Natalie Yacobson - Swan and Dragon. Dragon Empire

Finally, the most elegant puppet stepped forward and announced with an air of importance:

“Our master has ordered us to serve your highness.”

“What can you do?” Rose asked immediately. She really could not understand how these fragile, small dolls could be useful, except to serve as toys.

You have to be a fool to entrust such weak, cute babies with some kind of work.

However, the puppets turned out to be very agile and neat maids. They worked together and cheerfully. Rose couldn’t get enough of the tiny people scurrying about the room. The puppets played the role of both maids and maids-in-waiting at the same time. In a quarter of an hour, the room was shining clean.

The puppets helped the princess put on a purple festive dress and strung small diamonds on her hair.

“The master is already waiting for you,” one of the puppets reported in her thin, melodic voice.

Edwin, indeed, was already at the front staircase. This elegant young man was nothing like a wicked monster hiding in the shadow of looted treasures. His cold beauty emanated not only twilight evil, but also wisdom and knowledge that only immortals possess.

The walls of the castle are also endowed with inexhaustible strength, the ability to prolong youth and heal. Rose felt it when, in just a night in the castle, all her wounds and scratches healed and covered with new transparent skin.

Rose was accompanied by two puppets. One minced ahead, pointing the way through the corridors, and the other carried her train.

“Where did you find them?” Rose dared to ask, when timid, agile dolls, seeing Edwin, hurried into the shadow of the nearest column.
