Chapter 72 - [Bonus ] Payback
Ivy emotions are in check, her voice remain calm, her eyes are determined with spirit. Everyone looked at Ivy in another light. Everyone in the room is frustrated, angry, and confused but here Ivy is calm and collected.
'She seems well prepared for this outcome. How mesmerizing' Gavon looked at Ivy with a smile.
Left with no choice, everyone went along with her to the hall. The hall atmosphere is tense and everyone is discussing the incident. The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Bratton, who was having a headache while answering to the nobles, got surprised and looked at the people. They all looked at someone, Bratton also turned around and saw Ivy walking along with her parents.
Bratton was surprised and perplexed seeing ivy in the hall. Andrea who is happily chatting with nobles by showing fake concern about the incident. Andrea dropped the glass in her hand and the sound made everyone look at her instinctively.
Aivyn also looked at Andrea and their eyes met, Ivy smirked seeing the panic expression on her face. Aivyn's doubts got cleared by her simple action.
"Your Highness, Are you alright?" a noble lady beside her inquired about her.
Andrea came out of her shock and nodded her head. Andrea composed herself and walked towards Aivyn with a concern in her eyes. Ronald along with Aaron came inside after hearing the servant was found dead but they were surprised to see Ivy in the hall.
"Aivyn, Are you alright?" Andrea inquired softly.
Ivy sneered inside but replied with a smile "How come I will be alright Princess? I barely escaped from the death."
Andrea got flustered and replied hurriedly "It's not like that."
"Thank you for your concern, your highness. I am not in a state to do a curtsy bow. I hope princess don't mind" Ivy said slowly and her voice was weak but steady.
Andrea looked at Ivy who was speaking differently and her aura was also frightening to her "It's fine."
Aivyn smiled and faced the crowd before saying "Apologies for the disturbance caused. Today I got a great gift from his Majesty and My grandfather and at the same time I got a surprise attack as well. I thought for a minute that the people tried to rob me for the valuable gifts"
Ivy chuckled and everyone relaxed seeing her looking normal, they instinctively straightened their backs when they heard the cold voice "But, it is not the case. Someone try to harm me in Dalton Mansion, my home."
Ivy scanned everyone and her gaze remained on the prince for a second longer which made him feel uneasy "I, Aivyn, the daughter of Simon Dalton will never fear by your so-called methods. Be prepare to receive the ten folds of the same"
With that all the people in the hall legs turned jelly and looked at Ivy with horror in their eyes. They never thought the simple and calm looking girl, the rumoured sick girl will have this power of dominance.
Gavon, who has been observing her for quite some time, got amused, astonished, shocked, perplexed, in a short amount of time he saw different shades in her and he didn't know which one to believe.
Ivy's cold face turned normal, but her face remained calm. King Henirich was pleased by Ivy's comeback.
"I, King of Neivya, is going to find the culprit and make sure the punishment will be handled properly. It doesn't matter the culprit's status they will deserve the punishment" King Henirich words caused another uproar in the crowd.
Ivy looked at her grandfather who stood beside her like always felt happy. In the modern world also he never abandons her, he is always there for her whenever she is facing any crisis, he supports her, he motivates her, he guides her in the right path and teaches her many things in life.
'He didn't change at all' Ivy smiled happily.
Ivy's smile went away when she faced the crowd and replied "Thank you for coming. Due to today's incident our party came to a hard stop. I am still in shock and my weak body can't take it anymore. I will take my leave. Good Night everyone"
Gavon mouth twitched 'What shock? You are throwing daggers at them till now'
Ivy looked at prince and princess one last time before turning around to leave. She didn't even bother to greet them and left the room.
Everyone came back to their senses when Ivy left the room. All her family members, Bratton family also left along with her leaving the guests to mend themselves.
Left with no option, everyone slowly started dispersing and soon the hall became empty. Andrea glared at Aaron before going out of the room. Aaron also lost his cool when he saw the look in Ivy eyes.
'Did she find out something?' Aaron left the place to close all the tracks.
At the same time in the Royal Palace, Calvin entered the King's chamber after knocking the door. Gabriel is sitting on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand looking relaxed.
"Your Majesty," Clavin greeted.
Gabriel looked at Calvin and smiled "What brings you here Calvin?"
"Your Majesty, something happened at Dalton Mansion" Calvin started.
After Calvin completed his words, Gabriel's face changed and his grip over the glass tightened.
"Calvin, Who did this?" Gabriel inquired even though he knew the answer.
Calvin looked at the King and sighed before replying "Based on our spies, Prince and Princess involvement is there. And Prince personal guard Theo also present in the place"
The glass in Gabriel hand broke into several pieces, a piece of glass struck in his hand. Calvin did not rush but he went to take the cotton and cloth to treat his wounds.
Calvin emotions are in check he didn't flustered, he stood beside Gabriel side and took his hand "Your Majesty, please let me treat"
Gabriel didn't say any word either, after Calvin treated his wound he stepped back and stood in front of his majesty.
"That brainless girl and that lousy brain brat both are so stupid and senseless. I told them several times to not mess with these two families but they never heed my words.." Gabriel fumed.
