Blue Dragon Army

"Gavon, What's wrong with you?" Ethan snapped at Gavon while entering the room.

Gavon, who is sitting leisurely in his room and reading a book, was disturbed by Ethan's sudden visit. He looked at Ethan with displeasure.

"What?" Gavon again started to concentrate on the book he was reading.

"I am going to ask you the same. What is your problem? Why didn't you pay a visit to His Majesty?" Ethan roared and slammed the table.

It is already one day they came to Capital City but still Gavon didn't want to inform his return and about the mission. It is fine when they are away from the City but now they are here and his majesty also aware of his return.

If this matter escalates, the situation will become dire and it will leave a bad remark on Gavon, it also shows his disrespect to the throne. There are some old foxes who are waiting for a chance to make Gavon life hell.

Gavon closed the book and looked at Ethan before replying "You don't need to remind me. I know when to visit. Don't take stress. You have been with me for so many years. When will you understand me?"

Ethan was puzzled by his question and said "I am worried because of that reason only. I have been with you for many years and I don't want to put you or Lyo in danger. I don't want our little peace to be crumbled down. That is why I am trying to avoid unnecessary troubles"

Ethan knows about Gavon but he sometimes doesn't understand his thoughts. Although Gavon is prepared for everything he doesn't stop worrying about him. He is like a mother hen who worries about her chicks.

"You are worrying too much. Let's wait for Lyo's return. Later we will go and pay a visit with a surprise gift" Gavon said with a smirk and stood up to leave.

"We got an invitation from Dalton's Family" Ethan's words made Gavon pause in his steps.

"So," Gavon asked without turning back.

"Are we going?" Ethan inquired. He had a hunch that Gavon will not attend that ceremony as he knows what is going to happen on that day.

Gavon turned his head to the side and said "Of Course. We are attending. Prepare a good gift to my not going to be fiancé"

Ethan sighed with dejection and nodded his head. Ethan wants him to be happy and lead a peaceful life with family and children but the latter didn't even think about that.

Meanwhile in the Dalton's mansion the atmosphere is lively and laughter fills the whole mansion making it a warm and lovely home.

"How long has it been since we all had a hearty meal?" Bratton stated.

"Yes, I too miss our old days but now again we are here to create more memories" Simon added.

After having lunch all of them went outside to sit in the garden. The sun is not hot and the weather is cool making the scenery pleasant and comfortable.

The chairs are placed under the Neem tree around a table and a few drinks with light desserts are served.

Soon they started discussing about the various topics. The children who are silently watching their parents chatting happily are also engaged in small talks.

"Ron, when are you planning to join as a General in the Blue Dragon Army?" Cayden inquired.

'So it's Blue Dragon Army' Ivy also thought about the name of their army, when she heard that Kreed's army is known as Red Dragon Army. Now she thought about it for the first time when she saw her father, he was in his uniform only. She did not observe at that time but now she understood.

"After my father made an announcement of me as an heir. But I am requesting my father to give me some time. As you know I am away from the responsibilities for a long time even though I visit a few times but it won't create trust in my fellow soldiers. So I want to prove my worth to them and want to gain trust first " Ronald stated.

He is thinking about this matter for quite some time, he knows they won't accept him easily like Cayden who is training alongside them from his young age and they trust Cayden with their lives.

"That's fine but there is no need for you to gain their trust. They will eventually gain that when the situations come. There is no use in proving your worth as you are the sole heir of Daltons and you will be their next general. They don't have a choice" Cayden said as a matter of fact.

"Yes, they don't. That is why my resolution to prove my worth to them is stronger and made them believe in me not in my background or my position. They all follow my commands, they took an oath to follow us and be there with us in any dire situations. I want them to do all those with their heart, not only with their mouth" Ronald said sincerely and his eyes are glowing with new hope and light.

Ivy and Lysa are truly impressed by Ronald and his thoughts. He has every right to take that army into his hands and command them as he wishes and as Cayden said there is no need for him to prove his worth to them. But his strong will to make them believe in him is truly inspirational.

Cayden smiled and patted his shoulder and said "Good. Stand on these words till last and everyone will follow your lead. Don't leave them even it means to sacrifice your whole life"

Ronald nodded and smiled. His eyes are shining and his heart is pumping with new energy and desire.
