Chapter 78: Being Played By Each Other

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Since you are here to marry a prince, just seduce him and marry him. Why take this long route of competition,'' Carlo said frustratingly.

"Who said I'm here to marry him?" Silja snapped. She was already burning with rage and now his words only added fuel to fire 

"I'm not here to marry any prince nor I'm interested. I was literally forced to come here by your king," Silja blurted out in spite of her emotion.

"What?" Carlo narrowed his eyes as the meaning of her words sank in.

Silja pursed her lips and closed her eyes, restraining herself to speak more than she already had.

Carlo looked at her and realised why the woman was behaving so differently from others. How her attitude was never to win the competition from the first day.

But what about the instructions the prince gave him this morning? 

Well, his attitude was also different. He has never seen him taking care of any of his hookups before.

So there was more than it looks to eyes.

But what can that be? Carlo's brain was running at high speed.

Why did King Zachary force a human princess to take part in his son's bride choosing ceremony?

Why is prince Donovan who never takes Interest in women more than her body is now asking him to take care of a human female?

Did he make a mistake in understanding the value of the woman sitting in front of him?

Otherwise, why would both sly men from the Regalhelm family take interest in her?

Carlo lifted his eyebrows.

"I understand if you are feeling angry but trust me princess there is nothing you can do about it," Carlo said.

"To do this one needs a certain position and that alone is not enough. So don't involve yourself in something you can't control," he said.

"Even though you are a princess in your land here you are nothing more than a human girl who is alone and unprotected," Carlo said.

"And about you feeling terrible looking at these people? I can understand why that is so. You are here far from your country and generally, in this situation, people do feel love for their motherland and people similar to them are increasing. So they tried to do good deeds and save them. Same is the case for you," he explained. 

"You are just missing your people and that's why you just want to do something for humans living here," he added.

Hearing his explanation Silja felt like killing him.

Does he mean that she is out of her mind or just pretending?

Her rage increased. And Carlo took a few steps back in fear.

Why the hell is this woman so scary? He yelled in his head.

After clearing his throat and controlling his fear the man dared to open his mouth again.

" A wise advice is to just stay away from this. Otherwise, who knows one you will find yourself in deep trouble. Your status as a princess is useless in this land," he said his wise words.

Silja looked at him but didn't say anything. His words weren't entirely wrong.

While Silja and Carlo were inside, Zivan's man who was following them was standing outside of the market for a long time. He started to get anxious as they didn't come out even after a long time. He couldn't get in so there was no way to find out what was going on. His master has asked him to keep a close eye on the woman and also the man with her was number one bendit and can not be trusted. 

Inside Silja and Carlo sat there for a while and Carlo let her cool down before he took her out.

"Wait," they just were about to leave but suddenly Silja stopped him.

"What is it now?" Carlo asked with a tired sigh.

'Boohoo.. it is so hard to serve these royals,' he cried internally.

"The man inside…...Noah. He is your friend right?" Silja asked.

"Yes," Carlo titled his head. Trying to guess what she wanted to do.

"Will he do what you said?" She asked again.

"Depends," Carlo replied cautiously. Silja nodded her head in understanding.

"Here," then she took out a big pouch from her dress pocket. And extended it towards Carlo.

"This..?" Carlo took the pouch in confusion and he realised that it was filled with ingots.

"Give this to your friend, I may not be able to do much, but with this, they can at least have a proper meal for the next fifteen days," Silja replied and Carlo looked at her with no words.

"Are you sure?" He asked to confirm and Silja nodded her head. 

It was all silver that king Zachary has given them to use in these three days.

She has taken it with her today with the intention to give it to people living in slums.

But after coming here she realised that these people need it more. It wasn't much help but something was still better than nothing.

"Alright then," Carlo asked her to wait for him there and he went in to deliver the message and money.

Silja took a deep breath and calmed herself down. This was all she can do now. 

Carlo returned after a few minutes and they both left the house.

The man assigned by Zivan took a sigh of relief as he saw them coming out and leaving the slave market.

On the way back Silja's mood was off so instead of sending her straight, Carlo took her to the market. Silja was in no mood to eat so they skipped the meal and just wandered around the whole day.

The man assigned by Zivan tailed them the whole day. And when finally they started to come back he saw both of them being attacked but instead of taking action he waited for some time and he found how skilful the girl was unlike the other Nobel ladies. 

After Silja went to the house he returned back and reported everything to Zivan.

And that's how Zivan already knew what she had done during the whole day.

#Back to the present day in the castle#

Zivan looked at the girl and felt a headache coming. 

She was definitely playing with them but she won't be able to do that easily as long as he is there.

With an evil smirk on his face, Zivan looked at her.

"Then my lady, when you went to tour around the city, what did you see?" He asked with a smile.

Silja looked at him with annoyance and wondered why he was so annoying. He didn't ask any further questions to any other ladies then why he is trying to stretch this conversation now.

"Just some shops and travens," again the short answer.

"Ohh you must have visited the east part of the City then right?" Zivan said and nodded his head.

"Yes," she said hastily.

"Hmm then you must have seen the clock tower there," Zivan said with a smile.

Silja wanted to say yes but she suddenly paused in her sentence.

"Yes….the…" she narrowed her eyes at the prince standing in front of her.

In reality, she hasn't visited any part of the east and thus she didn't know if there was actually any clock tower or not. Even if there was, she didn't know anything about it at all. She was being played by the second prince.

If she said yes she could be wrong. And saying no will contradict her previous sentence.

"Yes?" Zivan raised his eyebrows.

"No, I didn't go to that part of the city," Silja denied.

"No? But you just said you went," Zivan said with confused expressions.

"Don't be mean dear brother," before Zivan could tease her more Donovan spoke from behind. His voice was deeper than before as he was changing it a bit. Similar enough to increase Silja's suspicion but not let her know his identity. Yet.

His voice attracted everyone's attention and they looked in his direction. Donovan sat in his seat comfortably and his eyes fixed on Silja.

"Princess Silja, if you want to say something you can say without hesitation. No need to hide your opinions," Donovan then told Silja encouraging her to tell but the woman was as stubborn as a rock and didn't open her lips to speak.

Donovan then slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards her.

"You don't have to worry my lady. Since there is nothing hidden to the eyes of the crown," Donovan spoke as he stopped right behind her. His words have an underlying meaning behind them.
