The night turned out to be difficult, everything pricked me first on the skin, then inside in the center of the chest. It seemed that something was swarming inside and with every breath it only got worse. It became easier from the touch of cool hands.- Hope, what's wrong with you? Emily recognized the voice.- It hurts to breathe.He wrapped me in a blanket and carried me to the healer.“I don't understand what's wrong with her. It feels like it has a lot of those creatures that we got yesterday. But if now by the same method to get it, it will destroy her.“Nadezha,” Evgeny ran in, he looked at my haggard face and swore softly.− Do you have water from the spring? – asked hoarsely, I already felt the taste of blood in my mouth.- At least fill up.- Bring it, you will definitely need three liters.- Will you drink?- No, we will drown me. They are in the lungs, the water will immobilize them, and you will pull them out with the water.− How do you offer water there? Zhenya asked.-

I had to report first. And then ask to send my dresses.“Actually, you needed a new one. You've already been to the balls in all these dresses.- Nikit, I have a dozen ball gowns, each of which costs a fortune. And I don’t really care if anyone remembers that I have already been in this dress. I don't really care what you think about my dresses. And I'm not going to get new ones for the next few years. Will you send?- Where will I go, you are my economical one. Even my wife takes an example from you.- That's right! There is nothing to spend money on nonsense like a dress.- Will you take Arthur as a cavalier?− No way! I love my legs, and she still hasn't bothered to learn how to dance properly. Let Laira charm and invite to the ball.- Who will you go with? Nikita asked slyly.I carefully looked at the impassive face of Emil, who sat not on the bed, but in the chair next to her.- Emil, can you dance? – he nodded – Even all these ballroom dancing? - he nodded again - So I will go w

A friend, not even embarrassed, said:"I wouldn't come in if you were at least kissing, let alone anything else."− How will you know?- So who do you think installed the security system on your room. And after we made a map with Saan and my students, I can see what is happening in any room.“Show me,” she said with a weary sigh."Don't worry, I won't be long and you can rest," he said a little guiltily.The map of the castle and secret corridors turned out to be voluminous. For the first couple of minutes, I just sat, staring in surprise at this miracle that was displayed above the table.- Eh, how neglected everything is, - Zhenya said, looking at me - when was the last time you had a normal rest?- In Mariysk, it seems not while she was lying here after that terrible procedure.- You urgently need a rest, otherwise you will just stretch your legs. I think that without you nothing will fall apart here, they will definitely hold out for a couple of days. And you still have almost a m

“Well, since we are not fired, it’s good,” said the former head of the guard with a satisfied smile, “and you must be all aristocrats.- Have you seen our faces?− Well?- They look a lot like aristocrats. Therefore, we will shamelessly tear you lazy people. Where are the barracks, see Mathis. And that you've lost a lot of weight.- So much running, go and you would lose weight. I'll stretch my legs here soon. I need a rest at least a couple of days and eat normally.Emil looked at me begging.− What? Do you have an idea where to fly with such a crowd to relax?- I already told you. The guys were there and will rest with pleasure even in tents.- Yes, a couple of days of rest will not hurt us. Tell them. I'll go to the office for now.Before leaving, Eric said with a smile:- How can I navigate the castle and its surroundings without these brave guys.- So for this, Eugene has his new artifact card. Good thing and Darina if that helps. Darin, don't bite them, okay?- I'll try, - said

Fell asleep well past midnight. In the morning, they brazenly overslept breakfast and, refusing the offered food, left the parental home. I again had to return someone else's appearance. We walked a little around the city, went to the tavern for food and then went to the guys who were resting outside the city. Already approaching the clearing, she returned her real face. We were smiled. Now, without the artifact, it was a little hard to hear the thoughts of everyone around me. I've gotten too used to slacking off. The guys from my security looked at Emil with interest, everyone was wondering if our relationship had moved off the ground.- How did you visit your parents? How did the father react to the visit of the empress?- If they find out, his parents will have a blow, - I said instead of Emil."Terrible," Emil added a comment.- How did you disguise yourself?- Appearance has changed a little, only the face.She sat down by the fading fire and took out sliced bread. She divided

We went to my future office. I began to unload from my dimensionless handbag all the materials that I had brought with me.- We need to ask the girls to multiply some materials and books, - she said while she was laying it out.The rector began to quickly look over what I was unloading and nodded approvingly.− Wonderful books. I remember this one, in my youth I read it almost to holes.I contacted Talika and Ramora, who will be teaching at the academy with me. She asked me to come in and help sort out the study materials.“We have already collected almost all the herbs and ingredients for the study. It remains to deliver them somehow, - Ramira reported.“I remind you that the cabinet for ingredients must be closed both magically and physically.“We remember,” the girls sighed.− Are you worried?- Just a little.The three of us quickly reproduced the textbooks, and my bodyguards helped take the textbooks to the library. And we placed in the closet, the literature that should be in th

