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
While we were going to the swallow, I felt Andrew's surprise and misunderstanding, he saw an inconsistency in my story. How could I know about the abolition of the harem in Mehring if I was not there then? I thought about it, I tell my grandchildren about my origins when they reach adulthood and the head is already working normally, so as not to talk too much. Andrew hasn't heard my story yet. The guy was still hooked when I talked about those events, as if speaking about myself in the third person."Are you all mentalists?" – asked mentally have protection.“Yes,” I heard all five voices in my head.“I’ll show you something, but it’s better for you not to talk, then you will learn about it.”"Yes, ma'am ," said reverently.She showed one of the conversations with my own father shortly before being sent to this planet. He then scolded me that I did not think about the future, but only about Nariman, and he was not a suitable party for me. He said that I needed to grow up and stop bein
Neriya looked at the chapel with a slight sadness.“It reminds me of how much time has passed and that everything that happened was true, not a dream. Is my help needed?- Do not interfere, - Zhenya said with a smile and took off on his board.Neria and I went inside, she looked around and went to the right wall, it seemed to the usual place. But moving the stove, she pulled out a large box from under the floor.This was my treasure chest. Thorin gave me money and jewelry to hide me in it. He said that I, like any dragon, should have my gold hidden. True, judging by the coins, the money has changed. It's a pity.But are they made of gold? Let's show Daniel and find out from him if this can even be exchanged for modern ones. In extreme cases, we will hand it over as gold scrap. By the way, I'll contact him right away. What else do you have there?- Decorations. I have a lot of them, a couple of bags of money.Sat down with Neria on the floor and I contacted Daniel.- Where are you? the
Neriya stayed in my room for the night. The servants looked at us in surprise, for which the relative growled at them, partially turning around.I won't go to another room. And on such a bed, you can get lost. And yes, I don't care what you think of us. You will chat, I will twist your neck in an instant. Got it?!The maids silently flew out of the rooms.“Severe, you intimidated them.“Let them mind their own business. And then they think all sorts of heresy about you and me.— Neri, when do you think everything will happen?- I think tomorrow. Would also like to know what to expect. But tomorrow I will definitely be in trousers and I advise you, - I just nodded in agreement.In the morning we woke up at dawn, independently put ourselves in order.“I propose to meditate a little and check the situation in the castle in a disembodied state,” seeing my misunderstanding, she said, “I will explain.It turned out that this is exactly what I did when I contacted my aunt when she was on ano
This summer, Neria successfully passed the tests at the central academy of Draconian and entered the Artifact.“They wanted to send me to a combat magician,” the relative chuckled. – I had to say that I was already a combat magician and I want to master the science of artefacts. Of course, this is so, briefly and without emotion I retell you.— I'm afraid if your parents were on this planet, they would be called to the rector.“Yeah,” the relative nodded cheerfully. - Okay, I ran away to Kron.Enrolling in the academy, Neriya changed for the better, although perhaps this is how Cron affects her. The relative blossomed and got prettier.Grandson Kiron showed himself from the best side, now he is very nicely caring for Alexandra. I know this from Leon's story. It took them six months to get to know each other well, and at the winter ball at the beginning of the year, Kiron proposed to the girl. And a month later they had a beautiful wedding.A year later, Leon met his future wife. Dina
As a ruler, Amir was not bad. But when he saw me, something happened to him. He seemed to be jumping, and he behaved not like an adult and reasonable dragon, but like an impulsive teenager. Therefore, I avoided him with all my might, everyone who surrounded Amir helped me in this. His associates and advisers saw the emperor's reaction to me. And if some wanted to marry us, these were a minority, then the majority understood that Amir's antics could end badly. It was clear that I was just holding on very well and restraining myself so as not to beat and, God forbid, not beat this impudent lizard.When Amir does not see me, he is very adequate. Even if they tell him about me, the name does not affect him in any way. But as soon as I appear in front of a clear eye - everything, krants, a teenager is a teenager. Therefore, I basically do not appear at balls in Draconian and fly away to balls in Runit and Mariysk. I'm flying to that empire where this impudent lizard will definitely not app
- Forgive the Almighty, Amir, are you an idiot? Lance asked in a barely audible voice. - Have you completely lost your mind and forgot who Nadezhda Raniyskaya is? Have you forgotten that she is the current Empress of Runit? What, you wanted to quarrel with the neighbors? Where did you lose your brains?- Uncle, don't come. I already knew I was an idiot. But she said - somewhere there is my couple. And she looks like Nadia in defense.- If she said that, then the gods gave her a tip.- I'm an idiot.- Has it really arrived?“We need to catch up with her and find out everything.- Yeah, whistling wind in the field. She is already in Runit.Amir tried to find me. He was told that I had gone through the portal. He immediately went to my house, hoping to intercept Eugene. But only managed to see how he slammed the door of the portal.- Shit. You have to go officially.I left in the portal room in the castle. In a couple of seconds, she put herself in order. The guard pretended not to see m
Systematically began to change life in the empire. I had to work from dawn until late at night. At the same time, to drive all civil servants so that they begged for mercy. I forfeited their wages to pay off a debt I had created thanks to Dame Rein. She substantiated this by the fact that he unreasonably raised their salaries by more than three times, and this had been going on for many years. Now they will work without a salary, and all their salaries will be written off in payment of a debt. And it was impossible to quit. Some howled so much, they were ready to go to prison and to the chopping block.“Look what you have in mind, go to jail, do you want to rest?” And who will work?Basically, my comments about the officials were listened to by the soldiers with whom I trained. They silently listened, smiled and helped me blow off steam.- Some are already ready to climb into the noose themselves. I had to ban suicide, backing it up with magic. Death is too easy for them. Do you think
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
