Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 128

In Bratton Mansion, no one said anything after the envoy announced the matter, Bratton informed him that he would consider the proposal and reply to His Majesty of Neivya.

Gabriel didn’t probe further, he gave time for Alyssa to consider the matter. He can force her but in front of so many people and other kingdom envoys he doesn’t want to do that. After some time he left with the Queen with an excuse.

Bratton and his family sighed, they thanked the King of Neivya a lot in their hearts for saving them from the situation. The nobles got a spicy matter to discuss for weeks and they started a debate on the matter whom Alyssa will choose.

Aivyn went towards Alyssa who was resting in the secluded place, her energy drained in a few minutes. It all came as a shock to her, when she was entering the hall she was nervous to face people and in a few minutes she was thrown into hell and in the next few minutes, someone picked her up from the hell only to give a breather.

“I never thought your life would be this thrilling, Lysa,” Ivy joked to lift the mood for Alyssa.

Alyssa was startled by the sudden voice and patted her chest “God, you scared me.”

Ivy came towards and sat beside her “How come a ‘soon to be Queen’ will be scared of me?”

Lysa glared at Ivy and chided “It’s not funny.”

Ivy raised her hands in the air and added “Okay. Okay. But don’t worry, now it is not your problem. For you two Princes, no no two Kingdoms are fighting. Let’s sit back and enjoy ourselves. Now the ball is in your court, let them think and come back.”

“It’s not that easy, Ivy. I am scared.” Lysa’s body trembled, what if she really had to marry Prince Aaron. Her life will be over.

Ivy wrapped her hands around her shoulder and patted gently “Come on, Uncle, Aunt, Cayden, Me, everyone is here for you. The whole family is behind your back, no one will force you to do something you don’t want. If the situation worsens then also we won’t let you enter into hell. Okay?”

Lysa calmed down hearing Ivy words, her sense of protection increased and her heart calmed down. “Umm… Okay.”

“Good girl. I didn’t get a chance to wish you. Thanks to His Majesty.” Ivy snorted and looked at Lysa with a smile and wished “Wish you a very Happy Birthday, Lysa”

“Thank you, Ivy.” Lysa smiled sweetly and hugged her.

“I prepared a gift for you, I sent it to your room. Check it later. I hope you will like it.” Ivy informed Lysa to which she thanked her.

“Now tell me, are you willing to marry my Brother Elric? Huh? What’s going on between you two?” Ivy inquired playfully.

Lysa blushed when she heard Elric name, “W-When did I say that? And nothing is going on between us.”

Ivy already got a hunch seeing the blush on Lysa face “Your blush is speaking a lot. Once I reach home I will send a letter to Elric saying that someone is trying to Steal his Girlfriend. Let’s see how he is going to react.”

Ivy laughed happily imagining Elric’s reaction, Lysa also thought how his reaction would be and felt happy that he sent a proposal at the correct time or else she would be in a dire situation.

Lysa looked at Ivy and probed “Ivy if you don’t mind. Can I ask you something?”

Ivy raised her brows and looked at Lysa, “Why are you hesitating? You can ask anything.”

“T-That. I observed the relationship between Prince Elric and your family. I didn’t understand it completely and my parents didn’t say anything. So, do you know anything about his past?” Lysa wanted to know more about Elric but she didn’t get any proper information about him, so she dared to ask Ivy to get full information.

Ivy became silent suddenly and her mood became tense “Lysa, This is something crucial. Do you want to hear it?”

Lysa braced herself and nodded with determination “Yes, Ivy.”

Ivy took her hands and said, “Not here, somewhere private.” They both left the place and went to another room where there was no disturbance.

Cayden, who came to meet his sister, saw Ivy go towards her. He went towards them and stood far away without disturbing them and making sure that no one was approaching them.

He heard what Ivy mentioned and how she consoled Alyssa made his heart light. He left this city when he was rejected by Ivy, he didn’t have the guts to see her married to someone. He loved her from his childhood and it is not easy to forget the feelings.

But he didn’t want to be a hindrance in her married life so he left the place. It is painful to leave her but seeing her smile and happiness in her life give him some comfort. He stopped visiting the Dalton Mansion even if he came to Capital and he want to leave all his feelings behind and focus on his career.

He came back again for his sister’s ceremony but didn’t think of witnessing the situation, after listening to Ivy words he also felt that his sister and prince Elric seemed to be in love and that is also a good thing. She will be happy if she marries the person she loves, he didn’t have that chance but at least let her enjoy life by marrying the person she wants.

Even after listening that Ivy is going to discuss something important about Elric, he didn’t follow them. He doesn’t want to know that, if his sister wants him to know then he will know, with that thought he left the place.

Gavon and Ethan reached the outskirts of the palace on the south side, they got information that a group of the unknown army was trying to invade the palace gates. After getting the news Gavon went to supervise the situation at the entrance.

They reached the entrance gate and enquired about the situation “Lord Gavon, according to the soldier information there seems to be a group of people hiding in the cave. We don’t know the exact situation.”

“What should we do, Gavon?” Ethan inquired and his hands were itching to teach a lesson to those people.

Gavon thought for a while and ordered “Select a few people in our troop, we are going there personally and wiping them out.”

Ethan’s eyes sparkled and exclaimed, “Yes, I will do it immediately.”

The soldier who informed them of the situation got dumbfounded seeing their reactions. How can they go without any army?

In no time a few people left the borders in search of the enemies, they are well versed with their actions and they are going to catch the enemies. There will be a bloodbath going to happen today.

Ivy and Lysa went inside the room where there will be few guests wandering in the mansion. After locking the door, they both settled on the bed.

“What is the matter, Ivy?” Lysa got tensed seeing her mysterious behaviour.

Ivy made herself comfortable and started speaking “Lysa told me one thing honestly. Forgot about everything and all the burdens and tell me whether you are loving Elric or not. Remember to be honest because the matter I am going to tell you is dependent on this.”

Lysa was stunned by her question and worried by listening to Ivy words “I-Ivy. That. To be honest, I don’t know how and when it started but I remembered it all started with letters. After you introduced me to Prince Elric we both used to share our interests.”

“We both are in sync and our conversations never ended. Before he left the kingdom he met me secretly to bid farewell to me, I was confused by the emotions at that time and also felt sad about his departure. But unexpectedly I got a letter from a dove.”

Lysa’s smile widened while reminiscing the past she had with Elric, Ivy almost felt like eating dog food. ‘Wow, a dove and love letters.. That is quite novel.’
