Dragon Loves Me

Oliver was stunned by her words of advice. 'Where am I? Who am I?'

Maia shook her head by seeing his innocent expression and continued her focus on the drama.

Oliver also watched the drama in a trance while digesting Maia words.

After the drama, Maia came out from the theatre along with Oliver and she had a smile on her face.

'It's been a long time." Maia smiled.

Oliver brows creased, "Did you watch the drama earlier?"

'Ohh No..' Maia clicked her tongue and said "It's been a long time since I came out and enjoyed like this. I used to be in the mansion a lot."

Aivyn used to be in the mansion long time as her health is not in good condition. Even if she comes out there will be someone with her to protect. She only used to go places where there would be no crowd.

Oliver nodded his head, he also knew that about her and didn't probe further but he had one question. 'Now why no one is coming with her? Did she inform her family about this meeting?'

"Thanks Again. Oliver." Maia thanked him from her bottom of heart.

Oliver nodded his head and stretched his hand before saying "Shall we go."

Maia took his hand and smiled "Now where are we going?"

"Secret."

Oliver took a carriage for rent and they both left the crowded place, the scenery changed from building to greenery. Maia likes this peace and they both didn't speak anything in the whole journey but the silence is comfortable.

Soon the carriage stopped in front of a gate and they both descended the carriage. Oliver paid for the coach man and took Maia inside.

"Where is this place?" Maia asked while walking beside Oliver. The sides are covered with trees and the air is fresh and clean.

"This is my master home." Oliver explained and Maia saw a house in front of her. The house seems to be old but spacious.

"Ohh. But why are we here?" Maia didn't know why he took her here.

"I don't have any elders in my life. This is the only person who taught me how to wield a sword and fight. He is the only elder I have." Oliver's voice was grave and his eyes are filled with sadness.

Maia felt sad seeing Oliver like this but she also understood his feelings, in her previous place she lost them one by one, he didn't have anyone to begin with.

'Why am I feeling that I am visiting the in-laws? Is this the reason he took me here?' Maia's heart trembled with that thought.

"Wait." Maia stopped in her tracks. Oliver also stopped and looked at her with confusion.

Maia's voice trembled slightly "A-Are we meeting your elders? I didn't prepare for this."

Oliver was amused by her thoughts, he brought her here to seek some advice from his master. He also wants to assure her that he has evidence to support her in this matter.

Oliver got a silly thought and said "Yes, haven't we agreed earlier? You will consider the proposal."

Maia looked at him with pure shock and she was not able to speak for a minute. "But that is after I am convinced with your proof, right?"

"Yes, I am sure that you will be satisfied with my evidence. So I will bring you in advance to meet my master and get his blessings." Oliver said as a matter of fact.

"Aren't you going fast?" Maia didn't stop herself from asking this question. She agreed to consider but not accept the proposal for marriage. There is a long way for her to meet his elders for blessings.

"No. Now let's go" Oliver didn't give her a chance to speak and dragged her to the house.

They both stood in front of the door and knocked on it. He saw Maia from the corner of eye who seemed to be nervous.

Oliver felt bad and sighed "Don't worry. Treat it as a visit for your proof verification."

Maia, who is feeling nervous for no reason, calms down after hearing his words. She may be bold and rebellious but this is new to her. She never met any elders for their blessings and she doesn't even have an idea of marriage but now everything is different.

The door creaked open and an elder figure who was wearing a while loose shirt and grey pants came out. He has a white beard and hair but his body seems to be strong and well built.

"Master," Oliver greeted.

"You brat. Do you remember me now? You lass. Tell me" the old man roared.

Maia who is standing behind Oliver got startled and shrunk behind him. Oliver scratched his forehead and looked behind to make sure Maia was not witnessing this.

"What? Why are you looking behind?" the old man came forward and twisted his ears.

"Ouch.. Master. Master. Please leave me. Ouch" Oliver cried with pain and surprise.

Maia found this situation funny and stifled her laugh. The old man didn't notice her and continued twisting Oliver's ear.

'Oh there is someone who twists Lord Gavon's ear? What a scene.. In future I will use this to blackmail. ' Maia grinned.

"Master There is someone here." Oliver escaped from his clutches and pushed Maia to the front.

Maia was shocked when Oliver pushed him and he was behind her by holding her shoulders. Maia looked at the angry old man and gulped hard.

"G-Good Afternoon Sir. I am Maia." Maia introduced herself.

"What is happening?" a sweet and elderly voice was heard behind the old man. The old man's expression stiffened and he turned around and smiled awkwardly.

"Darling, you are here. This brat, I mean Gavon came to visit us." The old man moved aside and Maia saw an elderly woman who is in her sixties appeared.

Her face and body are aged but that doesn't hide the beauty and her emerald eyes stood out to attract others.

"Oh. My. Such a lovely young lady. Is she our Granddaughter? John how many times have I told you to behave? Huh?" Hana scolded.

Hana looked at Maia and Oliver with a sweet smile before inviting them "Come inside child. It's cold outside. Gavon, finally you did a great thing."

Hana patted Gavon when he passed through her. Maia went in and the house is spacious with necessary furniture. There is not any extravagant furniture, instead the house is full of plants and wooden furniture.

Even though there are two people in this house it is full of life. Maia seated in the wooden sofa set which has white cushions and mattress. Others also sat and Grandma Hana sat beside Maia.

"Grandma. See master hurt my ear" Oliver complained. Maia who is sitting beside Hana was taken back by Oliver words. He is such a big man and the twist didn't hurt him more than a sword cut but he is acting like some spoiled brat.

"John.. Why did you do that? Can't you see he brought a girl to home and you tried to embarrass him in front of her."
