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
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
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
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.
More than half a century has passed since she buried her husband. The pain subsided, there was a slight sadness. I am saved by work at the academy and state affairs. I rejoice, looking at Nikita and Talia. They made good rulers. I am grateful to my grandson, which allows me to do public work and in general, he began to take care of me as if I were his sister, and sometimes his daughter.- Ba, maybe you will accept Maxim's offer and will also teach in Mariysk. Both academies have already drawn up a rough schedule for you so that you have time to conduct classes here and there. And then you will bring up good teachers there.“Is it so that I don’t get bored at all?”- This is so that sadness finally leaves you. She's eating you up from the inside.She just nodded at those words.- Well, I will accept Maxim's offer, I will work in two academies. I'll ask Zhenya to help me manage the swallow.− You can have your personal pilot. In general, you will have protection."I just want to remembe
“If we immediately fly to this anomalous place, then even being close to that cave will help us. And so from several hours to several days. And it is worth considering that he had already absorbed the bones that were in Runit, he became stronger. Now we are going to take off.- Nadezhda, you absolutely cannot fly there.- I understand, I have already encountered this mineral and its effect.There was a hitch, because we had only one swallow.- Fly already, - I waved off Zhenya - I will contact Maxim, I still have lessons in the capital tomorrow. Keep me posted.There were a few guards with me. The military of Mariysk looked at me with interest. We wanted to make you feel comfortable right away. I thanked him with a slight smile and just decided to walk around a bit and contact Maxim.- Hello dear.“Hmm, you are near the vault.− Yes. The magician was packed and taken away. Take me away from here, otherwise there are lessons tomorrow. And I wanted to stay with you.- Now I will send a
Arthur watched in silence, and stunned.- And which one? - Asked with a gentle smile - Enlighten us.“Why go against the ruling family when you can become an empress and rule.- Did you come up with it yourself?- No, it was my father who suggested it. I will marry Atrur, he, of course, is not handsome, but what can not be tolerated for the good of relatives. Then I will bring my relatives closer to the court, and they will occupy all the best posts at the court. And then, I will become a widow, before that you and his parents will leave the world. And I will be able to marry again, already for my beloved, who is waiting for me, and he will ascend the throne with me.- Bravo, what wonderful plans. And what is your sweetheart's name?- Alex Shores.- Familiar kind. Arthur, what are we going to do with an ambitious girl?It was pitiful to look at Arthur. He has matured, there is no other way to say it."I'm getting stomach cramps from your potion."She handed him another vial.- Drink,
After my words, the teachers stirred. And I asked my vorlaks to spread out not far from the camp and hide for now. The feeling of tension did not let me go even when all my students returned and began to prepare potions. Oddly enough, they were preparing the fifth year, and the junior years helped them with the preparation of potions. The guys were given the potion only after checking for quality. Each team received a credit.- Well done, - I reservedly praised the girls - do not disperse from the camp, the named guests will be coming soon.Fortunately, the potions had time to work on the guys before the bandits approached the camp. Moreover, as far as I can tell, they were two completely different groups. And they came from different directions. And when they saw each other, they were surprised. Unfortunately, this did not stop them from attacking us. This time I regretted that I had not agreed to take extra security with me.- Nadezhda, please don't get in, - Ruslan, a teacher from
