The empress of the north

Chapter 22

Five years has passed, the valerian empire has gotten more powerful each day, they became the second largest empire in the continent behind obelia, and was the most powerful not only because of the dragons, they had better crops and tourist attractions, Valdarian tourism was quite popular with people of other nations coming to attend the season festivals, such as the winter solstice festival and the beautiful scenery

The people adored their empress and her children that they would gladly go to war for them, more people moved to their empire for better job opportunities and safer lives because of the strict laws that the empress put out, nobles who weren't happy that the empress didn't marry and have children with one of their sons but the priest and her hand, kept their displeasure to themselves as they know if they udder one word about her children, hell will raise upon them

Athanasia's children who are now five, have grown beautifully, achilles who is going to turn six in two months looks like his grandfather even though Athanasia doesn't like admitting it, his hair was no longer platinum blond like his mother but golden blond like his father and reach above his shoulder, he had his mothers blue eyes but his fathers nose, he was a quiet well behave boy who wanted to make his mother proud, he spent his days reading or playing with his sister and Estelle

Aurelia is five, looks like her father Lucas, her hair was long platinum blonde like her mother that reach to her waist, bright jewel ruby eyes that looks better than any ruby, she was a wild child, always getting into trouble, causing pranks, becoming another version of her father, that her nickname became Lucia
