Dragon Loves Me

"Ivy '' Alyssa's voice became hoarse due to not having water for quite some time. Alyssa was surprised and shocked to see Ivy in her home.

"Hi Lysa. Sorry for disturbing you. This man here can't control his mouth." Ivy blamed Elric for his actions.

"Your Highness" Alyssa stood up and greeted him.

"Ahem. Sorry Ms Alyssa. We disturbed your work" Elric felt guilty for disturbing her concentration.

"It's fine. Your Highness" Alyssa smiled.

Elric was struck by her beautiful smile. He felt like a thousand flowers bloomed around her, he saw her at the banquet but he never noticed her smile would be this beautiful.

"Wow, Lysa. What are you painting?" Ivy exclaimed.

They looked at the painting, on the board under the night sky with dazzling stars there was a beautiful seashore. The couple are holding hands and walking on the shore while water touches their feet.

It gives a calm and amazing feeling. It transported us to the world where once the soul is carefree and the heart is at peace without restrictions.

"It's not a great thing" Alyssa smiled shyly.

'Ahhh. How can she be so beautiful? Elric what's wrong with you. Control. You never behaved like this' Elric scolded himself in his mind and tried to act normal.

He saw so many beautiful and sexy women in his life but something is different in Alyssa which made him attracted towards her. He saw her in the banquet but did not communicate with her due to circumstances but seeing her in her home, without any outside makeup, doing her work added beauty to her.

'Is it love at first sight?'

"It is your humble nature, Ms Alyssa. But your painting is really beautiful." Elric added with a smile causing Alyssa blush.

"Thank you, Your Highness"

"Lysa, show me your work. I came here to see your whole work." Ivy said while looking around the room.

Alyssa felt uncomfortable and nervous to show her paintings to Ivy. She already promised her that she would come and see her paintings. And she is not going to break that, with that in mind she nodded her head and went towards the other side of the room and opened the white cloth.

Under that a pile of boards were placed and she took one and hung it on the holders. On the board it is a perfect sunrise picture. She seemed to be painted it in the morning.

"WOW" Ivy exclaimed.

One after another Lysa displayed her paintings and informed her about the reason or inspiration behind the painting. All her paintings are more of nature and few consist of people and animals.

"Your paintings are really breath taking. Alyssa" Elric couldn't stop himself from praising her.

"Exactly. They are masterpieces" Ivy also complimented.

Alyssa's heart filled with happiness, this is the first time she heard the genuine praises apart from her family. She saw the genuine expression in their eyes and she truly felt happy and content.

"Thank You. Thank you so much" Alyssa smiled but her eyes turned red.

Meanwhile in the Drayce Mountain, Cayden and Bratton went for rounds whereas Simon and Ronald are checking the records of dragons.

Glen is fidgeting himself whether to inform Simon about the thing he saw in the mountain or not. He is lost in thoughts and didn't heard the Simon voice.

"Glen, Glen" Simon shook him.

Glen startled and looked at Simon before replying "Y-yes Master"

"What happened to you? Are you not feeling well?" Simon inquired.

Glen shook his head "No Master. I am good. Please tell me"

"Are you sure? Take some rest and visit your family" Simon added.

Glen was touched by his kindness and his eyes turned red "Thank you Master. But I am good. Just thinking about something."

Simon looked at him for sometime before nodding his head before going to do his work. Glen looked around and went near Simon before saying "Master, I hid one thing from you."

Simon turned back and looked at Glen, Ronald also looked at Glen and stopped his work. They both are looking at him to complete his words.

Glen thought about this matter thoroughly and came to a conclusion to inform his master about the thing he noticed.

"Master, on the day of the Young Master and Young Miss accident I saw the princess feeding the Young master dragon something." Glen revealed.

"What?" Simon and Ronald were shocked.

Simon held him by his shoulders and asked "Are you sure Glen?"

Glen looked directly into Simon's eyes and nodded his head. Simon released his hand and his eyes turned cold.

" But why?" Ronald perplexed. As far he remembered her sister didn't have any feud with the Princess and they only met recently.

"Glen, Are you sure she did that?" a cold voice echoed in the room.

Glen turned and looked at the entrance. Cayden is standing there and his face is dark with anger.

"Yes, Young Master. I am not sure what she fed but apart from her no one fed anything to the dragon. I informed one person to check the dragon till you all left. According to him no one came near the dragon" Glen concluded.

Glen never saw Princess feeding Dragons when they visited the Drayce Mountains, so he was perplexed and assigned one person to watch the dragon secretly. According to him no one reached the dragon after Glen informed him. So Glen is sure that it is something related to Princess because before that Ronald used the Dragon to fetch the Doctor.

The possibilities of Dragon consuming something outside is very slim.

'Why? What is the purpose? What will the Princess gain by harming Ivy?'

'Is it because of me? Am I the reason for this?' Cayden's mind started running.

"This explains a lot. I guess Ivy is also suspecting someone as per our last discussion" Simon voiced out.

Everyone in the room looked at him. Simon took a deep breath before replying "The night before the ceremony, Ivy visited me and informed me to tighten the security around the Mansion. I inquired about her for more details but she mentioned she is also not sure but she had a hint. She said she will reveal once she is confirmed."

"Today I will speak with Ivy again.. If that is the princess doing I will not let her leave without proper justice" Simon's face turned dark and his voice became cold.
