Space Pirates

Enough! Basta! I absolutely refuse to keep saving worlds for nothing but a “thank you”! If it’s really that urgent, then let’s draw up a proper contract—and sign it in blood. Someone’s blood! What, the world has perished, and now I must set off into the past, jumping from one native body to another? And if I don’t make it in time, I’ll perish together with Koschei the Deathless? With no guarantees at all?! Why did I ever get myself into this?!

But how can she tell her brothers that due to a ridiculous mistake she became the wife of an officer of the Empire they hate? How do you deal with a bossy ex-boyfriend and a current boyfriend who doesn't even realize what he's gotten himself into? How to prevent them from finding out about each other's existence and, most importantly, how to force yourself not to think about the prophecy of the creepy monk?