The secretary turned as pale as chalk. At that moment, Nate entered.“Hmm, what have I missed already?”- Lots of interesting things. Soon they will try to kill me.The man hiccupped in surprise and sat down in the nearest chair.“Your nerves are iron madam.“Years of training and more than one assassination attempt. Emil send this with someone reliable to the dungeon. And we need to find a new secretary. And check the papers he kept. You never know what he could have done there."I'll check," Nate said. The girls were looking for you. They have already tortured my sons, the boys do not know what to do with two active young ladies.- You can immediately see relatives, - she said with a smile - they remind me of my childhood.Temporarily secretary, began to replace Nate with Alik alternately. When Darina found out that the secretary was "fired", she volunteered to take this position.“I'll keep busy anyway.“You know, it will even be good if you work here for a while. To be afraid of y

We have come to judge you! Mara's father said shrillly. - You're an impostor!- If you want to save your life, you will transfer power in Mering to me, the heir to the ruler!“You seem to have misunderstood a little,” I said with a smile. “I am acting as a governor. And Mering, rather, retained his name out of habit. And as such Mering, this is all the territory of Runit no longer exists, - she said already harshly.“So you refuse to return what is rightfully mine!” squealed the young boy.In some ways, he looks like a king, whom I vaguely remembered.“You don’t own anything anymore. Mering lost the war to Mariisk and went to Runit as my dowry.“Then we will take you impostor hostage and demand from the Emperor to restore the independence of Mehring. I and my kind will rule again.- In my opinion, young man, you have too big requests. As for a person who never worked and lived off the empire and the taxes of its citizens. And if someone from your family remains alive after today, they

I woke up on my own, the doctor was not there yet. The first thing I noticed was white hair. She chuckled. The transformation does not happen just like that, I did not age, but my hair became white, like chalk, reflecting my inner state. Everything seemed to freeze inside. The doctor, when he saw me, was afraid, not of my appearance, but that I could quickly grow old and die. But after examining I calmed down. Following the shock awaited the rest of the relatives. Neriya took my change more calmly, explaining everything to the others:- Rejoice that only the hair has changed, she is holding up well. She could have died in her sleep. Our changes are reflections of our inner state. And white hair and faded eyes are a reflection of grief.And I didn’t even notice that something happened to my eyes, now I didn’t care. The servants and palace guards shied away from me a little at the funeral ceremony and then for several more days. And I had a strong apathy and did not want to do anything.

On the day of the wedding, I had to reassure Anastasia.- Well, why are you nervous? she asked kindly. “You know you don’t have to worry.“I look too fat,” she said, sobbing.- You should have married a couple of hundred years ago, as soon as you met. Or, at least, fifty years ago, while you were carrying your first son. Nastya, you and Sasha already have a third child, and you are still not married, this is no good. And in general, who is the future Empress Runita here? You should be wondering what anyone thinks. Yeah, you don't look very graceful and like a twig is about to break. They look like this on the slides. So - either we postpone the wedding and upset all the guests, and wait until you give birth and recover. Or you wipe your nose first to yourself, and then to everyone who wants to slander. What you choose?Nastya wiped her tears, and I removed the redness from her face and allowed the maids to do cosmetics and hair styling.- Whom to punch in the face? Father asked when N

While Grandpa watched the two-hour video, I was a little nervous and drank soothing tea. The husband sat in the same room and read the documents. When I reached for the teapot again, he pushed the cake towards me.“Eat better dessert, a lot of sedatives is bad, master of potions.Father tried to hide his smile. And then quietly said with regret:“It’s a pity, Victor, that you won’t be able to fly with us."Yes, I'm sorry too, but you'll have to replace me." Because I am living out my life,” grandfather looked at my husband tenaciously at these words, “I already live longer than any other dragon. And I have only a few years left, or even less. And I will go to the forefathers in heaven. Perhaps we will meet with my beloved again, but not on this planet. Nadya is my other half, and I have lived a very happy life. True, there is a small problem with this.- Which? - a question immediately from the father and grandfather.- When a half dies, the second of the spouses can die of longing. A

