Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 122
Ivy felt sad hearing his voice and sensed that she brought up a wrong conversation, but seeing his eyes which are dead she wanted him to confess his feelings. This is the first time he is opening his heart so Ivy didn’t disturb him.
“I was taken into the palace grounds and I don’t know anyone here. After bringing here no one took care of me, they left me in the palace. I spent a few days without food and when I asked for it people used to look at me with so much hatred and started calling me with different names, after hearing them I used to avoid them and started stealing the food secretly.”
Lyo’s voice became sad but he continued “One day when I was stealing, I got caught by the guard and he tried to beat me. I escaped from there and met Master and Ethan. They both helped me to hide from the guard. From that day I used to follow them and soon Master took me under his wing.”
Ivy imagined the small Lyo used to follow Gavon and Ethan, she felt amused and she understood that he skipped so many bad memories to not make her feel bad. But she almost understood the pain he went through.
Ivy’s heart aches for the three guys who suffered in the cold palace, he wants to take care of them.
Unknowingly her eyes become wet.
Lyo looked at Ivy and became alarmed “Sis, what happened? Why are you crying?”
Lyo freaked out seeing her tears, he never knew that his words would make her cry. If he knew he wouldn’t speak a single word. Ivy wiped her tears and said “Don’t panic. I felt bad for you. You all went through so much pain. From now on, forget all your bad memories. I know it is hard but we will fill those with happy ones.”
Lyo felt relieved seeing her normal face, he also felt good in his heart. He never knew that someone would care for him other than Gavon and Ethan but now he had John, Hana and Ivy in his life.
Ivy smiled and a thought came into her mind “Lyo, tell me Gavon most embarrassing moments”
Lyo shuddered after seeing her smile but still obliged her. Their journey towards the Master Shah place is full of laughter.
Whereas in the palace the atmosphere is tense and full of calculations. All the ministers are complaining about a few things whereas few are showing their concern for the people. But those people’s words are strongly oppressed by the greedy ministers.
Gavon who is sitting silently in his place finds this boring, if he was given a chance then he would definitely clean them out. He had proof against these greedy ministers but he used those in exchange for their support to send the prince to borders.
Still, if he wants he can again get his hands on those and send them out but he is too lazy to do those. He has a wife now and he want to concentrate on her more, he has to make some changes to make his wife comfortable in the mansion.
All of his thoughts are occupied by Ivy, his thoughts break when everyone becomes silent and they are looking at the King. The King looked at everyone and said “I have good news to share.”
“We got a letter from the King of Sailus requesting for the hand in marriage for the Princess,” Gabriel announced in his authoritative tone.
All the people in the court started clapping in happiness, but Simon’s face changed when he heard the news. He clearly gave punishment to the Princess but he is trying to rescue her from that one.
Gavon also clenched his fist hard after listening to his words, ‘Sly fox.’
“Your Majesty, but the Princess..” a minister wanted to say something but suddenly another one rose from his seat and said “Your Majesty, that is very good news. If this marriage will happen our Kingdom will gain a lot. Our people won’t suffer in the summer. We can get help from the Sailus.”
“Yes, your majesty. It is indeed good news. Once our princess will get married to the King, not only our people but our army strength will increase tremendously. Our power among the other Kingdoms will be stable”
One after another ministers started supporting the Gabriel words, Gavon, Simon and Bratton did not show any kind of emotions on their faces and just looked at the ministers coldly.
‘Do they think we are weak to the state where we need to get help from that Sailus King? Even though their Kingdom is big, it is not as big as Krayton. And we have a large number of dragons and manpower,’ Gavon sneered, listening to their words.
‘The bunch of idiots. Just to make people believe they are saying true they are giving these kinds of lame excuses, we are one step ahead of that kingdom. They won’t beat us in any matter. What summer? Even in summer, we won’t suffer due to the snowy mountain.’ Simon also looked at them coldly but didn’t object to their words.
They remain silent because their support is very less now and even though they argue it won’t give any good results, let that princess get married and send her away. It will be good for everyone.
Whereas, Ivy reached the Master Shah place and got down from the carriage with the help of Lyo. Ivy stood in front of the big campus-like place. There are around three buildings which are the size of mansions inside a large wall. She is standing in front of the Gate and they have to provide their purpose of visit before moving inside.
Lyo takes care of the thing while Ivy observes her surroundings, Lyo completes the task and takes Ivy inside, they can go inside with the carriage but Ivy wants to walk as she wants to admire the beautiful place. There is another entry apart from the gate which is used to get patients inside, from there they can get people inside.
As they are walking inside, both sides of the walkway are having large bush-type plants which will come until her hip. She saw the beautiful plants are placed in between the bushes, they are divided into sections. There are different types of flowers, plants, and trees present in the garden.
In the middle there is a large fountain which resembles the mermaid and water flowing from a pot, in front of her was the main building, to her left and right there are two buildings respectively. They both have a good amount of distance from the main building.
The atmosphere is pleasant and tranquil, Ivy liked this place in an instant. She saw a few people going in and out of the building when they were near the building.
When they reached the main building they entered inside, and a large Ice Dragon was carved on the tails, it is the centre of attraction to the whole building. Now Ivy believes that the people here really take Ice Dragon as their God.
Ivy saw Adam coming from the stairs and went to greet him, “Good Morning, doctor Adam.”
Adam looked at the source of the voice and greeted her with a smile, “Good Morning, Madam Aivyn. I am glad you are here. Please come with me. I will take you to Master Shah.”
“Doctor, Please call me Aivyn. We agreed on this, right?” Ivy said with a smile. The day when she rescued the soldier in the Drayce Mountain Adam spoke highly of her and Ivy mentioned him to call her Aivyn only.
Adam laughed and said “Yes, Yes. I remember. Aivyn, I also have a request. Please call me uncle.”
Ivy was surprised by his request but complied “Sure, but outside of this place only.” She doesn’t want others to feel burdened or jealous of her relationships with the higher people. Adam seems to be polite with her but he is a student of Master Shah which means he is next to Master Shah and many people will admire him. So Ivy doesn’t want to attract unwanted attention by calling him uncle in the work environment.
Adam understood her worries and nodded his head “Okay.”
“Thank you..” Ivy smiled.
