Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 126
They reached the Kreed Mansion amidst the silence, Lyo got down and helped Ivy. Ivy took a deep breath and threw all her thoughts at the back of her mind.
“Thanks, Lyo,” Ivy smiled and her whole demeanour changed.
Lyo was surprised but he simply nodded and followed her, they both went near the entrance and saw Bratton and Katherine receiving guests.
“Hello Uncle and Aunt, How are you?” Ivy greeted them cheerfully.
Bratton and Katherine looked at Ivy, they were happy seeing Ivy and greeted her with a smile “Ivy, Come on in. You are looking beautiful” Katherine complimented.
“Thanks, Aunt,” Ivy smiled.
“Ivy, you are on time. Just now Simon reached. He is inside.” Bratton said with a smile.
“Really? That’s great. Then I will go and greet them” Ivy exclaimed happily.
Bratton nodded and looked behind but he didn’t find Gavon, so he asked “Ivy, where is Lord Gavon?”
Ivy’s eyes flickered for a second and she added “He went to escort His Majesty, Uncle.”
Lyo looked at Ivy for a second, he didn’t know that his master alias brother in law went to escort King. He was truly awed by Ivy acting and felt bad for his brother in law for facing her wrath. He made a mental note to not anger his sister.
“Okay. Go inside first. We will join later.” Bratton added.
Ivy and Lyo went inside, they spotted Simon and Allora easily and went towards them. Ivy smiled and patted her fathers back who was chatting with guests.
Simon turned around and his smile widened seeing Ivy, “Ivy, When did you arrive? How are you?”
Allora also turned around and held Ivy hand “Ivy, Where is my son-in-law?”
Ivy pouted and complained, “Dad, see mother don’t care about me anymore, She wants to know about her son in law only.”
Simon chuckled and patted her head lovingly “Silly, I have you right?”
“Yes, dad is the best,” Ivy exclaimed.
Allora shook her head and looked at Lyo who was observing them silently, she smiled and inquired “Lyo, how are you?”
Lyo was surprised and in the next minute, he answered obediently “Thank you for the concern. I am a good madam. How are you?”
Ivy shook her head, she tried to take these three members with her to meet her family in the last few days. She want them to communicate with her family but they used to avoid with some lame excuses. Gavon used to accompany her, but he also spoke a few words and sat in the hall without making any noise.
Allora smiled gently “We are good. I heard you joined Heaven hospital to learn medicine. I am very happy for you. Congratulations.”
Lyo felt warm inside his heart, he felt grateful to God for sending Ivy and her family members into his life. Without them he will never feel these emotions in his heart, he is quite happy for the amount of care he is getting.
“Thank you, Madam. I will work hard.” Lyo said with determination.
“Do well young man, but you will never suppress my daughter?” Simon said proudly.
“Dad,” Ivy glared at Simon, he cleared his throat and looked away from his daughter’s eyes.
Lyo smiled lightly and nodded his head “Sure, My Lord. Sister is really incredible, no one can beat her.” a hint of pride is swelling in his eyes too.
Simon felt great after hearing Lyo’s response and he was quite impressed with him. Earlier he had a different opinion on Lyo but now it is changing slowly. He started a conversation with Lyo, totally forgetting about the absence of his son in law. But Allora dragged Ivy to the corner.
“Ivy, tell me what happened?” Allora inquired.
“Mom, What’s wrong?” Ivy got confused seeing her mom’s behaviour.
“Where is Gavon?” Allora asked straightly.
Ivy eyes again flashed the sadness but she concealed it, Allora got the look in her eyes and understood the situation.
“He went to the palace to escort His Majesty,” Ivy repeated the same.
Allora looked at Ivy and held her chin before speaking “Really? Do you think you can fool your mom?”
“M-mom that..”
“Okay, I got it. Fights are common between couples, I won’t interfere. But don’t forget to come to me if you want to speak.” Allora consoled Ivy.
Ivy’s eyes welled up but she suppressed them and nodded her head. Allora patted her head lovingly and she remembered a thing “Ivy, one more thing. Cayden is here.”
“Huh?”
“The Head of Kreed Mansion, Lord Bratton along with the Young Miss of Kreed family Alyssa Kreed has arrived.”
Their attention is diverted towards the star of the day. Alyssa is wearing a half shoulder red dress embroidered with red stones which will shine when light hits her, her hair is done in an updo with matching red flowers. She is wearing diamond earrings and a necklace which enhance her beauty.
Ivy suggested Fairy designer to Alyssa and Laura did a great job in designing the dress. Recently Fairy has been growing at a steady pace and people’s mindset is also getting changed for new model dresses. The custom made designer dresses are increasing which made Laura workload increase tremendously but it also leads to the employment of a few more women in Fairy.
“Everyone, the one and only sun of Krayton Kingdom, His Majesty and Her majesty have arrived” the guard announcement made the entire hall silent. Everyone bowed towards the entrance.
Gabriel entered the hall with his powerful presence, along with him Queen Veronica also tagged. They both went towards the centre of the place where the birthday girl family is present.
“Greetings to His Majesty and Her Majesty” Bratton and his family members greeted them.
“Rise, Everyone” Gabriel announced and looked at Alyssa before adding “Congratulations, Miss Alyssa”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. I am blessed by your presence” Alyssa greeted with a curtsy.
“Congratulations, Miss Alyssa” Veronica also wished her in an authoritative voice.
Alyssa made a curtsy bow to Veronica and said “Thank you, Your Highness. I am honoured by your presence.”
“Bratton, this time I got a big present for your daughter.” Gabriel started with a smile.
Bratton had a bad feeling seeing his smile, he is well aware of this smile. “We are honoured, Your Majesty.”
Gabriel chuckled and turned around the crowd before announcing “Everyone, You all are aware of the two prominent families and their services to this Kingdom. We all are grateful for their kindnesses to this Kingdom.”
“The star of the day Alyssa is from one of those families, considering their enormous services to the Kingdom I would like to give her a surprise by inviting her to be a part of my and our family.”
Everyone gasped, Alyssa raised her head with shock in her eyes. Ivy was also surprised by the sudden announcement, she never expected this turn of events. All the people in the hall are having different thoughts and emotions going in their minds.
Gabriel looked at the reaction of the people and smiled before continuing “Today, I hereby propose a marriage alliance with Miss Alyssa to my Son and the Prince of this Kingdom Aaron Drackston.”
It is like a huge bomb to the people present in the hall, this is everyone dream to be a part of the Drackston family. It is such an honour to everyone, so many dreamt of this position. Once the king gets down from the throne then the Prince will be the next king as there are no successors, which means the one who married him is going to be the Queen of this Kingdom.
Every parent’s dream is to marry their daughter to a prestigious family, and in Krayton every noble person’s dream is to make their daughter enter into the Drackston family. They all are jealous and envious of Bratton and his family.
Simon and Allora are having complex emotions.. Seeing the turn of events they did not know how to respond, it is a great honour but to what extent? They knew the Prince’s addictions, which parent wants to destroy their daughter’s future just for a title? If Simon and Allora are present in that situation will they do the same? All the thoughts are going in their brain.
