Chapter 63 - Damaged Dress
Meanwhile at the palace, Gavon escorted His Majesty to the palace and the King dismissed him to go and join the party. As Gavon is the suitor Gabriel selected, he advised him to get close to her and marry her.
Normally these kinds of proposals are common in age ceremonies, anyone has a right to ask a hand in marriage to a girl but the girl and her family have complete freedom to reject them. They can make any decisions.
But in Ivy's case it is not some noble man who proposed it is the King Gabriel, even though they have freedom to reject it but they are afraid to fall in His Majesty's bad books. No one dared to do that.
Gavon didn't object to His Majesty's good will and left the palace to attend the night party. When he reached his mansion Ethan and Lyo were also present.
Gavon looked at them and nodded before entering into his study, the duo followed him into the study.
"Gavon, what are we going to do now?" Ethan inquired.
Gavon removed his outer coat and sat on his chair before replying "What else?"
"I thought His Majesty will choose Kreed's Heir Cayden as suitor, he will be the perfect one to deepen the relationship. But it doesn't happen and the information we got becomes true" Ethan added and his eyes glowed with curiosity.
Lyo just listened to them and didn't voice out. He knew how to slaughter a bunch of people but didn't have interest in dealing with these kinds of matters.
Gavon smirked, "He loves to play with them. He won't lose any opportunity to test their loyalty"
Ethan nodded his head agreeing with Gavon. "But, what will happen if she rejects his proposal? Do you think he will harm the prominent family?"
"Who dares to reject the Master? I will teach her a lesson" Lyo fumed.
"Oh my brother. She is going to be this household madam." Ethan added playfully.
"I dont care. No one belittles My Master" Lyo stated sternly.
Ethan shook his head, he didn't bother to argue with the little kid anymore and turned his gaze towards Gavon.
Gavon looked at him and ignored his questions before inquiring "What about those two?"
"I missed them," Ethan said with a dejection.
Gavon didn't comment anything and thought for some time. He stood from his chair and announced "Get ready. We are going to the party."
Ethan and Lyo looked at him with confusion but still obeyed.
Aivyn had a simple lunch before returning to her room. She planned to check out the dresses before the party started and wanted to take some rest.
She asked Fere and Kily to bring her dresses, they went inside her cloak room and took out the dresses but their expressions changed.
Kily frowned and looked at Fere who was also looking at her with confusion. Kily hurriedly went towards Ivy to report the issue.
"Miss." Kily called out Ivy who was leaning on the bed head rest and closed her eyes.
Ivy opened her eyes and looked at Kily who was having a troubled expression.
"What happened?" Ivy inquired and her gaze deepened.
"Miss.. That.." Kily stammered. But before she replies, Fere comes out with the dress she is going to wear tonight.
Fere placed it on the bed and said "Miss, the dress is damaged"
"What?" Ivy is confused. She checked the dresses after they were delivered and they were perfectly fine. Laura, her designer, is someone who won't make mistakes, that too with fabric.
Ivy looked at her maids, Kily is having a troubled expression whereas Fere doesn't have any expression on her face but her eyes are saying something.
'Sigh. I thought of not punishing the poor maid. But she didn't leave me with any other choice. It's been a long time since the real Maia came out,' Ivy smirked.
Ivy stood up and went towards the sofa and sat on the single chair. She believes that a small snake needs to be killed with a long stick.
Kily and Fere looked at Ivy who sat on the single sofa and motioned them to come near. They both looked at each other and went near her.
Ivy leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes for a moment, she crossed her right leg over left and placed her left hand on the sofa arm rest, she lifted right hand up and loosen the ring on her index finger to play with it. (Image ref: Check the cover)
Her sitting posture is quite rebellious to them but she is looking regal. Ivy opened her eyes and her calm black eyes turned cold, which sent a shiver to Kily.
Kily never saw this side in Ivy and was quite surprised and shocked. Fere startled by her look but soon she becomes relaxed thinking that she is a weak miss who is under protection of her family.
"I gave one chance to you both." Ivy's cold voice made them jump in fright.
Ivy was satisfied with the looks on their faces before continuing "One chance. Spill the beans. Who damaged my dress?"
Kily and Fere's mouth went dry just by listening to her voice, they never thought in their wild dreams that their miss would speak like this and look frightening.
"SPEAK" Ivy fumed.
Kily jumped in fright and stuttered "Miss.. Miss.. That"
Fere looked at Kily who was sweating profusely and to say Fere is shocked will be understatement. She never thought that their weak miss have this side, her voice really brought goose bumps to her.
Kily gave a look at Fere and she sensed something was going to be wrong so she planned something evil and hurriedly explained "Miss, it is done by Kily. I saw with my own eyes."
Kily looked at Fere with disbelief, she is planning to save her by saying that it happened accidently while taking out, she wants to save Fere from Ivy wrath. She also has a sister who is having quite a temper like Fere. She understands their behaviour and wants to help her.
But Fere didn't even think about a second to put blame on her. She really felt like a fool to save her. Kily's eyes turned red but she held back stubbornly and swore in her heart to not cry for these kinds of shitty people.
Ivy observed the turmoil happening in Kily and looked at Fere "Ohh... Really? Then tell me how she damaged my dress and where?"
