Soul tendencies 1.64

In the afternoon, Semiramis was sitting at her balcony table looking out over the large, forested hills of the island of Euboea. The sun was high in the sky as the sea breeze stirred the trees and the rubbing of the leaves could be heard in the distance. Semiramis had a gold cup on the table and a jar of wine, along with the Jewlery and the ten gemstones lined up from the lightest to the deepest colours. Semiramis had her gaze lost thinking about what Viggo had told her before leaving the room.

-What does that mean?- asked Semiramis clutching her head with both hands -Do you love me? Was it a declaration of love? Do you want to make me your wife? Aaaaaaa-

Semiramis took her hands off her head and looked at the ten precious stones; she loves them with the naked eye, all of them of exquisite colors and texture. Then she looked at the tiara, the necklace, and the center, then thought again of Viggo and how cute he looked when he said, "Be my queen." Semiramis shook her head as if she were thinking stupid things, but she liked the mere fact of imagining traveling to other lands. She started thinking about the climate, the kind of culture they should have there. Perhaps, they were a barbarian people with ample resources and little scholarship. That is why Viggo emitted such a wild and indomitable air. Then she thought that this must change, that since they were going to be business partners, he should know about Jewlery.

Semiramis lay on the table and began to play with the big violet ruby. She would spin back and forth with gentle, small nudges of her index finger.

Then she thought it would be fun to see where Viggo lived, what the streets were like, maybe buy a house and horses. She always liked horses. So, in the evenings meet Viggo, eat at his house or hers and make love until late at night. Semiramis turned away from the table and put her hands on her face, thinking that she was going crazy for considering the proposition of a boy who had not even become a man according to the laws. However, Kiara's voice echoed again in her mind:

However, different from the other day she was deviant with sending Viggo to kill the prince pig in Persia. Now she was considering it seriously, as if it really mattered little or nothing to everything she experienced.

-I see that you are very focused- Scheherezade said behind her back, from inside the room. Semiramis let out a scream of fright and went on to bring the table. The Jewlery and gemstones were shaken, and she instantly covered them with her arms to prevent them from falling. Then she looked back with an angry face and Scheherezade stepped back from the pure fright.

-Sorry, it wasn't my intention to scare you- Scheherezade said, lifting a file of papers and occupying them as a shield.

Semiramis loosened her expression and let out a sigh. She removed her arms from the table and began counting the precious stones. Once she counted nine instead of ten, she let out a scream of terror and threw herself on the balcony floor. Then she crawled everywhere until she found on the edge of the balcony the violet ruby that she liked so much. She took it in her hands as if it were the most important thing in her life and gave him several kisses as if she were comforted. Then she got up from the ground, moved very carefully and left the ruby on the table, next to his brothers. Once she saw the ten, counted them and counted them, she felt safe. She sat back in her chair breathing a sigh of relief and scattered as if her whole body had lost its strength.

-Why are you so upset?- asked Scheherezade, approaching little by little, still hidden behind the papers.

-Sorry, you know, we almost lost several million drachmas because of a little scare- Semiramis said in a tired, scattered voice on her chair.

-Aaaa! so, he occupies the Jewlery. I would never have thought you would be so cheap-

-Shut up! This, this, yes, that's right, this is a deposit. Viggo and I are going to be business partners in the future. Just that and nothing else-

-You say that even though your room smells of hard, dirty, lustful sex-

-Shut up! Normal partners have drinks to celebrate their business. Viggo and I are a little special, so we penetrate on a slightly deeper level.

-Deep, huh?- asked Scheherezade with a sly smile.

Semiramis looked away with blushing cheeks and stopped arguing with Scheherezade. Anything she say will be used against her.

Scheherezade sat on the other side of the table, with the sea behind her. Then she took a closer look at the gemstones and Jewlery. She let out a sigh and said -I never thought you would become so careless, putting such valuable objects on an outdoor table-

-I needed to look at them and think things through- said Semiramis looking at the blue sky with a few white clouds -I still wonder if my brain is working as, it should-

-Then there are two of us- Scheherezade replied with a big smile

Semiramis let out a chuckle and fixed her posture on the table. Then she goes into the room and look for several tissues. Once she returned, she sat in her chair and began to wrap each gemstone in a handkerchief.

-We need to buy a box to be able to store these stones- said Semiramis.

-I understand, I will write it down and as soon as we get to Athens I will buy the box- said Scheherezade.

