Chapter 16

The Wedding

“HIS LORDSHIP THE MARQUIS of Xiao found several disguised underground passages, which led to bases of Black-Bookmen from the Shell,” Pavel reported. “Everything points to them being the ones who helped the ghouls establish these distribution points.”

I drummed my fingers on the table in silence. The Shell, then. It seemed that my brother had miscalculated. He had strengthened ties with Lucifer’s Black-Bookmen and used their strength for his own benefit. In the end, however, they helped the ghouls put down deep roots through the Empire of the Rus.

“You may go,” I said as I closed my eyes. I felt utterly exhausted. My wedding was scheduled for the next day, and it couldn’t be canceled. Delegations from all the countries of the world had already arrived, and I was tired of hearing their tongue-in-cheek condolences on my brother’s death. High-level Faceters were trickling back to Moscovia, but we still didn’t have anywhere near enough people.

“Hey!” Boris rushed into my office. He jumped up into my arms and asked: “Are we gonna be here for a while?”

“You mean in the capital, or in the Empire of the Rus?”

“Both. You didn’t forget that we’re supposed to go back to the World of the Twelve, did you? I miss my grandpa and my friends. I haven’t seen them in a long time...” Boris looked sad. Watching the warm familial relations that were growing in our collective home made him start to miss his own family.

“I need time,” I said as I scratched Boris behind the ear. “We’re heading to the Islands of the Angles soon to meet with Annabelle. And it’s anyone’s guess what might happen there. What if I die? Who’s going to protect Mike? We need to do everything we can to make sure the Empire doesn’t collapse after we die.”

“Man, everything you talk about is so depressing,” Boris said as he turned away from me. “We’re not going to die. And everything’s going to be fine. So when are we going back to the World of the Twelve?”

“I don’t know. We need to get stronger to break through the Goddess’ barrier.”

“Will we stop getting stronger after we do that? I’m starting to feel like this is never going to end.”

“Let’s survive this meeting with Annabelle first,” I said with a bitter chuckle.

“Okay. In that case, I’m going. If we’re leaving soon, I’m gonna try to be nicer to the little sicko.”

Boris jumped out of my hands and ran off. The neverending pursuit of power... Artyom had written something like that in his books. I shook my head, driving away these superfluous thoughts. It was time to focus on matters of more immediate importance.

As soon as I turned to the report, however, my Rabbot vibrated. I read the message and sighed with relief. All the Patriarchs were returning to the capital. That meant that the Stunnings and the Belovs had managed to complete their task. But the message also said that the Patriarchs wouldn’t be arriving until the next day — the day of the wedding.
