Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

He won't forget this, Joshua might look all smiley but he was wicked from inside.

He was ruthless beyond limits otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bring were the duchy of icecrain was now.

Joshua soon dismissed the shaman and entered the room again.

He sat down beside his sister's bed with a blank expression.

After some time Olivia again woke up.

Her fingers moved slowly, Joshua whipped his head in her direction when he sensed her movements.

Olivia gently opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Wa...wat..rr.." she mumbled in incoherent words.

Joshua held his ear near her mouth trying to hear what she was saying.

"Wait a minute," Joshua stood up and reached out for a glass of water. 

He then slowly fed her water by using a spoon.

Olivia hardly took two sips before she broke in the fit of cough.

Joshua looked at her for a second before he looked around.

When he made sure using his powerful senses that there was no one around them, he took out a small bottle from his pocket.

Joshua held the bottle in his hand and then a frown settled on his face.

"Wh...at..is... cough...cough.." the girl couldn't complete her sentence.

"Blood of a powerful witch," Joshua looked at his sister.

Olivia blinked her eyes as she tried to understand what he was saying. But Joshua didn't explain anything.

Where did he arrange the blood of the powerful Witch?

It was hard to find Witches who can use power in the northern land. And Witches from the south will never help them.

If any of them did then the wrath of Kruel will surely fall upon them without a doubt.

They have a few Witches in the icecrain but they were not that powerful.

Every big house in the north keeps a few Witches they found with them who have a bit of power in them. Because the blood of the witch is an important element and cure to dragons.

But not all blood can be used. The blood which is given by the Witch willingly can heal the wounds of the dragon.

If anyone hurts any witch to get blood the blood will turn useless. That was the reason that even though many Witches roamed the cities no one tried to harm them unless they are powerless.

"I found a small note on you with the necklace," Joshua put the bottle of red liquid to the side. And tried to change the topic.

Olivia's mind instantly started to fill with memories of the time she spent in dragon creek.

'Don't try to remove it otherwise you will die,' she could still hear Drystan's words echoing in her head.

And instantly she tried to lift her hand to touch the necklace he had given her.

But the toss of pain passed through her hand as she tried to make a big movement.

"Ne...neck... ce," Olivia was panicked.

"Shh...calm down..it's here...still on you," Joshua lifted the necklace from her neck and showed her.

Only after confirming that the necklace was still around her neck, she calmed down. She took a huge sigh in her heart.

"I also found a note with it," Joshua said.

Olivia didn't attempt to say anything but she looked at him with her eyes filled with questions. 

"Was it from the Dwarf of Dragon creek?" Lord Joshua raised an eyebrow.

Olivia gently nodded her head.

Joshua pursed his lips.

He found the necklace in her neck when they brought her back. Joshua knew his sister well, that type of ornament was not her style.

He wanted to remove it but he found Olivia clutching on the jewellery that was wrapped around her neck tightly.

His gut feeling was telling him not to remove the necklace so he ordered everyone not to touch it.

He looked at the pendant carefully and just as he was about to leave it the pendant opened itself in two halves. From inside a small piece of paper fell out.

Joshua hastily took the paper before anyone could see it and put it away.

Soon after Olivia's treatment started and Joshua became so busy attending to her that he forgot completely about the strange paper that he found from the necklace. 

It was just yesterday when he left to make some arrangements he remembered about it.

Joshua found a quiet spot and open the small paper.

But to his surprise the paper was blank.

Joshua tried to put it near the fore to see If the words appeared but nothing worked.

He was confused about what to do when the shaman Mohen came to visit him.

The young shaman was not well known in the circle but he was a man of knowledge.

He was one of the descendants of the family of shamans who worked for Lord Joshua's family for many generations.

Plus he was Lord Joshua's personal man and someone whom Lord Joshua could trust.

He showed the paper to the shaman.

"This is secured with the Witch spell," the young shaman replied.

"Do you know how to make it visible?" Lord Joshua asked 

"I can try," the young shaman was positive. He took the paper and laid it on the surface of a nearby table.

The man then took out a small bottle from the bag he was carrying and sprinkled a few drops on the paper before chanting some spells.

He then took out another small bottle and did the same process.

At the end of the spell, the paper started to glisten.

Soon some words started to appear on the paper.

Joshua took the paper and started to read it.

The more he read the more his face became grave. As soon as he completed reading the last line the paper caught fire from here and burned down with rapid speed in lord Joshua's hand.

The small particles of grey ashes filled the room.

"D..did ....you...r...read…" Olivia tried to ask but her tongue wasn't giving her any support.

Joshua nodded his head.

He wanted to discuss it with her but he could tell that her sister wasn't in good condition.

She wasn't even able to make proper sentences.

The latter that was written was not long and along with a few other lines Drystan has written, 'No one can cure your sister apart of me. Accept my offer and I'll send the cure right away. The decision is yours,'

And that's how lord Joshua got the blood from. Yes, he accepted the offer of Drystan and in return Drystan send a cure for his sister.

Joshua didn't know what happened in the dragon creek, according to what he heard from prince Donovan it was his sister who created the trouble for the whole troop. 

But still, the way she was being treated wasn't fair. She was a daughter of the privious duke of icecrain and the sister to the current one.

Her status was high enough that no one could look down upon her.

But nor king Zachary nor Donovan show any face to him and cornered him.

Not to forget the rummers spreading in the whole kingdom.

Everyone was scolding Olivia for being stupid and causing trouble for prince Donovan.

Joshua knew that it was all done by Donovan.

So they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless now and joining hands with their enemies.

Joshua wanted to discuss everything with Olivia but she was weak and thus her health was his first priority.

Even though Drystan has sent the blood which was supposed to cure his sister, he wasn't able to fully trust him.

That man was too sharp and wicked to be trusted.

So Joshua didn't give it to Olivia and took his time to think.

After thinking over and over Joshua finally took the bottle and held it in front of Olivia.

Olivia who was observing him for a long time looked at him for a second before she opened her lips and drank the liquid.

Joshua made her drink the whole bottle in one go.

"Cough...cough…" Olivia again started to cough.

Now it's time to wait.

"Just rest and don't worry. Your brother will take revenge for you," Joshua patted her head again and left the room in hurry.

Olivia looked him leave and a smile rose on her lips. She knew her brother will never abandon her. A satisfactory smile spread on her lisp as she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

After completing the ritual bath Silja completed a few more rituals. And soon the time flows and it was almost time for her to get ready.

Few maids were discussing on what type of ornament will suit Silja and how should they make her hair in the corner.

Mira was standing beside Silja without saying a word. While Silja was in her own world of dreams.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door followed by the heavy sound of footsteps entering the main chamber.
