Age Ceremony IV

Simon approached Aivyn and placed his hand in front of her "May I have your first dance Aivyn?"

Aivyn smiled and placed her hand in his hand "Sure Father"

Simon took her to the middle of the room and placed his hand over her waist, Ivy placed her hand on his shoulder and another holding his other hand. Soon the music started.

The duo swayed and danced to the music, Ivy didn't show a bit of uneasiness which made Simon astonished "Ivy, don't you feel nervous?"

"For what dad? You are with me, what is there to be nervous about?" Ivy smiled sweetly before twirling and faced Simon.

"Indeed, what is there to be afraid of? Your father is here to protect you" Simon smiled gently.

"Father, I guess it is the Royal Lady doing" Ivy gave a hint to Simon.

Simon's eyes became stiff but he soon composed and said "Are you sure?"

"My instinct, maybe she hated me" Ivy came close to him and both started swaying.

"Why?" Simon asked himself. 'Is it the reason behind His Majesty's gift?'
