Dragon Loves Me - Chapter 97

The poison she created is the outcome of her random experiments. At first, she thought of creating some medicine by following the method mentioned in the book but she mixed the different ingredients as she is not able to differentiate them.

When she experimented on rats it failed with the death of rats. She decided to work on it further and took a portion of it along with her to go and meet Master Shah for guidance but she used it on the dragon. As it is a dragon it has some other effects on her medicine.

Andrea clenched her fist when she saw Ivy’s face. She is in this situation because of the person in front of her and that thought itself made her explode in fury, “What are you doing here? Who permitted you to enter my garden?”

Ivy raised her brows when she heard that this is her garden, she was amazed to see this side of the princess, but she doubted that whether the princess knew about these plants or not?

“Your Highness, I am not aware of this and also no one stopped me from coming here,” Ivy replied as a matter of fact.

“You..” Andrea glanced at the servant behind her and signalled her to leave them alone. The servant bowed and left them alone and the remaining few people in the garden also left the area.

Andrea looked at Ivy with a smug face and said “So what? Don’t you ask first whether to enter or not? Where are your manners?”

“Then I suggest you place someone at the entry to ask. How can anyone know? Isn’t it a palace area? Aren’t King subjects not allowed? Or Dalton’s family members are not allowed?” Ivy didn’t back down seeing her smug face nor by the fact that no one was around. Ivy believed ‘Give Respect and take Respect’ if the princess is not respecting her then she also won’t.

‘So what if you are a princess? You didn’t descend from the sky? Even so, I don’t care.’

“You… What nonsense are you speaking? When did I say that?” Andrea got flustered. She is never good with words nor with the strategies of people.

Ivy smirked and said while approaching the princess slowly “Aren’t you already proved it? You have something against us, Dalton’s.”

“What nonsense are you sprouting?” Andrea is getting a bad feeling about the way the conversation is going.

“What? Already forgot? Oh, yeah maybe you forgot. Let me remember you.” Ivy stopped five feet away and continued “You acknowledged this is your garden and I found some peculiar plants which will be used as medicines and as well as ‘poisons’..”

Ivy stressed the word poison and her face turned dark, she remembered the dragon accident and she heard from Ronald that the dragon was poisoned. Ivy heard the princess feed something to the dragon but at that time she thought the princess got poison from somewhere.

Today she understood that it is prepared by her only but seeing the reaction from the princess it seems like Princess was also not aware of this poison as well and she prepared it out of luck or by accident.

Andrea took a step back while listening to her words and denied “What are you sprouting Ms Aivyn? Are you blaming me, the Princess of Krayton? Do you know the punishment for your behaviour?”

Ivy chuckled and looked at Andrea with an icy gaze “So what? You are a princess, that’s all. Go ahead and punish me. I have evidence to prove you are the culprit not only in that incident but also in my age ceremony. Don’t you give me something to drink? Princess..”

Andrea’s eyes widened but she quickly regained her composure thinking that it might be her plot and replied “I took it from the servant who passed it and how are you sure that I am the one?”

“Because the servant who served is the one who took her life that day, apart from the drink you served I didn’t take any other one,” Ivy explained calmly.

The information is like a huge blow to the princess and her hands are shivering. “But still, you don’t have any proof.”

“Oh, my dear Highness. I have evidence, did you forget the word evidence when I talked to you earlier?” Ivy laughed softly before adding “So princess did you agree?”

“N-No. I didn’t do anything.” Andrea declined and due to her fear, the pressure she is getting from Ivy made her mind go mushy from thoughts.

“So Princess, tell me, how am I going to make you pay for your sins? Should I send you far away from your love?” Ivy asked while her eyes were bored into Andrea’s soul.

Andrea’s body shivered and the word love cleared her mind in an instant “You, yes, because of you I am going to lose my love. You don’t have right to live, I will make you cry for your works”

“I am scared of your highness.” Ivy faked fear and asked, “How are you going to do that?”

“I will make you lose all your loved ones around you. Just wait I will make all your family members wiped out from this world.” Andrea sneered.

Ivy looked at her with an icy gaze and before the princess knew Ivy was holding her neck, her feet were hanging from the ground. Andrea looked at Ivy and her body froze with fear.

Ivy’s gaze turned dark and the aura around turned scarier, Andrea never saw anyone with this kind of aura, she felt weak in her knees. “One word about my family, One mishap for my family, then not only your love but you and your family have to pay with your life. Mark my words.”

With that said Ivy released her grip making the princess fall to the ground. Andrea gasped for air and she looked at Ivy with resentment.

Ivy didn’t look at Princess and turned around to leave but before she left she stopped and said without turning back “Get ready for punishment, Princess.”

With that said Ivy walked away, when she reached the hall she saw Gavon coming towards her. Ivy smile returned seeing Gavon and greeted “Hello, Lord Gavon.”

“Hello, Ms Aivyn. What are you doing here?” Gavon inquired gently.

“I came out for a stroll and my brother went to have a look at palace grounds. What about Lord Gavon?” Ivy responded with a smile.

“Nothing important. If Ms Aivyn is free then I will show you around.” Gavon replied and his eyes are waiting with anticipation.

Ivy thought for a while and said “Then I will trouble you Lord Gavon.”

Gavon eyes twinkled but he suppressed his eagerness and said “No trouble. This way please.”

Aivyn nodded and followed him, they both are walking side by side with a minimum distance. “Lord Gavon, it seems you are quite familiar with the palace.” Ivy started the conversation.

Gavon looked at her and said “Of course. You can say that I grow in the palace.”

Ivy then remembered her discussion with Ronald about Gavon and understood his words. His voice didn’t show any emotion but his eyes are hiding something.

“Then you must have a secret hideout right?” Ivy inquired with excitement.

Gavon chuckled seeing her excited face, “How did you know?”

Ivy smiled before responding “It’s common to have some secret space in this palace. It is huge but it doesn’t have any warmth. These big buildings will remain in history due to their outstanding construction but they don’t have any warmth as a normal house will have.”

“So I can understand your situation, in this big palace if we don’t have people around us at least we should have one secret place where we will find warmth.”

Back in her world also Ivy has a mansion and she used to live with her parents and grandfather. But when they all left her alone then that lost its warmth and she gradually started searching for warmth in that big house. Finally, she found it in the backyard where she used to play with her parents. Whenever she feels sad or demotivated she would go to that place to relieve her mind.

“Yes, you are correct,” Gavon said and he was touched by her thoughtfulness.
