Welcome to Alivea

I didn't know anything about Ivor, his life. Anyways, our marriage was arranged.

At that moment I found out that he was a twin, I felt like a fool. He'd at least told me on our journey a little bit of his life.

" come on In, my wife will give you a tour of our palace , after that we'll talk more at dinner dear sister" Ivan said

" and brother there's so much we need to catch up on what's it been....a year? " Ivan said as we left.

" let's go in " Ivan's wife, Lyla said as we went in .

Lyla seemed nice but I knew she was curious about me. The palace was quite huge but not as huge as Kasaria's.

" so ...you are the famous hybrid " Lyla said.

" I don't even call myself the hybrid let alone famous.... maybe to people, well I guess I am" I said.

" you know.....I wasn't supposed to get married to Ivan. I was in love with Ivor." she said

" wow.... that's too bad , but how can you tell the difference...I mean they're twins" I said.

" you must think Ivor Is in love with you.....Ivor will love only me " Lyla said

" that's nice but I'm not in the middle of your love so I don't care and don't come near my husband he's no longer your lover he has a responsibility now and that's me" I said.

Lyla left me in the middle of the palace out of annoyance. I laughed. She took me on the tour to warn me of my own husband. I had to ask Ivor what went on between them before me. Ivor didn't look her way when we arrived. I came here to train and I must. I went on to look for Ivor

He was at the study with his brother. I knocked and entered.

" where's Lyla and how was the tour sis.....do you like the palace and hope your room is comfortable enough for you?" Ivan asked

"I wouldn't know when Lyla ditched me in the middle of the tour" I said.

The two brothers didn't seem suprised about what I said.

" say something would you?" I said

"well....my wife Lyla has ancient love history with Ivor and Ivor always pushed her away since we were kids he was always telling her that he's ....." Ivor said

" that's enough Ivan" Ivor said.

" let me have a chat with my sister please .....he always told her that he's going to be married to the beautiful princess of Pesteracia ever since we were kids" Ivan said

" did he? " I asked rhetorically

That was a shock. So he.....no.... it had to be made up. After all the stories of Ivan and Lyla it was confirmed that Lyla was the obsessed one. I had to be careful. she could do anything to me.

After our chat . Ivan insisted we had our first training session before dinner . He held my hands. He told me to take three deep breaths. I took them.

" tell me what you feel Aleera" Ivan said.

" I feel heat inside me and my body feels cold" I said.

I've never felt like that before.

" what you feel is my powers " Ivan said.

Yes....it kind of felt like when I conjured Ivor's powers but I feel Ivan's all over my body like it was mine.

" I've just taught you concentration magic. I read that only hybrids could do this , you could take my magic if you concentrate more"

I already felt like I could control my powers fully, but Ivan said that was just the beginning. I wonder what more I could do. My mind only taught me beauty skills as I call it, not fighting skills.

" your luggage just arrived and your maid too" Ivan said.

" thank you for agreeing to training me Ivan " I said.

" it's a great pleasure sis, I'll have your luggage sent to your room....I made a special arrangement for you and Ivor. mother sent me a letter that this trip was like your honey moon " Ivan said.

" you blab too much Ivan prepare another room for me" Ivor said.

" sorry, but we have other guests in the palace you have to stay with your wife and have a heart brother show my sister some Love " Ivan said as he laughed.

Ivor and I went to our room. It was decorated. Queen Beth really wanted a grandchild. She knows her two sons are doomed deep down. One son's wife loves the other son and the other son loves no one. That equals no children.

" you can have the bed....I'll sleep on the floor" Ivor said.

" there's no need the floor is quite uncomfortable , we could just divide the bed with pillows." I said as I started dividing the beds.

He nodded his head as he entered the bathroom to take a shower. I sat on the bed doing nothing. He came out of the bathroom shirtless with a towel on his waist.

He looked so amazing I couldn't stop staring.

" hey... princess go and have a bath dinner will soon be served " Ivor said.

I snapped out.

" ye...yeah ....I mean of course that's where I'm going ... please send for Lisa to get my clothes ready would you?" I said.

" sure " he said.

it was after I'd taken my clothes off in the bathroom I thought of how I'll get out. with a towel? . I just skipped the thought and showered. I was done and I peeped through a small hole in the door. Ivor had left the room.

I happily came out only to see Ivor entering the room.

" sorry I would have left but Lisa is quite busy with your luggage so I brought your dress " Ivor said.

Why would Lisa do this to me . I never imagined this moment would come. I felt so embarrassed.

" you can leave it there" I said.

" okay I would go again but .... Lisa said you might need help with your dress" he said.

Lisa planned all these. she wasn't busy . I just knew it.

" could you please turn around for a moment? " I asked.

" yeah right " he said.

I loosed my towel and got into the dress. I needed help with the corset and the zipper.

" umm....Ivor" I called

He turned to help me with the dress. He zipped it up and tied the corset. Feeling his hands on my body was amazing. it happened again, butterflies in my stomach.

I took some stepps to get my shoes and I almost tripped. Ivor caught me he held my waist. we had a moment again, staring into each other's eyes.

Then somebody knocked.

" your graces, dinner is served King Ivan and queen Lyla awaits you" said a maid.

We snapped out of our moment and I was back on my feet again.

" we better go ...." Ivor said.

" yes " I said as I chuckled.

We linked our arms and made our way to the dining room. we got there and there was a lot of dishes served like it was a feast.

The way Lyla looked at me and held her fork was like she wanted to stab my heart with it. Ivor pulled out a chair for me and sat by me.

" Lyla , you must like my dress with the way you stare at me" I said.

" no I don't, the colour is quite tacky" Lyla said.

The brothers knew what was going on.

" I picked the dress myself and I think the colour suites her well" Ivor said.

I didn't know Ivor picked the dress. or was he just trying to have my back. Either ways it was romantic to me.

The look on Lyla's face satisfied me that I didn't even have much appetite again.

" let's have our meal" Ivan said.

As a toast was being made to Ivor and I, Lyla couldn't stand it . she left the room and she snapped her fingers, her maids followed her like bees.

The brothers didn't seem bothered yet again. Her attitude sure did go a long way. Hope she has nothing in stall for me.
