Long-Distance

The morning for Oster—the Emperor’s younger brother—was already off to a rough start. But an unexpected find in the garden managed to surprise even the Chief of the Secret Chancellery, a man who thought he had seen it all. A scruffy dragon tied to a tree with a note reading, "This is your son, Karion," does nothing to improve his mood. Who is this young dragon, really? A relative? Or a well-trained plant? And do the two necessarily exclude each other? What comes next? The Emperor does not forgive mistakes like illegitimate children. To make matters worse, a mysterious girl haunts the youth’s mind. Her inexplicable influence over him leads to significant and utterly unforeseen consequences.

To get the gifts they’re dreaming of, they must get married and have a child together. They only have three years to do that. Will they agree to it, and what are they ready to do to achieve their goal?

Elena danced as if no one saw her, but knowing that he was watching her from afar; I danced as if that night were my last, and in a way it was; She danced as if her pain wasn't there, inside her, wrinkling her heart. She couldn't afford to stop dancing, she knew that if she stopped, the memories of days ago would return. Thinking and just remembering the last few hours tore her apart and now she was not willing to cry anymore, she had done enough. Not tonight.

After her beloved betrays her on the eve of their wedding, Alina accepts her friend's offer and goes on a trip to escape her former fiancé. Fresh air, fun entertainment, and new acquaintances are just what she needs to get her thoughts in order. Even a brief resort romance with a local taxi driver seems like a nice idea to her. But will the romance really be so brief, and who is Slava really?

I only meant to take a peaceful stroll through the forest, gathering mushrooms and berries. But somehow, I got lost... and stumbled upon a curious little hut perched on chicken legs. I thought I’d stay the night — and by morning, I found myself the mistress of a cottage that stood at the crossroads between worlds. How many worlds there were, and whether they were kind or cruel, no one could say. What I never saw coming... was him. The one I once loved with all my heart — waiting for me beyond one of those doors.
