18 Kreeds and Daltons

During the conversation he spoke a lot with Allora and tried to initiate a talk with Ivy but Ivy didn't speak much and had her food in silence. She wants to eat in peace without any disturbance but who would have thought they would encounter a dummy.

After their breakfast, the trio came outside and they were standing near their carriage to move to their next destination.

"Okay Aunt, don't forget to send an invitation to me and enjoy your shopping. I will accompany you but I have some other work to do." Cay stated.

'Thank God' Ivy sighed in relief.

"It's Okay Cay. I know you have so many duties and soon Ronald will also join you. Please take care of him" Allora said gently.

"Sure aunt. I will. Take care." Cay said by giving a side hug to Allora.

"Bye Ivy. Let's meet another time" Cay said with a wink.

Ivy nearly rolled her eyes but just nodded with a smile.

They boarded the carriage and left the place leaving Cayden behind. Cayden's face changed when they were not in his sight.

Gone with his playful smile and now it is replaced with a cold and blank look.

"Master, We need to move"

Cayden looked at the person and nodded his head.

'Ivy, You forgot me. This time I will make sure you will never forget me' Cayden thought to himself and a small hope started budding in his heart.

Back in the carriage, Allora inquired "Ivy, don't you like Cay?"

Ivy was taken back by her sudden question but replied with a smile "It's not like that mother. I don't like him or hate him. I didn't recall him and this is my first encounter so it's hard to say"

Ivy didn't have any reason to like him or hate him. This is her first meeting with this person and she didn't recall any incidents with him.

Allora thought for sometime and said "Okay dear. You may have forgotten him. You were a small kid when he used to visit us. He is such a cheerful kid and used to play with you every time he came."

"Don't worry, from now on you both will encounter each other and you will get to know eventually"

"Yes, Mother. Don't worry. I won't judge people at first encounter. Although he talks like a dummy, he doesn't seem like that." Ivy said, causing Allora to laugh aloud.

"Maybe you are the only person who said he is a dummy. I guess you really forgotten about him and his family"

"Oh. Who is he, mother? Isn't he a noble?" Ivy inquired.

"What? No Ivy. They are not only nobles but also our family friends. His full name is Cayden Kreed. He is from the Kreed family" Allora explained.

"No mother, I didn't get you. Please explain a bit" Ivy pleaded.

"Okay, I guess this is the time to update you. Listen carefully Ivy. Kreeds belong to the Dragon Controllers Family" Allora stated.

Ivy eyes widened with shock. She never thought that and she didn't have time to gather information about all these families.

"Dragon Controllers." Ivy murmured.

"Yes, not only that. He is the next heir of the Kreed Family" Allora added.

'Oh, did that dummy really Kreed family heir? But wait, then how come he is close with us. We are nobles right. Do nobles and two prominent families are close to each other? Maybe. Yes, that may be the case' Ivy reasoned herself.

"Mother, I have another question." Ivy inquired.

But before Allora replied coachmen announced "Madam, We arrived"

"Okay, come on Ivy. We will talk on the return journey" Allora stated and stepped down.

Meanwhile, Simon reached the Castle Gatehouse on his horse. The castle walls are the strongest thing for miles around. It is built of stones of varying sizes and shapes, each one unique. From a distance it is uniform grey, from up close it is a mosaic of humble rocks. This castle is their pride and they are protecting it with their everything.

Simon entered inside, but guards didn't stop him from entering as he is a daily visitor. Simon left his horse in the stable and went inside to greet the King.

Contrast to the castle walls, the interior of the castle is bright and artistic. Every nook and corner scream wealth. The long hallways have a touch of gold as they are decorated with candle stands to the side and chandeliers on top.

Simon stood in front of the large iron door which was covered with golden plates and colourful stones. Simon took a deep breath before informing the guard to announce his presence.

The doors opened with a creak and the guard announced his presence.

"General of Blue Dragon Army and Head of the Dalton family, Simon Dalton has arrived."

Simon walked straight with his upright posture and stood in the middle of the room. He placed his fist on his heart and bowed slightly before greetings.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the only sun of this Kingdom"

"Rise" a powerful yet authoritative voice echoed in that big hall room.

Simon raised his head and looked at their King Gabriel Drackston. He is sitting on his large throne which is made up of gold and studded with diamonds.

Gabriel Drackston is the King of Krayton Kingdom. He has one son and daughter, and he is fond of playing with people's minds. Due to the peace treaty he didn't bother with wars and he enjoys his free time by playing cupid roles sometimes, villain roles sometimes, as a leader sometimes.

Despite this he is ruling his kingdom effortlessly thanks to the two families who are not falling for their majesty tricks and being friends from ages. They have been the strong pillars to his and this kingdom.

Dragon Controllers (Kreeds) and Dragon Keepers (Daltons).
