Chapter 177: Sacrificing Princess And The Crest

"Hmm, I have guessed that much. What else?" Donovan behaved rather indifferently.

"Aren't you mad?" Silja thought that once he found out about this plan he would surely be made but he was rather calm.

"Well, I can expect this much from him. Given the relationship our two kingdoms have shared, it is a bit odd to accept marriage between you and me. However I think your family is reacting a bit much," Don told her his honest thoughts.

Even Silja agreed to it. She has already told the benefits that they will get from this union but it was as if her brother was being unreasonably stubborn to hear anything.

"It's not like we are any small kingdom compared to Atlanea. If one looks at it, The Northern empire is good at everything compared to Atlanea. And if they are worried about the union of such an odd pair of human and dragon, I don't think this is something new. Before the war broke out on four continents this was a very common occurrence. And even now it is," Donovan wanted to clear everything in Silja's mind; he didn't want her to enter their marriage with any doubts.

Silja heard his reasoning and felt that he was right. 

But what can she do? She had tried to explain things to her brother but he wasn't listening.

"But don't worry. If your parents and brother are not satisfied with me as your husband then it's my duty to change their opinion. I will talk to your brother," he held Silja's hand with one and with others he patted her head.

Silja felt revealed when she heard that.

They were still walking along with the river flow.

They enjoyed the silence for a moment before Silja remembered something.

"What's the matter with Kruel and his mother? Why are they here?" She wanted to ask this for quite some time.

"To negotiate," Don replied.

Silja couldn't help but frown.

Negotiation?

"He has put forward some demands. If we fulfill them he will never bother us and will sign a peace treaty," Don replied with a dull smile.

Peace treaty…

Silja couldn't help but feel a bad hunch in her heart.

"Are you planning to accept it?" Silja asked cautiously.

"Huh, you wouldn't be asking that if you knew about his demands," Don replied.

Yes, of course, if the condition would be that simple then this conflict wouldn't have reached this point.

"What are the demands?" Silja asked.

"He wants me to hand him the royal crest of dragons and…," Don paused.

"And?" Silja tilted her head.

"And the person who helped me kill the intruder who invaded our castle sometime ago," Don locked his gaze on Silja as he completed his sentence.

Silja's eyes widened at his reply.

Wasn't she, herself, was the person who helped him capture the witch?

"Yes it's you," Donovan confirmed her doubt.

"I see," Silja looked down and thought for a bit.

"Does he know that I'm the one who helps you at that time?" Silja looked at Donovan.

"Not for now at least," Donovan shook his head. And he prefers it to be that way.

'Not for now...that means he can know about it as long as Donovan decides to tell him.

"So what is your answer? Are you accepting the deal?" Silja asked curiously.

From what she thinks it wasn't much of a price if one thinks carefully. Just a woman and a crest in exchange for restoring peace.

"What do you think I should do?" Instead of answering he threw the question at her.

Silja thought for a bit," From my point of view these are not big demands. Seeing the condition dragons are living in for years now. Just a small sacrifice of a foreign princess and a family jewel and you can save thousands of lives and resources that are being wasted in the wars every year," Silja said calmly. As if the foreign princess she just mentioned wasn't her but someone else.

"I always wonder why I fell for you, but now I know," Donovan halted his steps and turned towards her with a smile.

"Why?" Silja asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Because I have never seen anyone as calm and smart as you. You are far more witted than any woman out there. One of the finest I have ever known," he bent his head a little and touched her head with his. A beautiful smile on his lips.

Silja smiled at the compliment then she pushed him away and took a step back and sat down on the ground.

"So, prince Donovan, are you ready to end this war between Witches and dragons by accepting Kruel's offer?" Silja lifted her head and looked at him who was standing behind her.

Donovan gave her a meaningful smile and then sat down beside her.

"Well Although the offer is very tempting I don't want to lose such a beautiful future wife who seems to be the perfect match for me," Donovan placed his hand around her and pulled her in his arms.

Silja maintained a smile when she asked that question but her heart was actually trembling from frenzy thinking what might be his answer.

And when he replied she felt like someone had set her heart free from that unknown fear she had in her heart.

Trust wasn't something that you can have in others without any reason. It is an emotion that builds up slowly with time.

The way Silja and Donovan's relationship started the most lacking element in it was the trust.

There was attraction and love but the trust which is the base of any relationship was a bit weak in their relationship.

And despite the fact that Silja has claimed that she wanted to marry him there was a bit of doubt in her heart, but the iceberg of doubt seems to be melting now, little by little with each passing day.

"Are you sure? You are losing a great deal here," Silja probed further.
