Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

She looked at Donovan with narrowed eyes. If he intended to do something like that then she would never marry him.

Even Benjamin also frowned. He will never allow that to happen to her sister.

But before any of them could protest, Donovan pulled Silja with him.

"Today is a day when a man prepares some flower ornaments for his partners and helps them wear them," he made her stand in front of everyone as he spoke.

Silja was flustered when she saw everyone looking at her.

Her eyes looked around but she couldn't help but draw them back to him.

Donovan saw how she was flustered and smiled. He raised his head and pushed back the small strands of hair that were flying on her face.

When his warm fingers brushed on cold skin Silja felt an electric current pass through her whole body.

"But I didn't get any time to prepare something for you," Donovan's eyes dropped as he said that. Suddenly Silja felt a little disappointed in her heart.

She had heard from Mira before about these rituals, in the northern people this tradition was very famous and people also emphasized on every couple to perform it. It was a spiritually recognised tradition.

The couple who performed ot receives health, prosperity and blessings from the heavens.

After Donovan's announcement, they were practically a couple, but they won't be able to perform the ritual and it was kinda considered a bad omen.

Silja was never much of a believer of bad omen but today just a thought passed by her head and she couldn't help forget it.

But before she could dwell on the topic more Donovan signalled a maid who was standing on the side.

She presented him with a whole plate filled with various flowers.

Donovan looked at Silja and then at many different kinds of flowers.

He then gently picked a blue rose in his hand.

"Since I couldn't do much suddenly I think this will do for now," he said and pushed the blue rose on Silja's hair. He secured it between her messy hair and smiled at her lovingly.

"For my wife to be," he said.

Silja was stunned for a moment before she slowly raised her hand and touched the soft petals of a rose. The texture was smooth and cold, making her compare it to Donovan's nature.

Just like how a flower blooms, a gentle smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you," she murmured softly.

"But I also didn't prepare anything for you," as she realized she spoke.

"You accepted me, and that is the best thing you can give me," Donovan raised his hand to smoothen a few strands of her hair and then held her head before gently planting a small kiss on her forehead.

Seeing how they were behaving no one else dared to speak anything else against Silja.

Soon Zachary invited everyone for a feast at the back. All the preparations had already been done and Zachary and Abrielle went forward to serve the food.

All the common people who got a chance to meet the king and queen gave them blessings and congratulations for Donovan's marriage.

After they served quite a several people Abrielle walked forward and told Donovan and Silja to serve. They were the next couple of the family and it was also their right. Zivan and Samuel also helped a bit before they handed everything to maids.

After everyone finished their meal finally they called it a day and everyone returned to their respective places.

Benjamin pulled Silja from Donovan and started to walk in the direction of the tower he was staying in. Donovan eyed him and didn't say anything. He couldn't stop them from meeting before marriage, could he?

He sighed and walked towards his father's chamber, Zivan and Samuel followed his brother. 

"Brother, slow down…" Silja yelped as Donovan was practically running while dragging her behind.

But Benjamin didn't hear her and dragged her all the way up.

He made her stand in front of him as they reached his chamber.

Benjamin folded his hand near his chest as he looked at her with an expressionless face. 

Silja laughed nervously as she could sense his anger.

"What...why are you looking at me like that?" She tried to ask casually but her fear betrayed her.

"Explain," Benjamin spet out one word in his grave voice.

Silja was sure that she had never seen her brother this angry before. She was his baby sister and he has always helped her out whenever she makes any mistakes. Sometimes he even took all the blame on himself to save her from their father's punishment.

But no matter how big of a mistake she made he had never made her stand like this in front of him.

Silja could take the look on his face anymore.

"Explain what?" She asked in a low and guilty voice.

"You know very well what I'm asking about Silja Castemont," Benjamin didn't soften his voice even a bit. 

"I...is this how you should talk with your little sister after being separated from mounts?" Instead of replying to what he was asking, Silja tried to take a different approach. To use a sister card….ahem...

"Don't you dare try to stall Silja? I'm very upset with you. How could you agree to marry that piece of garbage," Benjamin growled.

Silja instantly took a step back when he heard his high voice.

"Father told me that you had convinced him that you will fail the composition and when everything will be over, you will return back. So what happened now?" Benjamin demanded angrily.

He took a step forward in his sister's direction.

"Listen to me first, brother," Silja instinctively took a step back as she tried to explain. Silja's face was as white as a sheet. She has never seen Benjamin this angry before, especially with her. When Benjamin saw how frightened she looked he closed his eyes.

He always kept his temper in check while Silja was around, let alone getting angry with her.

But after what happened today no matter what he couldn't stop himself and raised his voice for her for the first time.

Benjamin realized that might be he was being too aggressive so he closed jer eyes and calmed down a bit.

He walked towards her and held her shoulder before making her sit on the bed.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice to you like that when it was my mistake in the first place that I let you come to such a place," Benjamin softened his voice and then pulled Silja in his arms.

When Silja saw that he wasn't that angry anymore she also let herself relax and hugged her brother.

How many days has it been since they've seen each other?

A couple of months?

But why does it look like it has been ages?

Suddenly the feeling of loneliness that was fogging her heart disappeared slowly in the warmth of each other's kin. 

"I missed you…," Silja couldn't help but cry out. The tears were flowing from her eyes nonstop.

"I missed you too, Sija," Benjamin slowly rubbed her back lovingly as he scolded himself mentally.

How stupid he was to yell at her. Now he made his baby sister cry for the first time because of himself.

"I'm sorry…" Silja pulled back and sobbed.

"No, it isn't your fault. Don't cry anymore okay," Benjamin gently wiped off her tears, but the more he wiped the harder Silja cried.

And Benjamin felt lost for a moment on how he could make her stop crying.

"I'm sorry, that kept you in the dark and left without meeting you," Silja apologized between her sobs.

Hearing what she said Benjamin instantly became a bit angry again.

"Yes, for that you should definitely apologize. And I won't even take an apology from you. Because that wasn't even a small mistake," Benji could remember how he had felt when he found out that she had left for the north. And when he asked their father, he said that it was Silja's wish that they don't tell him.

"Why did you do that?" Benjamin demanded. Was her brother that weak in her eyes?

He would have fought a war but never let her go.

"I didn't want everyone to suffer just because of me," Silja wiped her tears away.

"So you decide to become brave and come running here to sacrifice yourself?" How naive can she be?

"I haven't sacrificed myself," Silja shook her head.

"Ohh right? Then what was everything that I just witnessed? Why didn't you object when Prince Donovan declared your name as his wife?" Benjamin fumed.
