Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

So she decided to walk back. But as she was about to turn around she found a slightly ajar door. Being curious she walked ahead and entered the room.

The whole room was filled with so many painting stands. All of them are covered in thin white sheets, hidden from the nude eyes.

Silja walked ahead and extended one of his hands to remove the sheet from one of the paintings.

In the painting was a woman wearing a light blue robe and her natural dark black hair was floating in the air.

She was back facing in the painting as she stood on the small mountain peak. On her shoulder was a small baby dragon, tangled to her neck as they both looked at the setting sun. One of her hands was holding the baby Dragon securely but gently as they both gaze at the heavenly view in front of them.

In front of them was a whole big mountain range laced with greenery. The clouds were so close that they could be touched.

And with the setting sun in the middle of the mountains, the scene looked like it was from another world. 

Everything was captured in the painting beautifully with so much detail that it looked less of a painting but more like real scenery.

A small smile spread on her lips as she extended her hand and ran her fingers on the two figures in the painting. Although their faces weren't drawn in the painting it was still filled with so many emotions and she could feel them.

Silja was drawn into her one world when she heard some noises coming from the outside.

She looked around and slowly walked towards the door.

She was looking around and suddenly bumped her head in something hard.

"Ouch…" Silja winced and took a step back to see from where the wall suddenly popped out in the middle of the doorway only to find a man with dark red eyes standing in front of her.

"You…."

"You…." Both of them spoke at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" Donovan, who was standing in the doorway, was shocked to see her there.

While Silja took a step back suddenly feeling guilty for no reason. 

"I was looking around and then ...lost my way and ended up here," she thought for a moment before coming up with the explanation.

"Ohh," Don lifted his eyebrows and looked at her with a searching gaze which told Silja that he didn't believe what she said.

Silja pursed her lips and looked down.

But then she suddenly thought ' why am I feeling guilty? I didn't do anything wrong, I was just looking around, not that I'm a thief,' she mumbled in her head.

And then she looked up feeling oddly confident.

He was just one of the guards anyway, not that he owns this place.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, pointing her finger at the man dominantly.

She didn't know why she always ran into this same man. Unless he was stalking her purposely.

" Don't tell me that you were doing your duty. Are you stalking me?" She asked as she pointed her finger at the man. Was it possible that king Zachary has assigned a spy to keep an eye on her?

The more Silja thought about it, the more sure she became. Otherwise, it was impossible that she ran into the same guard again and again.

Donovan had just come from the barrack where he was training the soldiers. The clothes he was wearing were simple and dirty but still, he wasn't looking like a mere guard from the castle.

No matter how he thought he couldn't think how she got the idea of him being just a mere guard. Couldn't she take a good look at his face and use her brain a bit more. He shook his head.

"This is prince Donovan's courtyard," instead of replying to her question he stated.

Silja's eyes widened after hearing what he said. 

She was surely running out of luck. Silja shook her head. But why was he being so arrogant while saying that? She looked up at the guard whose name she didn't know.

"So what? Can't I come here? Is it some forbidden place?" She threw question after question.

Silja then turned around and started to walk further into the room.

"Stop right there," but suddenly she heard the man's cold voice from behind.

Her footsteps halted for a second before she turned around.

Looking at the man who was glaring at her.

"Yes this is a forbidden place for outsiders and Prince Donovan doesn't like people roaming around in here," Don said he wanted to tell her that he was Donovan but for some reason, he enjoyed how clueless she was about his identity so he didn't break his persona. 

Silja was shocked hearing his furious words and dominating aura.

Why it looked like he is more angry than the prince himself would be seeing someone in here.

"It would be better if he himself said that. And as I said before I wasn't roaming here on purpose. I was looking around and lost my way," Silja explained even though it wasn't necessary.

Deep down she didn't want him to misunderstand her and then complain about her to the prince. That will draw unnecessary attention towards herself.

"Why are you here but, didn't you go to the fair?" Suddenly he remembered and asked out loud.

Almost all the people went to the fair and all the guards guarding his courtyard were given one day off. And that's why she could enter this place freely.

"My legs were hurting," Silja blurted out the one excuse she had prepared. 

Donovan looked at her down to her lower body.

She was roaming far away from her chamber almost in opposite directions of the castle and she still has the cheek to say that her legs were hurting.

'What a liar,'  he narrowed his eyes and Silja could tell he didn't believe her.

She was walking back towards the door as she didn't want to stay there longer.

But in her haste, she didn't realize and tripped on the colour plate which was on the ground and fell forward.

Donovan who saw her falling extended his hand and she fell right in his arms while he stumbled two steps back.

Silja's head bumped again in his chest and her nose started to hurt.

What in the World he is eating to get this solid body,

She complained in her head as tears stung her eyes.

"So clumsy," on the top of that man sneered from above.

Silja looked up and found his insanely handsome face just above her and her eyes couldn't help but stare more.
