Dragon Loves Me

Ronald lifted his head after hearing Ivy's voice. Ronald sat on the floor in front of his bed, his eyes were red and swollen.

"Ivy." Ronald's voice shivered.

"Brother," Ivy called him again after seeing his tear stained face.

She went near him slowly and sat in front of him. Ronald didn't dare to look into her eyes and fixed his gaze on the floor.

"Brother, Why are you here? What happened?" Ivy tried to touch his hand which Ronald took back.

"Ivy.. Why are you here?" Ronald's voice shook.

Ivy took his hand forcefully and patted it before replying "Brother, tell me why are you here and why is your room dark? Why didn't you come for breakfast?"

Ronald's head shrank and he clenched his hand tightly "That's nothing. I just want to be lonely."

"Okay. If you want to be alone then I don't have a problem but there is a problem if you are feeling lonely. I will accompany you" Ivy sat silently there after saying that.

"Ivy" Ronald wanted to say something but no words came out of his mouth.

Both of them sat there silently and no one spoke to each other. They just sat there and the silence accompanied them.

"I.. I am sorry" Ronald was the one who broke the silence and his voice came as a whisper.

"Huh?"

Ronald tried to swallow the lump formed in his throat and said "I am sorry Ivy, I am not able to save you. I am not worthy"

Ivy sighed and moved a bit to sit beside him, she placed his head on her shoulder and her hand wrapped around him. She patted slowly to reassure him that it is not his fault.

Ronald's body stiffened when Ivy placed his head on her shoulder but her gentle pat gave warmth to his heart. Tears started welled up but he tried hard to not cry.

"It's okay Ronald. It's okay to cry. Just let it out" Ivy encouraged him.

Sometimes It's better to let all the hard feelings out by crying. It is okay to cry when you are having a hard time, crying helps one to relieve their stress and make their mind fresh and clean.

Ronald's last straw of willpower to not cry broke and tears started flowing like a broken dam. Only sobs are heard in the silent room, Ivy didn't stop patting him till he calmed down.

Ronald is still a 19 year old and to his age accepting all the changes, the new responsibilities, duties are very hard. It is an age where people want to be free and enjoy their life. It is the age they want to dream and do something great in their life.

If something unexpected happens their minds are not strong enough to bear them and they blame them for every single thing that happened to them which leads to depression and self loath.

Ivy(Maia) faced this situation when she took over her family business, she was only 18 years when she lost her family and there was no one beside her to help and guide. Her relatives only wanted her wealth, no one cared for her. She put a strong face in front of everyone when no one was there she cried her heart out.

But Ronald is lucky to have a wonderful family who will care for him, even if she is not with him. Eventually his parents' love will make him stronger.

Ronald stops crying and wetted Ivy's dress. Ronald sat straight and wiped his nose by the back of his hand.

"I am sorry for spoiling your dress Ivy," Ronald said with embarrassment.

Ivy chuckled, seeing Ronald's cute expression and said "No Problem"

Ivy's voice became serious when she started speaking "Ronald, listen to me. It is not your fault, you didn't do that and that accident did not happen because of you. You still tried your best to save me and the dragon. You listened my words and tried to control the dragon"

"We both did what we could do but still it happened. Along with me you also fell down but luckily we both survived. If something happened to you because you listened to me then I am the one to blame"

"No, I am the one who allowed you to try. So it's not your fault" Ronald declined and he doesn't want anyone to blame Ivy.

Ivy smiled and said "See, then it is not your fault also. You allowed me to do that because you have some trust on me"

"Ronald, never ever blame you for the things that happened. Sometimes few incidents will happen even though we took all measures. I know you are going to take big responsibility in the future. There you need to make very harsh decisions and there is no guarantee that every decision you take will be correct."

Ivy took a pause and added "Sometimes mishaps will happen, that doesn't mean it happened because of you or your decisions. Instead of blaming yourself, face it. Face it with courage and fight it with your might."

In her modern life, she learned that as an owner of a company she needed to make some decisions. But every decision she took is not correct, she faces blames, threats and she learned from it. She doesn't want her brother to go in that harsh way, she is there to help him.

Ronald's eyes widened with shock and his heart started beating again with new energy and power. His eyes again burned with passion and this time his way of thinking changed a bit.

"Ivy, Thank you," Ronald said sincerely.

Ivy smiled and ruffled his hair teasingly "Now My Handsome brother is looking Ugly. Go and freshen up"

Ronald rubbed his nape awkwardly and said "Give me few minutes I will be out"

Ivy nodded "Sure, Come to the dining table directly."

Ronald nodded and stood up, he helped Ivy to her feet. Ivy left him to get ready and went outside to inform Paul to prepare some food for Ronald.

Paul felt very happy and nodded his head before leaving for the kitchen.

Meanwhile in the palace, all the ministers are present for the court session. Simon and Bratton also arrived for the court meeting.

"His Majesty, the only sun of the Krayton Kingdom has arrived" the guard announced the arrival of the king.

Everyone stood up to greet the king, they bowed slightly to show their respect. Gabriel went towards his throne and sat on it.

"Rise"

Everyone lifted their heads and took their seats before the court meeting started officially. But before their meeting started, the guard announced again.

"General of Shadow Army Gavon Lee, has arrived"
