Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

"Yes my father did force you, because he thought that you are the best for me," Donovan said.

"Yes and why am I the best? Because I have powers? Was that the reason he wanted to choose me?" Silja raised a question. 

"I...look princess, I don't want to talk about why he wanted to take part. All I want to know is do you like me or not?" She was right. His father chose her because of her bloodline of witch and power she holds. 

But what others did was not important. He never liked her just because of her powers and that was true.

"Why don't you want to talk about it? And about what I think, does that even matter? Did your father ask me if I wanted to marry you or not before he forced me here?" Silja couldn't help but raise her voice. 

Donovan didn't say anything. More like he has nothing to say.

"I admit that the way he chose was not right. And I'm extremely sorry for that," Donovan took her hand in his and lowered his head. He apologized sincerely. 

"But after this, can you please give us one chance?" He asked.

"I.. I don't know Donovan..i don't know…" Silja said. No matter what her heart wanted. It wasn't just about her.

Marrying a dragon?

It sounds so unrealistic.

And if she avoids marrying him then maybe there is a chance that Atlanea could stay neutral as ever.

"It's not just about our marriage Donovan. If I decided to marry you, whole Atlanea will be the one to suffer. Marrying you means humans and dragons joining hands. I can't throw everyone of my people, in the fire of war and revenge," Silja pointed out.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will protect your people," Donovan promised.

"You? Don't get me wrong but at this moment Witches are the most powerful. And with the backing of Dwarves they can crush your dragon kingdom any moment. I have seen how things are going in this kingdom. At this moment it is even hard for you to save your own people let alone saving mine," Silja said without fear.

Donovan pursed her lips. This was the first time someone doubted his capabilities.

"Huh, you are right. Witches can crush it me and my people at any moment. But have you thought about what will happen after that? After the dragons are destroyed their next target will be humans," Donovan smirked at her.

"All these past years Witches were occupied to defeat us and never paid any attention to humans because they were irrelevant to them due to lack of power in humans. But the moment dragons are gone it won't be hard for them to take control of Atlanea too," Donovan said matter of factly.

"Joining hands with a dragon is the best choice you have right now. With both of our hands combined we might be able to hold a little longer," Donovan bore his eyes in hers. 

"Have you not heard of the saying that when spiders are united they can tie down a lion. Dragons might be weak but so are humans, but we can become stronger if we unite. Division will make us weaker and easy to break," Donovan concluded his speech and looked at Silja. He has told everything that he has to and now the decision is on her.

Silja was deep in thought. What he said was not wrong. But it wasn't her decision to make. She can decide if she wants to marry him or not but about the whole Atlanea only his father has the right to decide.

Silja was in deep trouble. Even if she didn't think about Atlanea for a moment and just focused on her own self she was still not ready to make decisions.

Silja looked up at Donovan who was still looking at her.

"My father might have forced you to come here but as long as I know him he must have looked into the clear picture about both our kingdoms," Donovan added. "I am not asking you to make a decision now, take your time. But don't take too long because if you do you have to follow my decision," Donovan said and stood up. Silja looked up at his tall body. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions and confusion.

His last words made Silja's heart shuddered in fear.

Donovan looked at her for a bit and then started to walk away from there.

"You have kept me in the dark once. Lied to me," Silja turned her head in his direction as she spoke. 

Her voice wasn't harsh but there was a bit sharpener to it.

"Give me one reason to trust you again. I need something to hold on while making this big deal," she spoke.

"I have saved you without considering my own safety isn't that enough proof for you?" Donovan questioned.

"And what is guarantee that you won't lie again?" Silja inquired. Her voice was low but her question held too much weight that Donovan felt suffocated for a moment. He felt guilty that he was still hiding something from her at this moment. Even though it wasn't lie and he was doing good for her but still it was a secret. And this secret will definitely stren their relationship in future.

Donovan looked at her and then walked closer. He bent down near her and took her hand in his.

"I promise to never lie to you again," he promised.

Silja looked at him and nodded. A few seconds passed and Silja was first to break eye contact.

"We should go eat first," she said and both of them stood up.

The meal finished in silence, after that Silja helped him to clean his wound. 

When Silja tried to apply Donovan frowned and avoided the pest.

"Don't act like a child. This will help you heal sooner," Silja scolded.
