Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon - Chapter 207
The price that they paid for this silly mistake was beyond repair and she didn’t know what was awaiting her any longer.
Donovan has done what he said about not letting them go out of Northcrest and keeping them in the dungeon.
Helena was deep in thought just when she heard the movement outside. Form and heavy footsteps echoed in the room followed by the rusted iron gate of the prison cell in which Helana was staying with her bedridden husband.
Helena didn’t bother to look back as she knew without looking back who had arrived to meet her.
“Did you find her?” She asked, still staring at the wall without moving an inch.
“I did,” Donovan looked at the woman with a small smile on his lips.
Hearing his answer the woman frowned and looked back.
“Where is my daughter?” The woman fiercely looked at the man who was standing in front of her.
“I don’t know,” Donovan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Helana’s eyes widened in shock, “What do you mean? What did you do to her?” Helena couldn’t help but jerk up from the seat.
“I didn’t do anything to her. She ran off herself,” Donovan shrugged his shoulders.
Helana looked at him with disbelief. Would this man let her go without doing anything? She won’t believe that.
Or was Gwen actually that capable that she could run away from the grasp of Donovan?
Impossible.
Absurd.
Helana wasn’t stupid enough to think that her daughter was that smart. If she was, none of this would have happened.
“You promised me that you won’t hurt any of my family members anymore,” Helena growled.
“And I didn’t. It was her who ran away before I could even say Anything. Maybe she was so guilt-ridden that she couldn’t show her face to anyone anymore,” Donovan was in the mood to tease Helena so he could take revenge psychologically.
So what if he couldn’t hurt her physically. He has more than thousands of ways to make her and her family suffer without breaking that cold promise he gave her.
“If anything happened to her I will rip you apart,” the woman became hysterical and ran towards Donovan to scratch him but Donovan just took a step on a side and dodged her attempt.
Helana missed her steps and fell head-on.
Her state became even more sorry than it was earlier.
“Do you think you are in a condition to negotiate with me? Just thank god that you and your husband are still alive and I haven’t touched your daughter yet. If you tried to do something like this don’t blame me for breaking that promise,” Donovan threatened. His red eyes looked down on her.
The woman was already in a dishevelled state, with the way she was now laying on the floor she looked even more sorry.
Huh, if Helena was thinking that she could bind Donovan by just using her father’s name or by a few fible words then she was very wrong.
It was Donovan who she was dealing with and she should never forget that also Donovan would never let her forget that.
From the past few years, he was noticing that some of the Dukes were behaving out of line and not paying much heed to the words of King.
But Donovan has let them, Donovan wasn’t the man who used his words to shut them up. He believes in using actions. And this was the perfect opportunity for him to do that.
He will set an example for anyone living on his land that no matter what none of them was superior to the king himself. Anyone who will try to raise their head will end up without ahead.
If he could hold back Kruel all these years then these little schemy dragons were nothing for him.
“You…” Helena pointed her finger at Donovan but she couldn’t say anything anymore when she saw the man narrowing her eyes. The aura emitting from the man was so harsh that Helena couldn’t help but shiver just by looking at him.
“One more word and I will make sure to catch your daughter and cut her limbs in front of you,” Donovan threatened.
Helena was the daughter of the duke of Grimefront so he hasn’t touched her yet.
But he won’t mind breaking the bones of that girl. Actually, he didn’t need to Since Silja has already done the work pretty well.
“Now listen to me and listen well,” Donovan squatted down beside her and said.
“You have already wasted so much of my mind so now behave and answer the questions I ask,” Donovan said in his low voice, without leaving any choice to refute.
“Where did you hire those witches from?” Donovan asked.
“I don’t know,” Helena replied without moving a bit.
“No more lies I said,” Donovan glared at the woman.
“I’m not lying. Gwen was the one who found them and she didn’t say anything at all. I asked her but she refused to say no matter what,” Helana barked. She was losing her temper despite being afraid of Donovan.
She was frustrated with a similar fact already. Because she thought that it wasn’t easy for her daughter to arrange those men.
There was something more in the story.
Donovan looked at the woman with narrowed eyes.
He could tell that the woman was speaking the truth.
“Your daughter got such people and you didn’t even try to know how she got them?” Donovan asked as he stood up and started walking aimlessly in the small room.
His tall figure was making the already small room even more cramped.
“As I said earlier, we tried but she didn’t let anything leak,” Helena said with gritted teeth.
“What else do you know, tell me everything that your daughter did in the last few days,” Donovan said.
“Nothing abnormal that I could say. But I believe that Gwen is not capable of doing this alone. There was definitely someone who provoked her to do something like this,” Helena added, she wanted to transfer the blame to someone else.
And she wasn’t lying when she said that someone might have helped Gwen because as per her knowledge of her daughter she wasn’t capable of doing such a big thing. Donovan also believed the same.
He didn’t have much knowledge about this girl but surely she wasn’t bright enough to kidnap and execute the plan of kidnapping Silja amidst such high security.
No average person can do that, alas he or she was in this field for such a long and was scheming enough to think such a plan.
Also, Donovan has just heard from Zivan that when Silja was on the way to the shire large number of the public has stopped her in a way to see the future queen.
And he has to get whiff that the public was deliberately provoked to do that. Even though there was no any visible evidence but Zivan was sure that someone was working behind the scenes.
People might not object to Silja’s wedding to Donovan provided that Donovan has already spread Silja good work but that wasn’t enough for them to accept Silja with open arms and such enthusiasm. Something was definitely wrong. Nor that he thinks that Gwen could do something so big or even think that was simply beyond her capabilities.
So who could it be who was shooting the arrow using Gwendolyn’s shoulder?
Donovan started to wreck his brain.
He then asked a few more questions to the woman before he decided to leave.
“Wait..,” but suddenly the woman stopped her.
“You have to arrange someone to treat my husband,” she said getting up from her seat.
“I have already arranged healers,” Donovan said.
“They are not up to standards. If this went on he will die,” Helana cried out.
“That’s not my problem then. Do you think I will arrange best healers for traitors,” Donovan scoffed and walked away without looking back.
Helena looked at the metal door which was slammed harshly making loud noise behind Donovan.
After leaving the royal dungeon Donovan straight went to investigate about where did Witches came from and who might be behind Gwen to provide her help and try to sabotage the royal family or Silja.
Gwen was targeting Silja for Donovan but what about that person behind the curtains?
What was his or her real motive? Was it the royal family or Silja?
So many things were going and there was no time for Donovan to get relaxed.
He has to sort everything as soon as possible so they can work on their main plan about making dragons curse free. But to do that wasn’t as easy as it seems.
They had found Silja who has royal blood, but her powers weren’t stable.. If handled carelessly Silja could be destructive beyond words and Donovan has known that from the moment he saw her losing control in the dragon creek forest.
