Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Silja pursed her lips as she saw them living in the worst condition. There were not a few but hundreds of people living in slum-like areas.

"What do these people do for a living?" She asked.

Most of the people were leaving their house.

It was still early in the morning and the sun had just risen from the horizon.

"Most of them are slaves and work as domestic help in houses of nobles," Carlo replied casually. Silja nodded her head.

"Are witches and dwarfs welcomed in the city?" Humans were comparatively weak but witches and dwarves can be threats to the dragon. They can be spies or something more threatening.

"Those who are of different races and live here have their roots from here. Before the war broke out their families used to live here and thus this is their mother land from the start," Carlo explained.

"What about society accepting them?" Silja asked another question.

"What do you think? People always frown upon what is different and not to mention who is weak and in the minority. But the rules are strict about not harming the other races who live here. so all these people are barely hanging on to thread by living and adjusting to conditions," he replied.

"But the dragon people still enslaved the humans," Silja pointed.

"Slavery is part of our society. One who is powerful can enslave anyone as long as they want. Weak people who don't have any other means to survive and fill their stomach choose to accept their fate," he explained.

"What do you think about humans?" Silja asked.

"Weak, useless, stupid," he replied without looking at her and without bothering to sugarcoat his words.

"Do you think it's their fault they are in this condition like this?" Silja asked.

"No, when you live under the King who is from another race than yours, you will automatically be surpassed by them," Carlo replied.

"Witches, dwarfs or humans all live on dragon land so it's normal that they will be belittled and ignored. That is how society works," he added.

"Dragon tries to surpass them and thus bully them since the weak can not retaliate," Silja said.

"Right," Carlo nodded.

"Hmm, what about you? What do you think of humans?" Silja asked.

"For me, everyone's the same, no matter humans, dragons, witches or dwarfs, they all are trash," he clicked his tongue.

Silja shook her head as she listened to him.

"Hey Jacob, what are you doing on this site?" As they were walking they heard someone yelling from behind.

Carlo, who was walking, cursed under his breath and turned around. The man in dirty and oversized clothes was coming towards half running and half walking.

"Jacob?" Silja looked at Carlo with narrowed eyes.

"Ahem...I'm busy right now Jon. See you never," Carlo avoided eye contact and looked at the plum man. After he was done speaking he started walking.

"Wait..wait, my friend. What are you doing on this side?" The man stood in front of them and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Nothing, now move out of my way," Carlo gave a harsh push to the man.

"Come," then he looked at Silja and they both started to walk away.

"Ooh, friend, where are you going….ummm… who is this pretty lady with you…" the man named Jon kept yelling from behind. But Carlo kept walking without paying any heed to him escaping successfully.

The whole day Silja and Carlo or Jacob… ahem spent together. While Silja kept asking questions to him randomly.

They kept walking in the market as Carlo came to send her to the house she was staying in. She has to admit that she has chosen the right man for the tour. He was best at it and spoke his mind without trying to appease anyone.

They were talking near the alley while Silja was laughing at something that Carlo said. But both of them were unaware of the fact that two pairs of the eyes were located on them for some time now.

One were of Donovan who has come to meet Silja saw her standing with a man whom he recognised as a thief from before.

He narrowed his eyes as they were laughing together.

But he kept a safe distance and didn't interpret them.

Carlo left after deciding the time of the next day. Silja was about to leave when suddenly she found a familiar face standing in front of her.

She was shocked for a moment before she recognised the man.

"Lord Joshua?" She took two steps back and asked in a surprised voice.

"Lady Silja, how are you?" The man asked with a big smile on his lips.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Silja was confused about how this man popped out from nowhere.

"Now that I have met you here, I'm more than fine," he replied.

Cheesy. Silja gave him a tight smile.

"What are you doing here?" Silja asked as she made her way towards the house.

"Ohh I was here to meet Olivia, I couldn't help but feel worried about my little sister you know," he replied.

"Ohh but I thought it was against the rules to meet family members during this time," Silja furrowed her brows.

"Helping them is against the rules but I'm sure King Zachary won't punish me for looking at my sister from afar," he replied.

"Ohh," Silja smiled. Nice excuse.

"How's your preparation going?" He asked.

She wasn't sure if she should keep in contact with this man or not. Icecrain was poor before but after Joshua took the position as the lord he made many changes and now man gained very good footing in the higher-ups.

So the man was worthy and smart. But how can he come to be used to her?

And can he be trusted? Silja asked in her head.

"It's fine. The competition is confusing but it really doesn't matter to me," Silja replied.

"Why doesn't it matter to you? Why is that so?" Joshua asked.

"As a human princess I don't think I will have a chance to win the competition," Silja replied with a smile. Joshua looked at her but he didn't find regrets on her face.

"As a human, how can I be compared to dragons," she added.

"I don't think so my lady, I saw you that day fighting in the arena you did better than any other dragon lady. And I don't see you lacking in terms of intelligence or status," he praised her. And he wasn't lying when Joshua praised her. He was interested in her from the day of the ball and on the day of the second competition, he couldn't help but admire her calmness and bravery. Not to forget her status as a human princess which was higher than him.

He wanted to meet her and make a connection but couldn't find a chance.

So now when he saw her Joshua didn't want to waste any second to miss.

"And not to forget you can definitely give tough competition to any noble female dragon in terms of beauty, my lady," he said with a flirty smile on his lips.

"You think so, my lord?" Silja asked with the same smile on her lips.

She has a gut feeling from the start that the man was interested in her but to what extent and can he be trusted. Well, sir Henry said to make connections and this can be a start. No one is a saint here and she has to play it by their style. Anything is fair in politics. Since she is here she should try to do something productive for her country.

"Well, I do, my lady," Joshua bent a little and took her hand in his. He planted a soft kiss on the back of her hand.

"It is fortunate that humans and dragons have finally decided to come together. Things will be more smooth from now on between the two races," he added.

"I wish so," Silja replied.

"I must say it was very courageous of you to come here alone and trust us with your life," He kept talking and Silja kept trying to judge his personality and motives in her head.

"I think I should take leave, it won't look appropriate if someone sees us here together, after all, it's a time of competition," Silja finally said.

"Yeah and you must be tired too," the man agreed.

"I will take my leave then, I hope to get more chances to meet an excellent lady like you," Joshua said before leaving.

Silja heaved a sigh of relief as he saw him walking away in the street. Then she started to move towards the house.

But suddenly as she was passing a corner someone pulled her in nearby aelly.

The person placed his hand on her mouth so that she couldn't yell.

Silja struggled with her hands and feet but the strong body that was holding her didn't let her.

"Don't struggle," suddenly a husky voice sounded near her ears.
