug Avilena, surprised by his joyful reaction.
"Does this happen just from one proximity?" The young man laughed, sliding his hands over her stomach.
"Syrinxes are very fertile when they mature, but you are special and can become a father at an early age because of your magical powers," Avilena explained. "But I didn't know you were capable of this. It was so careless of me to seduce you."
"Are you upset?" He looked sympathetically into her eyes.
Avilena did not answer and reached out to his lips, succumbing to the charm of young man.
"Am I really that attractive?" He asked, kissing her. "Should I marry you now?"
She laughed slightly:
"Of course not. I already have two husbands. If you really want to get married, then you can make Zarmina happy with it, she has been dreaming about you for a long time."
"It's unlikely that Imarinis will be happy about this. He pulled her away from me and called me a punishment. I want to find the girl with whom we had love."
"Do you recall her?"
"She comes to me in a dream and calls me into her arms. She is so beautiful and gentle. She has blue eyes and straw color hair. I haven't yet remembered what happened between us, but my heart is beating desperately at the thought of her. There is no doubt that I loved her."
Biting her lip, Avilena thought and said:
"She appears to you, but you can't tell me anything, I don't want to anger the Rulers."
"What do I need to do to revive my memories?"
"They didn't discuss this issue, and I was appointed your curator so that I could correct your behavior. You were ordered to please the princesses of Xantari."
"Oh! Is it really necessary to do this? How can I talk to one of the Rulers and ask for a meeting with that same girl?" Gedeon looked at her pleadingly.
"I can ask them, but I doubt they will change their minds. She is a Xantarian princess and is being raised for the local nobility, who have long dreamed of her."
"So she will live on Xantari?"
"No way you get all the information out of me. It is forbidden to speak!" - Avilena snapped.