-What have you come to? If it weren't for an important matter, you'd rather be with your mouth full or your crotch full-

Scheherezade sniffed indignantly and said -look who is talking?-

Semiramis finished wrapping the stones and the jewels. She took them all inside her room and went back to her seat. She looked at Scheherezade and said -Well, let's be serious-

Scheherezade nodded and said -our existences are twice as much as they were on the initial journey. I thought that this time we would be tied by the losses of the previous crew, but it seems that everything went better than expected. So, I have two queries: First, are we going to continue our business with the linen farmer? And the second, that if yes, the answer of the first, when are we going to set sail?-

-We are going to continue with the contract, say my word and we will keep it. On the other hand, I think it would be best to end this business as soon as possible and look for something safer and more lucrative. We are gaining very little from these barters of goods for marble. In addition to that it has a great risk. If that guy gets angry and refuses to buy the marble, we will have to wander around Greece until we find another buyer and can sell it. The only positive thing at the moment is that we can buy the marble and settle all our debts. In that case, all the money from the sale of the marble will be a direct profit-

-I'm glad to hear that you have everything so well thought out. So, regarding the question you asked me earlier, I can say that you are not crazy-

Semiramis smiled and said -thank you-

-What is going to be our next step?-

-I don't know, I feel confused, a little worried and happy at the same time. I'm scared, you know? Viggo looks cute, it's good, you know, in bed. I like his kisses and how he touches me-

-But?-

-These are you, those girls, and that other old witch, what if he gets bored of me like the prince? On the other hand, I don't see it calm on one side. If it happens traveling, we would distance ourselves and maybe, everything falls apart, is it worth it? Heavens, just a while ago I wanted to be with him with all the strength of my heart and now, I doubt, what's wrong with me?

-Think about it, don't tell him anything, it's the best. Only once you are sure tell him that you want to travel with him. From his gaze, I doubt that he will stop chasing you in the short term-

-Yes, Viggo is very passionate. Even if I went to the end of the world, I'm sure he would chase me-

-Maybe not- Scheherezade said with a mocking smile.

-Ah?!- replied Semiramis

-Yes, you see, chasing you would take a long time and if I were with him, I would have him tied to my bed and I would never let him chase you for so long-

-Stupid-

Scheherezade covered her mouth with her hand and let out a melodious and funny laugh. Semiramis smiled and denied a bit funny. This felt good, both of them were having more fun than just thinking about doing business.

Two days later, Semiramis set sail on her ship with all the usual crew. The sea was calm, the sky clear and the wind propelled them with the precise force, not too strong for the mast or sail to break, or too weak for them to advance slowly.

As always, Viggo was sitting on the railing as he looked at the horizon and the sea breeze fluttered his blood-red hair. At the same time, Sakura and Ana were each by his side.

Semiramis would look at Viggo from time to time waiting for the precise opportunity to tell him that, if all went well, she would travel to his homeland to do business. However, these two girls have been hoarding Viggo for days. Not even at night have been able to find him unoccupied. Every time she stands at his door, she hears the sensual moans of the sisters.

On the other hand, Scheherezade seeing her friend so shy to talk in front of others, she let out a sigh. Walk to Sakura and Ana and call them to the semiramis cabin.

Semiramis was overjoyed and thanked heaven for having such a good friend. She then approached Viggo and leaned on the railing as the wind fluttered her long black hair.

-It, It, it's been a while- Semiramis said shyly.

-I don't think so long, but yes, it's been a while, what do you count?- asked Viggo in a good mood.

-I, well, some time ago- said Semiramis with difficulty, interspersed her gaze between Viggo and the cover in an expression of nervousness -some time ago I wanted to tell you something-

-What would it be?-

-Well, I think it might be a good idea to do business somewhere else. So, I accept your deposit and from now on you can consider yourself my partner-

-Really?- asked Viggo, turning his face to look at her face. Semiramis looked away with blushing cheeks. She always looked into his eyes without any fear. Now she didn't know why it was so hard for her to look him in the face.

-We are just business partners- said Semiramis in a spoiled voice -nothing special, well a little special, but nothing extreme. So, don't think weird things-

Viggo smiled and looked back at the horizon -thank you, I'm glad to hear that- said.

-Ah? Aren't you upset that we are not something else?-

Viggo looked her in the eye once again and said -that will be in time-

Semiramis was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled sweetly and nodded feeling a little better at every turn. This was going to be a great trip, she thought.
