Chapter 234: The Marriage Proposal

"It's another thing that you like your wife but doesn't forget that's not how you rule the kingdom," Zachary yelled and banged his hand loudly on the table.

"I did everything considering the same thing father said," Donovan replied calmly.

"Come to the point," Zachary growled.

"I'm planning to start Silja's training soon and many things can happen during that. Until we figure out a proper way to break the course and Silja's full potential of power we can't take risks," Donovan explained.

"After the last witch attack, I'm sure that even the castle is not completely safe. If anyone found out about Silja's reality her life would be in danger. And thus cleaning is necessary," Donovan's voice was as calm as water.

"There are people who are ready to devour you as soon as you make one mistake Donovan. They won't hesitate to dethrone me even for a second," Zachary argued.

"They don't have that much strength nor power," Donovan reassured his father.

"They can change public opinion," Zachary pointed out.

"We won't let them," it was Zivan who walked forward.

"You should not underestimate the power of icecrain and Astraxia," Zachary has his own concerns.

"Will have Grimfront and others by our side," Donovan argued.

"Grimefront? Will they stay by our side after what happened?" Zachary asked.

"Why would they say no when you offer them enough benefits," Donovan smiled.

"What benefits?" Zachary asked.

But Donovan didn't say anything and just looked at Zivan.

Zachary also followed his gaze and stared at Zivan. 

"Why are you guys looking at me?" He asked baffled.

"Nothing," Donovan shook his head. But Zivan felt his heart sinking.

"Don't worry it's nothing," Donovan pat Zivan's head.

"We are under so much pressure. We could take it slower," Zachary said to change the topic.

"We have already wasted so much time, father. Years of torment is not a small amount of time," Donovan replied.

Zachary couldn't say anything anymore. He slumped in his chair dejected.

"Don't worry father, I will handle everything," Donovan walked towards the old man.

"It has been a long battle," Zachary murmured slowly.

"But now I want to retire," he looked up at his son.

"Not so soon father. You have to witness the rise of your kingdom before you can retire," Donovan smiled.

Zachary looked at his sons' bright face. Glimmering with hope. His children were the reason he could hold everything till now. And if he wanted to see them win he had to stay by their side.

So he could help them if they fall, there should be someone to support the right.

Zachary didn't say anything and smiled.

"I want to hear from the Harthem family that they will be by our side," Zachary ordered. He wanted action, not just words.

"As you say father," Donovan smiled.

Soon both the boys left the study chamber.

"Why did you looked at me that way earlier when our father asked about benefits?" As soon as they moved out of the room Zivan asked.

"When?" Donovan raised his eyebrows.

"Don't fool me, brother," Zivan said pitifully. 

"I have heard that lady Liliana has a daughter," Donovan said.

"Yes, Marcella, arrogant, short-tempered with no filter on the mouth. What about her?" Zivan asked while narrowing his eyes.

"You seem to have quite a good knowledge about her?" Donovan's lips arched in a smile.

"Keeping knowledge about everyone is what I do brother," Zivan's lips twitched.

"Nothing, lady Liliana thinks that her daughter has reached the age of marriage and she is looking for a groom," Donovan said casually and started to walk.

Zivan also followed behind to find out more.

"And?"

"And I happen to have a younger brother of an age too," Donovan completed his sentence.

Bammmm

Zivan staggered a few steps back in horror.

"Are you saying what I'm understanding?" He asked in horror.

Before Donovan could understand anything Zivan fell on his knees.

"No brother, no. Have mercy," he held Donovan's legs tightly.

"Let go of me," Donovan pulled his leg but Zivan was holding it in a tight grip.

"What mistake did I make brother tell me? I will reflect upon my behaviour but don't give me this type of punishment," Zivan shook his head vigorously.

"She is so arrogant and headstrong. How could you marry me to such a girl? Look at my sister in law, how gentle she is. Can't you find someone like her?" Zivan pleaded.

"She is one of a kind," Donovan smiled arrogantly.

"No worries. It's ok if the girl is only a tenth of her but not this girl please brother," Zivan rubbed his head on Donovan's thighs pitifully. His crocodile tears were smearing Donovan's trousers. 

"I said let go," frustrated Donovan kicked the man in his chest and Zivan fell on the ground.

"Do this again and I will find an even worse girl for you," came the angry words and Donovan started to walk away from there leaving pitiful Zivan there crying alone.

Soon Zachary came out of the study hearing commotion. 

As soon as Zivan saw him he went to his father in hope. 

"If he has decided then we can not do anything," before Zivan could even speak a word of his begging, Zachary lifted his hand in the air.

"How could you do this to me father?" Zivan cried pitifully.

Zachary shook his head at his son and then walked away, indifferently.

Soon the night passed and dawn came. Silja's eyes opened before the sun rays fell on the ground.

As soon as she opened her eyes Donovan's face filled her vision.

She was sleeping in his arms while their faces were just an inch apart.

He was so close that Silja could see small pores on his skin. Small hair of his one day grown beard was visible too. He was sleeping peacefully and looked totally different when his scary red eyes were closed.

It was a rare sight to see him sleeping. Otherwise always before she woke up he would have already left.

Silja stayed like that for a while and then tried to free herself from his grasp. She then slowly walked out of the bed and entered the bath.

Last night she waited for him but in the end, she fell asleep without her knowing. She didn't even realize when he came back.

So Silja decided to have breakfast with him and the whole family.

Since her marriage or before that they never had even a single meal together with the whole family. 

Back in Atlanea, there was a rule that all the members present in the Castle had to have at least one meal together.

Her father thinks that it bonds the family and keeps them closer.

So this was a perfect opportunity since the whole Regalhelm family was together.

Silja prepared the clothes and opened the tap to fill the bath with warm water.

Donovan doesn't like maids roaming around so Silja has decided to do everything by herself.

She took the scented soap and poured it into the water, instantly filling the whole bath with the scent of sandalwood.

"Flop," the night robe fell on the ground and with her small deity legs, she walked towards the bath.

But suddenly two strong hands gripped her.

Silja gasped in surprise but she soon recognised his musculin scent.

"You are awake?" She asked, thinking about the luck inside her head that she didn't remove her clothes all the way. She was still wearing her petticoat.

"You didn't wake me up!" Donovan as usual pressed his face in the crook of her neck, enjoying her Marin fresh scent. His voice was a bit hoarse since he was just woken up.

"You were looking very tired," Silja said without moving and letting him hug her.

She was becoming more and more comfortable around him and Donovan smiled at that realisation.

"You should go out. I need to take a bath," Silja said after some time.

"We can bathe together," Donovan looked up and then slowly pushed her towards the bath.

"I don't think that is a good idea," Silja protested weakly.

"Why not?" Donovan gently pushed towards the steps. The bath was very big and easily accommodated two people.

"It will be very time-consuming!?" Silja said nervously.

"Not at all, we can help each other and it will be more comfortable and…speedy," Donovan smiled. He wasn't going to take no for that and in the end, Silja surrendered weakly.

After making out for a whole long hour Donovan let her go. Although they didn't take things to the next level Silja was still left dazed by all his teasing.

Donovan helped her to move out and he even insisted on clothing her.

Donovan also helped Silja dry her hair. 

With his gentle movement, he dried every single hair of her. 

Silja was so touched by this small gesture of his.

"Are you touched?" Donovan asked seeing her looking at him with a loving gaze.
