Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon

Everyone held their breath and tension rose in the room.

Zivan then looked towards his father and mother and when Abrielle nodded her head Zivan started to announce the names.

"The first name is Olivia Rochellot," Zivan announced and everyone started to clap.

Olivia rose from her seat gracefully and walked in the middle. She smiled at her brother, Joshua gave her a nod.

Zivan smiled at her and then looked at other ladies.

"The next one who passes the competition is Lady Cecilia," he announced the second name and the lady walked forward. She came and bowed in front of the king.

"The third name is Lady Jade Gracia,"

Jade who was sitting there with her head down slowly looked up and sigh. She walked forward and stood there with others.

Gwen's smile diminished with each passing second as she didn't hear her name being called.

There was just one last name remained and she started to pray for her name to be announced

"And the fourth name is…" Zivan took a good pause there and everyone had their heart in their throats.

Donovan was the only person who may be sitting there with a calm expression on his face. Silja has her head down and she has a hunch that her plan of failing this competition has failed itself long ago.

"Silja Castemont," as the name was announced, everyone went into a frenzy.

Most of the people were dissatisfied with the announcement.

All the ladies who didn't get chosen were also very disappointed. They simply couldn't believe that they lost to lowly humans. Gwen from all of them felt her world crumble.

Did she lose?

She couldn't believe it.

She has done everything right then how can this be.

She sat there with her brain blank. The shock was too much for her to handle.

Seeing that noises were increasing Zivan tried to calm people down.

"Calm down everyone," Zivan raised his hand. But the small murmuring still kept going on.

Zivan narrowed his eyes as he saw them ignoring him.

"I said enough," he raised his voice this time and suddenly everyone quieted down.

His dark black eyes swept everyone around and then stopped at Silja.

"Milady, please walk forward," he said. And Silja was again the centre of attention.

She cursed her luck in her head and then stood up.

"Pardon my bluntness but my king, how can you allow a human to pass this competition where there are more suitable Dragon candidates," it was the minister who spoke earlier.

Actually, his own niece was in the competition but now she was eliminated.

Plus Silja has just talked back to him, so how can he see her win. If his niece wins the competition it will bring many benefits to his household. Thus he was ready to give his all to make her win.

"Your words seem suggestive in the wrong direction sire," Zivan replied looking at the man standing in the middle of the nobel man.

"I'm saying what is truth prince Zivan," he insisted.

"What do you mean sire Mormond? We don't differentiate between humans and dragons," Zivan turned towards the man and asked.

"I'm not trying to belittle humans, my prince. But humans are indeed weak. The second thing is how Lady Silja behaved today. It is proven that she will not be able to fit in our world," minister Mormond said.

"And it was clear from her way of talking that she herself is not interested in staying in the north," minister Mormond didn't want to let any opportunity go. And as he spoke many voices joined him. Spoiling the peace of court again.

"Well, it's natural that she might not understand the rules of the north since it's been just a few days she has come here. But I don't think it's appropriate to say that she is not interested in the competition," Zivan replied.

"But she just menti…." before minister Mormond could finish his sentence Zivan interpreted it in the middle.

"How about we ask the lady herself?" Zivan said with a smile.

He then looked at Silja.

"Lady Silja, do you agree with what sire Mormond said just now?" Zivan looked at Silja with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Silja pursed her lips.

If she said no then it would be like she is disrespectful towards the king. And she didn't think the prince was enough to be her husband. And if she said yes then she would be lying.

Silja didn't want to say yes nor can't she say no.

"I don't," Silja replied after some time.

"See sire Mormond lady denies so there is no point in discussing more," Zivan was quick to wrap the point. One, he was afraid that if sire Mormond speaks more many others would also join him and the second reason was Silja herself.

The woman was human but held a fiery personality. If provoked more she won't look back to attack back and just admit that she isn't interested in his brother.

Phew, so much responsibility on his poor shoulder.

"The court ends here. Congratulations to those who compete. All the ladies who are eliminated are allowed to stay here till last," Zivan didn't give anyone a chance to speak and wrapped everything up.

Zivan sighed and looked at his brother. Donovan nodded his head.

So much sacrifice just to find a wife for you, brother...boohoo.

Zivan cried internally.

Soon king Zachary also shook his head and stood up. Such a dramatic family he has. He left with Abrielle and Genie.

Sam also followed them and at last Don and Zivan also left.

Soon after the royal family left, all the ministers started to take their leave.

Silja knew that she shouldn't stay there or otherwise she would be the target so she left in a rush.

Mira and Brandon were standing just outside and as soon as Mira saw Silja coming out she rushed towards her.

"Milady," Mira was about to hug Silja but she stopped in a nick of time. Well, this wasn't Atlanea and they have to maintain their master-servant relationship.

"How are you," but the worry was evident on her face.

"I'm fine. How have you been?" Silja held Mira's hand. She finally felt little revealed looking at her people's faces.

"Me too," Mira nodded her head.

"Bran, what about you?" Silja looked at him.

And Bran nodded his head in yes.

"What happened inside?" Mira asked. She was very anxious to know what happened and how everything went.

"Not now. We should leave first," Silja said and she led them out of the royal area.

But before she could leave the man area she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Lady Silja," Silja halted her footsteps and turned around in the direction of an unfamiliar voice.

She saw an old man standing not far away from her. He has a gentle smile on his lips and she could tell that he was a human

The way he was dressed he didn't seem like a normal man but someone from a high position.

"Yes?" Silja didn't know who was and she didn't remember seeing him around.

"Hello milady, I'm Darwin Egerton. Im one of the dukes of Northern city Kenton," the man walked over and introduced himself.

Duke? Human?
