Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 73

Gabriel thought for a second and ordered “Calvin, send orders to kill Prince’s personal guard. If matters escalate, throw the blame on him.”

Calvin nodded without saying anything, even he tried to reason His Majesty wont listen to him. “And let those two stupid people grounded in palace don’t let them leave the palace till my orders were passed.”

“Understood, Your Majesty,” Calvin nodded.

Gabriel leaned back on his sofa and inquired “When will the Queen return? Send a letter to her to come back immediately.”

Calvin nodded and left the room to implement the orders.

The tension in the Dalton family did not subside, everyone seated in the study room to discuss the situation and also to make the correct decision.

Everyone’s faces are devoid of emotions and lost in thoughts. Ivy looked around the room and sighed.

“Grandfather, Father, let’s call it a day,” Ivy said slowly.

Everyone came out of their thoughts and looked at Ivy. Ivy smiled at everyone and said

“I know you are all worried about me and want to do something but this is not the time to think. You all are tired of today’s events.”

“We are not leaving this matter behind, to think about the issue, to come up with a plan we all need energy. So, listen to me.”

Ivy’s words make sense and all of them are tired of the events today. They hosted a grand ceremony for Ivy, did so many things starting from decorations to entertaining guests. Their eyes are tired and their body also. Even though they all are well built and energetic persons today events are rather special.

Starting from a happy event, it went to a shocking stage due to his majesty’s sudden proposal, turned into an emotional period when King Henirich met them after a long time as well as a sudden turn of events in Ivy life, Ivy Deal with the maid, and later someone planning an abduction attempt.

No sane person can take such an emotional rollercoaster in one day. It is indeed shocking and overloaded. All of their brains, body stopped working, only their anger remained until they woke up.

Seeing there would be no reaction, Ivy stood up and went towards Bratton and said “Uncle Thank you so much for today. You, Aunty, Cayden, Alyssa helped us a lot and you all are tired. So please go and take a rest. Paul already prepared a guest room for you. We will discuss this matter tomorrow”

Bratton stood up and patted her head “It’s nothing dear. No need for thanks. You are like my daughter as well. Sure, will listen to you and it is not good for you as well to remain awake. So go and catch some sleep”

“Sure Uncle” Ivy smiled. Katherine stood up and patted Ivy’s shoulder before giving her a brief hug. Along with Bratton his family members left to have some rest.

Gavon already left the mansion along with everyone. Only Ivy and her family members are remaining.

“Grandpa. Elric. Please go and take a rest” Ivy turned towards them and said.

Elric nodded and asked Henirich to leave with him. While leaving Henirich paused and patted her head before saying “You are such a strong girl. You grown up very well”

With that Henirich left the room along with Elric. Ivy smiled and felt happy inside hearing the same words again from her grandfather.

Ivy walked towards father and squatted down before saying “Dad, I am feeling sleepy. Will you read a book to me”

Ivy placed her head on his legs and closed her eyes. Simon caressed her smooth silver hair and nodded.

“Ronald, go and sleep. You must be very tired.” Allora patted his shoulder.

Ronald went near Ivy and patted her head lovingly and left the room. Allora and Simon took Ivy to her room.

After informing her to change they also went to change. Simon came to her after some time with a book and read her book till Ivy fell asleep.

Ivy soon drifted into sleep while holding Simon’s hand. Simon kissed her forehead before turning off the light.

The sunlight peeked through the close curtains and fell on the sleeping Ivy. Ivy eyes quivered and opened slowly.

Ivy wake up with yawn and stretched her body. She looked around and noticed that Kily didn’t come inside. She moved back and leaned on the bed headrest.

All the thoughts from yesterday played in her mind, ‘There are a lot of things that happened in one day. It is indeed draining my energy.’

‘After coming to this world I have only one motive to live happily with my family members and help them in need. But yesterday’s events totally destroyed my plans. Still, I will try my best to avoid all these hardships and live a happy life.’ Ivy eyes glowed with determination.

‘So much of drama, I seriously want to put an end to this asap. First I need to catch those two evil creatures and prove them as culprits which is a very huge task. Come to think of it I had premonition earlier about something going to happen to me. Surprisingly it became true, I fell from the dragon. But why didn’t I get that again? Is it only one chance? Or will it come when I am truly in danger?’

‘Second, I need to discuss with Lord Gavon about the marriage. I have to cancel this but who knows what the King plans later. So I have to trade this carefully.’

‘Third, I need to eat’ Ivy smiled and got out of her bed to have a hearty breakfast to start her new day freshly. Nothing is more important than tasty food.

Meanwhile in the Drayce Mountains, all the soldiers started their day like usual with cheers, noise and fun. But suddenly the Dalton Mansion celebration topic came.

“Hey guys! Have you heard this? Our Master Simon daughter got injured in yesterday banquet”

“What? Who did that?”

“The rumour is the culprit was found dead in the kitchen”

“Really? That happened?”

“Yes, I was at the Mansion yesterday. Till night everything went smoothly but suddenly someone tried to attack Young Miss. Soon after that search goes on in the Mansion. Young Master Ronald personally conducted the search. You should have seen the young master. He is totally different from normal. I just got goose bumps.. After few minutes of his search we got a news that someone dead in the kitchen.”
