Kamily tried not to catch the eye of the new Archon Palien but she wanted to know when Erin would return and she visit him in one of the halls of the palace.

"Oh, and here is the Queen Bee! - He turned to her with a haughty smile in his spacious robe. - Do you like this beautiful Palace?"

"I don't want you make me the Queen Bee… I don't need this status," - Kamily said indignantly looking defiantly at the Commander.

"Rejection is not accepted, - Palian replied mockingly flashing the turquoise of his eyes. - You have to take the title after construction is completed and hear an oath from your lieges. It's good that you are visiting me. I have to explain how the Queen should rule and what are her duties."

"Now I would like to know where Erin is? Stop holding onto him!"- Kamily demanded angrily.

"Oh, Erin. He is my favourite. You know I admire your chosen ones. You always take the best. Such syrinxes would be appreciated on Xantari. So talented those young gods! But Erin is in no hurry to return to you, he really likes the Fleet by my efforts."

"Are you taking revenge on me?"

"Why should I take revenge on you? You are now in a different body, you have a another life, our union has long been terminated. I will find another wife who will not disdain me like you did in a past life."

"And over all these years you haven't found someone else?"

"By the way you will help me find her here on Zaria."

"Do you need a simple human girl?" - Kamily was surprised.

"Nevertheless the princesses have been reborn and live among people. Their fathers killed and the poor things know nothing about their spiritual heritage. We need to fix this. You must bring them to me, and I will choose one for myself. That's an order!"

"How can I find them?"

"Selestra, Avilena, Farenya — their real names. Their destiny is to live among the syrinxes."

Kamily with unhappy look loaded by heavy thoughts.

"One of the main duties of the Queen Bee is the prosperity of our race, - Palien continued haughtily. - To do this you need to increase the population. You will be the mother of your folk, and the princesses will help you. Children will be from different fathers for a change."

"Do I have to give birth kids?" - Kamily was outraged.

"What bothers you? You are now pregnant and you don't even notice it," - Palien chuckled. - You are already used to male attention. Many of them have been close to you already, haven't they? But you don't remember anything. Ah, they are pranksters! They took care of you and erased your memory about their wild tricks."

Kamily's face twitched in disgust.

"You don't like something? - The Commander smiled wickedly. - Didn't they tell you that you are now a delight for a thousand men? In our society this is the norm but I do not argue that it is difficult for a former human to get used to this way of life. Orgy sounds terrible to you! But what can you do? The guys are hungry for female affection, and you are not mentally ready for this at all! There was no need to run away from Xantari, where your status was very high and your whims had to be endured ..."

"Why do I have to serve such a huge number of men and give birth to every child? - Kamily's indignation knew no bounds. - There are women among people, why not use them?"

"So come on, use them, make them live with the syrinxes," -  Palien pressed hard.

"I don't want to do all this."

"You passed the initiation, became an immortal forever young sorceress from an ordinary woman. What an honor you've been given! It was your wish! You have to pay for such pleasures. You joined our ranks and now follow orders!"

"I did not know about the consequences, no one warned me how I would have to pay. And it turns out I live among rapists and deceivers. Is everything arranged on Xantari as well?

"No one there considers it is violence, - the Commander smiled slyly. - And any woman is happy to become the mother of a new syrinx. There is no problem with the Thrive."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then exile, loss of memory and a short life. You will be reborn as a person, we will find you and all over again in an endless circle, until you reconcile. Immortals can wait a long time for the taming of the 'radiantess'."

Kamily could not listen to all this and ran out of the palace. Tears gushed from her eyes.
