Dragon Loves Me

Simon approached Aivyn and placed his hand in front of her "May I have your first dance Aivyn?"

Aivyn smiled and placed her hand in his hand "Sure Father"

Simon took her to the middle of the room and placed his hand over her waist, Ivy placed her hand on his shoulder and another holding his other hand. Soon the music started.

The duo swayed and danced to the music, Ivy didn't show a bit of uneasiness which made Simon astonished "Ivy, don't you feel nervous?"

"For what dad? You are with me, what is there to be nervous about?" Ivy smiled sweetly before twirling and faced Simon.

"Indeed, what is there to be afraid of? Your father is here to protect you" Simon smiled gently.

"Father, I guess it is the Royal Lady doing" Ivy gave a hint to Simon.

Simon's eyes became stiff but he soon composed and said "Are you sure?"

"My instinct, maybe she hated me" Ivy came close to him and both started swaying.

"Why?" Simon asked himself. 'Is it the reason behind His Majesty's gift?'

"We have to be careful dad. Our opponent is not someone simple if it is her" Ivy reminded.

"Sure." with that the dance came to an end. Both of them stood each other and bowed.

A thunderous clap echoed in the room, Ivy smiled at everyone and went towards the stage where her brother was eagerly waiting for her.

"You are so graceful Ivy." Ronald praised.

"It's all because of our father," Ivy smiled and looked at Simon. Simon patted her head lovingly.

"Then do you want to have a dance with your dashing brother? I will make you look effortlessly beautiful with my dance" Ronald eyes twinkled.

Ivy chuckled and placed her hand "Sure"

"My dear beautiful wife. May I have a dance with you?" Simon winked at Allora.

Allora flustered but gave her hand to him. Along with them Bratton, Katherine, Cayden, Alyssa also joined. Few of the nobles also started dancing along with them.

Ronald took her in his hands and touched her very gently as he is treating her like a glass object which is very fragile and with a bit of pressure she will shatter.

Ivy smiled helplessly but her heart filled with warmth. While the dancing is going on Gavon enters the room after making sure that soldiers are guarded enough to protect the king if any ambush happens suddenly.

As a shield of the King he is in charge of his protection. He came with the king but he didn't enter the mansion to make sure the security was tight. It is really impossible to ambush them but he has a duty to compel.

By the time he enters the room Ivy is dancing gracefully and happily with her brother. Along with Gavon, Ethan and Lyo also present in the hall. Gavon looked at her briefly before moving towards the King.

He greeted before replying to him that everything was alright and stood behind him.

"Gavon, why don't you go and have a dance?" Gabriel inquired while sipping the juice.

"I am fine. Your Majesty" Gavon remain firm without any emotions in his eyes,

"Tsk. What is the use of being a young Gavon? You should mingle with people and find someone suitable for you" Gabriel insisted.

"I don't want anyone, Your Majesty. I am good. Thank you for your concern" Gavon replied and his eyes were bored with the chat. Gabriel didn't mind his straightforward answers and rejection towards him as he is used to his stubbornness.

"It seems I need to look for a beautiful girl for you as a responsible King," Gabriel smiled.

Gavon didn't comment anything and remained rotted to his spot and his eyes were on alert by observing the surroundings. But to others he seems to be a statue without any emotions in his eyes.

The dance came to an end, Ivy went to have a drink. Aaron tried to approach her to ask for a dance at the same time Andrea is waiting for Cayden with patience. She is hoping that Cayden will ask for a dance, as a princess she cant go and ask him for a dance and nobles don't dare to approach her. Even if they approach she wont accept their request as she don't want to belittle herself by dancing with nobles.

But her face turned dark when she saw Cayden walking towards Aivyn. Aivyn is drinking fruit juice and talking with Alyssa.

"Umm.. This is good" Ivy complimented and savoured the juice. Due to her happy mood everything turns to be sweet and alluring.

"Ivy.." Cayden approached her and called her out.

Before he asked prince came and cut off his words "Ms Aivyn, You are looking beautiful"

Ivy turned to Prince and greeted with a curtsy, Alyssa also followed. Cayden gave a bow.

"Your Highness"

Aaron didn't pay attention to the two and his gaze fixed on Aivyn "No need of formalities Aivyn. This is your birthday."

"Congratulations" Aaron raised his glass.

Ivy also raised her glass and said "Thank you, Your Highness"

Before the prince spoke Ivy looked at him apologetically and informed "Apologize your highness. I am feeling unwell. If you excuse me I will rest for sometime. I hope your highness won't mind"

Aaron's smile did not change but his eyes turned cold for a second before replying "Of course, Please take care."

"Thank You, Your Highness." Ivy turned towards Alyssa and said "Ms Alyssa, Please help me to the resting room". Alyssa nodded her head and left the area with her.

'Tsk. Trying to escape from me? Too bad, tonight I don't have any intentions to leave you' Aaron smirked and left the place without bothering about Cayden.

When they were away from the prince, Alyssa did not control her excitement and asked 'Wow, Ivy. You look cool there. Don't you feel scared of the Prince?"

Ivy chuckled and said "What's there to be scared of? He won't eat me right? And I don't have any good impression on him"

"Me too. I heard that he is a womanizer. Just being in the space with him makes me disgusted" Alyssa's face contours.

"Aren't you afraid now? Bad mouthing Prince? " Ivy inquired.

Alyssa shrugged her shoulders and said "He won't eat me right?"

Both of them looked at each other and laughed. They both reached the resting room, there is a bed prepared for someone to rest. Ivy plopped on it and closed her eyes.
