– Sergey Eduardovich, we are coming to you about this question. I know that you are currently working on a serum against vampire bites, said Plato.
Yes, that’s true,” answered the scientist.
My friends and I are now fighting against vampires, and this afternoon, when encountering them, our friend was bitten by a vampire, Plato explained.
I know this to the core, answered the scientist.
– I want to ask, did you make this serum? – asked Plato.
How can I tell you, I have some samples of my research, but they have not yet been tested by me on infected people, said the scientist.
But we urgently need to introduce an antidote into the girl’s body, said Plato.
And if this serum doesn’t help, how will I be able to look people in the eyes after this, said the scientist.
It will help, I’m sure, otherwise why all this, then let it be as it is, we’ll just throw up our hands and say that we are powerless in the fight against evil, said Plato.
I understand you and will give you what you ask, and if it helps, I will do it for hundreds and thousands of people, said the scientist and went into another room. He was gone for a long time, but then he appeared with his head held high and said:
Here’s my invention, guys, let this serum help the poor girl, said the scientist and handed Plato a test tube with green liquid.
– Tell me how to enter it? – asked Plato.
Take a regular syringe and divide this serum into two equal parts, inject it into the buttock and six hours later, inject the second part, the scientist explained.
Thank you, Sergei Eduardovich, said Platon.
But promise me that if successful, you will come to me with this girl and show me the result, said the scientist.
Of course, I give my word that I will come, Platon answered, and together with Zhenya, after saying goodbye to the scientist, they hurried home.
The time was late, two o’clock in the morning, Plato had to wake up Leroux to administer the serum. She slept so soundly that it was impossible to wake her the first time.
Elsa gave Lera an injection and set the clock for eight o’clock in the morning to repeat the procedure.
Chapter No. 8
In ancient Persia, King Abid was about to give birth to a child. Various soothsayers came from all overseas countries, who, after certain rituals, all told the king that he would have an heir.
The king was twenty years older than his wife and was already fifty-two years old.
He did not like to go on campaigns, he liked to sit on the throne and give out decrees left and right. He was plump, of average height, with a slight bald spot on his head, and loved women, wine and various performances. He had no children and dreamed of an heir who would sit on the throne after his death.
The queen was thirty-two years old, a beautiful woman, with long black hair, straight bangs at eyebrow level. She was dressed in a loose turquoise dress so that her belly was not noticeable.
Time passed and Queen Asia, in her seventh month of pregnancy, invited a woman who had been looking for a meeting with her for seven days and nights and could not get in for a conversation.
The guards brought the woman to the queen and walked out the door.
The woman was a beggar, dressed in some shabby, old clothes, she looked about forty years old. She made a living from her predictions, which, according to rumors, always came true.
– Well, tell me, why did you come? – Asia asked.
I heard that your husband is waiting for an heir, but you can disappoint him, you will give birth to a girl and she will be named Amina, the woman said.
Where does this information come from? All the priests and soothsayers say that I carry a boy under my heart, said Asia.
Don’t trust them, they are charlatans and, in order to please the king, they are ready to say anything for their own good, listen to me, you will have a girl, said the woman.
I don’t believe a single word you say, get out of my kingdom and you won’t get a single coin for your deception, the queen shouted.
Believe me, otherwise you will bring a curse on your family for three generations, said the woman.
Guards,” the queen shouted and two guards ran into the room.
– I obey, madam, they answered in unison.
Take this crazy woman away and never let her in again, Asia shouted.
The queen understood that the king only wanted a son and if a daughter was born, he could do whatever he wanted with her.
The time has come and the queen began giving birth. The king celebrated this event with his main nobles and merchants. Then the maid came up to him and said:
– Dear king, your daughter was born.
Quiet, everyone, Abid shouted and silence fell in the hall.
Repeat what you just said, Abid ordered.
You have a girl, answered the maid.
– What is she saying, I had a son, not a daughter. Guards, I order you to burn this witch alive in the square, Abid shouted.