Seeing Nerija at dinner in a pearl dress, she was very surprised.What or who made you wear the dress? I asked in surprise.Neriya smiled and shot her eyes in the direction of my daughters and granddaughters.- Clearly, the girls sang. Do not destroy the palace for joy.After dinner, grandfather approached one of my grandsons, Alexander.- What do you want, grandfather? the guy asked softly, but relatives and friends know that his softness is deceptive, his character is steel.“Can you show me around the palace and talk to me?”The grandson glanced at me and mentally asked:“Grandma, Grandpa wants to know something about you? What to tell him?“At your discretion ,” she answered slyly.- What do you want to know? Sasha asked, changing from softness to strictness.Marcus felt it right away.“I just want to know how my great granddaughter lived here. Or did she not tell you?- She told me a lot, I can give history books to read. Many books have been written about the Empress.- I will d

How can you describe the six thousand years that you live with the man you love? These are millennia of happiness, tenderness and great support. In the history of Runit, these millennia were marked as an era of prosperity.Victor is still alive and even cheerful, which cannot but please me. We had ten children, and now we were expecting another child.In the speed after our wedding, I had to let Whirlwind go so that he could live out his horse age. I had to do the same with the vorlaks. They lived in the menagerie for several more decades, and then the whole family went into the wild forest. It was a difficult but necessary decision for all of us.“Nadya, don’t strangle Zhenya,” the husband said with a smile, “it’s easier for you to give him a sleeping potion to drink again.” It will be more reliable, so we will know for sure that he will get enough sleep.Did you hear your husband? – cautiously asked a friend, but I saw that he was smiling. - And in general, mother, it’s bad for you

At dinner, Victor had to be seated next to him. Other officials looked at him not exactly in surprise, but from some there was envy, from others hidden anger. Few people were happy for him, there were only a few of them. Most, to one degree or another, believed that the dragon was well settled and was building a career through bed.“I wish you strong nerves ,” she mentally told him when he sat down next to her.“They will have to choke on their own poison. I don't intend to please anyone. And compared to the anger that I faced from real dangerous criminals, this is so - a mosquito squeak.I changed my views on food a little, and Nathan influenced me a little. And when dinner was brought, the men, and they were in the majority at the table, were pleasantly surprised. The food became more satisfying, there was more meat. Now they were throwing grateful glances at Victor. And he looked at me with delight."Thank you! Now I don’t have to run every day to the tavern for a good portion of m

Victor.I just nodded and asked:“Have you seen the artefacturer today?”- No.Scored it on the crystal.“Yes, are you bored at the ball there?” he asked sleepily. - Let me sleep.“You’ll oversleep the slaughterhouse,” he said calmly.Already attacked? Where?- Ballroom.- I’ll come right now, creeping bastards don’t let me sleep. They will regret that they climbed into the palace.He was still mumbling something about revenge and ingenuity. I broke the connection and accelerated. In the corridor near the hall it was somehow peculiarly dark. I had to start spinning the sword in the corridor and cut through the darkness. Only then was he able to enter the hall. And I saw Hope. She was like a goddess or a ray of light that fluttered through the darkness and smashed the attackers. Only our swords, which we raised, saved us and the soldiers - and the darkness did not approach us. We have not seen faces and people. There was a strong oppressive feeling, as if there were no more people in t

Nadezhda Raniyskaya.“Grandma, you should rest for the ball tomorrow night,” Nathan reminded her.Seeing how I wince, he decided to finish me off with another piece of news:“I ordered a new dress to be made for you. Will you try on? Preferably today. I'll go check.- That's an order?! – asked with undisguised malice.- God forbid, the Almighty, - the grandson waved it off cheerfully, - just curiosity.I went to look at the dress. The maid gladly rushed into the dressing room and brought a voluminous cover. And where did they hide it.- The dress was only brought today, literally an hour ago, - the answer to the unspoken question. - I will help?- Of course, Marie, I definitely won’t wear it alone.The dress was gorgeous. Nathan still has a taste, and the size seems to have guessed right. Without a rigid corset, but with lacing on the back. The sleeves are translucent of the finest lace and a small scattering of precious stones. I think if I twirl in a dress, there will be a very beau

I slept just great. Judging by the clock, it's already the second half of the day. Immediately called the maid and asked to serve breakfast in the living room.“Mistress, a dragon wants to get to you,” the girl hesitated, remembering the name.— Victor?— Yes, sorry, I forget his name.- Not scary. Then bring two sets of sweets for tea. Let him come in and wait in the living room.- Can I help you?Marin, I'd rather be on my own. Take breakfast.She quickly cleaned herself up and put on a three-piece suit. The castle was cold. Breakfast was already served, and my dragon was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window.“I hope my empress has had enough sleep and will not kill an impudent visitor?”I look at him and try not to smile too openly. He broke down first and laughed.“I’m sorry I wasn’t there yesterday, I would have saved you from the officials.- Get them away from me. But the guys are great, they managed to put up shields. But now I have slept, rested and
