Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 102

“She got agitated and insulted me, I thought maybe I was wrong. But while she continued talking she revealed that she wants me and my family to die.” Ivy looked at Gabriel and her eyes turned red. Ivy wants to add some spice to her words and her acting is topnotch.

Gabriel looked at Andrea coldly causing the latter to shudder in fear, she tried to speak but no words came out.

“After the accident, my brother informed me that the dragon got poisoned and shared the report. I studied that report and saw one ingredient which is not found in our Kingdom. But today I saw that in the Princess garden.” Ivy’s voice turned icy.

Simon clenched his fist hard and the guilt is weighing him down. All these years, his hard work, his loyalty, his time, everything he spent on this throne seems worthless.

“Ms Aivyn, the report might be fake. How can you be sure of that?” Veronica raised her voice.

Ivy looked at the Queen calmly and said “The report is given by Master Shah.”

With that one name, the Queen’s mouth shut and she didn’t know how to reply. She can’t accuse Master Shah that will be the end of her.

Looking that the Queen has no words Ivy continued “And also there is a live witness to confirm that the Princess fed something to Dragon on that day. As for the maid, Lord Gavon saw the maid far away from the Garden when I am ‘attacking’ the princess. He is right outside of the door to be a witness.” Ivy stressed the word to tell them it is all a made-up lie.

Andrea’s face paled and she felt her world collapsing, she did it without anyone’s notice but at the end of the day she was seen and now there is no escape for her. As for the maid, yes she is not in the surroundings, she only forced the maid to be the witness. Now even after being strangled by Aivyn, she can’t prove herself.

“Father, that..”

“Enough” Gabriel roared and looked at Andrea without any emotion in his eyes “Princess Andrea, I am asking you one last time. Did you do that? I only want to hear the truth.”

“Father. That..” Andrea was nervous and her head was mush without any thoughts. She looked at her mother who was not even sparing a glance to her and there was disappointment in her eyes.

“Your Majesty, Not only that, It seems the Princess had a part in the accident at my age ceremony,” Ivy added, she wants to strike the iron when it is hot. She doesn’t know whether she will get this opportunity or not.

“What?”

“Yes, we got reports from the Master Shah disciple that my drink has been drugged and the ingredients prepared also have..”

“No,” before Ivy completed her words Andrea shouted “No, how can that be? I didn’t prepare for that, I just helped …”

Andrea gasped and covered her mouth when realization dawned on her. ‘Oh no.’

Veronica’s eyes shot daggers towards Andrea whereas Gabriel’s anger rose. He never thought that his children would be this ignorant.

Ivy smirked inside and looked at Andrea sadly “What have I done Princess? What did I ever do to you to deserve this? We met recently and you tried to murder me two times no, three times.”

“Ms Aivyn, Please watch your words.” Veronica glared at Ivy when she heard murder. She can’t tolerate when someone labeled her daughter as a murderer. If word goes out it will damage her reputation.

“What’s wrong? Your Highness,” a calm and gentle voice interrupted Veronica, Allora came towards Ivy and stood in front of her.

“Isn’t the Princess tried to kill my daughter? If we dont call it murder, then what is it? Don’t you label my daughter as a murderer earlier?” Allora eyes are burning fire and she never forgot the look on ivy when she utters the word murder.

“Lady Allora.”

“It’s Princess Allora” Allora cut her and looked at the Queen intimidatingly “I am the Princess of Neivya. Even after marrying into Dalton’s family, my father kept my status as Princess. I am still Princess of a Kingdom. Now I am speaking as a Princess and Mother of Aivyn.”

Veronica swallowed her words and she felt like hitting someone, the situation becoming dry with every passing second. She heard about how powerful Allora was, she is rumoured to be Queen of Neivya, if she didn’t marry Simon.

“Lady Allora. You are talking to the Queen of Krayton.” Gabriel’s stern voice interrupted the heated discussion.

Veronica felt happy after hearing Gabriel, but Allora didn’t back down, she is trained to speak with the King’s from her childhood “Your Majesty, I am aware of that but here everyone forgot about me and my husband’s hard work and planned to kill my own children. Even a hen fights with a snake if it tries to bite her children. After all, I am a mere human.”

“Your Majesty, If you feel that my words are not fair then we will take our leave now and meet in court along with my father. That time there won’t be any problem, right? Your Majesty” Allora spoke calmly, her voice is clear as mellow but stern at the same time.

Attending the court along with the King of Neivya will be a huge problem and if the word goes out the internal revolution may happen. If Simon wants to withdraw from his position and Bratton supports him, that will create a big void in his ministry and his doom will come soon.

Even though he is king and he can order around doesn’t mean that he can control everything. He can’t accuse these people without proper reasons, the fame they have in the people is huge and one wrong step will drag him to hell.

“Simon, Can’t we talk and find a solution to this? I will definitely investigate this and punish the culprits whoever it is.” Gabriel found the weak target. Simon never disagreed with him and he knew he had strong principles.

“Apologise to Your Majesty, we want justice at this instant. And also Lord Gavon helps us in this Investigation. We can invite him this instant and close this matter.” Simon stated.

Gabriel looked at Simon in disbelief, all these times whatever the situation he created, however, he tested them he always obeyed him but now…

Gabriel sighed and ordered Gavon and Calvin inside. In this situation, Calvin will be helpful and he will at least try to ease the punishment.

After a few minutes, Gavon and Calvin both enter the room, they feel the atmosphere and have a rough idea about the same.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness” Calvin bowed and greeted. Gavon also greeted them formally.

“You called us, Your Majesty,” Calvin inquired.

“Yes, Calvin. The situation is..” Gabriel explained the situation to him and Gavon’s face turned a few shades darker.

“Your Majesty, I saw this maid while I am coming towards this chamber, but in the midway, I saw Ms Aivyn and helped her to show around. Then how can she say that she is near the Princess?” Gavon declared.

Gabriel explained the scenario and both sides stories, but he didn’t mention the part of the maid. So after hearing Gavon’s answer Gabriel felt depressed.

When Gavon’s eyes locked on the maid, she shivered and dropped her head down. She just wants to hide under the ground so that she can be saved. Gavon went towards her slowly, with each step towards the maid making her heart tremble in fear.

Gavon stood five feet apart from the maid and asked “Speak.”

“Lord Gavon, you are frightening the witness,” Veronica spoke and she was met by the dangerous gaze.

“Your Highness, if we ask nicely we won’t get results.” Gavon said and turned towards the maid “Can’t you hear?”

Ivy and Ronald are mesmerized by the turn of events, they both witnessed the powerful side of their parents and also Lord Gavon words to support them. Ivy lied in the maid matter, if Gavon revealed she may add something to cover it up but she never thought that he really saw her.

‘What kind of coincidence is this?’ Ivy amused.
