Dragon Loves Me

"Did you have your rest master?" Ethan asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Gavon, who is sitting on an armchair in the room with wine in his hand, looked at ethan and said "Of course. Unlike someone who will curse their master even he do good for them"

Ethan rolled his eyes and sit in front of him before replying "If others knows that you will speak like this, they will faint"

"I don't care about their acting,'' Gavon said while sniffing the wine.

"Why did you do that when you wont drink?" Ethan probed.

Gavon smiled and swirled the contents in the glass before replied "Because I like this scent."

Ethan never saw Gavon drinking wine. He used to hold it and sniff the scent on every occasion and when someone urged to drink it, he didn't bother to entertain them. Knowing his cold side no one dared to ask him to drink.

"Why is that? If you like smell then why don't you drink? Is it because you have low alcohol tolerance?" Ethan asked, unaware of his comment on his master.

Gavon chuckled and Ethan felt shiver run down his spine "You are insulting your master Ethan. Aren't you aware of that?"

Ethan gulped and diverted the topic "Lyo is also weird, he prefers milk than wine. I don't understand both of you"

Sudden knocks on the door cause the duo to look at the entrance. Lyo came inside and greeted both of them.

"Master, everything is ready for departure. We are waiting for your orders" Lyo informed.

Gavon nodded his head, before he replied Ethan beat him "Departure? Are we going somewhere?"

Lyo looked at Ethan momentarily and replied "Yes, Capital city"

"What? Aren't we resting?" Ethan inquired with confusion.

"You slept for the whole day. Still need to rest? Are you a log?" Gavon asked with a frown.

"But.."

Before Ethan spoke Gavon ordered "Get ready. We are leaving early morning"

After saying that Gavon and Lyo left the room leaving Ethan behind.

Meanwhile in the Kreed Mansion, Bratton is pacing forth and back at the entrance. Bratton is in his early forties and has chestnut hair like Cayden with honey eyes.

"Dear, please stop that. I am feeling dizzy just by seeing you" Katherine remarked.

Katherine is sitting on the sofa and looking at her husband from long time who is anxious for no reason. Katherine has hazel eyes with brown hair. She has an oval face with refined looks.

"How can I? Cay went to meet His Majesty and didn't return yet." Bratton said while rubbing his hands anxiously.

"Bratton, it is not his first time meeting His Majesty. What are you worried about?" Katherine inquired.

"Today Simon's family arrived at the capital right," Bratton started.

"Yes, I need to go and visit them. You should be there, so plan accordingly" Katherine suggested.

"Sure. But the issue is His Majesty is planning again to test our loyalty. You know how he likes these kinds of games." Bratton sighed.

"We all know about His Majesty. Then what are you worrying about? Did he ever succeed in driving us apart? If he did that he would be in danger and this kingdom as well" Katherine commented.

"That's correct but in this world there is one thing which is very powerful and it will make humans do anything for it" Bratton stated.

Katherine brows creased with confusion and asked "What is it?"

"Love" Bratton deadpanned.

"Love?"

"Yes Love, It can do wonders. It will be the foundation for great things, and at the same time it will bring destruction." Bratton said seriously.

Before Katherine replied, someone interrupted them "Mom, Dad. Are you waiting for someone?"

Both of them looked at the source of voice and Bratton sighed with relief.

"Cay, When did you arrive? How was the meeting with His Majesty?" Bratton was the first one to approach Cayden.

"Just now dad. What else will be there? Normal talk about the mission." Cay said as a matter of fact before walking to his mother and sat beside her. He placed his head on his mother's lap and closed his eyes in content..

"My baby has become thin. Did you eat well? Why are you like this?" Katherine fretted while caressing his hair gently.

"Mom, I am not a small kid," Cay said while enjoying the massage.

Katherine slightly slapped his head before saying "You are a kid to me"

"Cay, Did His Majesty ask anything or say anything to you?" Bratton asked anxiously before sitting on the sofa opposite Cayden.

"Dad, What is happening? Why did his majesty say anything to you?" Cayden opened his eyes and inquired seriously.

Bratton contemplating whether to reveal or not. He doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble and if his majesty didn't say anything then it is better to not say anything about today's meeting.

"Nothing. We are going to meet Dalton's. Are you coming?" Bratton diverted the topic.

After hearing Daltons name a smile bloomed on his face and said "Of course"

'I want to see Ivy again. I don't miss any opportunity,' Cayden thought to himself.

"Great. Inform your sister as well. Where is she?" Bratton probed.

"Dad, I just came home. How would I know?" Cayden rolled his eyes.

Bratton looked at Katherine for an answer. Katherine sighed and replied "You know she is always buried herself in that painting room"

"When did she stop? She is going to burn herself" Bratton sighed.

"Dad, let her do what she wants" Cayden supported his sister.

In the paint room, a slender girl is sitting on the stool which is facing the window, in front of her there is a canvas board attached to the stand. She is holding the oval wooden palette with her left hand and brush with right hand while drawing something on the board.

She is deeply immersed in her work, her hazel eyes scrunched when she is making any fine curves and when she achieved the required shape her eyes twinkled with excitement.

A sudden knock disturbed the peaceful environment and she turned around. Her hair fluttered with the wind and her hazel eyes inquired the person for interruption.

"Miss, Master and Madam are waiting for you to have dinner. Please come" the maid named Eva informed politely.

"Eva, two minutes I am coming" Alyssa said and turned around to complete her painting.

"Miss, Young Master also arrived." Eva said meekly.

Alyssa brush paused and she looked at Eva for confirmation.. When Eva nodded her head she placed all her things aside and removed the apron before rushing out.
