Chapter 29 - Offer
Andrea came looking for Cayden after her brother consoled. She brought some water to Cayden to please him and show the others that she is taking care of him but when she was near the tent she saw Cayden giving cloth to Ivy and their smiles.
She did not control her rage and pressed the glass hard causing it to break in pieces. The pieces pierce her skin and blood started oozing out non stop causing the ground to be covered with blood.
"Princess" Cayden went towards her in a hurry.
"Princess, What happened?" Cayden inquired while wrapping a cloth around her hand.
"I apply pressure on the glass. It's my mistake" Andrea said with a smile and looked at Ivy with a smirk.
Ivy who is silently watching from the side sensed her stare and looked at her with a confused look.
Cayden didn't believe her words but still nodded his head and said "Please take care. Your Highness. Don't hurt yourself here, we will be account responsible for this infront of His Majesty"
Andrea's face fell when she heard his last sentence. She took her hand from his grasp and left the place angrily.
Prince Aaron reached Aivyn who was standing near the tent. He cleared his throat to get her attention, then only ivy noticed his presence and bowed slightly in curtsy.
"So Aivyn Dalton. Nice name" Aaron complimented.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Ivy said with a smile.
"You are the sick child of Dalton's but saved a person. How?" Aaron inquired.
Ivy sensed his wariness and became alert. She acted on impulse to save the person as a medical person but she didn't think about her situation.
Ivy didn't show any emotion on her face except a smile "I learned a few things when I was staying in Magna. Your Highness. There is nothing much to do for me except lay on bed so I utilise the time to learn a thing or two"
Ivy's explanation made sense to Aaron but there is something different in Aivyn which he didn't pinpoint. She didn't fluster speaking with the prince, she carried herself with a strong sense, she didn't get riled up even though the situation was in utter chaos.
'Does my investigation about her wrong?' Aaron thought to himself.
When he got to know that Dalton's family is coming to the Capital he started his investigation about them to prepare for the situation. As he is going to be the next king he needs to maintain a good relationship with both the families.
He may seem arrogant on the outside but calculated inside unlike his sister whose priority is to get praises from others.
Aaron nodded his head in understanding and said "It's nice meeting you Ms Dalton."
"Pleasure is mine Your Highness" Ivy said with curtsy.
With that Aaron leaves the place. Ivy sighed in relief and she saw her brother coming with a doctor.
Andrea went near her dragon and started cursing ivy in her mind.
'That bitch. How dare she flirt with my Cayden? Why is she showing off her skills? Is it to get praise from others? That little.. I want to teach her a lesson. Yes a lesson' Andrea fumed.
When she saw Ronald coming with a doctor she smirked and thought of an evil plan.
'Aivyn, let's see how you will survive' Andrea let out an evil laugh.
Andrea went towards the dragon and fed it something before ensuring no one noticed her. But unknown to her Glen who came out to get some water saw that but didn't ponder on her actions and left the place.
Inside the tent, the doctor examined the injured soldier and inquired "Who treated him?"
Everyone's faces turned rigid when they heard his cold voice. They instinctively turn towards Aivyn who is not affected at all.
"Is there anything wrong, doctor?" Ronald asked nervously. He has faith in his sister but she didn't treat anyone before. If something goes wrong her name will be trashed.
"No, They did a good job in treating even the tools used are not proper but still their skills are amazing" Doctor Adam praised and his face was full of surprise.
Everyone in the tent sighed with relief and looked at Ivy with admiration. Ivy was flustered by the sudden gaze but held her ground and smiled at everyone.
'Come to think about my smile, I got addicted to mom's smile. Now I understand how she smiles every time and anywhere in any situation.' Ivy thought to herself.
"Doctor Adam, She is the one who saved him" Cayden pointed Ivy.
Doctor Adam was astonished by the truth "Are you sure? If yes, young lady, you are truly blessed. Did you study medicine? Who is your master?"
Ivy did not operate on humans for long time but her skills are intact, she doesn't need to study again but she can keep this option as well to earn money.
"Thank you doctor. I learned medicine through books" Ivy stated.
Doctor Adam was again startled by her response. She just studied thorough books and performed the operation like an expert. If she gets a master then she will shine over this Kingdom.
"Young lady, May I know your name and from which family you belong too?" Doctor Adam inquired.
Ivy smiled and said "My name is Aivyn Dalton."
Adam's eyes widened with shock, he didn't expect that the rumoured sick girl is a doctor now. Fate is really something.
Doctor Adam looked at Ivy with a hint of pride and respect "Young girl, You are amazing. If you are interested, I will introduce you to my master Shah Marphy"
Everyone in the room is astonished by Adam's words, Master Shah is a well known Doctor in the whole kingdom and he saves so many lives. Even the king will not disobey his words and he is like God of medicine to everyone.
Ivy was touched by his kindness and said with a smile "Thank you so much, Doctor Adam. I will surely consider it and inform my opinion. Please give me sometime"
Ivy observed the shocked expressions on everyone's face and considered his favour. At the same time she doesn't want to make them angry and doesn't want to make decisions hastily so asked for time.
Adam thought for some time and understood her thoughts. He said suddenly and she is not prepared for this, maybe as she requested she needs some time to think over it. If she accepts then surely it will be helpful to this kingdom.
"I understand Young lady. Take your time" Adam said with a smile.
"Thanks for understanding. Please call me Aivyn" Ivy said, Adam is in his fifties and his hair turned white, there is no need for formalities with elders like Adam.
"Sure Aivyn" Adam was pleased by her behaviour.
"Doctor, if you have some time, I would like to speak with you for a few minutes," Ivy asked.
Adam nodded his head and checked the patient before leaving the tent.. Cayden, Ronald also followed the duo.
