Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

At the end of the day, Silja paid him the silver ingot she had promised and asked him to meet her at the same place the next morning.

While Silja was busy in Northcrest Benjamin was travelling north to meet his sister.

"If the situation doesn't get worse, we will be able to reach there in the next week," One of the crew members informed Benjamin.

Who was standing near the deck while the waves were crashing on the ship. The storm was strong and the ship was barely hanging.

But Benjamin didn't care about that. Only one thing in his mind was to reach the North as soon as possible. He didn't care that the way they chose to reach early was dangerous and filled with disasters. All he wanted was to meet his sister as soon as possible.

"Some...some…" the crewman wanted to say something but he was hesitating.

"What is it? Benji looked at him and asked.

"The..wind is very harsh and the way ahead seems more dangerous. It's hard to say if we will be able to cross the serpent belly or not, so some of the crew members were asking if we should change the dir….direction…" he finally completed his sentence after so many pauses. He has travelled with prince Benjamin many times on many adventures but the way the prince was behaving this time was old. He has heard that he was going north to get his sister back whom Dragon king has forced to go north.

When king Evan sent his favourite daughter away many types of speculations started to spread in the public of Atlanea. Some were angry while some didn't care much about what happened to their princess but still it was the talk of the town. Even though the news was tried to be suppressed it spread like a winding fire with all kinds of speculations and rumours.

And that was Maybe the reason that their prince was hurrying them to reach north.

But the condition wasn't favourable and that's why all the crew members were suggesting to change the way.

"No.." but the idea was rejected by Benjamin completely in a beat.

"But your highness, the situation is not favourable. We can be caught in whirlpools or in tropical storms..." the man argued but Benjamin gave him just one look and the man was quick to shut his mouth.

"I want to reach the North as soon as possible. Is that clear?" His authoritative voice didn't leave any room for the man to argue or do reasoning with him.

He bowed his head and left to pass the news to all other people.

By normal means, it takes about a month to reach to the North but there was a shortcut that hardly few know about. None of the sailors dared to pass through the way since the sea was more unstable on the way.

It was a dead zone and many sailors had lost their lives, while the one who passed through it by pure luck swore never to take the same way again.

But Benjamin didn't care. As long as he could reach the North faster he was ready to take risks.

The way was not easy but he was not a common sailor, he was the prince of land where people depend on the sea. From childhood, the ocean was his second home and he was never afraid of sailing. No matter how dangerous this voyage turned out to be he was ready.

As the crew member left Benji looked at the vast ocean in front of him. The waves were high and the wind was increasing the speed of the ship so it was even hard to control it for the captain.

His hand involuntarily went to his chest where a small round pendant was hanging which had a snake carved on it.

The design was small and the pendent itself was old.

As he looked at it he remembered what his father told him when he left Atlanea.

"She has come to our life as blessings and a new beginning, don't let her existence become a curse for herself. No matter what, she is your sister anyway, related by blood or not," King Evan has said while giving him the family heirloom, the white pendant.

And a small smile spread on his lips.

By the time Silja reached their assigned house a few of the girls had gone to sleep. Some of them were sitting in the front yard speaking to each other.

Silja first went to the kitchen and saw it was the same as before and no one had cooked anything. Silja cooked a simple soup and ate it with bread.

She soaked her feet in hot water before going to bed so they don't hurt much.

When the Next day arrived, Silja went to the kitchen so she could cook something for breakfast. She can save energy by eating outside but why waste money when you can get to eat what you want for free. All she had to do was just spare some time in the kitchen.

The maid who was assigned to keep an eye on them was having her meal. Silja smiled and decided to cook something light for herself before leaving.

She met Carlo in their destined place.

He was wearing the same clothes from yesterday and as usual, his head was a mess.

"Good morning, princess Silja," as soon as he saw her he bowed his head with a sloppy smile on his lips.

Silja narrowed her eyes as she heard him greeting her with her real name.

"How did you find out?" Silja lifted her eyebrows but didn't let him notice her surprise.

"Do you think only you have contacts in the castle?" the man smiled proudly.

"Impressive!" She knew the man was smart and more than what it looks to eyes but he really surprised her with how fast he was able to find out about her.

"Well you took a hard approach, if you would have asked me I would have answered," she smiled.

"Huh? You think I believe that?" He scoffed.

"But I admire your connection, spies in the castle huh?" Silja said.

"What can be a bigger connection than the most powerful prince wrapped around your fingers," he commented.

"I have no one wrapped around my fingers and furthermore I don't have any interest in him," Silja scoffed. If it was possible she would most likely to stay away from him. As far as possible.

"Come on my lady, don't lie now. Didn't we all witness that day when you sent me to prison," he commented.

"What do you mean?" Silja asked. Well, what happened that day was pure luck.

"Ahh come don't pretend, my lady," he smiled with hidden meaning in it and Silja couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

She has met their legendary prince only once. And the second time was when she saw him in the arena during the second competition. But she decided not to argue and didn't prob future on the topic.

"So where are we going?" Silja asked after some time.

"Well from my yesterday's experience I found that you don't like places I showed you yesterday so I decided to go for something new and different," he replied.

"And what is that?" Silja questioned.

"You will find out when we reach there," he said. Then he stopped a ferry which was passing by and they took a ride.

As they moved forward Silja saw they were moving out of the city and the area was becoming more and more deserted.

She looked at the man sitting a step down from her but decided to observe for now.

Soon they reached the backward areas of the capital. There were barely any people living there. There were small huts and broken houses in the distance and she could see few people walking around and some were arguing with each other. The place was dirty and unhygienic.

As they stopped near the small community Silja walked down.

"Welcome to the slums of the city," Carlo spread his hands in front of him.

Silja looked around and could see the difference between what she used to see and what she was seeing now.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked, looking at the man.

"Well I also found during my research that this is part of the competition so I thought that it may help you," he replied.

Silja didn't reply to his question and they both walked ahead. Silja was absolutely beautiful and even though she was dressed as a commoner she still became the reason for attraction in the area. Few people started to stare as they walked ahead.

"Open your eyes and look at these people who are of your own kind," Carlo commented and Silja snapped her head towards him.

"Yes most of them are humans, some are the weak dragons and you might find a few hidden witches and dwarfs too," he whispered in the last part of his sentence.
