Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 85

“I have my father to do that.”

“If that is the reason you won’t be here.”

Ivy fell into deep thought and analysed the situation. Yes, if her father is of help then she wont come here. Her father is maintaining a good connection with all people in the court, he won’t be able to turn them on his side, they all seem to be good to her father but some people are pretending. If Simon wants them to be on his side to punish the royals they demand for more benefits and there is a chance that the King thinks they are going to rebel which will in return harm the Dalton family.

“Fine. But I will give you a chance for you to prove to me that you have evidence and also you have to discuss your plans. If what you said and your proofs are correct then only I will give a chance.” Ivy said. She doesn’t want to take chances by striking a deal with Gavon, as she clearly doesn’t have any idea about Gavon.

“Sure. Tomorrow we will meet in the city market, please dress accordingly.” Gavon smiled.

Ivy was mesmerized by his smile but maintained her composure before standing, she wanted to ask why in the market but she kept them to herself as she is the one who asked him to show the proofs “Sure. Tomorrow we will meet again to discuss. It’s nice meeting you, My Lord”

“Pleasure is mine.” Gavon also stood up and guided them out.

On the way back to Mansion Ivy thoughts are revolving around the conversation she had with Gavon. He seems to know about the person behind this and also has strong proofs to make others listen to his words.

Ivy didn’t see him as a devil or monster as people mentioned. He is doing his duty sincerely and protecting King and this Kingdom. His field is dangerous and to protect himself he is keeping some evidences of others and their dirty work.

There is nothing wrong in that, in her life back in the modern world Ivy recruited a hacker to get all the dirty work of her relatives to make them shut. To others she seems to be heartless but to her it is only self defence. In fact she is seeing herself in Gavon.

Ivy wants to discuss a few things with her father as today he went to attend court and she wants to know how the King is going to deal with it. She is eager and also less concerned about this matter as she is already aware of the outcome.

“Miss. We reached” Kily’s voice brings her back from her thoughts. They both went inside.

“Welcome Home Miss”

Ivy was startled by the sudden greeting and looked at the familiar faces. Ivy was surprised by seeing her people from magna here again. She thought they were going to arrive in two days time but they arrived early.

“Oh My God. Lia, Sera, Vail. When did you arrived?” Ivy went inside and inquired about them with a smile and her face was filled with happiness.

Ivy felt like she left them for ages and they are like old buddies to her. She really missed their presence around her. They look after her for so many years and she is truly attached to them. In fact they also grew along with her not to her in particular but they are in her memories.

“We arrived in the morning, Miss. We heard you went out, so thought of surprising you.” Sera said with a smile.

“I truly like this surprise. I really missed you.” Ivy said sincerely. The trio felt happy listening to their Miss words and they were touched.

“We also missed you a lot. Miss. So we started earlier than expected and Cira sent a small gift for you as well. We placed it in your room. She asked us to convey her greetings to you.” Lia babbled.

“Miss, you don’t know how many times Cira reminded us to convey her greetings to you. She thought we were so old like her and forgot.” Vail chuckled.

Ivy also chuckled and joined in the discussion with them, “Ohh. Let me introduce another person to your group.” Ivy turned around and called “Kily, come here.”

Kily came forward and stood there calmly but her hands were sweating a lot and she felt very nervous inside. She was already prepared to work with them but with their sudden appearance she felt a little bit of nervousness.

“This is Kily, my new maid in the city. Kily you are going to work with these people from now on.” Ivy introduced them.

“Hello. Nice to meet you.” Kily greeted them. The trio looked at her without speaking anything which made Kily more nervous.

“Woah, she is beautiful. Hi, My name is Lia.” Lia was the first one to break the ice and others also greeted her and in no time Kily became relaxed.

In the evening, Aivyn went to Simon’s study room to discuss the court session. Ivy knocked on the door before entering the room.

Simon looked up and closed the documents he was reading, he put the documents aside and smiled at Ivy.

“Ivy, come on and sit down.”

Ivy went towards him and sat in front of him and asked “Father, are you busy? Should I help you with anything?”

“No dear, it’s fine. Tell me what brings you here?” Simon said while pouring water for Ivy and passed her.

Ivy took the glass and took a sip before asking “Father, what is the situation?” Ivy came straight to the point as it is good to keep the discussion short and straight.

Simon face hardened and Ivy almost got the understanding of the situation “He pretended that he didn’t know anything about this and inquired about your health. He also asked you to visit him once you are fine.”

Ivy nodded her head and didn’t show any kind of expression on her face. “I already expected this father. Sure, we will pay a visit once our plan is success.”

Simon didn’t say anything, but he inquired “Ivy, you visited Lord Gavon?”

Ivy looked at Simon and nodded her head. She doesn’t want to hide this from her father, she is also aware his father is secretly noticing her movements not because of lack of trust but to protect her.

“Yes father.”

“Why?”

“Father, even King is also trying to protect his children, then we as normal people don’t we protect our family? The one who has to see everyone equally is showing partiality then do we have to keep shut and accept everything he did to us?’

“Or are we going to say it is our fate and compromise?” Ivy sneered.

Simon was taken back by her words, every word she said is like a slap on his face and a wake up call for him. He almost thought of keeping this matter in the dark and move on without any kind of disturbance and punish them when the time is right.

But he is completely wrong, even if the king is trying to protect his family, then what about him? Is his duty just to protect the King and this kingdom? If it is this kingdom, would he protect his family? If he don’t even protect his family then how can he protect this kingdom?

“Ivy.. that..” Simon doesn’t have words to say.

Ivy looked at her father and her heart softened “Father, I am not saying this to make you feel sad. I just want you to look at the true nature of the King. You are loyal and obedient to the throne but please don’t let them step on us. I know it is hard for you to get people on our side so our only option is to seek help from someone who is already bad for them.”

After listening to Ivy Simon also thought the same, he and Bratton always trying hard to not fall into King trap, they are on alert to not let King create disturbance among them. But now the question is why they are doing this? Isn’t it the king’s responsibility to make peace with everyone and make sure they don’t have conflicts?
