Chapter 222: Calista Regalhelm -2

Donovan shook his head and then continued nonetheless. He has never shared this with anyone but with her, it was like she deserved to know his each and every secret. Donovan smiled and then pursed his lips.

"Well I can't speak anymore I'm thirsty," he bound his hand against his chest. Mischief dancing in his red phoenix eyes.

"Huh, where can we find water here?" Silja looked confused.

"There, down there is a small trail of water running down from the hill," Donovan pointed out not far away.

Silja's nose flared up when she understood what he meant. He wanted her to go and fetch water for him. Well even though there was nothing wrong in that she could do such a small thing for her husband. But he was doing this to tease her so Silja puffed her cheeks.

But Donovan acted as if he couldn't speak anymore if he didn't get to drink water, he ran his hand through his throat as if he was feeling very thirsty and hadn't drunk anything in years.

Silja narrowed her eyes but she wanted to hear more so she stood up and walked ahead to fetch the water.

She found some long leaves and made a bowl-like structure and managed to get two sips of water to Donovan.

"That's all?" Donovan frowned and Silja rolled her eyes, "Drink,"

"Help me," Donovan opened his mouth near her hand. Silja has no way but to comply with his requests.

She helped him drink the water carefully without wasting a single drop.

Then she threw the bowl and sat beside him, "Continue now," she urged him. 

"But I want more," he looked pitifully at the leaf cup laying on the ground. "Donovan…" Silja glared at him and Donovan burst into laughter. 

"Alright... alright... I'm telling the story.." 

"The story after that is a bit bloody. My father and mother stayed in their hideout till the time she became pregnant with me. When my mother found out about her pregnancy she thought that maybe hearing about their grandchild her father would soften a little. So they returned to Northcrest which was under the lordship of the Regalhelm family," Donovan looked in the distance.

"But they were wrong because Drayce has gone completely mad. He started the war with Regalhelms and none of the party wanted to back off. Argas couldn't help but fight back to save his son and daughter in law who was pregnant with his grandchild. Calista decided that she will meet her father. Trying to salvage the situation from war. With her seven months pregnant belly she reached her maternal home. But for Drayce she wasn't his daughter anymore. She was black spots on his reputation. A traitor who rebelled against him," 

Silja could tell what the situation might be.

Because she remembered how her own father had reacted when she said that she wanted to come to Atlanea to marry prince Donovan.

"Don't know what exactly happened but soon the news spread about Drayce's death. As his single living heir, my mother took over the charge of his kingdom the other day. She surpassed the rebellions. Took the army under her control and merged her lordship with Regalhelms. The news of my father and mother spreaded throughout the continent," 

"She soon gave birth to a boy. She named him Donovan Regalhelm," Donovan smiled looking at Silja.

"So was it because of her pure bloodline you got those powers?" Silja asked, confused.

"Yes, it was said that my great-grandfather used to possess such a gift. And after that I received one as one of the descendants," Donovan nodded.

"It is very rare and people who possessed such ability keep it a secret," he added. "Not many know about mine,"

"How did you learn to use it without anyone's guidance," she asked with curiosity.

"In the beginning I didn't know how this works but slowly you started to learn. It's um...like trial and error," Donovan explained.

Silja nodded in understanding. "Do you think I can try that too?" She looked at him expectantly. 

"Your powers are different but I think you should try. I can see that you have already improved by not giving in completely when your powers surge through," he took his hand and said reassuringly. Silja was not purely Witch, she is the daughter of two different races couple. It might not work completely for her.

"Let's give it a try," Silja said and nodded. If Donovan could cultivate his powers then she could. Until she could find out the root of all this she has to try her best that things are in her control.

"What about your mother? What happened after that?" Donovan heard Silja tilted her head in his direction.

Donovan didn't say anything for quite some time. His face suddenly filled with gloominess and the colour of his eyes darken further.

Silja pressed her hand lightly on his.

"Soon after I was born she fell ill. The illness was incurable and she died not long ago," Donovan's voice became grim. For the first time, Silja saw sadness in his eyes. His jaw clenched tightly eye blinking continuously to force back the pain and grief.

"I'm sorry," Silja muttered softly. Then she extended her hand and pulled him in her arms.

"She must have been an incredible woman," she softly murmured. "She was," Donovan replied confidently and put his head on her shoulder, while their fingers entangled. Both of them looked ahead of them where they could see the Northcrest city. It was already late at night and the City looked extremely beautiful from the above. Lanterns and oil lamps burning on streets and outside people's houses were looking pretty.

Donovan looked at Silja to find her looking at the city view without blinking. In the dark, her eyes were shimmering. And Donovan felt like the city lights far away cannot compare to that glimmer of hope in the girl's eyes. He was no longer interested in looking at the sky to look at stars or the city for light. He found that everything he needed was beside him.. And his mood improved.
