Dragon Loves Me

Aivyn and Ronald are following behind Simon and Allora. Ivy saw the Gavon who was coming towards them, her eyes sparkled seeing him and she gave him a charming smile which struck his heart like a lightning, a sweet one.

Gavon nodded at the couple when he was near to them and they also responded, as they were in a hurry to meet his majesty they didn't stop to talk with him.

As they passed by, Ivy extended her hand a little further and Gavon also extended his hand to give a high five. They both are successful in their small act and retrieve their hands silently.

Gavon turned back slightly to look at Ivy from the corner of his eyes. Ivy also turned back while tucking her hair behind her ear.

They both looked at each other in the corner of their eyes and smiled. Their actions are like a boyfriend and girlfriend met accidentally in the presence of their parents.

When Ivy thought of it her face flushed red, where Gavon is smiling like a lovestruck fool and looking at his hand like a treasure. A maid who saw his smile lost her consciousness.

Simon took them to the guest room where to wait for His Majesty. They seated and soon servants served them refreshments.

They didn't touch anything and remained seated in their palace and their facial expressions changed. They all are serious about the treatment they received from His Majesty in the Aivyn matter.

Soon Gabriel entered the room, they all stood and greeted him in unison "Greetings!! Your Majesty and Your Highness."

Veronica was suddenly called to King chambers, she was delighted with the news and rushed to his room. But after coming there only she learned that they have to meet the Dalton family.

Veronica gritted her teeth and tagged along with Gabriel. As she has taken the responsibility she had to meet them in case they bring this matter up.

Simon's family were surprised by seeing Queen along with King as they did not expect to meet her. Aivyn felt that the atmosphere between the King and Queen was not harmonious.

"Huh. Finally, we met alone. How are you feeling Aivyn?" Gabriel inquired with a smile.

Ivy sneered inside seeing his smile, while his children were trying to harm her and he is asking about her well-being "By god grace, I am fine, Your Majesty. Thanks for asking."

"You are beautiful, Ms Aivyn. When I saw you last time you were a small kid. Sure time flies." Veronica commented while observing Ivy with a gentle gaze.

Ivy turned towards her and replied politely "It's a pleasure meeting you in person, Your Highness."

"Such a sweet child. Please take your seat everyone." Veronica started playing her role without any glitches.

Everyone settled down, they discussed a few general things. In between the talks Gabriel looked at Allora and said "Lady Allora, It seems His Majesty Henirich is angry with me. He hasn't paid a visit till now."

Allora looked at Gabriel and gave him her signature smile before responding "Father isn't angry with you, Your Majesty. It is just that he came to the Aivyn ceremony as her grandfather, not as the King of Neivya. But father conveys his greetings, today he is not able to make it as he is feeling quite unwell and Elric is taking care of him. Hope your majesty is not troubled with this."

Gabriel showed his concern by saying "I won't take it to heart, Lady Allora. Convey my greetings to your father, King Heinrich and also my wishes for his fast recovery."

"I will surely convey, Your Majesty. Thank you for your kindliness." Allora smiled and bowed slightly with her head.

"I will ask people to send a few tonics to your place for King Heinrich fast recovery, Lady Allora. Please convey my greetings to His Majesty." Veronica added.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Father will feel happy." Allora smiled at Veronica to which she nodded her head.

"So, our next heir of Dalton has quite grown up into a young man. When are you going to hand over the rights Simon?" Gabriel asked.

Simon looked at Ronald before answering "I am waiting for his approval, Your Majesty"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ronald also pitched in to explain "I asked the father to give me some time to know well about the matters here and take over."

"Simon, you have quite sensible children. Lucky man" Gabriel praised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Simon wanted to add that His Majesty was also a lucky one but he swallowed them after remembering the things they did. Gabriel also felt a fishbone stuck in his mouth seeing Simon reply. Generally, he will praise him in return but today he didn't.

Veronica came to rescue and said "Ronald and Aivyn. Why don't you go and have a tour around the palace while we elders discuss a few words."

Aivyn looked at Veronica and at her parents before nodding her head. Ronald also stood up and went along with Aivyn, as she already discussed with her parents and there was no need for her presence. Her parents will take care of the matter.

"Brother, you wanted to see the training place of the palace right? You can go ahead. I will take a small stroll in the nearby garden. You can come and meet me there after some time." Ivy suggested.

"No, Ivy. I will see that later, I don't want to leave you alone." Ronald is on alert due to the past incidents and he doesn't want to put his sister in danger again.

Ivy smiled and joked "Ron, we are in the palace and if something happened here to me then His Majesty will be responsible, no sane person will try to harm me. Relax and go ahead"

Ronald contemplated for a while and asked with hesitation "Y-You will be fine by yourself right?"

"Of course. Now scram." Ivy chuckled. Ronald laughed and left the place swiftly.

Ivy shook her head like a mother seeing Ronald's behaviour and walked towards the nearby garden. When she reached the garden entrance she was mesmerized by the garden beauty. The garden is spacious and well-taken care of.

The garden has a variety of plants, few plants have flowers that are blooming and are shining under the sunlight, butterflies are sucking the nectar from the flowers, fireflies are buzzing in the air, the cool air makes one's heart at ease. Ivy found there were very few people in this area and she went towards the flowers to take a close look at them.

As Ivy is wearing gloves she is not afraid of touching flowers as they will protect her fingers if she touches any thorns or any dangerous plants. Ivy has an idea of the plants and their uses as she had an experience of working with one of her acquaintances back in the modern world for creating some medicines. She was fascinated by seeing the variety of plants in the garden.

'Who is growing this garden? All these flowers are not only for decoration but they have few uses and there are some plants which are dreadful.' Ivy thought and touched the plant and took her hand immediately.

'Why is this here?'Ivy felt relieved seeing the gloves or else her hands would turn red in a few hours.

"Who is there?" a stern voice interrupted Ivy peace and she turned around to see the person.

"Greetings! Your Royal Highness." Ivy greeted with a curtsy after seeing the Princess.

Andrea, who is feeling frustrated these days due to her mother's decision, came out to take a stroll and she happened to see someone in her garden. She planted these plants with the help of servants to learn about preparing medicines. She didn't learn a lot but she is trying hard to master it.

She looked at the books and asked her father permission to plant these near her chamber. Gabriel also agreed to her as she is taking guidance from Master Shah. Master Shah used to give her some guidance and recently he became busy and only provided some books for her to learn.. Due to that, her progress is slow as she is too lazy to read thick books.
