Chapter 79: Fierce Princess

"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 holding an underlying meaning behind them.

Zachary who saw the scene unfolding in front of him was thoroughly surprised. He could see that something was being cooked between his son and the human princess. He was glad that his scheme did work.

Instead of pushing them near each other, he gave them ground to play on their own accord and as he expected they were playing well and exactly how he wanted.

Zachary smiled.

"My lady lying in front of the crown can cost you a heavy price," he was standing just behind her and his words slowly fell in her ears. His hot breath fanned her neck and a shiver ran down Silja's body.

Was he threatening her?

And what does he mean by crown knows everything?

Silja gulped softly as she could see her low-lying plan falling apart.

The sudden interference of Donovan also shocked Many other people who were sitting in. Especially all the ladies. The way he stood behind Silja and whispered something in her ears was so ambiguous that some of them started to glare dagger at Silja.

"Looks like lady Silja is a bit shy or Maybe she has short term memory loss so let me help you my lady to remind you what you did in the past few days," Zivan added fuel to fire and Silja pursed her lips. Everyone in the audience started to laugh and could feel their mocking gaze on her.

Few ladies who had mixed lies in their sentences also felt guilty.

Why in the world are they making her a target? Silja on the other hand screamed in her head.

"No need," before he could speak she stopped him.

Are they trying to embarrass me? Silja gritted her teeth.

"I know what I did in past days and I'm not shy," she won't let them mock her and corner her. If they wanted to hear the truth so desperately then so be it.

What she has to lose anyway.

Seeing that she was ready to speak Donovan smiled at her and went back to her seat.

"Pardon me for not telling the truth before your highness. My intention wasn't one to disrespect you but exactly the opposite," Silja started.

King Zachary looked at the girl and he has a hunch that from then things might not go the way he wanted. But since he couldn't do anything he decided to go with the flow.

"Maybe it's my fault that coming from a different land I don't understand how this kingdom runs and what the rules are. But what I saw during my days here was very disturbing. And by putting it in front of the courtroom bluntly it might be disrespectful towards you so I decided not to open up the topic," Silja said. Her voice was polite and calm

"Don't be afraid of lady Silja and speak what you want to speak," Zachary said.

Silja smiled.

"Well, this is my first time being in the north. A land with which I'm totally unfamiliar with. For us humans the dragons are like mysterious creatures which we always feel wary of. The years of war have instilled this fear in our hearts and I don't blame anyone for that. It was a course of nature that took place along with thousands of years passed by," Silja started hearing her saying about how humans were afraid of dragons. Many ministers and other self-obsessed people started to gloat.

"The same fear has made us cut mostly all relationships with dragons and other creatures. But we shouldn't treat everyone with tinted glass and with the same thought my father- the king of Atlanea, accepted the invitation from the north to establish a new and fear-free relationship. When I left for the north I felt excited to visit the new land. But I feel very bad to say that what I found on my arrival on this land was quite different than I had thought," she continued.

Everyone present was hearing her carefully as she spoke.

Unlike the girl who was just refusing to speak, current Silja was way more daring and confident.

"I had thought that since the north is a country with a history of decades of war it must be poor in the economy but I was proven wrong. The North is just like any other normal country flourishing and prospering," Silja took a pause there. Till now everything was going smoothly.

"But…. Not all aspects are good," she smiled.

"We don't have permission to keep people as slaves in Atlanea. And when I first saw a slave girl I felt like I had seen something so bizarre. Pardon my offence, your highness but making people slaves and treating them worse than animals is something that we Atlaneans don't follow," she said and then her eyes subtly moved towards the girl sitting on the front row.

Gwendolyn glared at her and Silja smirked.

Gwen felt her forehead sweating.

She was afraid that Silja might complain about how she was treating that human girl to the king. She won't be punished for such a small matter and the king will definitely not interfere since all masters have the right to treat their slaves as they want. But this will definitely stain her family reputation and her facade of a gentle lady will surely collapse.

But Gwen didn't know that Silja would never drag her name in such a small matter since her target wasn't alone Gwen but everyone involved in this. Doesn't matter if they are humans, dragons, or any other species.

Hearing what she said everyone's expression changed.

"And that wasn't all. I also found a big difference in the economic status of people living in the north," Silja added.

"Since the north is the land of the dragon all other people living here suffer knowingly or unknowingly. And they were just cast aside like rouges," Silja added.

Hearing what she was saying, the whole room broke into small voices of disagreement.

How could they allow a no-name princess to speak ill about how they live.

"Silence," Zachary raised his hand and soon everyone again became quiet.

Zachary's face palmed in his head. He has forgotten that Silja's personality will definitely attract the attention of his son but she will also stirr more troubles for him and his kingdom. The topic she has chosen was like fire and humans who tried to play with fire mostly burn their hands.

"Let the princess speak her mind. Since this whole competition is about that we should give everyone a chance to give their opinion," Zachary spoke. Hearing what he said everyone quieted down.

Silja smirked. She wanted to see how much patience these warm-blooded creatures can exercise.

"Thank you, your highness," she said politely and continued.

"As I was saying there is so much discrimination between the races living on the same land. And what made my opinion worse was the slave market," Silja looked at everyone as she spoke without any fear on her face.

Not a line on her face moved or showed any sign of hesitation.

"On the third day, I went to visit a slave market and what I saw truly shocked me," the ladies and gentlemen all who were sitting in the hall started to frown.

It was the first time they were hearing a lady admitting to going to the slave market.

Even though it was a hub to get slaves and almost all the nobles have slaves in their homes purchased from the same market, they still dislike the place.

Most Butlers or any other trusted people of the household go to the market to purchase slaves. If not, the men themselves went to market. But if women from this high society set a foot in the market they are frowned upon.

It was a double standard rule because in the market mostly women are sold.

"Huh I must say princess Silja is quite brave to set foot in that ugly place," one of the ministers who was sitting on the left spoke.

"Ugly place?" Silja looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

The man who spoke was sitting at quite a high position and his face had a look of disgust, seemingly for Silja.

"If you think that a slave market is an ugly place then this honourable sire here must agree with what I said then you won't have any slave in his home right?," Silja said with a smile.

"What I meant was it's not respectful for a noblewoman like you to visit such a place," he said scoffed.
