The duel was not a joke, no one wanted to retreat and give up, and all this was silent, only the sound of blades was heard. The attackers fled only when a swallow appeared from the palace. They, throwing an invisibility spell, just fled. Rerik and Mathis immediately looked at me.- It's all right.- You have blood on your hand.“Fortunately, just a shallow wound, even without poison, surprisingly.She cast a healing spell and cleansed her hand, restored the sleeve of her dress. Emil silently escorted me to the swallow. Some of the soldiers who arrived with him went to comb the territory. But as expected, nothing was found, except for a breach in the defense of the academy. The defense was restored and even strengthened.- To the palace? Emil asked.− We need to talk to the rector and, ideally, gather the students. Some saw the attack and they need to be told who the dark magicians are and why they are dangerous. Because of ignorance, they may die.Students were urgently gathered in th

The night was very strange. I fell asleep in Emil's arms, and through my sleep I felt that a rag soaked in a strong sleeping potion was brought to my face. Surprise flashed - who and why? And then there was darkness. Waking up after this was very difficult, and when I almost woke up, I felt pain in my chest, it hurt to breathe and my whole body ached. The same feeling was once in the battles. When we fell asleep, and was cut off from magic. But then everything was much more painful. She also felt the shackles on her hands, frowned, and cautiously opened her eyes. It was an early morning. I was lying on a sleeping bag near the dying fire. Nearby sat two young men, looking into their eyes understood the dark magicians.- I woke up, - said one of them to the second - can we still put to sleep?− Meaning? And often it is impossible, it can die. We need to understand how we will rescue the master."Let her let you go."- She won’t be able to, you see, darkening in the veins has already beg

Before the session, the students were nervous, they had to prepare a sedative potion with all the courses, and then another invigorating one. And for one thing, let me remind you for the hundredth time that you should not abuse these potions.“Otherwise, the vigor potion will put you in bed to recover. The time will depend on how long you have been taking it. But you will sleep like babies, literally.“And shitting on yourself,” one of the guys said quietly.- That's right, Paul, that's right. So don't overuse.“Can you also make a sleeping potion with us?” asked for the third course.“If you have trouble sleeping, go to the healer of the academy.- Problems with neighbors who go out until late at night and interfere with sleep.- In the pharmacy it costs half a silver. We will analyze the potion in the next practical lesson. Do not cook it yourself, it is insidious during cooking.After the lectures, she slowly left the audience and went outside. I noticed how students and teachers w

What I heard shocked not only me, but also my guys. I saw it in their faces. The girl has been here for more than fifteen hundred years. And it turns out we're stuck here for decades, we won't be missed for a long time. These same thoughts were reflected on the faces of my companions.Yevgenian walked briskly, as if nothing had happened, and purred something under his breath, some unpretentious tune.- How did you survive here?- Hope saved. The first day I was soldered with sedatives along with cognac. They immediately checked the level of mastery of magic and hand-to-hand combat. I had to master the sword. Not everything is as bad as it seems.Already in the yard, three guys approached Evgenian, judging by the resemblance, brothers.- These are my students. Tom, Thorin, Tanir Maur. They will fly with me, learn from experience.Before they had time to go far, a pretty girl jumped on his back, feeling like a cat.- Rami, baby, what are you doing here?He looked at the boy in surprise.

- If something happens to her, blame yourself. Of course, the emperor will kill us, but first I will strangle you. And in general, the next time, if it is still there, I will be there.- If they don’t close you in the bedroom again, - said Eugene in a cheerful voice - you simply distract her with your presence and thoughts.I heard Emil growl in anger and despair. Only because our empress is distracted by the thoughts and presence of her favorite, she refuses to take him with her as a guard and escort to the academy. And so, when they are together it is so nice to watch them. They are so cute. Something I digress.While Emil is gone, we cannot open the doors either. If only…- Here we are idiots! - He said aloud - Swords for what?Rerik instantly turned the bracelets into swords and removed the locking spell. The doors instantly flew off their hinges and a dark magician, dead, flew out into the corridor. The girls quickly ran away.We were about to burst into the auditorium when three

Maxim and Nerija were in the tea room. Having flown into the room, I tried to touch a relative, my hand went right through.“Sorry, but I can’t transfer to you yet. Glad to see you, - the relative smiled warmly and affectionately. “You are doing better than I did in my day. Did you receive our message?“I couldn’t make out anything, there was strong interference.“There was nothing important there, it’s just that your mother is very worried. She found out where your father sent you,” Neriy smiled slyly, “made him a notable scandal. Then another adviser Marcus flew in, barely took his legs away from your mother. The sister is terrible in anger. And the adviser, the old beetle, forbade telling the rest about the planet and its features.- Why?- On the one hand, so that there is no temptation for everyone to fly there in a row. You will understand why. And to a greater extent due to the fact that he is with your father, how would it be correct to say, without insult.— Stupid, – prompte

Meeting with Neria cheered me up and blocked all the bad mood from the attack of dark magicians. And then another little surprise awaited us. Marin, my student, gave birth a little prematurely, shortly after the holidays began. And looking at her with a child, I felt sorry for the girl that she got into such a difficult situation when everyone turned away from her. Now, while she was recovering from childbirth, she did not let go of the child from her hands almost around the clock.- Marin, I have to ask you again: have you changed your mind?The girl looked at me with eyes full of tears.- No, I really hope that the family you found will love him like his own. This will not happen in my family, the two of us will be outcasts. And so the baby will have a chance for a happy life and a loving family. I just want him not to hate me in the future, but to try to understand. That this was the best way out.- I'll ask him to pass it on. While you have time, enjoy being with your child.- Tha

On this dance, thank the gods, ended. I hope I still keep my face and it doesn't say that I want to kill someone. Now Nikita quickly picked me up for the dance and squeezed me so much that I came to my senses."I'll kill him," I said in a barely audible voice.“Noticeably, by the gleam in the eyes. What did he say?“He will challenge Runit in order to gain the land where the damned is sealed through victory in a duel. Prior to that, he offered to sell the land, I sent him, politely. Said he'd issue a formal challenge.- Accept. How many fighters?- One.You understand that you shouldn't go.- I'll be a spare, - the grandson gritted his teeth at my answer.Judging by the thoughts that flashed through his head, he would have to ask Emil to go to these fights. The enemy from Deliria will most likely be one of the dark magicians. They will try to disguise it. But the emperor of Deliria could not hide his thoughts from me.- I'm proud of you. And what I talked about with Amir, he looked to

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
