Chapter 111 - Newly Weds
When they reach near the Ice Dragon, it becomes enormous which makes them look at it by stretching their neck upwards.
They stood a few feet away from the Dragon and Ivy looked up, at the same time Dragon also looked at the people in front of it and its eyes met Ivy.
Time seems to have stopped for Ivy and Ice Dragon, they both looked at each other like long lost friends. There seems to be a bond between them and there is a longing in their eyes.
Ivy raised her hand subconsciously and the Ice dragon slowly bent down its head, everyone around them remained statue seeing their interaction and became immobile.
The Ice dragon head touched Ivy's hand and she felt a cool and hard sensation on her palm. She held the dragon with both hands and looked at it closely, with close inspection she saw the white colour scales on its face and body, they resembled the fish scales but they gave a feeling that they are made of fine diamonds. The dragon ears made her remember the Ox ears but with a twist in between, the horns resemble the antelope which are sturdy and beautiful, the main attraction is its eyes, the ocean blue eyes which are as calm as the deep sea.
Those deep blue eyes are looking at Ivy innocently making her heart fluffy. Ivy caressed its head softly and gently making the Ice dragon body relax, it started wagging its tail to show its love for her treatment.
"You are magnificent. I like you so much." Ivy's eyes shone with excitement seeing the dragon's response to her and continued "I felt that we had some sort of connection."
"Grrrrr…" Dragon made a sound agreeing to her words.
Ivy was stunned seeing its reaction "Really? You understand my words. You also felt that we had a connection right."
"Grrrr…"Dragon made the sound again and pressed its head again on her palm wanting to get caressed again by her.
Ivy chuckled and started touching its mane softly earning a purr as a response. Gavon came out of his trance after listening to its sound again and went towards her hurriedly to pull her back.
Gavon pulled Ivy into her embrace and looked at the dragon with cold eyes, the ice dragon which lost its warmth raised its head to look at the person and growled at him while bearing its teeth showing its anger towards the person.
Gavon didn't get intimidated by the dragon, instead, he stared at the Dragon coldly and put his hand on the sword to get into action if it showed any kind of danger. Ivy, who was taken into a warm embrace, was stunned for a moment and raised her head to check the person.
"My Lord," Ivy called him out, Gavon bent his head and looked at her worriedly.
"Are you ok?" Gavon asked with worry in his eyes.
Ivy was taken by his action and said "I am fine."
Ivy distanced herself from Gavon and looked at the Ice Dragon who was bearing its teeth angrily towards Gavon.
"Calm Down, He is not a bad person" Ivy's voice made the dragon look at her and its cold demeanour changed instantly and turned into a puppy.
Ivy smiled and patted its head lovingly "Good Boy." Ice dragon started swaying its tail with happiness. Gavon who was looking at their interactions got stupefied.
Ivy looked at Gavon before continuing "My Lord, it is good Dragon. It means no harm."
Gavon doesn't know how to reply to Ivy, he heard about the Ice dragon which is wild in nature and is now turned into an adorable puppy in front of his wife. If he didn't see it with his eyes he won't believe this thing.
"Umm.. Okay" Gavon nodded finally but he was on full alert.
Ivy then looked around only to see the frozen soldiers in their spot, she understood their reaction as she also heard about the dragons in the last few days from her father and she grasped some new things about the dragon.
"What is your name? Do you have any name?" Ivy inquired the dragon to which it just looked at Ivy with a clueless expression.
"Fine, I will give you a name when we meet next time. Now go back to Drayce Mountain." Ivy said while humouring it.
Ice dragon face fell when it was asked to leave her, it dropped its head and looked pitiful. Ivy who is watching its change in mood got surprised by seeing its reluctance to leave her. Ivy also wants to be with the dragon but taking it to the mansion will create a big scene.
"Oh My, Don't worry, I will come and visit you tomorrow. Okay?" Ivy tried to console the dragon, Gavon who was watching the interaction also felt a strange sense of feeling in his heart.
After a few minutes of consoling and cajoling the dragon nodded its head to leave them, before leaving it got patted again for the last time and flew away.
"Such a sweetheart." Ivy was totally mesmerized by the Dragon and forgot about her worries.
Gavon felt happy to see the smile again on Ivy's face and said "Shall we go?"
Ivy looked at Gavon and smiled "Sure, Thank you, My Lord."
Gavon gave her a small nod before escorting her to the carriage, the soldiers also came out of their shock and cleared the path to move forward.
After a few minutes, Ivy and Gavon reached their mansion, John and Hana came first to welcome the newlyweds along with Ethan and Lyo. They already decorated the mansion with flowers, new curtains and other furniture got replaced.
The whole mansion is now looking lively with the people and the joy is clearly visible in the atmosphere.
Ivy stepped down from the carriage with the help of Gavon. The mansion is not big as the Dalton mansion but it has a big garden area in front of it and there is a fountain in the middle of the way towards the mansion.
This mansion is quite big for two people and it is decorated lavishly. Ivy smiled seeing Hana and John at the Mansion doorsteps to welcome them.
"Welcome to the Family. Child, I am very happy for both of you." Hana spoke while grabbing Ivy's hands.
Ivy felt warm inside her heart seeing Hana, she felt like she got herself a grandmother, she never felt this emotion before.
"Thank you, Grandmother." Ivy smiled sweetly causing Hana smile to widen.
"You are such a filial child." Hana welcomed them warmly.
"Grandma, what about me?" Gavon didn't stop himself from asking.
Hana looked at Gavon and snorted "What about you? Did you bring the Dragon Sculpture or not?"
Gavon sighed and looked at his grandfather for help, but John didn't bother to look at him. Gavon shook his head and replied, "Yes, I had it with me."
Gavon showed the Dragon Sculpture which he took from the carriage and handed to Ivy, Hana looked at the couple and said "Child, you both have to enter the house with this sculpture in your hands. So that there will be a child running in this home shortly."
Ivy blushed and smiled seeing the Hana happy expression, Gavon also smiled and they both held the sculpture with their hands while entering the mansion.
"Good. Congratulations to both of you and our blessings will be with you forever." John and Hana blessed them.
"Thank you, Grandma and Grandfather," Ivy and Gavon replied with a smile.
"Where are Ethan and Lyo?" Gavon asked while moving towards the hall. Ivy followed him closely while Hana didn't leave a hand for a minute.
"Oh, don't bring them up. How can they be so useless?" Hana sighed while holding her forehead with disdain.
Gavon looked at John who was having a 'Poor boys' look all over his face but smiling to not anger his wife. Gavon almost imagined the fate of the two boys who got roasted by their grandmother.
"Grandma, Tea is ready. We prepared it for the newlyweds.." Ethan's voice came out from the kitchen and he carried a tray along with him.
