Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Zachary and Abrielle exchanged looks and Abrielle sighed. Then all five of them walked in.

Donovan and  Zivan took seats on both sides of their sister and Samuel sat on the single chair. While their parents sit in front of their children.

"Genie," Zivan turned her towards him.

"I'm not talking to any of you. You all went to the celebration but left me behind. I even missed my brother's announcement about his wife," Genie pressed her lips in a thin line.

"Ahha… we didn't take you there because there was a monster out there. We all were afraid for you, what if he takes you away with him? What should we do then?" Zivan made up a story and tried to pacify his sister.

"Zivan…" but Abrielle, who heard that, looked at her son with stern expressions on her face.

She didn't know why but she felt extremely anxious in her heart just by listening to what Zivan said.

Zivan looked at his mother apologetically.

"Monster?" Genie lifted her eyebrows in confusion.

"Huh, how could that be? As long as brother Donovan is around no monster can harm anyone in our kingdom," Genie said proudly. The girl was the youngest in all of them and she was pampered by everyone in the castle, mostly by Donovan. Donovan may act indifferent and cold towards his brothers but he had never ignored Genie.

She was the life of the Regalhelm family.

As for Genie, no one was as strong as her eldest brother, no one can compare her second brother in terms of finding gossip while brother Samuel was a legend of keeping a straight face.

"Yes, since my brother is nowhere, we don't have to worry about anything," Zivan nodded his head in agreement.

"Of course, brother is so strong, just one punch from him and he will send the monster flying far away," Genie giggled and with that smile returned to the faces of the whole family. Genie also forgot instantly that she was mad at them.

"Right, brother, did you choose your wife already?" Genie turned towards Donovan as she asked, her doe eyes looking at him curiously.

"I did," Donovan has a small smile on his face.

"Really? Who is she?" Genie asked excitedly. 

"Why don't you take a guess?" Zivan asked.

"Umm guess? Let me think," the girl put her slander finger on her lips as she thought about it seriously.

"Is she the princess of Atlanea?" The girl gave an answer after thinking for a moment.

Donovan didn't say anything but the smile on his lips broadened.

"You little brat, how did you guess that?" Zivan asked excitedly. Even though other family members knew that his father has emphasized that Donovan should choose princess Silja, Genie was never made aware of that. 

So how did she manage to find out?

"Haha, I knew since the time of the ball that my eldest brother would choose her. They simply look so beautiful and competitive together," Genevieve blinked her beautiful big brown eyes and smiled proudly.

"Yes, her aura is so unique and only she could tame my strong head and smart brother," Genie added. Donovan narrowed his eyes on her sister.

While Zivan coughed lightly as he remembered saying something like that to his sister.

"Tame me?" Donovan looked at Genie with tilted eyebrows.

"Yes, the second brother said that given your temper, we need to find a woman for you who can tame you from big dragon to soft bunny. So I thought that princess Silja is just like that and she will be able to do it," Genie replied with laughter. And when she looked at her second brother's expression she couldn't help but laugh more.

Genevieve had a very good impression of Silja from the day when Silja won the second competition. Genie admired how she was able to speak in front of the whole court without any hesitation. The fearless answer and calm demeanour of Silja have left a strong impression on the little princess.

Donovan looked at his brother with a very calm smile and Zivan shuddered all over.

Seeing them, Abrielle and Zachary couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even Samuel also has a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips.

They talked with Genevieve for a while before Donovan sent her to her chamber. Sweet Genevieve, who wasn't angry anymore, followed his brother's words and left for her chamber obediently.

Now it was time to address the elephant in the room.

Donovan has a grave expression on his face, no hint of the previous gentleness could be seen.

"What's the matter with Kruel's sudden visit?" He asked.

"We don't know either. I received news that he has sneakily invaded our territory. Starting a fight was impossible and he also said that he was here for peace. I didn't know what we should do apart from inviting him with gritted teeth," Zivan hung his head in shame. In the absence of his brother he was responsible for his kingdom but he was too weak to fight so he had let Kruel enter the North easily.

"You did the right thing," Donovan nodded. Even if Zivan had fought with all his might he wouldn't have been able to stop Kruel. Donovan would rather let Kruel enter the city than put his brother's life in danger.

"But, what now? I'm sure that mother and son pair are up to no good," Abrielle voiced out her worries.

"We can only find out if we talk to them," Donovan replied. He needs to have a good chat with this old friend alone. 

"Then do it now and send him back Donovan," Abrielle order. She couldn't stand that woman and man in her own house even for a second.

"I don't think they will go," Zachary said. 

"There is no need to hurry, since they are here we should take our time and figure out what their actual motive is," Donovan said.

"Will they stay till your marriage?" Abrielle asked.

"Yes, unfortunately," Donovan nodded. Since Kruel was here for the summer celebration there is no way he will leave before that. And Donovan was going to arrange the marriage ceremony on the last day of the summer festival which was just the day after tomorrow.

He could just postpone the marriage but well he knew even though Silja hasn't said anything, for now, her mind can change at any time. And Donovan didn't want to take any risk; he wanted her and that was all.

"What if he found out that princess Silja is the key to breaking the curse?" Samuel questioned.

"He will not, I will take care of it," Donovan replied.

"I'm not stopping you to let me stay here. But make sure that we don't lose what we have. This is our last chance. If not now then never," Zachary declared and then stood up. His face was grave as he slowly walked away in the direction of the balcony.

Donovan looked at his brothers and nodded before they went to make necessary arrangements. After informing Donovan about Silja's reality, king Zachary has also told Zivan and Samuel about Silja. Both brothers were shocked at first but then they understood. Silja was just like blessings in disguise. Even though Zivan didn't comment much about the topic he was curious that when they had already found a pure-blooded witch, why did they need to make her marry his eldest brother instead of just preparing to break the curse.

But he didn't voice out any problems and decided to watch as things unfold.

After Donovan was done discussing everything with his brother he strait went to where Kruel and his mother were staying. Samuel and Zivan have already done all the arrangements for them outside the castle. In the castle property, there was a small building at the far end, which was locked near the river. The building was used as a house prison for the people of the royal family. In the past when any member of the royal family did some offence, they used to be sent to that riverside house for house arrest. But the place has been unused for many years now since Zachary removed the law of sending people there for house arrest. Instead, he started directly sending them to actual prisons where all the common criminals used to live. And that rule turned out to be quite effective.

The place wasn't big but it had all the lavish facilities that one can enjoy in the castle. 

Zivan has arranged for both mother and son to stay there.

When Kruel and Abrielle arrived, they saw a humble two-story building in front of them. The structure was small compared to the castle but the design and architecture were amazing. In front was a small garden which was maintained carefully. Fragrant and colourful flowers have bloomed in summer.
