Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

"Urgh...why are you so beautiful," Donovan lifted his head and looked at the ceiling, avoiding looking at her.

Silja turned a red tomato after hearing his words.

She looked down and smiled. Donovan saw her reaction and laughed out loud.

"We should go now," sensing his burning gaze on her, Silja turned around.

"Nop, not like this," Donovan pulled her back as suddenly a grave expression covered his whole face.

That change in his expression was so sudden that Silja was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" She asked cautiously.

''You can not go out like this,'' Donovan said and started to look around.

''But didn't you say that I look beautiful just now. What's wrong now?'' Silja frowned. 

What's with his sudden mood changing?

''Yeah that's the problem,'' Donovan looked at her and said seriously.''What do you mean?''

''And what are you looking for?''Silja saw him rampaging her clothes.

''Found it,'' Donovan stopped and walked towards her. He was holding a feathery shawl in his hand. He walked closer and put the shawl around siljas shoulders, and covered her upper body completely.

''I don't want anyone else to gawk at you apart from me,'' he said matter of factly. Silja looked at him with her mouth open but she simply couldn't find any words for his silly behaviour and laughed out loud.

Donovan's lips twitched at her teasing laughter but he simply ignored it and put her hand around her while walking out of the room.

Well, he hasn't thought it through when he selected that dress but when he realised that not just him but of she go out like this everyone else will also be able to see her. He could help but feel his heart swelling in jealousy, no one was allowed to look at him woman more than necessary. If he could he just wanted to lock her up only for himself but that wasn't possible.

In that case, he will take all necessary steps to prevent her from having bad eyes.

***

At the back of the castle, near the river bank.

Little Genie saw people moving here and there is the distance to prepare for the celebration and competition. She could see her mother instructing maids and servants. 

Her mother has also stopped her from coming today for celebration too but this time Genie didn't give up and kicked up a little fuss.

The summer celebration was a big festival and each and every day of ot was very precious for her.

How could she miss the only opportunity when she could go out between many people?

Finally, Abrielle agreed but on one condition that she will stay with her all the time.

But Little Genie was soon bored and sigh looking at them walking here and there nonstop.

She stood there for some time and when no one was paying attention to her, the little girl started to walk in the opposite direction.

The more she walked in the distance the voices from behind started to disappear and now she could only hear the calming sound of soothing water and whistles of wind.

Her black eyes shine through the darkness as she stopped near the river bank and sat down on the wet ground alone.

Genie took a calming breath in the cold air and started to enjoy the rare opportunity of staying alone.

Since Genevieve was a little girl she was pampered by her parents and elder brothers.

There was nothing that she couldn't get, her every request had been fulfilled even before she asked.

Except for one thing and that was a bit of freedom.

There was not a day when Genie was left alone without anyone keeping an eye on her.

When Genie was around five years old she once sneaked out of the castle without anyone's notice and went to the market to fulfil her curiosity.

But she was unaware that behind her in her absence her mother had flipped the whole castle upside down to find her.

And when they finally managed to find her, Abrielle cried her eyes out while hugging Genie.

Little Genie was stunned seeing how devastating her mother looked and from that day she promised to not to cause any trouble and become very obedient.

It was also that day she found that people were lurking around them who wanted to harm them and that was the reason her family was protecting her at all cost.

At that time the Regalhelm children were still small. And thus their enemies have started to target them. It was also during that time when Samuel and Zivan had been kidnapped. If not for the quick information Regalhelm family would have already lost both of them.

Abrielle has become very cautious after that and she started to protect her children.

As time passed Zivan, Samuel and Donovan learned how to fight and become stronger. 

But compared to the three of them Genie's dragon was a bit weak.

When she first tried to shift she went through immense pain. For Abrielle to watch her daughter suffer so much was heart-wrenching so she forbade Genie to shift again.

Donovan and Zachary tried to make her understand but Abrielle didn't listen to them.

Even Genie was a bit afraid at that time since she was just a child. In the end, everyone decided not to probe on the topic anymore and after the first time, Genie never shifted back to her Dragon form ever again.

In her defence, she did take some training to use swords and bows but in the world of theirs, those weapons were a bit slow where people fight with their claws, fire and magic.

It wasn't that she didn't want to learn and was timid from the core but years of overcare has shaped her that way.

Her world was limited to her family and herself, in between the walls of the castle.

And her family wanted her to stay that way, safe and sound throughout the years she lived.

And Genie has also made herself adapt to it.
