YOU ARE IMPORTANT

Ivan understood that his father does not want to tell the reason here, so he asked, "Should I too come along with you.?"

Viola denied her son and said, "No. You should stay here. Everyone's focus is mainly on you today. If we all just go, it would look utterly suspicious. You stay here and attend the guest. "

Ivan nodded and said, "As you say mother. " And the royal couple left the ballroom, with a slight frown on their face. It wasn't so obvious, yet Elora noticed. She looked at the royal family leaving the hall and something in her said that, something major is on the way.

After the Coronation was done, and Ivan was now left free for a moment, he decided to go and meet Elora before before the celebration offically starts. Because after the celebration starts, the girl whom he officially asks and dances with, will be just assumed this potential bride.

And he doesn't want it to be anyone else except for Elora.

Elora was talking to her mother, and she had her back faced towards him. She didn't see him approaching her, but Ava did. Ava stopped talking and smiled at Ivan slightly bowed. Ivan too smiled back and nodded at her.

Seeing her mother interacting with someone behind her, Elora turned back and she found Ivan standing there. She turned around and bowed to him and said, "Congratulations, King Ivan. "

Ivan bowed back to her which slightly took her by surprise and said, "Thank you so much, Ell.. Lady Davis. I was actually looking forward for you congratulating me on my big day. But as I didn't get that yet, so I came looking for it shamelessly to you."

At first, Elora was very surprised when Ivan changed the way he address her to 'Lady Davis' from 'Elora'. Not that she was complaining, though.

Elora smiled at him and said, "It isn't anything like that." Then looking at the few people who stood there, starring at them with not so good intentions in their eyes, Elora said, "It seemed that you were surrounded with many important and valued personalities, so I thought it would be rude enough to interrupt. "

Ivan frowned and said, "That is not true. You are very important. If anything more important than many here. "

Hearing this, Elora smiled at him and then looked around making sure to make an eye contact with everyone who just few minutes ago were talking crap about her.

She is not going to take the backseat, even if she had to stab their self respect and ego. While, the other ladies actually were in fire by looking at the way Ivan was talking to Elora. There was no women in the ball, who was not worried of Ivan talking to another women, other than them or their daughters. And the fear heightened when they saw them approach Elora by himself and initiate conversation. And especially when she looked so like a slut to them.

"So, King Ivan, Is there something I could help you with?" Elora asked. As politely as Elora was talking to him, she was not liking it a bit. Not that he was disrespectful or anything else. She forever maintained distance from him because of her reasons. And her dislike for him ran so deep in her blood this life, that no matter how gentleman he was, she could never change her mind for him. She could tolerate him but not like him.

And the reason was his deeds.
