Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon - Chapter 238

“What about your husband? Duke Harthem seems to be very fond of his daughter,” Donovan and Liliana started to move out of the dungeon.

“Huh, a man drowned in pleasure sees nothing more than women and wine,” Liliana commented as they left the dungeon.

“It is a deal, then?” Donovan asked, standing in front of the big entrance of the prison.

“Umm, I think I missed noticing whip marks on her body,” Liliana frowned, she turned her head towards the door of the dungeon.

“You can implant them after I hand her to you,” Donovan said in a very casual manner.

“I will do that gladly,” Liliana smiled and both of them left the prison area.

In the residential area of the castle, Silja entered Genie’s room.

Behind her were some maids walking in with two large boxes in their hands.

“I hope I didn’t disturb you,” Silja said and entered. Genie offered her seat and both of them sat down.

“These?” Genie looked at the boxes maids put down.

“These are some gifts for you,” Silja said.

“Why did you bring so many things!?” Genie looked at Silja with surprise.

“Why shouldn’t I? I only have one little sister in law, I have the right to spoil her,” Silja smiled.

“Thank you sister in law,” Genie walked ahead and hugged Silja.

“I hope you will like them,” Silja has chosen the best things for Genie from what she has brought.

“Of course, I will,” Genie smiled.

“I’m so happy that you are now part of the family. I won’t be alone anymore,” Genie held Silja’s arms tightly.

“Me too,” Silja was genuinely happy that this family was not what she had thought before. After meeting Donovan’s whole family and whatever time she spent with them she realised that they weren’t similar to other dragons. Who has prejudice about humans.

They treat her well no matter the reason.

“I hope I haven’t disturbed you,” Silja asked, looking at the way Genie’s eyes were darting here and there.

“Of course not, actually even I was thinking about going out with you,” Genie hurriedly explained.

“It has been a long Since I have gone out of the Castle. Mother hardly let me go out alone. But now that you are here we can go together,” Genie said.

“I’m sure mother won’t say no to you,” Genie added.

“I will look forward to that,” Silja also nodded enthusiastically.

“So what were you doing?” Silja asked, looking around. She could see some books here and there on the bed.

“I was just reading,” Genie replied.

“Ohh, you seem too interested in reading a lot,” Silja said, looking at the big cupboard standing in the far corner. Which was filled with books.

“Yes, my eldest brother said reading increases intelligence,” Genie nodded.

“Indeed, can I see your collection?” Silja asked. Her eyes caught a book on the bed.

“Why not,” Genie replied.

Silja stood up and walked near the bed.

While Genie followed her closely, with her heart in her mouth.

Her eyes darted now and then at the cupboard where she had hid the diary.

Silja picked up the book and turned some pages. The writing style was a bit different, it was some old book of poems.

“This is very interesting,” Silja turned the pages with fascination.

“Our little lady is very fussy about what she reads, she always picks the best,” Genie’s personal maid who was standing by the side couldn’t help but say proudly.

“Very well,” Silja smiled and took one another book.

“Have you read them all?” Silja asked.

Before Genie could reply it was again the maid who spoke.

“Of course, milady has read all of them,” the maid walked forward and pointed the large library cupboard to Silja.

“Aunt Martha…” Genie looked at the woman with widened eyes. Martha was showcasing everything that Genie was trying to hide.

But Martha took it as if she was being embarrassed.

Silja looked at the girl and felt as if something was wrong.

Silja has very keen observation skills and when she noticed Genie fiddling with her fingers and her forehead breaking in sweat she understood that something was not right.

She has sensed Genie’s restlessness from the moment she walked in.

“Well that’s a very good habit,” Silja said and put the book down on the bed again.

It seems like she has chosen the wrong time to come.

” I think I should leave now,” Silja said.

“So soon?” Genie somewhat felt revealed but also troubled in her heart

“Yes, I was just here to send this gift. And your eldest brother is also waiting for me regarding some work,” Silja made an excuse.

“Alright,” Genie didn’t fuss much. And Silja left.

Silja didn’t think much about Genie and soon returned to her chamber.

To her surprise, Donovan also returned very soon.

“Here you are,” since there was nothing else to do for Silja now she was standing in the garden admiring the flowers that were blooming. She turned around when she heard Donovan’s voice.

He walked towards her and held her hand.

“Is your work done?” Silja asked.

“Yes it’s done,” Donovan nodded. He has decided everything with Liliana, now they only need to wait for Marcella’s reply.

“You might have to purchase some more clothes and jewels soon,” Donovan smiled.

“Why?” Silja asked with a big troubled look.

“Well there might be one more wedding in the Castle soon,” Donovan hinted.

Silja frowned.

“Are you not planning to hold our wedding ceremony again are you?” Silja’s eyebrows drew together

“We can if you want but no right now I’m not talking about our wedding,” Donovan pulled her in his arms and held her from behind.

“Then?” Silja turned her head towards him.

“I’m talking about Zivan,” Donovan smiled.

“Ohh!?” Silja was a bit surprised. As a new member, she hardly knew much about them.

“Who is the girl?” Silja asked.

“Lady of Harthem family,” Donovan replied.

Silja frowned.

“Lady Helena’s maternal family?” She pulled away from Donovan and turned around, facing him.

“Yes,” Donovan nodded.

“Will they agree after what happened with Gwen?” Silja was a bit unsure.

She was unable to understand this from last night.

Lady Liliana was the wife of Duke Harthem.

But she was very young and a human. So she couldn’t be Lady Helena’s mother. That means she was stepmother to lady Helena.

But even though given her relationship with lady Helena the woman should have been angry with Silja.

But her attitude towards Silja was very opposite.

Something that Silja couldn’t digest.

“I’m sure lady Liliana is very thankful to you for teaching her granddaughter a lesson,” Donovan smiled.

“I didn’t understand,” Silja shook her head.

“You will soon,” Donovan then took her hand and started to walk out of the garden.

“Are you sacrificing Zivan?” Silja asked as they walked out.

“Is this a political marriage?” Silja asked.

“Yes and no. Don’t worry I won’t do anything without Zivan’s agreement,” Donovan reassured Silja.

Silja nodded her head.

“Where are we going?” She asked when she saw instead going towards their chamber he was taking her somewhere else.

“I have prepared a surprise for you,” Donovan said.

“Come,” they left the castle from the back door and reached the river shore that was behind the Castle.

He brought her to the same building.

It was the same building in which Kruel and Evillene had stayed during their visit.

But unlike earlier this place was now thoroughly cleaned. Donovan has changed many things and repaired the whole place.

Unlike before it was now looking in very good condition.

Silja was busy looking around since it was her first time here.

She looked around and saw some new plants planted around. Most of them were roses.

The plants were still small but they will bear flowers very soon.

“Come inside,” Donovan pulled her hand and led her inside.

There was a small room in the big lobby.

Donovan led her to one of them and Silja saw a big hall which was made by merging a few rooms.

The whole room was planted in white colour making it look calm and peaceful.

There were some flower pots of blue roses placed on the side. Giving fresh vibes.

He even knew what colour of flowers she liked.

Looking at fresh flowers a smile bloomed on Silja’s lips.

She then tilted her head towards Donovan.

“What is this for?” She asked.

“For your training,” Donovan replied. He was still standing near the door leaning at the frame.

“Training?” Silja furrowed her eyebrows.

“Yes, don’t you want to cultivate your powers?” Donovan asked and walked forward.

“I do but…I don’t have anything to start with,” Silja pursed her lips.

“You have your emotions, your dreams,” Donovan said.
