Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

The place was well decorated and lively with maids and servants going around but Benjamin wasn't interested in that.

After that Zachary led them to the castle.

"I would like to meet my sister first," he demanded.

"Why not. Since you are here we will definitely let you meet your sister," Zachary nodded his head.

"I want to meet her NOW," Benjamin emphasized.

"I'm sorry but you can't meet lady Silja at this moment," Zachary shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Benjamin's expressions change immediately.

"What I mean is princess Silja is not present in the castle at the moment so you have to wait until she returns," Zachary cleared.

"If not in the castle then where is she? Where did you send her?" Benjamin's voice instantly became high.

"Calm down young man. Let me finish first," Zachary said with a cool expression.

Benjamin's chest was heaving up and down in anger. 

"You might have forgotten that princess Silja has taken part in the bride choosing ceremony of my eldest son. And I'm very glad to share this with you that your sister has successfully passed all three competitions set by us and she is just one step away from being the wife of my son," Zachary announced with a bright smile on his lips. He put his words in a way like he was sure that Silja was going to be his wife for sure.

And what does he say about competition?

Silja passed all the competitions? Benjamin's forehead creased. His father has told her that Silja will try to fail every competition so there will be no chance for her to be the wife of the prince and she can successfully return back home after everything ends well. But that wasn't the point now. The main point was to meet her and tell her that he was here. It has been days since he has seen her little sister and the wait was killing him.

"Get to the point, your highness," Benjamin said Between gritted teeth.

"So for the last part of the competition she and along with all the other ladies went hunting for the hunt of the summer festival. And they will only return after five days," Zachary explained.

"Once she is back you can definitely meet her and I won't be able to stop you at all," Zachary has worn that annoying smile on his lips which was giving a bad vibe to Benjamin.

"Five days is too long. I will follow them now," Benjamin declared.

"I'm afraid you can't do that," Zachary shook his head.

"And why would that be?" Benjamin lifted his eyebrows.

"Because they left for the voyage this morning. Plus I'm not sure which part of the forest they have chosen this time. So it's most likely that even if you want to try you won't be able to find and meet your sister. So it's better that you wait till they come back," Zachary replied.

Benjamin could tell that this was all set up to not let him meet Silja.

"Well now that everything is clear I shall not disturb you any longer," Zachary said and then took his leave.

All Benjamin could do was look at his leaving back and go back to the room that was assigned for him.

The tower was high and laced with all facilities. 

Benjamin started to claim the staircase as the maid led them up to their room.

"Creek….creech…" the stairs were cracking indicating that they were low maintained and hardly used.

Benjamin looked around and guessed that it was most probably used for him to stay only.

Since Silja has gone for the hunt there was no way he could meet her now. North was new to him and since he was here he didn't want to take any rash steps.

So Benjamin decided to stay quiet for now and observe things around him.

The maid showed them their assigned room and left. The three guards with Benjamin were also given the room on the same floor as Benji.

There were no restrictions for them to go and walk around and since the tower was also part of the castle Benji actually could roam around freely in the castle.

Benji ordered his men to take rest since they were already tired from the long journey and he himself locked himself in his room. 

They have not much luggage with them and king Zachary has already prepared all the necessary things for them such as clothes and things of daily use.

Benjamin decided to take a rest first as he stood near the window. 

He then walked back into the room and removed the shirt. Instantly a yellow reptile slipped away from his back and went wrapped around his neck.

"Hiss…" the snake hissed near Benji's face and Benjamin smiled.

"Looks like the man you bit yesterday was someone important to the dragon king. You did a good job Deca," Benjamin slowly caressed the small head of the snake with his fingers before putting it in the large bathing tube. The snake instantly became happy inside the water and started to swim around.

Benjamin also entered the water soon after and took a bath.

Then both man and snake took a rest in their respective places. Donovan made plans for the ahead as he drifted to sleep.

Donovan and his group have decided to make a final stop inside the jungle. They had yet to enter the main part but according to Don it wasn't safe to enter it at night so they decided to stop their journey before the night and start hunting from the next day.

Early in the morning even before the sun could rise fully the hunt was started and each person did their best to hunt as many animals as possible.

The feast was going to be big and they needed to collect enough meat for everyone. Not that there was a lack of animals.. The forest of Dragon creek was filled with wild animals and so many other species of birds and other small animals and insects.
