I had to report first. And then ask to send my dresses.“Actually, you needed a new one. You've already been to the balls in all these dresses.- Nikit, I have a dozen ball gowns, each of which costs a fortune. And I don’t really care if anyone remembers that I have already been in this dress. I don't really care what you think about my dresses. And I'm not going to get new ones for the next few years. Will you send?- Where will I go, you are my economical one. Even my wife takes an example from you.- That's right! There is nothing to spend money on nonsense like a dress.- Will you take Arthur as a cavalier?− No way! I love my legs, and she still hasn't bothered to learn how to dance properly. Let Laira charm and invite to the ball.- Who will you go with? Nikita asked slyly.I carefully looked at the impassive face of Emil, who sat not on the bed, but in the chair next to her.- Emil, can you dance? – he nodded – Even all these ballroom dancing? - he nodded again - So I will go w
The night turned out to be difficult, everything pricked me first on the skin, then inside in the center of the chest. It seemed that something was swarming inside and with every breath it only got worse. It became easier from the touch of cool hands.- Hope, what's wrong with you? Emily recognized the voice.- It hurts to breathe.He wrapped me in a blanket and carried me to the healer.“I don't understand what's wrong with her. It feels like it has a lot of those creatures that we got yesterday. But if now by the same method to get it, it will destroy her.“Nadezha,” Evgeny ran in, he looked at my haggard face and swore softly.− Do you have water from the spring? – asked hoarsely, I already felt the taste of blood in my mouth.- At least fill up.- Bring it, you will definitely need three liters.- Will you drink?- No, we will drown me. They are in the lungs, the water will immobilize them, and you will pull them out with the water.− How do you offer water there? Zhenya asked.-
Our warm-up with Emil was watched by all and sundry. And the military after it looked at me with some kind of adoration and admiration. And after the training, I agreed with Mathis and Rerik on additional magic lessons for the soldiers.- Eugene, who is he for the lady? Nate turned to the artifactor.He stood at the window and watched me train with Emil from the castle.- If both will not be stupid, then the favorite.- You allow yourself very free statements.- Do not flatter yourself, but I can. And for the future, you should not send your people to her as favorites, lovers, she will immediately understand this.− You know, she is a strong mentalist.In the evening, Emil led me to my rooms, made sure that there was no stranger in them, and was about to leave. I stopped him.- Emil, remind me about training, I can just forget about them at work.- All right, ma'am."Why are you calling me ma'am?"- How else? - he was worried.- We will never get off the ground like this, - she said a
In the morning I barely had time to put myself in order, and Zhenya came in to get dressed with my guards.- How did you sleep?- Disgusting. Haven't slept like this in a long time.- You are not the only one, Darina did not fall asleep at all. She immediately woke me up and forced the security guard to set it to normal. She heard strange voices.- Where is she now?- He sleeps off, - Zhenya said with a smile. - I and your guys have so far cleaned out the old secret police, while I put new ones on her rooms, we got exhausted. Before you ask, yes we slept, a couple of hours. Now let's work on your room. While Emil will accompany you everywhere.- Okay.Breakfast was in a narrow circle, which was attended by Alik with his wife Isa, Nate, Lita and three other boys from 12 to 18 years old. Judging by the similarity, these are the children of Lita and Nate. I wonder what motivated a girl to marry this man. He is, to put it mildly, a father to her. And she does not look happy, rather exhaus
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. Mathis swaddle them better with magic. So it's hard to breathe. And then if their shells
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
- 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. Oh Darinka hello, where did you lose Vlada?- He was pun
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
