Chapter 11 - King's Order
"My Lady, Master has arrived" Cira informed.
Ivy stood up and went to invite his father home. She hurriedly went down and stood at the door.
"Welcome Home. Father" Ivy greeted when she saw Simon enter from the door.
Simon looked at ivy and his face filled with happiness.
"Oh, Ivy. I missed you dear," Simon hugged Ivy dearly.
"I miss you father" Ivy hugged him back.
"It seems, someone dont miss his wife and son" Allora inquired.
"Hoo no dear. I thought about you every second. When did I get time to miss you?" Simon said while giving a hug to Allora.
Ivy is used to their parents' display of affection. Ivy heard that her father used to be introverted and didnt like to speak with others. But when mother entered into his life he changed entirely.
Ivy's mother played an important role in Simon's life and brought joy in his life and to this house.
After Simon freshens up, the trio meet in the dining hall for breakfast. Ronald didn't join them as he didnt come from his training grounds.
Paul served breakfast to them and they had their breakfast in harmony. After breakfast Simon asked Ivy to come to his study room.
This is the first time Ivy entered his study room after she came to this place. She is excited to know about the business run by their family.
Ivy managed her family business in the modern world. She wants to know whether she can take over this family business or not. If not, she needs to look for other alternatives to start her career in this world.
She has a plan to treat the animals and if her family supports she wants to open spa centers, beauty parlours, or any new industry which is not present in this world.
Ivy knocked on the wooden door of Simon's study before entering. The study room is huge and there is a wooden table placed in the middle. Behind the table there are few shelves which contain books.
Simon is seated on the main chair and in front of him there are two chairs placed for others to sit. The other side of the room has some sofas arranged.
"Ivy, come and sit dear" Simon gently called her.
Shortly Allora and Ronald also joined her in study. Ivy brows creased with confusion. She thought today his father is going to tell her about business.
"Dear, why is this meeting? Anything happened?" Allora inquired.
"Yes, Lora." Simon said seriously and looked at ivy.
"Ivy, do you remember about your age ceremony?" Simon inquired.
'What age ceremony? Hoo yes, the ceremony is held to introduce girls to high society and from then they started looking for matches. But, why is it now? Didn't my age ceremony complete? I guess it is done at 18 years old.'
'Wait. What is my age as AIVYN?' Ivy thought to herself and realization drew on her.
'Oh my, This body is still 17 year old. Now I understand the shocked expression on others whenever I solve something and suggest something. They all thought i am still an immature kid but in reality i am a crazy 25 year old. Does that mean ronald is 19 he is two years older than me'
"Ivy" Simon's voice brings her back from the thoughts.
"Huh, yes father. I remember now" Ivy managed to say those words.
"We already decided to do that here right simon?" Allora inquired.
Simon seems to be struggling to say something. He finally let out a sigh before saying "Yes, but now the plan is changed. We are going to Capital city"
"What?"
"Why father?" Ronald inquired.
"It's the king's order" Simon stated.
Everyone looked at Simon with confusion. Why would the king order this?
"Ohh, Okay father. We will go" Ivy was the one who broke the tension in the room.
The trio got shocked and looked at ivy with a confused gaze. Ivy sensed their difference and looked at them nervously.
'Did I make any mistake again?' Ivy's face palmed her face in mind.
Ivy let out a nervous chuckle before adding "I mean, what else we can do? It is the King's order right? Now my health is also improved and it will be convenient for father and we can see him daily"
Ivy sincerely wants to be with all of them daily. She missed family time previously but now after getting a chance to live again with family, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity. It will reduce her father's troubles and he don't need to travel frequently.
Ivy knows that he didn't mind travelling and his stress but she worried about his health too. It is bothersome to all of them to live in different places.
Simon smiled after hearing her words and he felt happy for her concerns.
"Ivy, I don't have a problem with travelling and in fact your father is very strong." Simon said with a chuckle.
"I know that father. You are indeed strong but I want to see you daily" Ivy said with her sweet and gentle voice, causing Simon's heart to boom with happiness.
"Sure, Sure. As my daughter wishes. We will move to the capital the day after tomorrow. Go and prepare for the journey. Ronald inform Paul about our journey" Simon stated.
"Okay father." Ronald said and left to inform others.
"Okay father.. Take some rest I will see you at lunch" Ivy said and left the room leaving couples alone.
