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.

    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.

    Tanya and Lance worked with me every day and strictly forbade me to fly myself. And they forbade their children to tease me until I confidently stand on the wing. After the flights, I felt unaccustomed to fatigue. Moreover, the wings hurt even when I was in the form of a man.“I think it’s worth taking a break for a few days,” Lance said to his wife, “our named daughter has been too overworked these days.Tanya beamed at her husband's words and hugged me like a mother. I smiled slightly myself. And then she allowed herself to relax and feel all the unspent maternal love of Tanya. I am not against such a mother, because I really do not have enough support and maternal love. She sensed something and hugged me tighter. In height, I was shorter than her, and barely reached her shoulder."Thank you," she kissed the top of my head.- For what? She raised her eyes to her.“You made it felt that you agreed that we should be named parents to you.“I don’t mind, Lance has been babysitting me al

And yes, it can be recreated consciously, and put everything that is needed there, it becomes attached to the human aura. For example, near His Highness there is one of these pockets, but it has not been used for a very long time, but something remains in it.The prince looked a little embarrassed and shrugged his shoulders. Curiosity won over arrogance, and he said:- Can you open it?- Only with your permission.“Let me open my subspace pocket.Zhenya made a gesture, as if opening a lightning bolt (by the way, there are no lightning bolts on this planet) and began to pull out a variety of clothes, shoes and artifacts from this pocket.“Excuse me, Your Highness, but you have a lot of junk there.

    Eugene's audience with the Emperor took place just over the weekend. I sent a friend to a meeting alone so that Amir would not deceive himself to see me again. And she flew to the chapel with her daughter and son-in-law. She barely mastered this flight, because Darina decided to fly, on her wings. My daughter later apologized to me for this.“Mom, I’m sorry, I keep forgetting that you are still small in the form of a dragon.“You are no more than our Dasha,” Sasha remarked, “I think this flight will be a science for us, that we need to perceive you as equal in strength. We would not have forced our daughter to fly so far.- How can I get back?“Fly on me,” Alexander said calmly, “protect yourself from the wind with magic.- Are you kidding me? she asked her son-in-law with a squint. - I spent so much energy on this flight that I can walk with great difficulty, and not just to conjure.- You will carry two, - the daughter immediately got her bearings.Fortunately, we flew as close as p

    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.

    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

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

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
