Silja was very surprised to hear that. She has heard that Princess Genie was very pampered and brought up in a very strict environment like a proper prince.

Wood carving was a bit of a rough skill that royals don't prefer their women to learn.

So the fact that Genie could do it surprised Silja.

"Even this box is very pretty," Silja exclaimed.

"Don," Silja turned around towards Donovan and held her palm in front of him so he could help her wear it.

Donovan obliged happily and put it on Silja's bun.

"That looks beautiful on you," he commented after he was done. He then patted Genie's head.

"Thank you little sister in law. I like it a lot. Thanks for working hard for me," Silja bent a little at Genie's level.

"As long as you like it everything is worth it," Genie clapped her hand. Silja looked at her cheerful appearance which made her happy too.

Genie was the soul of the house and with her around no one could be in a bad mood.

That reminded Silja that she should have spent more time with this little sister in law of hers.

"I and your father in law have also prepared something for you," Abrielle announced.

"But I have already received so much," Silja hesitated.

"You shouldn't count the gift you receive princess," a voice rang from behind. Silja turned her head to find the source of the voice. A woman clothed in a beautiful silver gown walked from behind the crowd.

Her face was very youthful and her steps graceful. Her blond hair was falling loosely behind her shoulder.

Behind her stood a young man about the same age as her. He was also dressed in fine clothes and holding a big plate covered in red cloth.

Silja felt the smile on Abrielle's face becoming a little stiff after looking at them.

But the queen recovered very soon with a proper smile on her lips.

"Silja, meet Liliana Harthem, duchess of Grimefront," Abrielle looked at Silja and introduced the woman.

"It's nice to meet you, duchess Liliana," Silja who was sitting on the chair beside Donovan nodded her head at the woman.

"It's my pleasure to meet such a beautiful young princess from human land," the lady waved her hand and walked forward. Silja could see the cleaver glint in the woman's emerald eyes.

Silja has started to learn about small details of the North-kingdom. And thus Silja knew that Grimfront was one of the biggest duchies of the North.

And thus it means that a woman standing in front of can not be a simple woman as the Duchess of such a continent.

"You are even more beautiful than I have heard," the woman's long fingers ran on Silja's cheek briefly.

She stood in very close proximity to Silja and bent down at Silja's level.

Her eyes roamed on Silja's face without any restraint.

Only after very close observation did the woman step back.

Silja felt something off in her gaze. After the brief introduction the woman stepped back so the Royal family could present their gifts to Silja. Zachary gave Silja five villages that were directly under them.

While Abrielle named Silja master of five business units that she owned in three different cities.

This was a very generous gift and the whole hall started to bustle with excitement and envy. It was exactly the same as they thought.

By marrying the eldest prince Silja has won fortune for herself. All the young girls present became envious of the human girl seeing this. Even Zivan and Samuel have also gifted a lavish villa and a fort to Silja.

After all the royal family members presented their gifts, the lady Liliana standing on the side walked forward to present her gift.

"Joarder, son, come, present the gift to the princess," Lady Liliana then looked back at the man standing behind.

"Sure mother," the young man walked forward and handed the plate to the woman.

Silja's attention was again on the woman.

Son? Silja lifted her eyebrows and looked at her husband who was sitting beside her with cool expressions on his face.

Donovan's back was leaning against the chair very lazily.

His eyes were on the lady Liliana, staring at the woman without blinking.

Seeing that Silja's fist clenched on her dress.

Sensing Silja's burning gaze on his, Donovan moved his eyes toward her and smiled.

His hand slowly moved towards her, he held hers and held it tightly.

They were sitting in the public so Silja didn't resist but her facial expressions said it all.

Lady Liliana who turned around and noticed this small exchange smiled slightly.

She then walked ahead and presented the gift.

"Pardon me Prince Donovan and princess Silja for not being able to attend your wedding. But today I'm here to make it up for you," the woman spoke sweetly. Her eyes danced between the couple. Silja looked at her and realised that the woman was actually very beautiful. Her sharp green eyes were able to make any man fall for her.

While the way she carried herself was extremely elegant.

That made Silja even more suspicious of the woman. She was clearly so young yet such a big man was addressing her as a mother.

That made Silja interested to know more about her. Silja smiled formally and took the gift from the woman.

Donovan let Silja's hand go and she slowly removed the red cloth from the big tray.

As soon as she did her eyes widened seeing what lies beneath.

Under the cloth was a small white dagger made from bones.

The handle as well as the blade everything was carved from the bones. On the handle was decorated with small gems,

Donovan's eyes narrowed at the sight.

He looked up at lady Liliana who was smiling brightly.

He then took the dagger and sniffed it.

It was made from the bones of dwarfs.. Donovan smiled sarcastically at the woman as realisation struck him.
