Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Genie sat down there for a while without moving with a blank mind. After some time she finally stood up and went to the wardrobe area.

Inside her queen-size room, there was a small inner room with a good amount of space, occupied with all sorts of clothes and accessories.

Genie walked in and shuffled dressed to find comfortable nightwear.

She then went in the direction of the bathroom and started to remove her dress. But soon she realized that she was stuck and no matter how she tried she couldn't open the rope of her corset.

She tried sometimes and then put her hands down in defeat.

After all, Genie was a princess and from childhood her all work has been done by maids. She was simply not used to doing anything alone on her own. Just a simple task like bathing and changing clothes was also difficult for her.

Sensing her stupidity of sending maids away before changing she sighed and scolded herself.

Well, there was no way she was going to be able to open the dress on her own.

It wasn't like she can't call anyone at the moment.

She knew that her maid will be just outside the door but since she has told them she didn't need their help it will be hurtful to go out and ask for help.

What should she do now?

She can't stay in the tight dress which was suffocating her.

Corset will kill her if she keeps it overnight.

In the end, the girl tried a few more attempts and in the end, she took a small dagger and decided to cut the dress in order to break free from it.

The sharp dagger didn't take much effort to cut the rope and there was an instant success.

Although she ruined the dress she got her freedom and fresh breath in return.

Satisfied with her work Genie smiled and went out of her room from the back door which was opening in a small lack garden.

As she tried to fill her lungs with fresh air she felt better.

The young girl sat there alone not saying anything to anyone.

She thought that she would feel better after spending some alone time but how could she have imagined that she won't be alone.

Genie was sitting near the small man-made lack when she saw a shadow moving on the other side of the wall.

Generally, guards walked around the vicinity for safety purposes but when she saw the shadow standing there constantly she became alert.

"Who is there?" Genie slowly walked in the direction and asked.

But even after asking her, the person standing there didn't reply at all.

Genie frowned and walked closer.

Her dragon was enhancing her vision and hearing abilities so even from afar, she could see the shadow of a tall man.

"Who are you? What are you doing there?" She questioned authoritatively. It was her courtyard and no one was allowed to wander here and there without her permission.

Seeing her coming closer the shadow finally moved and took a few steps ahead.

The light from the moon fell on his visage as she walked out of the shadow of the tree.

Genie narrowed her eyes as she saw the familiar face.

"You?.." wasn't he the man she met before the celebration near the shore of lack?

She was shocked by seeing him there. What was he doing here in the castle and that too in her inner courtyard?

Genie instantly became cautious.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" She asked with a stern voice. She was wary of him but not afraid.

After all, she was the princess of North, she may be timid and gullible but she wasn't cowardly or easily frightened. Especially not in her own house.

Kruel's dark amber eyes shone as he looked at the girl.

He was closely observing her from the moment she entered the celebration, and when she left he followed her behind.

He didn't want to but he was curious about her.

He had never expected that a sly man like Zachary could have such a gullible daughter.

Kruel has experience of all the men from the Regalhelm family and all of them were tough nuts to crack so how can the only daughter of a royal dragon be so different from them.

Kruel has imagined her to be some young fierce lady like her other three brothers.

Even queen Abrielle, her mother, was someone not to be messed with. In such a family of sly people, how could such a sweet flower exist?

It was simply unbelievable. 

Kruel has thought that since Regalhelms has kept everything under the wrap about their princess they might be trying to use her as a secret weapon but what he found was way different than he could think. 

She was so innocent and pure, the way her eyes widened and narrowed when she talked was captivating.

Kruel has never been seen anyone behaving in such a way towards him.

"Are you listening to me? I'm talking to you. What are you doing here?" Genie waved her hand in front of him.

"I have something that belongs to you," An amusing smile spread on Kruel's lips looking at the girl.

"What is it?" Genie frowned.

"This.." Kruel took out a small braslate made of a shiny diamond.

Genie looked at the shiny thing and extended her hand to take it from him.

Kruel opened his palm in front of her.

Genie's fingers softly brushed in his large and coarse hand as she took away the bracelet.

She closely examined it and it turned out that it was indeed her bracelet.

"This is mine..but where did you get it from?" She looked up at him with confusion.

"I found it on the way," Kruel answered simply.

"Then how did you know that this is mine?" Genie furrowed her eyebrows.

"I have a sharp memory," the man cut the answer short.
