Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon
Chapter 231: The Gift
"Don't worry wife, it doesn't matter whom I look at, the one in my heart is only you," he knew where this was coming from.
He never thought that Silja could be this sensitive.
His just mere look at lady Liliana made her mad.
"I don't believe in empty words, husband. You have to prove that," Silja turned her head to the side where she could see lady Liliana sitting on the side with her son. She deliberately pressed the word husband.
The woman was busy chatting with another man who was continually smiling at the lady in infatuation and admiration.
It was clear that it was hard to resist such a mature woman for any man.
"I'm not into her, we are just political acquaintances," Donovan murmured in her ears.
"You better keep it that way Donovan," Silja glared at the man. She has let the matter with lady Priscilla pass but that doesn't mean that it doesn't bother her. Silja has thought reasonably and concluded that Donovan's relationship with other women before their marriage has nothing to do with their relationship now.
It was past and she shouldn't take it to heart.
She also believes Donovan's words from earlier. But that doesn't mean that she would let him go if he did that again.
She could take anything but not be deceived and cheated.
Donovan didn't say anything this time nor did he promise. He wanted to show her that he would be able to strengthen their relationship.
He was a man of few words and his actions were louder than words.
He wanted her and will conquer her fully. That there will be not a single seed of doubt in her head.
Donovan pulled her towards him as the music got slower. He casually caressed her waist and Silja relaxed under his touch.
Silja put her head on his chest and let her mind go black.
Soon the dance was over and Donovan led Silja to the side as they set down for a moment.
Silja was heaving a sigh of relief that finally, they were going to get some alone time but how could that be.
Silja was sitting beside her brother.
"When are you going to come to meet father and mother?" Benjamin asked.
According to their previous deal, Donovan and Silja were going to come with them but now they changed the plan.
"It might take two more weeks," Silja guessed.
"That's lot of time," Donovan has told her that he might take two weeks before he will wrap up everything here and will take her to Atlanea back.
"That will be such a long time," Benjamin agreed.
Silja slumped in a chair dejectedly. She wanted to hurry back but she couldn't do anything.
"Brother, please help me convince mother and father about this marriage," Silja said in a lower tone.
"Especially father," she knew he was going to be very mad. Seeing her pleading the brother inside his woke up.
"That is not an easy task sister. I'm sorry but the charges will be high for such a task," Benjamin sipped his wine and said slyly.
"Are you serious?" Silja, who was in a very serious mood, looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Of course, they sent me here to take you back but here you are already married. Do you think father will let me enter the capital on my two legs safely?" Benjamin's lips twitched.
He could already imagine his father breaking him apart for marrying his favourite daughter without his permission.
"Even our mother can not save me this time," Benjamin added.
"What do you want?" Silja asked after some consideration. King Evan was fond of Silja and might not stay angry with her long but that cannot be said for Benjamin. The man was actually going to get a good scolding and may be…. beating.
"Nothing from you but definitely something from your husband," Benjamin looked to the side of Silja where Donovan was sitting.
Donovan was sitting there leisurely, observing the interaction between the siblings.
At the mention of his name, Donovan looked up at Benjamin.
Silja also frowned, puzzled about what might Benjamin need from Donovan.
"What do you need?" Donovan questioned, straightening his back. He has already promised Benjamin everything related to Silja that can be more than Benjamin wants.
When Donovan looked into the eyes of the man he could clearly see something brewing behind those dark orbs.
"I won't tell you now but later when the time is right," Benjamin smiled. As expected the mystery followed.
"Does it make any difference if you tell me now or later?" Donovan asked.
"It does," Benjamin nodded seriously.
"You are talking in a suspicious manner brother," Silja commented. She didn't understand at all. But she knew that if Benjamin wanted something from Donovan then it wouldn't be that simple.
At her comments, Benjamin didn't say anything but shrugged his shoulders.
"Pardon me for interacting with your highness," Silja raised her head to find the same annoying minister who had despised her from the start.
He was none other than minister Mormond. (Chap 81)
"Sire Mormond," it was Donovan who greeted the man enthusiastically.
Silja looked at him with a gaze which said 'since when did you start to become so welcoming and enthusiastic?' in her reply Donovan pulled one corner of his lips upward.
He was just looking for some entertainment and minister Mormond was here to serve himself without being asked.
So how could Donovan let go of such an opportunity.
"Good evening my prince, princess," sire Mormond bowed and greeted Donovan and Silja extremely politely. Silja was rather perplexed seeing such an unexpected behaviour from the man.
Well, this might be the miracle of her status now as a wife of Donovan, thought Silja.
After greeting the couple, the minister looked at Benjamin who was sitting beside Silja. And to everyone's surprise, the man also talked to Benjamin politely.
"It's pleasure to meet you, prince Benjamin,"
Now, this was unexpected. Silja looked at Donovan with raised eyebrows. While Donovan signalled her to stay calm.
Benjamin, who saw the weird exchange with the couple, greeted the ministers politely amidst his confusion.
He has never interacted with the man so he didn't know the dynamic between minister Mormond and Silja. Also, the sheer disgust minister Mormond has shown towards the human race during the time of competition. But suddenly something clicked in Benjamin's head.
As Benjamin took a closer look at minister Mormond's face he realised that Mormond was the same person who had opposed Donovan and Silja's marriage on the day of the announcement. He had said many nasty things about Silja that day. About her being incompetent for being Donovan's wife and so on.
As soon as the realisation struck her the anger marred his face.
How could he forget this man who insulted his sister in front of the whole kingdom.
"Well I'm here to apologise for my previous ignorance and foolishly accusing lady Silja," but before Benjamin could explode the man said in his defence. He has noticed the change of expressions on Benjamin's face.
"But I'm here to apologise for all my sins today," the man added.
"I hope such a generous woman like you lady Silja will definitely pardon me," the man kept saying without letting anyone else.
"Everything I said that day was because of my short-sighted knowledge that I failed to recognise your worth. But you have to forgive me as your poor subject,"
Donovan smiled as he saw the overacting of the man which looked no more than empty flattery.
Silja also felt like rolling her eyes at the man.
But she can't do that. It was obvious that the man was here to put on a show and they had to help him in act to find out his real motives.
"It's okay I didn't do that to my heart," Silja said plainly.
"See I said you are very generous and humble," the man said loudly.
By this time many people have started to pay attention to them.
"Here your highness, this is the gift that I have prepared for you," the man then walked forward and sent the gift to Silja. Silja put her hand on the gift as a gesture of acceptance and then Mira who was standing behind took it.
"You are quite late for presenting the present," Donovan commented.
"Indeed I am. I was very embarrassed earlier, your highness.
"I didn't send the gift earlier because I thought the princess might not appreciate the gift from me after what transpired on the day of your wedding announcement," minister Mormond explained.
