Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon - Chapter 240

Silja has noticed that Donovan prefers everything in dark colour but since he has prepared this place for her all the rooms were freshly painted with light and peaceful colours.

He was actually being very considerate. He even prepared everything in just less than a week. Because Kruel was staying here and before that, no one had used this courtyard before.

“Now let’s go back, we will come back later,” Donovan said. And they return to the castle.

After coming back Silja realized that she had brought the book back and now that there was nothing to do Silja decided to read it.

For her, it was something that Donovan had casually picked but that wasn’t the case.

The book that he gave her was about basic knowledge of being Witches.

The more Silja read the more interesting it became.

Calling it a book was not correct since it was more like a personal diary.

A diary was written by a young witch who has had no power since her birth.

As she grew old and her body strengthened her powers started to surface.

She has then started to write this book about how she felt the sudden surges of power under her skin.

How the spell that just was words for her is now actually working.

The way she controlled them, how she experimented with her powers and how she became just like any other witches.

“I met a very powerful witch today and I told her what was happening with me,” she wrote in the diary.

“After some careful analysis, the witch told me that it was not uncommon to have something like this. It can be a glitch in the blood that I couldn’t perform any magic at the start. But as I grow up, my powers will return. But I felt that she was also not sure about it, because it was rare to happen in such a case when both of my parents are Witches,” the girl has described her dilemmas and everything that she felt.

The more Silja read the more she became interested in it but then she hit the end.

Her journey from starting to the age of twenty was described.

But there was nothing after that. The last pages of the diary were empty.

Silja was confused about what might have happened and that she stopped writing so abruptly. Because from what she read it didn’t look like she had found all her answers.

Silja was like someone who couldn’t feel at ease if she didn’t finish reading the whole book till the end. But this one was incomplete in itself.

It was almost dusk, Silja was thinking about going back and finding if there was any other part of this book.

Silja stood up ready to go but then she heard the maid announcing Donovan’s arrival. Followed by Donovan entering the room.

“Where are you going?” Donovan asked.

“This diary is incomplete. So I was thinking about finding the other part,” Silja explained.

“You completed it already,” Donovan walked forward and took the small book.

“Yes it was very interesting,” Silja nodded.

“Do you know where the second part is?” She asked excitedly.

“There is no second part,” Donovan replied. He was slowly turning the pages of the book. The book was ofl and pages were rusted. If anyone shuffles it without care the pages might tear.

“But this one is not complete,” Silja frowned.

“This is very old. I found it in some random books. I tried to find the other part but there is not. At least not in my collection,” Donovan replied and he could see Silja’s face fall.

“Plus there is no name about whom this diary belongs to which makes it even harder to find the other part of there is any,” Donovan added.

“Ohh,” she sat down on the bed.

Donovan could tell that the woman was not pleased with the information.

“So did you find anything interesting?” Donovan asked. He sat beside her.

“Strangely, I found many similarities between the girl who wrote this book and me,” Silja said.

“Really? What are those?” Donovan looked at her curiously.

“She also was born powerless but then her powers started to surface after some age,” Silja said.

“Hmm…”

“Do you think I might be some kind of witch too? suddenly Silja asked.

Donovan raised his head and looked at her. Silja has a small smile on her face and her eyes are filled with mischief.

She was just kidding, Donovan could tell.

“Well there is a possibility,” Donovan nodded his head.

“You think so?” Silja asked with surprise.

“Well you said it yourself,” Donovan shrugged.

“Well, I might have believed it if there was some kind of magic which can help human parents produce a witch daughter,” Silja replied thoughtfully.

“Milady the dinner table is set,” Donovan wanted to say more but suddenly the maid came to announce.

“Okay,” both of them left for dinner and after that Donovan took her back to the prison courtyard for the training.

“So how should we do this?” Silja asked.

“I think we should start with some physical training,” Donovan said after thinking for a while.

“You mean… combat?” Silja asked.

“Yes. Let me test your physical strength,” Donovan walked out in the back courtyard and stood in front of the weapons.

There were many fire torches placed to provide enough light. Donovan and Silja have good vision at night but still, it can never hurt to have more clarity while fighting.

“Which one?” Donovan asked.

“I’m fine with anything,” Silja smiled. Well, she wasn’t afraid, Silja was trained from childhood to use all kinds of weapons.

Donovan’s lips curled and he took out two swords.

He then threw one at Silja with force but Silja caught it easily.

“Try to stay for at least five minutes,” Donovan smiled.

Silja didn’t say anything but just smiled.

“Show me what you got,” Donovan. Commented and swung his hand. But instead of taking it on her sword, Silja dodged it by taking a few steps back.

Donovan’s sword pierced through the air.

Donovan narrowed his eyes and Silja bit her lips playfully.

Donovan launched another attack and Silja dodged by ducking her head.

That continued with a few more attacks. And when Donovan thought that she was just being defensive, Silja moved behind him and elbowed him in the waist. Her hand looked small and soft but she used a lot of strength and hit on his weak point. Donovan staggered forward from impact.

“Acting smart huh?” Donovan commented, turning around.

“Just trying to save me,” Silja shrugged. She massaged her wrist in which she was holding the sword.

Silja has sensed how powerful he was from the force of the sword that was thrown in her direction earlier.

Even though she managed to catch the sword, her wrist had started to hurt a bit because of the force.

Donovan was a dragon, so his natural physical strength was more than Silja’s.

On the other hand, he has more experience in fighting. He was someone who has fought many battles so there was no way Silja could be better than him.

It would be fine if she could just take a few moves from him.

She knew now why he only asked her to stay for only five minutes. If she goes head on to him, she might not be able to take even three to four blows before she loses.

“Not bad,” Donovan walked towards her.

“Clank…..” he swung from the angle and speed that Silja can’t dodge nor can she duck down.

Silja has no other way but to fight.

Their swords swing in the air continually and the air is filled with the noise, swish, swoosh of air being pierced and the clinking of metal.

Just in five minutes, Silja was sweating profusely. Her hair has fallen loose behind her back because of her vigorous movements.

It was clear that Donovan was going easy on her but still, she was struggling to even defend.

Silja has never seen Donovan fight before but in just a little demonstration from today, she could tell that he was a very skilled warrior.

Silja has agility and speed, while Donovan has the benefit of strength. As well as she was very skilled in predicting the next move of his opponent.

So he always chose the angle in which the other party was left with no choice but to take the blow head-on.

He could easily corner his enemy and crush all their confidence by just a mere look of his eyes.

And that was Donovan doing it right now. Silja was smart but when she felt that she was being cornered she started to become aggressive.
