Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

And now just one mistake made their roles reversed.

"I'll come back again. I hope by the time you learn your lesson," Liliana slowly planted a kiss on Helena's tears smeared cheek and left.

"How was the meeting?" Donovan asked as Liliana came out.

"Good," the woman smiled brightly.

"Exciting actually. It felt nice to trample all over that woman," she added while giving a satisfactory smile.

The guards closed the door of Helena's cell. They could faintly hear women screaming uncontrollably but no one paid any heed to it.

"Would you like to meet your granddaughter and son in law, milady?" Donovan lifted his eyebrows. Liliana laughed at him addressing Gwen and Duke Mason as her granddaughter and son in law. 

"Sure," the woman was instantly ready. They walked ahead and entered the upper prison. Gwen and Duke Mason were assigned to stay in the small prison side by side.

Both of them were badly injured and with a lack of sufficient care and medicine, their condition was worsening. 

Gwen was still young thus she was still healing faster. But Duke Mason was in dire condition.

With all the bones broken his whole body was paralysed. Due to internal bleeding and wounds, his body has started to decay. The site was very disgusting to watch.

When Liliana turned towards Gwen's cell she saw the girl laying on the cold stone birth, lifeless.

Looking at her like that a long lost memory surfaced in front of Liliana's eyes.

'Mama look grandfather gave me this new pet. How's he?' a girl around eight years old asked her mother. 

"Grandfather said that he could kill even a grown-up man in just a few minutes," the little girl added with excitement in her eyes.

Lady Helena who was sitting by the side looked at the fierce dog standing in the cage while baring his teeth at everyone. The cage was very big and the dog was roaming around in the cage. It could be seen from the look of it that the dog was very fierce and could kill anyone if left free.

"Why don't you taste him, sweety, to find out?" Helena smiled at little Gwen.

"But whom should I test him on?' Gwen's eyes roamed around the garden. Each and every servant in the garden started to shiver from the fright.

As Gwen swapped her eyes on each of them choosing a subject on which she could test her new pet.

"Hey there you..come here," finally Gwen's eyes settled on the middle-aged woman standing not far away.

The woman started to tremble uncontrollably as she took a step forward.

The woman could see her death not far away.

"Not you, the one behind you," but before she could hand her fate to God Gwen's irritated voice rang. The woman stood there with shocked and somewhat revealed expressions.

But suddenly her heart stopped when she saw whom Gwen was calling.

Behind the middle-aged woman was standing a little girl of the age of seven to eight. She poked out her little head from behind the woman looking around with her big black eyes.

"Milady, she is the daughter of a second son," the older woman shielded the little girl instantly.

"So?" Gwen asked. Hearing what the old woman said Helena turned her head towards the little girl. Helena's pupils contracted from some unknown emotions.

Lady Helena who narrowed her eyes on the girl. She looked at the small girl and her eyes shone with hatred.

"Milady she is just a child," the old woman thumped on the ground begging.

But all her begging was ignored and the guards dragged the little girl away from the older woman.

And shoved her roughly in front of the cage.

"Give her sword, let her fight my new pet," Gwen cheered loudly. One of the servants brought an adult sword and put it in the little girl's hand. The sword was so heavy that it fell on the ground with a clank.

"Send her in," Gwen ordered while Helena kept drinking her tea like nothing wrong was happening.

Her indifference made all the servants present

One of the men opened the back door of the cage while the other one distracted the dog. He took a big piece of meat and threw it in front of the dog to occupy it for some time.

While the other man roughly shoved the girl in and closed the door.

He also threw the sword in with her so she could use it to kill the human size dog.

The whole place went into a frenzy looking at the scene. A little girl was standing behind a large dog, frightened and at a loss of what to do. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at everyone with helpless expressions.

The little girl was shivering all over, she was so frightened that nothing came out of her mouth instead of small sobs. She banged her hand on the bars of the cage, pleading everyone to bring her out. But all the people present could only watch her helplessly.

"Take her out, please milady she is just a child," the old woman ran towards Helena and held her legs.

"Go away. Or you want to go in too with her," Helena kicked the woman in the chest, making her fall down on the ground. The impact of her kick was so much so that the old woman coughed a mouthful of blood. Seeing her like this no one else dared to come out to help the girl. After all, everyone was afraid for their own life.

On the other hand, the dog was eating the meat with his head down. His teeth were strong and sharp and he finished the whole piece in just a few bites.

Everyone held their breaths as the dog finished the food and growled again for more. But suddenly he sniffed the air and then slowly turned around.

Little girl's eyes widened at the dog who was looking at her with a deep set of beasty eyes.

She hastily bent down and tried to lift the sword that was on the ground. With her two hands, she managed to hold it but there was no way she could use it.

The wild dog on the other hand looked at the frightened creature in front of him. As per his predatory nature, he observed every small detail and tried to sniff the air.

Then with slow steps, it moved forward towards the girl.

"Marcella…." Suddenly a loud yell rang in the garden.

Everyone turned their head to find a young girl making her way through the crowd.

Her eyes widened as she saw her sister standing inside the cage in front of a large wild dog. Her eyes widened and she stopped in her tracks. 

Marcella the little girl saw Liliana and she started to bang her hand on the bars even more desperately. 

Liliana stood there shocked, processing the scene for a few seconds and then without thinking she ran in the direction of the cage.

"Stop her…," Helana yelled when she saw the young girl running to save the girl. 

On the other hand, the dog became more restless because of all the commotion and he ran and pounced on the little girl.

"Marcella move…." Liliana yelled at her little girl who was standing there shocked and frozen. The girl looked at her and when she saw Liliana moving her hand in the air indicating her to move away she instinctively slipped to the other corner of the cage. Avoiding the dog just by mere seconds with the luck of stars.

On the other hand, a few guards ran towards Liliana to stop her.

But before anyone could she pushed one of them away and opened the cage door. By now the dog was even mad and attacked again.

Liliana had nothing that she could use so she pounced on the dog. 

She kicked and elbowed it but how could she become the match of a mad wild dog. The dog bit down on her thigh and tore a large piece of meat.

Liliana's heart-wrenching screams filled the whole garden.

"Lady Liliana?..lady Liliana…" the woman who was standing in front of the cell was lost in her own dreams when she felt someone calling her.

She turned around to find Donovan looking at her with puzzled eyes.

"What happened?" Donovan asked with concern.

The woman was standing there for more than fifteen minutes without moving or saying anything. Just staring at unconscious Gwen inside the cell.

"Nothing," Liliana shook her head and then rubbed her face, trying to forget the dark and painful past.

Liliana didn't want to stay there any longer so she turned around and started to walk out.

Donovan didn't ask any further and they both left Gwen's cell.

"What about your husband? Duke Harthem seems to be very fond of his daughter," Donovan and Liliana started to move out of the dungeon.
