Chapter 58 - Age Ceremony V
Gavon, who is quietly observing the interaction between the Prince and Aivyn, felt quite amused. He didn't hear their conversation but the way she acted and after that she left made him realize that she rejected the Prince offer.
'Interesting' Gavon amused.
Princess Andrea stood up and went to meet Cayden. Cayden felt frustrated when Prince Aaron spoiled his dance with Aivyn. He felt glad that Ivy didn't dance with Prince.
"Brother Cayden" Andrea called him out sweetly.
Cayden whose back is facing Andrea turned around and looked at Andrea and greeted "Your Highness"
"Brother Cayden, no need for formalities between us," Andrea smiled.
"Your Highness. Please don't call me like that. I told you many times, it will not only ruin your reputation, mine as well." Cayden stated sternly.
Cayden is keeping an deaf ear to her words but he can't tolerate anymore and wants to draw a line. He doesn't want to give any false hopes or rumours to anyone which will hurt Ivy after he confesses his feelings.
Andrea gritted her teeth and her hold on glass tightened but she composed herself and smiled "Did I make any mistake bro.. Cayden?"
Cayden's face looked stern and his voice became cold "Your Highness. You are the princess of this Kingdom. Please remember that."
"Now if you excuse me. I will take my leave." Cayden bowed and left without turning around.
Andrea's eyes become red with anger and her hate towards Ivy increases. Aaron reached towards her sister.
"What happened Andrea? Did he reject you again?" Aaron inquired while sipping his wine.
Andrea looked at him and snapped "That's none of your business"
"Tsk. I want to help you but you are throwing away your well wisher." Aaron shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Andrea chided.
Aaron sipped his wine and said "Not here. Come with me"
After saying that he left the crowd, Andrea also followed him. Ethan who is spying on them for quite some time got alerted and looked at Gavon.
Gavon signalled him to follow them. Ethan noticed the signal and moved away from the crowd to follow them.
Cayden met Ronald who went to check a few things for the night party.
"Hey, Ronald. Need any help?" Cayden inquired.
"No, Big Brother. Everything is fine" Ronald smiled.
Cayden nodded "Let me know if my help is required."
"Sure Brother"
"Going to check on Ivy. Want to come?" Cayden asked.
"Sure. Is she resting?" Ronald joined him and they both started walking towards the resting room.
"Yes, She might be tired," Cayden said.
"Wait, then I will go and get some snacks for her" Ronald halted.
Cayden grabbed his elbow and said "No Need. I already sent a maid with snack for both the ladies"
Ronald smiled, "Is Alyssa with her?"
"Yes"
Meanwhile the Royal Siblings came out of the ball room and went to a secluded place to discuss.
After making sure no one is near by Aaron looked at Andrea and said "First, use your power to get what you want"
Andrea raised her head and looked at him with confusion "What do you mean?"
Aaron shook his head for his sister brain "Our mother will be here in few days, ask her to let you marry the man you desire"
Andrea sighed "You know Mother won't agree"
"Did you try at least once?" Aaron raised his brow.
Andrea shook her head in denial, "See then how did you expect mother to know about your feelings? Mother will surely agree to your request as it will be beneficial for us."
"You think so?" Andrea's eyes lit with hope.
"Of course, Sister." Aaron smiled 'She calculates profit over anything'.
"Then I will definitely ask our mother," Andrea chimed happily.
"Great. Now you want to remove the obstacle from your way then you have to implement today's task perfectly" Aaron added.
Andrea's head became clear and nodded her head in approval.
"So don't stand there with such a face, go and greet her. Made everyone realize your greatness" Aaron encouraged.
Andrea smiled "Sure Brother"
Few minutes before Ethan, who was following them, saw the siblings moving to a secluded place. He wanted to follow them but someone came and greeted Ethan.
He wants to escape from there but soon is surrounded by a few more nobles whom he can't ignore. He got stuck there and listened to the nobles.
Ivy came along with Alyssa, Ronald and Cayden after taking some rest and had some snacks. Ronald leaked out the information that Ivy cooks well.
"Ivy, you should make some delicious food for us as well," Cayden asked.
"Yes Ivy. Please make some sweet dishes for me and also teach me. I want to learn a few dishes" Alyssa also got excited.
Ivy chuckled and said "Sure."
'After tonight she will have the time to teach you my dear sister but I won't let you disturb her more. I want to taste all the delicious food made by Ivy' Cayden gloated inside.
"Miss Aivyn" a sweet voice disturbed the conversation.
Everyone turned around and looked at Princess Andrea who was smiling gently at them. Ivy inwardly raised her eyebrow seeing the princess smile.
"Your Highness" they greeted.
"I don't get a chance to congratulate you. Congratulations Aivyn" Princess Andrea raised her glass.
Aivyn took the fruit juice nearby and raised before replying "Thank you, Your Highness"
'What's with this act Princess?' Ivy thought and sipped silently.
"Everyone. His Majesty has something to inform you all" Calvin's voice made everyone silent.
Aivyn along with others went towards her family. Simon and Allora become tense when they suddenly hear the announcement.
'What is his majesty up to?' Simon sighed.
