Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Chapter 37 - Meeting With Queen

Silja also wanted to meet the queen.

She has met king Zachary and he seems to be a very smart and sly guy. Now meeting the queen will help her understand more about them and she can decide what will be her next move.

And her hunch was right.

"This is the princess of Atlanea, princess Silja Castemont," one of the maids who stood by the elegant lady spoke.

"And Princess, you are in the presence of Queen Abrielle."

Silja looked at the young woman who looked like she was in her early thirties. But dragons age slower than humans and they have long lifespans too.

Silja bowed her head.

"It's nice to meet you, your grace, Abrielle gestured to her to take a seat in front of her.

"Please take a seat, dear," Abrielle has a beautiful face with a gentle smile. She looked very gentle and calm and could encourage people to approach her without hesitation.

"How are you now? I heard about the accident you met on the way. I'm very sorry for what you have to go through," Abrielle's eyes were glued to the human princess who was sitting in front of her with a slight smile on her lips.

"I'm feeling…," Silja was in the middle of her sentence when she was interpreted.

"Good morning, your highness." Gwen arrived in her heavy gown which was almost like she was going to some ball dance.

"Lady Gwen, it's nice to see you," Abrielle said with a broad smile on her face.

"How have you been, your grace?" Gwen asked in the most possible sweet voice her.

"I'm alright, how are you? I heard you were also injured in the dragon attack, were you scared, "Abrielle then gestured to her to take a seat.

Gwen was standing behind Silja so at first, she didn't notice as her whole focus was on Abrielle. But as she walked near she saw the human girl sitting in front of the Queen and a frown settled on her face.

But she was quick to smile brightly at Silja.

"Ohh princess Silja is also here," this was the first time Silja saw Gwen smiling brightly addressing her with her name.

Silja rolled her eyes at the girl in her head.

In response, she just smiled.

"Well, I'm fine now. As a daughter of a dragon knight, how can I be scared that easily? We have to be stronger than that," Gwen answered Abrielle's question with a smile.

"That is so brave of you dear," Abrielle praised the girl.

On the other hand, Silja decided to stay quiet. She could still remember how Gwen was yelling at top of her lungs and even though she has most of the knights around her to keep safe.

'Brave it seems,'

"How are your parents? It has been long since they visited the capital," Evan tho Abrielle was talking to Gwen her eyes kept darting in Silja's direction who was sitting there calmly.

"They are fine, father is busy handling things outside while the mother is quite busy with internal affairs of the duchy. They said if everything goes well they will be able to visit soon," Gwen was all smiling seeing that all attention was on her. That shows how much importance the queen put on her.

Even her last words were very suggestive.

"That's very good," Abrielle played along.

" They are doing a great job at Rockshire, And I must say you have also grown up very beautiful, I almost can't recognize you when I first saw you," Abrielle's words made Gwen go all red and she looked down shily like a new bride.

"You are flattering me with your grace," she said in a small voice.

Silja rolled her eyes again, in her head. She wanted to meet the queen but now she wanted to go back. Abrielle noticed the look in Silja's eyes.

"Lady Silja, I have never had a chance to meet your parents but now that the first step is taken I wish we will meet soon," Abrielle looked at the red-haired girl. Her eyes took all the small details on her face.

Clad in a simple dress and even without many accessories, she looked just perfect.

On the other hand, Silja was having different thoughts.

'I hope you don't,' Silja muttered in her head. She was sure if her parents could, they would never want to step foot in here or invite Dragons in Atlanea.

But she couldn't say that out loud.

"They will be very happy to meet you if they can," Silja smiled slightly, which didn't reach her eyes.

And Abrielle who has very good experience in reading people didn't miss that.

"Why don't you take some tea?" Abrielle said the maid poured tea in two cups for both the ladies.

Both of them Murmured thanks.

"It is your first time visiting the North. What do you think about it?" Abrielle asked, lifting her teacup.

"Well, if you pardon my bluntness my first impression is not that good, but since I'm going to stay here a bit longer it can be changed too," Silja didn't hold back her blunt words. Unlike Gwen who wanted to do everything to please the queen in order to marry the Prince, Silja has no such a goal. Instead, her first goal was to get out of any possible competition as soon as possible.

Gwen who was sitting beside her frowned at her words but internally she felt happy.

The stupid human was digging her own grave, Gwen thought in her mind.

"Well, what we experienced was an unfortunate event, lady Silja. Don't judge north by that particular incident. But it's alright you will find out soon how amazing and great the north is and the people who live here," Gwen jumped in the discussion, speaking in her coy and extra sweet voice.

Silja pursed her lips and looked at her nice and great people? At least she shouldn't say that.

"I hope I will find out soon," Silja said with a half-smile.

Abrielle who was watching this small exchange smiled brightly. Her husband wasn't wrong about this human princess.

"We will do our best for that, dear. Don't worry you will like this place," Abrielle said.

Silja looked at the woman's bright smile and she had a bad feeling about it.

Abrielle asked all sorts of different questions to Silja and Silja tried to give answers as politely as she could trying not to get rude.

While Gwen sat there in a not-so-happy mood, cursing Silja in her head as she was stealing the queen's attention. But she couldn't show that on her face so she remained mute while smiling and trying to take part in conversation occasionally.

Soon the queen was ready to leave.

"It was very nice to meet both of you, young ladies," Abrielle stood up from her seat.

"It's my honor to meet you," Gwen said in her honey dripping voice.

"It was nice meeting you, your grace," Silja bowed her head a little.

Even though Gwen irritated her the whole time, Silja felt that the queen of the north was a person worth meeting.

She could tell by what she observed that a person like Gwen couldn't fool the woman who looked younger but was more mature and wise. Abrielle took one last look at Silja and then left.
