I would tell a lie, if began to deny it.
shrugs shoulders
There were times when I should use any advantage to win my enemies if it needed my female charm... really do you think, I would refuse it?
Gods have presented me with pleasant appearance, sharp wit, so why I cannot take advantage of these gifts?
Yes, I coolly seduced my opponents to weaken them, to catch pursue that was necessary to me.
As to the broken hearts and other sentimental rubbish... Look... These men knew, that risk, when they entered this game. There is no place for love or attachment here. It is war, and the most cool-blooded, most dexterous opponent wins it.
I love this flirt, it turns my head, intoxicates me, as wine. It is like fencing... Or like this amusing east game, the chess. One wrong step, and you have lost.
The main thing in this game to not get in own trap. Always to supervise yourself, to not give in to the temptation.
I know, it is uneasy. Sometimes your opponent happens very powerful. Then more interesting competition.
Do you really want that I have named to you names of my victims? Pardon, I do not remember them and did not try to remember at all. What for?
However...
sighs
There were people to which I have hurt... And the idea of it disturbs me sometimes. These people were not my enemies or villains, they are simple... got on my way. I remember them. And, you know, each of them has taught me a lesson which I have not forgotten.
Iolaus, the faithful friend of Hercules. You know, he was not my type of men... he not seemed to me dangerous when I have decided to seduce him to reach his friend Herc... It was the good plan and it has almost worked...
I was amused with Iolaus, he gave in to manipulation so easily ... looked at me with his puppy eyes... No, I never would become interested in such guy, but... when I was with him, I have found out, that men can be very gentle and so... touchingly careful... If not my plan, I never would learn about it... The most unpleasant, I have a little bit overdone, not having calculated his vulnerability... And Iolaus has really was over head and ears in love in me... Oh, it has turned out badly...
I have apologized in front him some time after, but, certainly, he has the full right to not trust me after that happened between us...
sighs again
Still I oftenly recollect that peasant by name Darius which sheltered me in his house when I was wounded by arrow. You know... he not refused to help me even when has learned who am I. This man persuaded inhabitants to allow me to be in their village for the period of treatment.
I have been compelled to live in his house some time while my wound healed... Both all this time he and his children cared of me. It was very touching... and unusual...
Probably, I should not stay there so long... should not adhere him to myself.
Darius presented me the wonderful blue gown remained from his died wife. It was very serious gift which I, undoubtedly, did not deserve.
Moreover, he asked me to marry him. What could I tell? Ouh...
I really been very much touched with his offer... And for one instant I felt the strongest temptation... What if it is really possible? To become staid... to live on one place, with man whom you loves... to bring up children together... Well, you know, the pleasures of usual women's happiness...
Certainly, such life is not for me. And it is a shame to me to recollect, that I have torn his wife's gown in fight...
Darius understood, that we are different birds. Probably, my refusal has broken his heart...
But I hope, he has found a consolation in his children...
And here was Ulysses... Ah... seems here I broken my strict rule and dared to become attached to man too strongly. I do not know, than he bewitched me, I never believed in love at first sight, but there was exactly same cause. I absolutely lost my head, Ulysses looked not better.
He asked me to marry him... to be Queen of Ithaka together with him...
And I have agreed almost... Though I knew, that he is married on Penelope...
Perhaps, we would be happy... But... When I have seen his wife.. When I have seen my faithful Gabrielle, who crying secretly... I have understood, that I can not... I can not go on it. It was an awful choice... There were broken hearts of two women on one bowl of balance: heart of my friend and heart of his wife who waited for him twenty years... and there was his and my own broken heart on other bowl.
And I have made my choice. It was hard... But I understood, that I right.
Yes, I was too rough with him... But it was necessary...
I hope, Penelope will help Ulysses to forget about me...
