- 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

"And what is your friend's name?"“Victor arin Nishar,” seeing my bewilderment, Dylan explained: “He is like our relative, and a relative of the emperor.“More precisely, he is his second cousin,” Talan added to his brother.“My mother married their uncle, that’s why both Nishar and the prefix arin,” Victor explained already.She nodded, accepting the answer.- I understand that today you have no time for fights? Dylan asked.She just nodded and clenched her fists to hide her trembling.- If you linger a little, then we will have time to spar. Now you need to finish things and try to come to your senses.- Is there anything we can do to help?“I don’t know yet,” she said thoughtfully.I decided to talk to my son first. Vlad answered right away and realized from the background that he was in the courtyard near the castle.- Oh, hi guys. Mom, I'll deal with the guards and pay compensation.Do you trust Henry?- Yes, I arranged it here, and I knew him as a youngster. Actually, most of th

I took Victor's advice and every morning, in addition to sparring, I began to fly over the capital. The truth for this got up even earlier. For some reason I was embarrassed by people's attention to me as a dragon.Victor visited me three times a week, took me out to fly and just take a walk in the park. I understood that he was taking care of me in this way, but, it seems, I did not fully realize this fact. The officials resented the very fact that some dragon was courting me. It was believed that in this way the dragon emperor made a fuss and slipped his “man” to me.Who do you think I should date? Deim asked casually, as the most daring of the officials.“Yes, even with me,” I looked at him, he immediately shied away, “or with someone else from Runit.“If I marry, he will take Runit's allegiance, no matter what race or empire he comes from. Understood?- Yes Milady.After a couple of days, I realized that someone had completely lost their fear and found a way to get around the oath

On the eve of the ball, I learned that Nairen Tir Arim, the ruler of the Nagas, would arrive. She took a deep breath and ordered the rooms to be prepared for him and his companions. And for one thing she ordered to prepare rooms for the dragon emperor with his companions. I doubt he won't come, especially when I reopened the portal.Before the ball, I had a female dilemma - what to wear. My daughter, looking at me, could not understand why I hesitated and did not choose my most luxurious dress - in which I was at the celebration of my anniversary as Delilah.“Grandma, I thought you were already dressed,” Nathan said, embarrassed, I sat on the bed in a dressing gown and looked at the two dresses. Both are in bright colors.Nathan, I can't decide on a dress. I want to wear this, it is the most beautiful, but it is too big for me now!- Mom, what's the problem, I'll lace it up. And in general, it is like a case for you. The only thing it opens is your collarbones. So let's get dressed! A

I saw Victor only at breakfast, he sat down among the officials. They looked at him strangely. But having learned that today he began a probationary period in the most junior position among officials and swore an oath to the sovereign, they nodded with respect and more willingly got acquainted.He was still dressed in his clothes, he chose simpler now. On our walks with him, he sometimes dressed very expensively and tastefully. Now, it seems, he is testing the ground among the officials. Victor was told in a whisper when and where the meeting would take place and what would be discussed. Judging by what I hear, they will again discuss how to make education only paid and only for the nobility. And they will think how to get me to sign it. She barely contained a smirk.When the food was brought, Victor was a little taken aback, it was porridge with vegetables. He looked at me, then at Darina and her children. The daughter defiantly took the bun and buttered it. The man silently began to

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

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
