Aria followed the maids who brought her to a luxurious bathroom . Unlike the other rooms in the palace , that room had only modern style inside . There were no golden decorations or marble pillars .
" This is the bathroom of the royal family's guests . " said the maid .
" The bathroom of the royal family's guests ?! " asked Aria a bit surprised that they had even built a bathroom so large for their guests .
" Yes , there are a total of three bathrooms like these in the entire castle . The first one is the royal family's private bathroom , the close family's members or friends bathroom and the guests's bathroom . Each one of these has also a resting place . The couches over there are the resting place . " said the maid .
' What the ?? All this space is used just to build a place where guests bath . Better call this an inner pool . I don't dare imagine how big the other two bathrooms's bath pool are ! ' said Aria shocked while looking at the bath pool in front of her .
" Now we shall help you get bathed . " said the maid and went near Aria .
" That won't be necessary ! " said Aria .
Before Aria could tell the maids that were in to go out , another maid came .
" Miss Aria ! Sir Bekora told me that you must be tired after what happened and your family just came from a long way . Both of you need to rest for tonight so you will be meeting tomorrow . After cleaning up , Sir Bekora asks you to go to him . " said the maid with a polite voice .
" Okay ! " said Aria and then looked at the other maids near her .
" I will bath myself , you may leave . " said Aria with a polite tomne and the maids all left .
Aria looked at the dress and felt really bad that it was ruined . It was indeed a gorgeous dress . She took it of and carefully placed it up the table . After taking her clothes of she went inside the pool bath .
" Pheww.....it's much more relaxing when there's no one around ! " said Aria while enjoying the relaxing feeling the warm water emitted .
' Judging from my mother's temper she must be really pissed now . Bekora sure is thoughtful . I hope that tomorrow she will be less angry though I highly doubt it . ' thought Aria with half a smile .
While Aria continued bathing , Helios was at the underground prison of the royal palace . With his order , the guards had taken those kidnappers there before sending them to the authorities .
" Well , welll , you guys have quite the guts.....Don't you ?! " said Helios with killing eyes .
The kidnappers felt a little scared . Helios turned his gaze towards the man with the brown mask . To his surprise , that man wasn't scared .
" Who are you ?! " asked Helios .
" I am Gran . " said the man with the brown mask , looking straight at his eyes .
" Well then Gran ! If you tell me who's the person who ordered you to kidnapp the princess I might take in consideration to spare you and send you to jail without turning you into a handicapped person . " said Helios with a serious tone .
" Do you think I am afraid of you ?! The forces to rescue me are on the way . They have free entry to the palace and the guards can't even recognize them . They will soon be here and you won't be smiling for long . " said Gran with an evil smile .
When Helios heard him , he laughed leaving Gran startled .
" This mask is useful sometimes . In so many years , no one dared to go against me and now someone actually had the courage to speak up , let alone say that I won't smile for long . " said Helios with a grin and then took off the mask .
When took off the mask everyone's face in the room became half blue from fear . Gran's face became even more blue than the others when he saw him .
" No...no...n..o..wa..way ! You....are....He....Helios ! The black genius prince and the ruthless billionaire . " said Gran while trembling from fear .
' That woman assured me that he wouldn't be here . How come he's here ?! ' thought Gran worried .
" Yes ! Standing right in front of you . " said Helios and ordered one of the guards to get him a metal stick .
" I....I....am really sorry ! " said Gran .
" I thought that the rumors about me were enough to make the others aware of their place and who they shouldn't mess with but it seems like you need to experience the pain yourself . " said Helios and hit his leg .
Gran screamed from the immense pain he felt and you couldn't easily tell that his leg was broken with one blow . The others shut their mouth and distanced a bit from Gran . They feared of angering him and ending up being beaten to death mercilessly .
" I am begging for.....your forgiveness , ...please ! " said Gain with his voice trembling .
" You kidnapped my sister and put your dirty hands on a friend of mine . Now you even dare to beg for forgiveness ?! " said Helios enraged when he remembered how his hands hugged Aria's waist and touched her cheeks .
" I...didn't...know who she was....Plus that bitch approached me first . " said Gran and Helios hit both his arms with full force .
" AHHHHH...! " screamed Gran .
" How dare you ! " said Helios and hit him two other times .
When he saw that he fainted he let go of the metal stick and looked towards the other prisoners .
" I am asking for the last time ! Who planed this ?! " said Helios with a scary atmosphere around him .
" We....we only received orders from a man . We never saw his face ! We were just told the details of the plan and the money we would get . " said one of the prisoners .
Helios looked at his with a piercing look . From the way he was trembling Helios could tell that he wasn't lying .
" Take these people to prison and take the injured ones to the hospital . As for this one . Take him to the hospital after an hour . " said Helios .
' The terror he emits makes you faint from fear . ' thought one of the prisoners who felt quite lucky that he was going to jail and escaping Helios's anger .
After taking care of the prisoners Helios decided to go to his grandma's office where Bekora , Mana and his grandma were waiting for him .
Meanwhile Aria had already bathed . She dried her hair up and wore the cleaned clothes . She wore a loose purple shirt with long sleeves , black pants and the sneakers she wore at the party .
" I am ready ! Now I better go to Bekora and see what he wants . " said Aria and saw herself in the mirror to make sure her hair were alright .
' I made such a fool of myself tonight so I better be more careful ! ' thought Aria .
She looked around and saw the blue jacket the guy who saved her .
' I need to return his jacket to him . ' thought Aria and smiled when she remembered their dance .
Aria took a closer look to the jacket and then noticed a blue gemstone like the night . She recalled back the scene when she was kissed at the resting salon near the ballroom .
' No , it cannot be possible ! The gemstone's color is the same but the shape is different . You have to think carefully before you act Aria or else you'll find yourself entangled with another annoying weirdo ! ' thought Aria and the time at the airport when she saved the old lady and met Helios came to mind .
" I don't have the nerve to deal with another donkey ! " said Aria with a tired expression .
Aria took the jacket with her and went out the bathroom . She looked around to find the maids who helped her before and ask them where Bekora was . While walking she kept thinking about the jacket and didn't look at the road ahead of her then bumped into someone .
" I am really sorry ! I was spacing out and didn't see you . " said Aria .
" You finished cleaning up ?! " asked Helios who had wore the mask again when he went out of the underground prison .
Aria remained surprised when she saw him .
" Sir knight ! What a coincidence ! I was looking for you , here ! " said Aria and handed the jacket to him .
" Thanks a lot for the jacket it helped me cover the torn part . " said Aria with a polite smile .
" You're welcome ! " said Helios with a polite tone too .
" Can I ask if you have seen any maid here ? " said Aria .
" Why ? Do you need something ? " asked Helios while looking at her outfit .
' This little tigress has a good style . ' thought Helios .
" Yeah ! I am supposed to meet with Bekora now but I don't know where he is . " said Aria with a troubled expression .
" I know where he is . I will take you there . " said Helios with a polite tone and Aria thanked him with a cute smile . The two of them headed towards the queen's office . While they were walking Aria tried to take a look at the blue gemstone he had on his neck collar . Still it was a bit dark and the shape was hard to be seen .
' I have to see if that's the same gemstone as that bastard who stole my first kiss . If it's him , even thought he was polite to me I won't spare him . ' thought Aria with an annoyed expression .
