Book 5. Demon Gaborim's Seal. Hidalgo and Female Demon

By Olga Kryuchkova

Rene and Gilles are persecuted by the authorities in connection with the murder of the Chief Inquisitor of the kingdom. They are forced to hide. By coincidence, Rene learns that he owns the sword of the demon Gaborim, endowed with fantastic power. The seal of Gaborim on the blade of the sword indicates that this sword was forged in another world.
Walking away from the chase, Rene and Gilles accidentally meet Professor Fernando Sigüenza. He successfully invested the gold taken from the monastery and bought an excellent house in Vendome. The Professor, a jack-of-all-trades and also a swindler, makes fake documents for Rene with the appropriate seals. The Prelate becomes a Spanish Hidalgo: Baron Rene Alvarez de Calahorra.
Rene knows that the king of France is obsessed with a persecution mania and therefore does not live in Paris, but constantly travels, accompanied by the court, to various castles, sometimes even stopping in a camping tent in the middle of the field.
Rene also learns that the king has a new favorite. Her name is Countess Eleanor de Oloron. The king literally lost his head from her. The Professor told Rene that the soul of the Marquise had moved into the body of the young Countess. But the connection between the soul and the body is very fragile. The Prelate understands that the Marquise de Montey is close to her goal: she will become queen and rule alone.
Rene goes to the king's headquarters under the guise of a Spanish aristocrat, and he successfully succeeds in this role. Gilles and the professor follow him. Rene skillfully enters into the confidence of the head of the guard and gets a place in the guest tent. The next day, the royal deer hunt is to take place. The Countess de Oloron understands perfectly why Rene appeared. She breaks away from the king while chasing a deer and leads her pursuer into the depths of the forest. Rene is ready for any surprises.
Rene fights with the demoness and wins, the restless soul of the Marquise leaves the body of Eleanor. Suddenly, Gaborim, the owner of the sword with the Flaming Blade, appears. From now on, the sword will be kept where it was forged: in the Other World. Eleanor faints, after which she remembers nothing. Rene, as a savior, brings her to the king, and tells an imaginary story about robbers. The king rewards Rene with possessions in the foothills of the Pyrenees and a decent sum of money.
Rene is disappointed in life and his real father, the king. He can no longer stay in France, Spain is waiting for him. The adventures of Rene de Chaperon, and now the Spanish hidalgo-baron, continue.

Chapter 13

Rene spent the rest of the night in painful reflections: Henri Dengon was killed, the entire Orleans Inquisition was hunting for them, and the killer of the Chief Inquisitor was undoubtedly the abbot Armand, who had betrayed his soul to the Devil.

With the first rays of the sun, the fugitives left the hut and set off on their way, guided only by intuition. And intuition did not fail: at about noon they came to a forest road, apparently going to Vendome.

We've got to set up an ambush, Rene decided. Surely some wealthy peasant will head to the city. We will seize him, tie him up, get into the wagon and...

And where will we go? Gilles asked. They are looking for us all over Orleans…

Rene thought.

I have to get to the king. He is faithful to his way of life and does not often visit Paris. Now he hunts in the suburbs of Blois. There is only one way out: to get there, but for this we need a means of transportation.

Maybe we should dress up as women. That way we'll arouse less suspicion, Gilles suggested.

Two women are traveling on their own, without men… No. Moreover, you can’t hide your hand in a woman’s outfit.

Gilles shuddered and glanced at the metal glove.

Yes, I constantly forget about my injury.

Let’s better knock down a tree on the road and wait in the bushes.

The fugitives chose a tree growing on the side of the road: the tree was not very thick and not very tall. The men leaned on the tree, trying to knock it down with their weight. The tree fell, just on the road and blocked the passage of the carts.

That's enough, said Rene. The traveler will surely get off the wagon to remove the obstacle that has arisen on the road. And here we are...

We did not have to wait long, soon the creak of the wheels was heard. A cart pulled up to a fallen tree. A heavy man came out of it, completely unlike a peasant, but rather he was a wealthy city dweller.

Rene was about to jump out of his hiding place and hit the fat man on the head with a crossbow, but then ... he recognized his old acquaintance Professor Fernando Sigüenza in the townsman.

Gilles looked at his master in surprise,
