Aria and Helios were walking together towards the queen's office . They were very quiet and threw a few glances at each other . Aria was thinking whether he was the one who forcibly kissed her while Helios kept thinking about the anger he felt towards Gran when he called Aria a bitch .
' It was normal to be angry since he kidnapped my sister but why was I so furious when he called this little tigress bitch ?! thought Helios then looked at Aria .
' She saved my cousin and my sister so it's normal that I will get angry at then for calling her that . Yeah ! ' thought Helios then showed a relaxed smile .
They turned left and were about to arrive at the queen's office but an unexpected person showed up in front of them .
" There you are ! " said a voice with an angry tone .
It was dark and both Helios and Aria couldn't understand why there were no lights on in this part of the castle .
" Was that.....?! " said Aria a bit scared and hid herself behind Helios's back when she heard that the voice was kinda familiar .
" You weren't scared of armed kidnappers and now you're scared of a normal person ?! " asked Helios with a grin .
" You don't undersatnd , this person is way scarier than those armed kidnappers and that is....." said Aria but couldn't finish because that person spoke again .
" ARIA ! " said the voice and Aria started to tremble .
" Madam , please do wait a little . " said Bekora who came runing towards them .
When he caugh up with the madam he noticed that Helios and Aria were there . The person came near Helios and then he was able to see that it was a middle age woman .
" Mam , you're....." said Helios .
' This boy is so handsome even with the mask ! My daughter is hidding behind him . Do they know each other ?! ' thought madam Kejt with a smile .
" Hello ! My name is Kejt Sarehan . " said madam Kejt when she saw how handsome Helios was , even with the mask .
" Nice meeting you madam ! " said Helios with a polite tone .
" Nice meeting you too . Now , would you mind handing me the girl behind you ?! " said madam Kejt with a polite tone .
" Don't do it ! " whispered Aria at Helios .
' Mom seems to like him . I have to use him as my shield otherwise I'm screwed ! ' thought Aria when she saw her mother's smile , the devil horns and tale from her mother's body .
" But she's right in front of me . " said Helios with a nervous smile .
" She seems to like you , please sir knight ! " whispered Aria .
" Don't dare to think that you can escape using him as your shield ! " said madam Kejt really angry .
' How come she reads my mind so easily ?! ' thought Aria scared .
" Madam Kejt , how about we go to the living room where we were a while ago so that you two will be able to talk peacefully with each other and we can explain the situation clearly . " said Bekora with a polite smile , trying to ease a bit of Aria's mother's anger .
He noticed that Helios was looking at him a bit annoyed since he didn't manage to let them meet tomorrow .
' Easy for you to look at me like that ! ' thought Bekora .
He made sure to accompany Aria's parents to a guest room and told them that they would meet tomorrow with Aria but her mother disagreed . She put Aden on the bed and left her husband at the room to look after Aden while she and Ace went to search for Aria . Before they went out of the room , madam Kejt forced Ace to tell her everything . She knew Ace and Aria well and had noticed that the both of them were keeping a secret behind her back . Ace refused to tell his mother anything since he knew shequite a bad temper when she was angry . Although he knew everything because Aria told him , he still didn't tell his mother all the details . They got Aria involved in an important lawsuit case such as this without questioning her experience which was very unlikely to casualy happen made Ace suspicious about their true motive .
" Okay ! " said madam Kejt and continued to glare at Aria .
Bekora and madam Kejt went ahead while Aria was waiting for Helios to move so that they could go together .
" I'm sorry miss but I have an important thing to do now and I need to go . Don't worry much about your mother , she's just worried about you . She won't punish you hardly . " said Helios with a smile .
" I hope it goes as you say ! " said Aria with a dumbfounded expression .
' Her face right now is so funny . I can't keep the laughter in any longer . ' thought Helios when looking at Aria's face .
While looking at her , a bit of moonlight shined through the windows upon her neck and Helios remained shocked when he saw that she was wearing a gold necklace with a snowflake made with little crystals .
' No way ! This.....this is way too weird of a coincidence . The necklace is the same . It doesn't look that expensive so I doubt the other females that were today at the party will never wear such a necklace . Heh...so it was you , I suspected it was you from your sneakers a little but that wasn't a very detailed evidence...this necklace...it really was you ! ' thought Helios and showed a smirk .
He said his goodbye and was about to pass through Aria . The colar gem on the collar he was wearing shined and Aria remained startled when she saw it . It was the same shape and colour that the one who kissed her had .
' What ?! That's the same gemstone ! Then the bastards who kissed me , is him ! ' thought Aria angrily .
Aria started to think that the dance , his kindness and the fact that he saved her tonight , were just a compensation because he most likely had mistakenly kissed her . She had some doubt at the beginning that a person as handsome as he could dance with her but now everything made sense .
" You bastard ! " said Aria in a very angry tone .
Helios heard it but thought that it wasn't refered to him and went ahead .
" Wait there ! You bastard ! I have something I need to settle with you ! " said Aria in an angry tone and Helios was able to hear her from the end of the corridor where he was .
' She called me bastard ?!...she must have realised something about the kiss . That must be otherwise she wouldn't call me bastard . For the first time her brain is actually working for something that's unrelated to law matters . This is quite shocking ! Still I can't let her catch me now . ' thought Helios with a devilish smile and went away fast then turned at a corner near there .
' Bastard ! When I catch you , I will kick you so hard , that the thing between your legs goes out of function . ' thought Aria with a very angry face .
When Aria run for a bit more a maid appeared before her .
" Miss Aria , Sir Bekora told me that your presence is needed . Especially since your mother has started to lose her patience . " said the maid with a polite smile . Aria looked behind the maid and saw that the road was empty .
Helios managed to escape and order the maid to take Aria to Bekora . From the angry look in her eyes , Helios became sure that she must have realised the person who kissed her was him .
' I better go change and see how her mom will punish her . It will be fun ! ' thought Helios with a grin and then went to get changed .
' Haaa.....That guy got lucky and escaped . I have to deal with my mom now or she will definetly cause a bustle ! ' thought Aria annoyed that he escaped from her claws .
When Aria remembered her mother's anger , she started to tremble . The maid's smile was a bit pressuring to Aria and she followed her to the living room where her mother and Bekora were . It didn't take long for her to arrive there . She was a bit hesitant to opene the door and the maid opened the door then pushed Aria inside . Aria looked around then she noticed that Bekora , Ace , Mana and the blonde donkey were in there too .
' Why the hell is that blonde donkey here ?! Mom will definetly scold me harshly and knowing him , he will start to make fun of it tomorrow . As if I hadn't enough problems over my head , now I have to deal with this blonde donkey too ! ' thought Aria annoyed when she looked at him .
Helios also looked at her and tried to keep himself from laughing .
" You troublemaker ! You wanted to meet me tomorrow huh ! How brave of you ?! " said madam Kejt while looking at Aria with a terrifying expression .
" Mo....mom ! " said Aria scared .
" Oh you remember I am your mother . I thought you had forgotten since you didn't call even once since you came here ! " said madam Kejt in a very angry tone .
" Hello sis ! It's been a while ." said Ace with a fake smile .
" Hello Ace ! " said Aria a bit nervous .
