Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon - Chapter 239
“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.
“Dreams?” A puzzled look settled on Silja’s face.
“Have you ever thought that your dreams might not just be regular nightmares but they might have some meaning!?” Donovan has thought about these things long ago. There might be something about her dreams.
“You have started to have nightmares and strange dreams before your powers started to show. You might have got some hints before but being unaware of all these things you might have ignored it,” Donovan led Silja towards the back door which was connected to the back garden as he continued his analysis.
In the backyard were old trees grown around the area. Making natural boundaries.
Donovan has only ordered to clean the middle part. And it was very vast for physical training.
On the side were some stands placed. Holding spears, arrows, daggers, swords and many more different types of weapons.
Hall was for her to develop her powers while this backyard was to train physically.
Silja was deep in thought Donovan walked towards the side and took one of the spears from there.
He threw the spear in the direction of Silja.
“Snnn…” the spear tore the air and with very fast speed came in the direction of Silja.
Silja, who was deep in thought, didn’t notice Donovan’s movement but her ears picked the noise of air and her pupils moved.
But very agail movement she bent backwards and the spear passed from above just by mere space of an inch.
She then raised her left hand and caught the spear in her hand.
Her movement was very fast as if everything was in her control.
This type of sharpness and confidence was rare.
Everything happened just in a matter of a few seconds, which showed that Silja has a very good judgement of time and speed.
Donovan, who was standing far away from her, smiled.
Silja looked at him with the question in her eyes when he saw him walking towards her.
“Was trying to gain your attention,” Donovan smiled and walked towards her. His hands were bound behind his back as he was with lazy steps towards her.
“You could have just called my name,” Silja pointed.
“Will use that next time,” Donovan stood beside her.
“So do you remember something that you saw in your dreams which might have some meaning?” Donovan asked.
Silja looked down and concentrated on her toes as she tried to remember.
“There are many dreams, some clear, some blurry. Sometimes I hear some voices, sometimes I see some unknown faces,” now thinking back about them made her feel like everything was jumbled up together.
“Everything is interwind to each other, I can not remember anything particular,” there was a big frown on Silja’s face.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to think everything just together,” Donovan rubbed his knuckles on Silja’s Silja’s cheek.
“I don’t think these series of dreams will stop,” Donovan stated.
Silja looked at him worriedly. She didn’t like the fact that her nightmare won’t stop.
“You don’t have to be afraid my love. I don’t think the dreams are to scare you but guide you,”
“There is meaning in them and once you learn how to read them we won’t be so clueless,” Donovan reassured her. Actually, instead of letting her do this, he could just take her to the witch who could train her.
So at least they could check how many witches ability Silja possessed but after an incident with Orphelia, Donovan didn’t want to take risks.
And after Orphelia there was no any powerful witch who could handle Silja’s power.
They have to think twice before taking any steps.
And he also didn’t want to let Silja know about her reality before they meet her parents.
Donovan has bound that timeline. He has decided that he will tell her the truth once they reached to Atlanea.
They could not hide everything from her forever and with Silja’s nature the sooner the better.
He didn’t know about anyone else but he knew that he was going to pay a heavy price for hiding the truth from her.
“I will try,” Silja thought about what Donovan said and nodded her head.
“Yes, one step at a time,” Donovan smiled.
Silja tried to smile.
“Come I’ll show you around,” Donovan took her hand in his and pulled behind him.
He showed her outside the backyard, where the whole place was fenced with iron wires.
After a small tour outside they come in and Donovan show her the upper floor.
Donovan hasn’t made many changes here. He just merged two rooms and prepared a library for Silja.
There were big racks to place thousands of books. Silja could see many of them filled with some books.
“The servants are still transferring things here,” Donovan informed.
Silja walked towards the few racks in front which were filled with books.
The one which she stood in front was filled with many different different types of books on Witches.
All the books she found there were very old. It could be said that they were a rare treasure.
While she could see many more books on dragons and humans and dwarfs.
Silja was fascinated by all of them.
“Is there many more like this?” Silja’s asked. He said that servents were still transferring things so there must be many more right.
“Yes, there is,” Donovan nodded.
“Will you transfer the whole library here?” Silja looked around. She kept moving from one rack to another. Her eyes roamed around, while her fingers touched some which she find interesting. If she could, she would like to start reading them now.
The library that he has prepared here was almost as big as the one they have back in Atlanea.
Silja was sure that if this whole place was filled with books she will never run out of different stuff to read her whole life.
“I can but in afraid this place is too small to fit all the books we have in the castle.
Donovan commented.
Silja abruptly turned around with her eyes widened, “Is that so?”
“Yes this courtyard is small to fit all of them,” nodded Donovan.
Silja gulped softly. What she asked was if this room was small but what he replied was that this whole courtyard was small to fit all the books.
“Why don’t you take me to see the Library in the castle,” Silja requested with dreamy eyes. She has had this deep love for reading since she was a child.
And when she met Genie, she found that Donovan also shared the same interest.
Silja found finally something that was common between them.
“Sure will do that soon,” Donovan smiled.
“As for now just read something from here and start your practice,” Donovan casually picked one of the books and handed it to Silja.
Silja took it and read the titles.
“The dark grimoire,” Silja read it out loud.
“I think this is about witches,” Silja commented.
“You have to know everything you find about your opponent if you want to defeat them,” Donovan raised his eyebrows.
“But I…” Silja wanted to say something but Donovan cut her off.
“Don’t tell me you won’t help your husband defeating his enemies,” Donovan looked at her. His red eyes widened.
Donovan laughed at his fake reaction and took the book with her. She shook her head and Murmured something under her breath and moves forward.
Donovan’s lips arched in a mysterious smile.
“So should I start from tomorrow?” Silja asked.
“Why to waste time when you can start from tonight,” Donovan replied.
“Tonight?,” Silja mulled over it for a while before she nodded.
“We will come hereafter sunset and start your training,” Donovan added and they walked out of the library room.
Silja was still holding the book in her hand and then Donovan showed her some other room that he prepared to a kitchen and big restroom.
Silja was a bit overwhelmed looking at all the preparation.
The whole kitchen was filled with all types of things the same scene was with the room where she could rest.
It wasn’t a normal bedroom but it has every facility of a royal bedroom. Large queen size bed, closet, dressing table, big bath. And many more small facilities that are needed. He has taken everything into consideration while preparing this place.
Silja was very impressed.
Especially the small details such as vases of fresh blue flowers in almost every room.
Silja has noticed that Donovan prefer everything in dark colour but since he has prepared this place for her all the rooms were freshly painted with light and peaceful colours.
