he could no longer read her thoughts? Based on this assumption, the Princess's face brightened quite inappropriately.
    -         "Guria, take the wand out of your sleeve and give it to me," sounded the voice of the King at that instant.
    The Princess grimaced and handed the wand over. "No, I need to keep working on my curses. Nothing came of it."
    -         "You are my beloved and most capable daughter. Why do you want to surpass me?" Asked Gorr, raising one eyebrow. His black eyes looked quizzically at Guria.
    -         "I just want to become more and more perfect, daddy!"
    -         "You are already perfection. But if you want to beat me, beware the Great Lord of Groix!"
    -         "Come on, dad! I was thinking nothing of the sort," answered Guria.
    -         "Everything you were thinking is written right here," he tapped his daughter's forehead with his finger. "Go read "Lucifer's Legacy," it will be helpful to you," and Gorr left.
    Guria snapped her fingers, calling her servant. An ugly woman in a gray chlamys came in to the room.
    -         "Bring me some dryad herb, Sheila," ordered the Princess.
    -         "Your Highness, I was almost caught by the guard last time. They'll execute me if they discover I've been collecting the royal herb!" pleaded Sheila.
    -         "Well, if you don't bring it to me, I'll execute you right now!" called out Guria.
    The servant bowed, sobbed and disappeared behind the door.
    Guria kicked a chest that was standing against the wall. Today was obviously not her day! Her father saw through her trick in five minutes. There is no more of the royal magic herb... The door creaked open once more. A soft, pimply character in a gold-embroidered caftan came into the room. Guria looked at him and shrugged disdainfully.
    -         "Hello, sister of mine!" – he said in a quavering voice. He looked at the princess with his oily eyes. "How's life?"
    -         "Howbout you get out of here, Grino."
    -         "And what if I don't? What are you gonna do about it?" he laughed, showing his uneven teeth.
    -         "Go to hell!"  snorted Guria, pushing her smaller brother with all her might. But he stood strong, taking her by the arm and saying,
    -         You're gonna have to be more careful than that, witch!"
    Grino's pimply face soured. Anger swayed in his eyes.
    -         "You be more careful! You're talking to the future Queen!"
    -         Get out of here! Let go of my arm, freak!"
    -         You think you can do whatever you want because your mother is father's favorite wife? You just wait until Gorr dies..."
    -         "Let go!" Guria tried to leave. But Grino grabbed her and pinned her to the wall.
    -         "Don't be stubborn, now, Guria!" He whispered, pressing his wet lips to her cheek.  "Sister of mine!"
    Having understood that she was outmatched, the Princess sharply softened her demeanor. Grino, having tricked the Princess into resignation, loosened his grip. Just then, Guria kneed him between the legs.
    -         "Ooooooh! You witch!” howled the Prince, stooping.  "You'll be sorry! I'll lock you and your lanky mother up in the gray tower!"
    -         "Watch yourself, or I'll turn you into a dung beetle as I should have done a long time ago! Shouted Guria, pushing Grino away and slamming the door behind her. She wiped off her cheek and swore loudly.
    How she would relish turning Grino into a reptile! The heir to the throne of Groix! All he can do is snarf down food, sleep, and squeeze the servant-girls! He can't even hurt anything! And that's not even getting into higher magical mastery! But why?! Why must the heir be a man? Far away in the City of the Sun, her sister Yuma was the ruler! Queen Yuma! But she was just Guria- the great heriditary witch Guria Yala Gorr- nothing but a princess. Well, whatever! Soon, justice will be
