10 Business Deal

Ivy promised to take care of this family, she will do it no matter what happens and to make it happen she needs to be stronger and healthier.

"Yes, Cira tell me about dragons? I didn't see one here. Where are they? Do we have a chance to meet one dragon at least?" Ivy asked eagerly.

Cira was surprised by her words. "Miss, what are you talking about? Master is .." Before Cira completed her words someone knocked at the door.

Lia came inside and bowed to Ivy and informed "Miss, It's already lunchtime. Madam is waiting for you. Are you coming or should I bring your food here?"

"Ahh.. It's already lunch time. I lost track of time. I will come and dine with my mother. Let's go" Ivy said happily and stood up.

"Sure miss." and they left the room leaving the book behind on the table.

Ivy had her lunch with her mother and later they both went to take some rest. In the evening she asked Cira to take her for a stroll in the beautiful garden.

Cira took Ivy to the garden and Ivy was mesmerized by its beauty. The garden is beautiful and well maintained.

There are beautiful flowers, a small pond, a fountain and some fruit trees present. Overall the garden is picturesque.

The evening air is cool and the sunset at the horizon adds beauty to the mood.

'Huh.. I never get this air in cities. It is polluted but here it is fresh and clean.' Ivy thought to herself and closed her eyes in content..

She felt a sharp pain in her head and some scenes started flashing in front of her eyes. She saw herself talking with someone happily, then the scene moved and she saw herself getting injured. She saw blood on the floor.

In a blink of an eye, She is in the next scene where she was falling from the sky and suddenly Ivy jolted and opened her eyes.

"Miss, Are you alright?" Cira asked carefully.

Ivy looked at Cira blankly and nodded her head by assuring her she is fine. But Ivy slowly moved towards the bench and sat down.

She didn't understand what just happened to her.

"Cira, will you bring me a cup of warm water?" Ivy asked.

"Sure miss," Cira said and left to bring some water.

'What is happening to me? What are those scenes? Is it a dream?' Ivy is immersed in her own thoughts.

"Ivy" a gentle voice called her name which brought her back from her thoughts.

Ivy looked up and smiled "Father"

Simon placed his cloak on Ivy before sitting down. He took her hands and started rubbing them gently to warm her hands.

"Why are you sitting here alone? Why is there no one around you?" Simon inquired and his eyes filled with worry.

Ivy smiled sweetly and replied "I just came out for fresh air father. I asked Cira to bring some water for me"

"Ohh Ok. You should wear more clothes when you come outside. See the weather is really cool and you will catch cold" Simon nagged, still rubbing her hands to warm her.

Ivy placed her head on his shoulder and said "I am alright, dad."

Simon placed his hand on her shoulder and patted her dearly. Ivy felt like this was all surreal and she felt immense happiness inside of her heart.

"Dad, I want to know about our family business." Ivy requested.

Simon stiffened by her sudden request and looked at her with confusion.

Ivy understood that it was like a huge blow to his father. She doesn't know whether in the past ivy asked this or not.

"I know it is confusing to you. But I just want to know about our family business. It is not like I am going to take our business or something. I am just interested" Ivy asked while looking into her father's eyes.

Simon sighed and said "I am not afraid of handing business to you ivy. It's just that I feel happy that you are really trying to change."

"Sure, I will tell you about our business and our family history slowly. But.." Simon trailed off. Ivy never asks about their family matters and she is always locked herself in the study room or in her room. Due to her situation he never bothered to speak with her about their family matters. It seems the accident totally changed Ivy.

"What is that father?" Ivy inquired.

"I need to see your improvement in health. You have this month of time. If you show me a little bit of improvement then I will tell you about our business" Simon stated.

Ivy chuckled and asked "A business deal dad?"

Simon nodded his head seriously.

"Okay, fine then. In one month my health will improve and you better be ready with all the details father" Ivy declared.

"I am looking forward, my princess," Simon said, taking her hand and kissing it.

"Come on, Let's go inside. Soon dinner will be served" Simon said and stood up.

Ivy also nodded her head and both of them went inside throwing her weird dream into the back of her mind.

Days flew by and in a blink of an eye one month passed. Ivy health improved by leaps and bounds. Ivy followed a strict time table under Ronald's strict eyes.

Due to her soul change or some other things, her body started recovering fast. Ivy felt happy with the outcome.

Simon came and visited ivy two times in the past month. She totally focused on her health and did not inquire about other things.

She is going to ask her father about all the things and satisfy her hunger. During this month period she gained some weight.

"Miss, you look beautiful," Lia complimented Ivy.

Ivy is getting ready to go and have breakfast with her family. Today Simon is also coming home so she puts special interest to make sure that she wins this deal.

Ivy is wearing a pastel green gown and her silver hair is neatly braided in a fishtail. Sera adorned her neck with a simple love-shaped pendant.

"My Lady. You are the most beautiful women in this kingdom" Vail complimented Ivy.

"I know right," Ivy said with a smile.

Her maids initially get shocked whenever she accepts their compliments. Later they got used to it, after they understood that their lady seems to like self praise.
