Other worlds. Throne of the Soul. Book 4

In Book 4: Zima and Avril meet again in the Kingdom of Daro! The secret of Pilot Iskren and the mission entrusted to him by the Priestess of the Moon...

Excerpts from the Book 4:

Seeing from afar lotuses and water lilies on the surface of the river, Zima resolutely went towards them. "But here there is neither Vera, nor Rizika, nor Asha..." she noted sadly. "Maybe they've gone already? I'll ask that golden-haired tourist girl! Although, maybe she is not a tourist, but a local one: Asha said that lately it is fashionable for local girls to dye their hair light!"
And she without a second thought went to the stranger on the embankment. The golden-haired person stood with her back to Zima, therefore, her face was not visible.
"Excuse me miss, have you seen three girls here?" asked Zima in the language of Mercia.
"Oh? What?" the golden-haired stranger turned towards the voice.
When her gaze crossed with the gaze of Zima, silence reigned between the girls for a moment. They both tried to comprehend what they saw. When they understood, they froze in surprise. And at the same time they called each other's names:
"Zima?.. Is that you?.."
"Avril? Is it really you?"

The capsule itself opened like a flower with six petals. In the center of it lay a small, almost toy-like scroll of spells. If expand it, can see how many complex magic formulas covered it, which can only be seen under a powerful magnifying glass. Usually, Iskren would plant such scrolls on those whom the Priestess of the Moon ordered him to get rid of.
Above the small scroll appeared an image of the Priestess, no larger than the index finger of an adult.
"Iskren Y-0-0104932-R0104-1, I have an order for you," said the image.
The Pilot was not surprised - after all, the first assistant of the Ruler of the Light always conveyed her orders in this way. And he continued to listen to her words:
"I am the Priestess of the Moon, I order you to eliminate Pilot Jan Y-0-1001929-R1004-1 and Core Vera X-0-0911938-R0101-1, who serve with you in the same military unit. Information has come from a reliable source that Pilot Jan Y-0-1001929-R1004-1 and Core Vera X-0-0911938-R0101-1 are in a forbidden relationship. Also, Core Vera X-0-0911938-R0101-1 is in early pregnancy. Such relationship must be suppressed, and the persons involved in the incident must be eliminated. In this case, it is impossible to cause a miscarriage in the Core and restore her virginity. The girl is only twenty-five years old, it is not possible to hide her discrediting relationship until the end of the service. Therefore, there are no options other than liquidation. Otherwise the impeccable reputation of the Cores and Pilots of our glorious Confederation of Kingdoms will be tarnished."
Hearing the order, Iskren froze. He couldn't believe that Jan and Vera could do something so reckless! After all, they both always seemed so reasonable and responsible!
"Why didn't I notice this? After all, Jan is my friend... And Vera is a dear friend of my Core, Zima!" flashed through the Pilot's head.
