Nairen stood up at my appearance and pulled out a chair for me on his left side. To his right sat a young nagini. A beautiful, spectacular, burning brunette with a bright beauty. The dress, which did not hide her virtues, did not even leave room for fantasies, everything was so tight-fitting. She barely looked at me, didn't even speak. But I quite well felt the waves of discontent from her, and also jealousy.

At the table were also representatives of the nobility who worked here in the palace. And, judging by the similarity, the father of the favorite was present at the table. Everyone looked at me with curiosity, but no one asked questions. Apparently, until their master allows this, no one will start.

“Nadezhda, you will stay with us again, I insist,” said Nairen. “You haven’t really seen anything yet. We are indebted to you, besides, we must somehow make amends for the oversight of our compatriot. And then you will have bad memories of our empire.

    I woke up to voices in my living room. I immediately recognized Lance and Vlad.“It’s a pity that I didn’t find it,” Lance said, “I wanted to look at the baby so much.I looked at myself, after waking up, I did not immediately realize that I was already in a human body. She quickly got up and dressed in a pantsuit. Went out into the living room.“Hello,” Las said to the smiling one, his wife was next to him.- Hello. Meet my beloved Tanya.“Pleased to meet you,” said the beautiful dragon.- Mutually. Can you help me with turnover?- Certainly! Lance said excitedly. “It’s only worth training outside, Tanya and I will have to turn around.“Hmm, just a question. And how do you change with clothes. And then I got tangled in my nightgown today and fell out of bed.“Usually parents give their children an amulet. He helps to put clothes in a subspace pocket, and when they turn back, they appear in their places. Growing up, we learn to do it on our own, and everything comes to automatism, - t

    One of the advisors spoke up. She glanced at them once more. One with a small triangular beard, he was just talking to me. The other two are clean-shaven, no longer young, with intelligent faces and alertness in their eyes. The one who spoke to me has the look of a winner. Oh well.“Greetings, Your Majesty, born Princess Mariiska.“And you won’t cough,” she said calmly, it sounded very bold.The guys from my guards could hardly keep from laughing. It was felt in the mind. Hope they keep their faces. Roma had a forced smile on his face. As if overcoming some resistance, he spoke:“Counselors, they insist very much,” he emphasized with an intonation, “to get confirmation that you are a descendant of dragons, and not one of the dark magicians.“Due to the fact that you are saying this, my dear, I will ignore the fact that this sounds like an insult.She waved her guards to come closer. They stopped at a distance of one meter from me.“The fact that I am a descendant of dragons, I will sh

    In Mariysk, I turned around only a few times, and that was all the time in the room. It was enough for me that I frightened a couple of maids who were assigned to me. At first they were frightened when they saw a little dragon, and then they saved me from these two young ladies, who almost made amends for me. At home, after a day's rest and a good job, she took the guards and went to the garden to walk her little dragon.I walked calmly across the field. She lay down for a bit, and as soon as a couple of guards turned around, she ran after them. I screamed before I realized what had happened and why I was hurting. Then she found a metal bracelet on her hind leg, tried to remove it with her front paws, to no avail. What really scared me was that I couldn't turn into a human form. She began to look around, the guards looked around, trying to figure out where to expect the attack. I clung to the wolf Andrew, shaking slightly. Now he didn't mind that I got under his belly and was light on

    Looking at the children running around in the yard, I tried to get through to my little dragon, but she was silent.— What worries you? Andrew asked.The dragon doesn't respond.“It’s worth asking one of the dragons to call her, she could go into hibernation. You had a difficult ten years, and during this time you never looked back.She nodded and contacted Lance. He, after listening to me, said that he would fly in with his wife today. Lance examined me very meticulously.You have changed, I can't say for the better.I was taken aback by this news.“I don’t sense a dragon in you.I had to sit down in a chair, I felt sick.- Andrew, you can leave the three of us, I need to ask Nadezhda a few intimate questions.I nodded to my guards, they went out the door.When did you stop feeling it?I thought.- Probably, while recovering her leg, she reacted poorly to pain and did not want to turn around. And then there was one funeral, then the second. Maybe that's when I stopped feeling it.“La

    After my statement that I like Deyman, nothing has changed. The dragon pretended not to hear. And I didn’t insist on anything, and didn’t show in any way that I even hinted at it. Once I heard his thoughts and understood his behavior. He, first of all, saw a small dragon inside me, and then a beautiful woman. And he decided that it would be wrong now to react to me as a woman, because for a couple of hundred years he will have to babysit a child and it will be difficult if now he allows himself to see a woman in me. It pissed me off a little. And when the little one purred inquiringly, the anger evaporated.He's right, I thought sadly, I'm a child to other dragons.On a trip to the cities, dragons invariably accompanied me. The small one quietly watched what was happening, sometimes she only sent pictures-questions or made it clear that she did not understand anything. In the evening she explained to her if she could not immediately. In most cities there were violations, and it was ne

    My first question after waking up was:"Arthur, where are my guards?"The grandson pointed to three men in uniform.“You understand what I mean,” she said, frowning.It's been over a week now, I don't care where they are. But now these guys are your guards.- And where are you going to Andrew, Paula, Rivien, Deyman and Irman? she asked with a frown.“Sent to find those mercenaries who attacked you. I gave them a week for this task. They didn't make it, they might not show up now.“You are too cruel.“And you are too soft and forgive everyone,” he replied irritably.“Guys, leave us,” as soon as the guards left, I abruptly got out of bed, my head was spinning. Étienne held me back and looked disapprovingly at the emperor. - Arthur, of course, I love you very much, but you go too far. A week to find mercenaries of whom nothing is known is too little!“Mistress, you don’t need to be nervous,” the doctor said.I looked at him in surprise.- You just woke up, you should not immediately unde

    The werewolves looked a little embarrassed, but didn't protest.- You were literally a little bit hooked and didn’t get into the general bloodstream. The potion was already expired, luckily for you.“I have a good potion,” the “apprentice” croaked aggressively. The bag has not yet been removed from him.- He was searched, is there anything with him?“We didn’t take anything from his things, there was nothing valuable for our searches,” said Irman, the prisoner laughed.- Irman, when you are wounded by a poisoned weapon, grab everything you found from the poisoner and drag it to the healer. Understood? Otherwise, you will drop your paws prematurely. You are lucky that you arrived at the palace on time. Remove the bag from this misunderstanding, I want to “rejoice” in communicating with my former student.I felt astonished from everyone present."Hi," the man said in surprise.“Hello, hello, Nalan Goish, the best student at the capital’s academy.

    Fortunately for me, Amir left yesterday, and the emperor of the Nagas, although he tried to court, did not become impudent. And when the month came to an end, he caught me in his arms and whispered:— Leave with me.- Don't want.- Why don't you like me?In his thoughts flashed: “I have even refused to peacefully seize this mainland. What are you missing?"“Sorry, but you can’t command your heart."Maybe you'll change your mind?"- I do not argue, you are beautiful, charismatic. But here, - she pointed to her chest, - silence.- It's a pity, - he said and kissed lightly on the temple, - we would be a beautiful couple.You will have a beautiful wife.“But not you.- But not me.- Well, it's your choice. Thank you for your honesty.After seeing off the Naga emperor, she decided to talk to her guards. Where did they disappear again? Andrew gave me three new guys, and he himself with Paul, Riven, Deiman and Irman disappeared somewhere.- And where are you? she asked sternly.I was able 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
