Chapter 9: Mother's Advice

"We haven't seen war in centuries. Small kingdom like Atlanea won't be able to face consequences. Do you think it's worth it?" Doris asked, turning towards Silja.

Silja was at a loss for words. She understood everything very well.

"Benji and your father will never agree to send you but if you volunteer yourself and convince them….." Doris put her point.

"I….I understand mother." Silja replied.

Doris heard her and walked towards where Silja was sitting.

"I know it's hard for you but think about it. We have to marry you someday so why not now. And if the prince of the North chooses you as a wife, you will be the next Queen of the North. We are not losing anything here."

"And furthermore it's just "the bride choosing ceremony" There is a high chance that the prince might not choose you. And if that happens you can come back." Doris tried to convince her.

On the other hand Silja just sat there listening to her mother's words.

She didn't know what she should say.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Doris asked. She put her hand on her shoulder from behind.

"Yes mother." Silja replied like an obedient child.

"Good, I won't take your time then." Doris said and turned around and again went to the window and looked outside.

Silja looked at her back and stood up from her seat.

"Then I would like to take my leave, mother." Silja said and started to move out.

"Silja…." Suddenly her mother spoke.

Hearing her name from her mother Silja's feet automatically Stopped and she turned around.

It was rare when Her mother addressed her with her name.

"Benji has always loved you more than anything. And In return you won't like to give him a pile of ashes to rule. Do you?" Her words fell on Silja's ear and as if something had hit her hard her heart started to ache.

"I won't do anything that harms our kingdom or Brother Benjamin, mother." Silja Replied and hastily took her leave.

She came to her yard and asked her servant to prepare a horse for her.

"Where are you going princess?" Mira, who was busy arranging things to come out when she heard the sound of a horse.

"Just to get some Fresh air. You guys don't have to follow me." Silja said and with just one kick her horse left the yard like a bullet.

"My lady, wait…." Mira ran behind but how could she match the speed of the horse.

Clouds of worry started to darken her face.

On the other hand Silja left the castle and her horse started to move in the direction of the forest.

After passing almost half of the forest she finally stopped near a small water lake.

In actual fact it wasn't a lake but due to the geographical area there was a small area where sea water came out from the ground and formed a place like a lake.

But the amazing thing was that the whole lake was filled with pure water. Instead of sore seawater this water was drinkable and sweet.

The lake was named as golden tears lake. Which was based on the story of a fairy who fell from the sky and ended up on this island. She was lost and because she started to cry her tears were gathered in the pond and because they were tears of fairy the water wasn't as sore as any other ocean water. But when the sun rays fell on the water the surface of the water looked golden. Thus it was named as golden tear lake.

Silja dismounted the horse and then sat on the lake shore. This place was her favorite place. Whenever she felt upset she came here. It gave her the peace she needed.

Silja held her knees near her chest and put her head on it.

She sat there thinking till dusk. After the sunset in the west and night fell on the earth then did she come out of her thoughts.

On the other hand, at the royal Castle the dinner table was set and Benjamin and Doris were already sitting on the table.

"Sija is late? Father will be here soon." Benji was looking around restlessly.

It was a rule that every day has to be present on the table before the king arrives. Mostly his father preferred that everybody eat at least one meal together if possible.

It was almost time for King Evan to come but Silja was nowhere in sight.

Benji was worried but Doris was sitting there unaffected.

Even Kind Evan loved his children, but he was very strict about rules. If any rule was broken, the person who broke it had to be punished no matter who he or she was.

"Go check out Princess Silja." Benji asked one of the servants standing not far away.

"Yes my lord." The servant was about to exit the dining room and go to find Silja just then soft footsteps were heard in the room.

Silja arrived in the dining room with Mira.

"Good evening mother, Benji." She greeted both her mother and brother before taking her usual seat which was near Benjamin.

"Where were you?" Benji asked as soon as she settled on her chair.

"I went to golden tear lake." Silja said.

Benji wanted to ask something else but suddenly heavy footsteps resonated in the room and the king arrived.

King Evan came and sat on the head chair of the table.

"Good evening father." Both the siblings greeted their father.

The king nodded his head and then maids served the dinner. The atmosphere was a little tight from the last few days so the whole family ate without any other words.

After dinner all retire to their respective yards.
