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.

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 will marry Atrur, he, of course, is not handsome, but what can not be tolerated for the good of relatives.

    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

    And I, having thanked the gods for being still alive and I have living children, just sat in the temple enjoying the peace and quiet. The basket, as usual, disappeared into the air, which surprised those few parishioners who were in the temple. My escort was sitting next to me, not moving more than half a meter away from me.- Rest, - said Eugene sitting down next to my guard - I was told here that you were going to go to the spark.- Will you come with me?− Yes. I didn't even see her. And it is, in fact, a great artifact. And I don't like your relatives asking about my personal life.- Didn't they marry someone?- Uh-huh, for you.I looked at the man in surprise.- And what did you say?− Misalliance.I just smirked.“And I wouldn't want to leave my children here, and you probably wouldn't either.I looked differently at the man whom I have long considered my close friend. Our children can be like us, they can live a very long time, even too long. And not the fact that it will have

    - Your Majesty, - they bowed slightly to me, both men smiled slightly, appreciating my outfit - Have you decided to resume training?− Yes. Make a company?- It will be an honor for us.Darina looked into the hall and walked over the wall into the hall and sat on a bench to watch. Several other strong men followed her.- Oh, you guys are on time. We are honored to spar with the lady.- Let's not be sarcastic, just sparring without further ado.“Sorry, that was not sarcasm, but not the ability to express your joy,” said another man. - Poles or swords?- Let's start with the poles.First, there were fights on poles, then swords, and finally, in the usual hand-to-hand combat. They fought exclusively without magic. I got tired of them. After all, they didn’t come out to me one at a time, at least two of them.- Warm up, - said Eugene with a smile. - I've finished it, you'd better test and check that the lock reacts to you correctly.

    I left silently, I did not want to say anything. My feet led me into the garden. That's where my guards found me. Emil stepped forward and said:“Mistress, take us with you from now on. We must protect you, even if it means our own lives.I just nodded.- Let's spar, I need to clear my head and remove anxiety. And soon I will have to go to Mehring. And I need you to think about which other guys to take with you.− What is expected in Mehring?− Anything. I don't trust certain families of aristocrats. They found a way to circumvent the oath, - she winced. I'll find out more on the spot. You may have to live there for more than one year. Well, at least the teachers managed to prepare. It will be necessary to warn the girls that most likely now they will conduct all the lessons themselves.After sparring with the guys, she returned to her normal state. But Emil looked a little differently now. Although he tried not to show his emotions in any way. But when I took off my artifact from my

    Not how she did not react to the howling name, she calmly examined the men. Trying to figure out what kind they are. I would like to say that these are people, but intuition interfered. Of these, only two are lizards, three look like people. All five point their laser at me and try to surround me.She reacted with lightning speed with magic, bound all five, so that not one of them could move.“Mistress, now you can remove the shield and let us in,” Emil said, hearing resentment and a little condemnation in his voice.- Sorry guys, I couldn’t let you in right away because of their weapons. It is not magical and you have not encountered this yet. Call Evgeny, there will be a lot of interesting things for him. Tell them they're pirates, he'll understand.Zhenya flew in on his flying board. He had burning eyes in anticipation of something interesting.− Excellent! Hmm, three parasites and two lizards.

    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

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
