Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

"She entered the forbidden area and also killed one of my dragon brothers. Now you decide what I should do with her and…. Your people," Drystan said while his eyes turned in Silja's direction as he spoke last words.

Donovan cursed in his head. Out of all people Donovan has never expected lady Olivia to be this stupid.

When they entered the forest, he had clearly mentioned that none of them would enter the forbidden part of the forest. 

The other three ladies had never been to the forest before. So Donovan has especially assigned two of his best men with them so they don't make any mistakes and also for their safety.

He was mostly worried about Lady Cecilia, and Silja. But Olivia, she had caught him off guard. He didn't know how even with his man keeping an eye on her how she was able to commit this big blunder.

"Huh, harming my men? You don't have any of them with you, so stop threatening me with their name," Donovan said.

Apart from Silja and Mira all the other soldiers who came with them were dragons. All of them could shift and their dragon form and can fly hundreds of miles in just a few hours.

They would have left the forest of Dragon creek long ago. If not for the sake of spending time Silja more he would never have chosen the roadway to reach here. He has told Silja that they will leave from the southeast but actually Donovan has told Garrett to use the new way they had found. Which was more convenient and safe. 

Donovan never wanted to go hand on hand with rogues. At most he just wanted to distract them and buy enough time for everyone to leave before leaving himself with Silja successfully. But now there were some hiccups in the plan. Although Garratt and other people left securely, he and Silja were stuck here.

"And for your information, they haven't left from the southeast exit," Donovan said.

Silja was worried about Mira but when she heard what Donovan said her tension eased. She looked up at him for confirmation, her eyes looking at him worriedly.

Donovan then smiled at her, he extended his hand and took her small palm in his. The warmth from his plan was reassuring.

"Huh, you are right. I may not be able to get hold of your people. I thought that no one knows this forest better than me but it looks like you do," Drystan laughed dryly.

"But no problem, they were never my actual target. You are my target," he added.

"Huh, so you want to kill me now?" Donovan lifted his eyebrows. Well even if he wanted to he can. After all, he has already surrounded them with his army.

"I have let you go free once but it looks like you take that as a free pass for every time," Drystan said.

"This time you crossed your limits. Killing my people in my own territory. How can I let you go away unpunished," Drystan said. "I have a reputation and I need to maintain it,''

"We can bargain," Donovan proposed.

"Killing me is not that easy and you don't want to offend my father that badly," Donovan smirked as he said that.

"Hmm. You are right. I shouldn't kill you. But then again you should be published for the death of my brothers," the little man kept pacing around in front of Donovan and Silja.

"I can give you her. She is the one who killed your people. She is the true culprit," Donovan said looking at Olivia.

Silja's eyes moved to look at him. How casually he agreed to sacrifice lady Olivia.

How heartless. As if sensing her thoughts Donovan looked back at Silja. 

He gave her a gentle squeeze to her hand. 

'Don't worry I won't do that to you,' his eyes sent an invisible message.

"Huh, she is just a pawn. You are a real bite," Drystan said. 

"Think carefully," Donovan said again. If possible he didn't want to fight. They were outnumbered and he didn't want to take risk of Silja's life. Out of all, Drystan was there too. All the people living under the shelter of dragon creek choose one leader every year and Drystan was occupying the seat of the lord for many years now. He was smart and powerful. And many rumours were going around about him being Vlad himself or his descendant. Well, there was no concrete proof for that but those rumours have always worked in favour of this haughty dwarf.

"Hmm.. should I?" Drystan said and he walked towards them. Silja was still standing beside Donovan. Drystan's eyes met her and he walked towards her.

"What is the name of this beautiful lady here?" He extended his hand in front of Silja, asking for her hand for greetings.

But who did he think Silja was? She never gave-in in front of Donovan let alone the man she didn't know and was probably planning to take their life.

"Silja Castemont," Silja replied, her hand still on the side. Drystan saw her attitude and smiled

"This man has rubbed his attitude on you Silja Castemont," he laughed it off. "Castemont hmm, if I'm not wrong there is only one Castemont family of the four kingdoms. You must be the rumoured daughter of king Evan who has come to take part in the competition of our one and only prince," he said with a wide grin on his face.

"So finally your father was able to make humans side with dragons. Impressive," Drystan nodded his head. He then looked around and waved his hand.

"Hmm, what did King Zachary offer Atlanea in exchange for this empereal beauty," he circled around Silja, scanning her whole.

Donovan pulled Silja near him and glared at Drystan.

"It's none of your business," Donovan said between his gritted teeth. 

"As I said earlier I will decide what is my business and what is not," Drystan said. 

"You are not going out of this forest before dawn. Stay with me tonight and we can negotiate about your return," Drystan looked at him and a smile spread on his lips. 

"I'm not going anywhere with you.." Donovan said.
