Chapter 80 - Elric Help
Ivy was taken back by Elric words, she thought that Elric is not observing her and is busy with his own thoughts but she is wrong he is observing her every reaction.
"How do you know?"
"Simple. Your outing seems to be refreshing your mind to others but not to me. You are not carving for any outing, even though you enjoyed and relieved after having a chat with Lysa but there is something bugging your brain."
Ivy smiled and nodded her head agreeing to his words. She doesn't have any words to revert back and he is spot on.
"Lysa? When did you both become close?" Ivy probed.
Elric cleared his throat and said "It's by mistake."
'Hoo boy. Don't give me that shit. You analysed my whole situation and your analysis is right on the chart but here you are saying you called her name by mistake. Don't put flowers in my ears' Ivy thought to herself and didn't inquire further.
"I heard about the incident that happened in your age ceremony about the suitor." Elric found something wrong when he entered the mansion. He saw Allora crying and noticed Ivy reddened eyes. He is not stupid to think they missed Grandfather alone. There might be some other reason behind it.
He sent his people to find out about the incidents that happened in the morning banquet. He got the information about the king proposing a suitor to Ivy and he was also aware of the person they wanted to marry Ivy.
Seeing Ivy not responding he added "Do you need any help with dealing with the situation? Grandfather and I will also find the best suitor for you."
Ivy's whole body becomes lighted and her heart filled with content. She never thought that in her life that she would be surrounded by so many kind hearted people. In her life she saw the people who were eyeing her property and status but none of them came and supported her.
'What good deed have I done to have these kinds of people in my life? God, thank you so much.' Ivy thanked wholeheartedly.
"Hey Ivy. Why are you crying?" Elric panicked. He regretted bringing this topic, he thought that she is strong minded but deep inside she is still a little girl.
"Don't cry. I won't bring up this topic again. We can discuss this later. Umm.. Do you want to eat something? You want to eat sweets? You want to go shopping? Shall we go" Elric is speaking without giving a break. He doesn't know how to deal with girls as he is always surrounded by old people and their politics.
"Pfft.." Ivy broke into laughter. Without her knowing her tears started flowing, but seeing Elric expressions ivy couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"Oh..haha.. My.. Haha… God" Ivy is laughing hard till her stomach aches.
Elric tension lesson seeing her laughing peacefully but still he is not totally relaxed.
Ivy calmed down a bit and said "How can you be like this??"
"Like what?" Elric scratched his forehead with embarrassment.
"Never mind. I cried with happiness, I have so many good people around me to protect me and I am truly grateful for that." Ivy said with a smile and Elric felt her genuine feelings.
He is also very lucky to have his mother Allora in his life. Without her he doesn't know how he will survive and also Simon. Both of them are really special to him.
"Good to hear that." Elric's heart also bloomed with happiness.
"And a suitor thing we will discuss later. We still have time, and I want to deal with one matter now. Once this is done we will focus on other things." Ivy replied seriously.
"Got it." Elric did not probe further and their journey became peaceful and they both reached the mansion before sunset after doing some shopping.
Meanwhile, Gavon is sitting in his study room and discussing a few important things with Lyo. Ethan still did not contact them.
In Front of him a few documents were placed and Gavon looked at Lyo before informing "Lyo, last time we stopped revealing these people's true colours to His Majesty. This time we have to gather all the details."
"Yes, Master. Are we going to reveal this time?" Lyo inquired.
"No, we will use these to do our work." Gavon smirked.
Lyo looked at Gavon confusingly and probed "Then what should we inform His Majesty?"
"There are so many sheep's out there. We will use one who gets on our nerves" Gavon replied calmly.
Lyo still quite didn't understand his master but nodded." Master, Ethan has not contacted us. Should I go and check?"
Gavon chuckled and teased Lyo ``You seems to care about him a lot. When he is present you don't pay attention to him but now you are worrying about him like mother hen"
Lyo blushed with embarrassment and scratched his head sheepishly. "It's not like that."
"Alright. I understand. Wait for a while. If you are having a bad feeling then send someone to check on him. Tomorrow morning you can go and check" Gavon replied.
"Yes Master" Lyo smiled and left to implement his orders.
'This Kid' Gavon sighed. After Lyo left, he closed all the files and leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.
"Aivyn," he murmured. "How are you going to deal with this matter? Are you aware who did this to you? Do I have to help you out?"
Gavon opened his eyes and felt a headache coming on his way. 'What's wrong with me? Why am I bothered by this? She will resolve her problems on her own.'
He stood up and went near the window and looked at the sky which was turning dark.
'Hope you will be alright' Gavon closed his eyes again and his body turned rigid and his mind went blank.
He saw himself in the dark place, everything around him was dark and he was not able to see anything. His heart is beating fast and an unknown emotion is squeezing his heart tightly.
He calmed down and concentrated on the surroundings, then he heard a muffled voice as he went towards it.. He saw a fire tickling in the air and the light was very dim.
