Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 68
“This is the heirloom of the Nyris Family.” Elric announced.
A collective gasp was heard and the hall went silent before breaking into a roar. Ivy gaze fixed on the beautiful necklace.
A Silver Black Colour Diamond Swan shape necklace is placed in the box. In the middle there are two swans facing each other, their front part is studded with diamonds. The remaining body is made with black diamonds.
Black diamonds are very rare and it is very hard to get. King Henirich’s wife, Queen Ellora is fond of these diamonds. King Henirich sent a party to find the black diamonds and prepared this necklace, therefore it is considered as the heirloom of Nyris family.
“Grandfather, this.. I can’t accept this gift. It is the heirloom of Nyris family and it should be passed to the next queen.” Aivyn reasoned.
She is fond of this beautiful necklace and wants to wear it but it holds a lot of weight. It is natural to get some precious gifts but getting an heirloom is quite different and it is not from the Dalton family.
Henirich smiled seeing her reaction, he quite expected this reaction from her “Ivy, if your grandmother is present here then she will surely give this to you. Don’t think of it as a weight, think of it as a blessing from your grandfather and grandmother.”
Aivyn wants to decline again but after hearing it is a blessing from them, she doesn’t have the heart to decline it. She smiled and accepted the gift happily “Thank you Grandfather. I will take care of this gift.”
Henirich nodded his head with satisfaction and in his heart he knew she would take good care of it.
“Wah.. What a splendid gift? Today Miss Aivyn got a treasure which will last for a few generations.”
“I know right? She is truly got a small kingdom as a gift today”
“Yeah, first magic water which is considered to be a rare treasure, even money can’t buy that. Another is blue dew diamond which is very hard to get by and finally heirloom of Nyris family.”
“I truly envy her.”
Everyone looked at Ivy with envy and jealousy but they couldn’t do anything apart from looking at her and feeling jealous.
“Sister, don’t let your jealousy clouded your eyes. This is your time seize it” Aaron quietly informed Andrea who is having a very hard time keeping her emotions in check.
Andrea who is drowning in hate got clear headed and his voice brought her back. She nodded at him indicating that she got his message.
“Good, I will wait for the result” Aaron left the place quietly.
“Thank you everyone” Ivy’s voice made the noise settle down.
“I am truly happy with your presence on my special day. I sincerely appreciate your effort and time you place for attending this banquet. Please enjoy the night.”
Aivyn concluded her speech and went towards her mother who was looking at her proudly. Soon a few of the noble ladies surrounded them and started chatting.
Gavon who is twirling his wine in the corner of the room has his focus on Ivy the entire time. Ivy also felt the strong gaze on her but she didn’t dwell on it as there were so many people present in the room.
“Gavon, Prince left the room” Ethan informed.
Gavon looked at Ethan calmly and said “Our focus should be on Her”, he pointed at Ivy with his finger.
Ethan nodded his head and left from there. Gavon again went back to his wine twirling program while observing Ivy.
“Aivyn, What a lovely dress.” Princess Andrea came to wish ivy.
“Your Highness” everyone around Ivy greeted Andrea.
Andrea smiled and nodded at everyone before turning towards Ivy “I must say your dress is quite daring Miss Aivyn”
“If it attracts His Highness then I must say this dress is quite daring” Ivy replied with a smile.
“But don’t you think it is revealing and what others think about you? Your reputation may be ruined” Andrea inquired with concern.
‘Huh. What an actress’ Ivy scoffed inwardly and replied “Your Highness, let me ask you something. If you are holding a party or attending a banquet how would you like to dress?”
“Of Course, I want to dress nicely,” Andrea said instantly.
Ivy smiled and nodded “Correct, now if everyone around you wears the same type of dresses, same models, same colours maybe. Then how do you feel? Don’t you want to be special?”
“Yes, I feel awful when everyone has the same type of dress but I feel great when I stand out” Andrea answered.
“Exactly, every girl deserves to be like that. So Am I. That is why I break the stereotype we are having and give confidence to others to wear these types of dress. Don’t you think it is a good idea Princess? Do you still think it is revealing or ruining my reputation?” Ivy asked calmly.
Andrea realized the meaning of Ivy words. It is indeed a good idea to break the barriers but that is not done by her, it is done by Aivyn who she hates most. Still due to this we will get to try on new designs dresses.
After all which girl resists trying new clothes and new designs. It is everyone’s dream.
Andrea smiled and took the juice by the passing servant tray and handed one to Ivy. Ivy took the glass and looked at the Princess.
“Indeed it is a good idea, Aivyn. I truly appreciate your efforts. Congratulations again on your age ceremony and best wishes on your birthday” Princess Andrea smiled and clinked her glass with her.
Ivy is shocked by the well behaved princess in front of her. ‘Is she possessed or someone transmigrated into her body?’
Ivy didn’t give any thought about her and drank her juice calmly. After a few minutes Andrea excused herself from there and went towards her seat.
Ivy felt sleepy and excused herself to get some fresh air. Andrea, who is observing Ivy, smirked when she left the hall.
‘Aivyn, today your chapter is closed.’ Andrea sneered and looked around happily. She signalled someone and relaxed to watch the scene.
