Chapter 36 - Can We Talk ?

nAria nodded her head while Helios looked at her and kept laughing despite the glares full of anger that Aria gave him .
nQueen Margrethe noticed earlier that Aria was looking at the garden with an expression that clearly showed how much she wanted to touch those roses .
n
" It's a beautiful day ! How about we enjoy lunch outside in the garden ?!
" said the queen .
nHelios noticed Aria's enlightenment when she heard it and with a smirk, he followed them too .
nWhen they were finally out at the garden Aria turned back and saw that Helios was behind her .
n
" Why in the world are you following us ?!
" said Aria suspicions of him .
n
" I was invited too !
" said Helios . The both of them looked at madam Margrethe and she nodded in agreement .
n
" See ?! Too bad you will have to continue being annoyed .
" said Helios in a polite tone .
n
" I don't know what your job is but I am sure it has something to do with stalking and annoying people !
" said Aria .
n
" Oh ! You can't even imagine what job I have with that little brain of yours .
" said Helios blinking an eye and smiling charming way .
n
" Don't show me that expression .
" said Aria .
n
" Why ?! Are you charmed ?!
" said Helios full of self confidence .
n
" No ! It makes me lose my appetite !
" said Aria .
nMadam Margrethe stayed at the table but she could hear everything and smiled when seeing how childish her grandson was .
nAria then went and sat down leaving Helios expressionless .
n
"I can't believe this wild tigress isn't affected by my charming smile at all ! Usually, it is called the death weapon by women but it seem like it doesn't work well .
" whispered Helios to himself then saw Aria's heart-shaped eyes when she looked at the pastries the waiter was bringing .
n
" No ! She isn't normal !
" whispered Helios then sat .
n
" Do you like the pastries Aria ?
" asked madam Margrethe .
n
" Yup ! They're delicious ! They're so soft , so fluffy, so nice looking and they easily melt in the mouth . I love strawberry with caramel with white chocolate the most ! I wish my little brother was here to taste them , he would love them !
" said Aria while eating the other pasty after finishing the first one .
n
" Slow down or you'll choke ! What a glutton !
" said Helios .
n
"You're voice ruins the cake's taste so please refrain from talking to me till I finish !
" said Aria then put the spoon with cake on her mouth .
n
" Hmph !
" sighted Helios in annoyance then continued to eat .
nAfter finishing the dinner madam Margrethe ordered the waiter to come and bring some tea .
n
" Aria I wanna ask you a question if possible ?
"
n
" Of course madam ! What is it ?
"
n
" I wanna ask why do you hate Helios so much ?
"
n
" I don't like people like him . Annoyingly rude and impolite , full of doubt ! From the first day we meet he was very rude and then on he would keep mentioning that I am a gold digger , scrupulous woman and pretending to be nice .
" said Aria then madam Margrethe glared at her grandson with fierce eyes which made him feel a bit troubled .
n
"He often asked me if I was a spy , why was I approaching him ?! I don't even know you , why would I approach you !!! Plus do you know me , what am I like ?! No , you don't ! I suggest you know the person before you start with your baseless comments !
" said Aria really angry .
nHelios was still a bit doubtful about Aria's purpose but at the same time her words made him feel a bit regretful about the way he acted before .
n' What a blockhead this stupid grandson of mine is ?! He manages lots of companies with an iron fist , deals with royal duties judging well the good person from the bad , takes care of the disobedient servants and inside spies without mercy . How come he cannot understand such an easy to read girl ? ' though madam Margrethe .
nBefore she could speak again a messenger came and whispered something to madam Margrethe .
n
" I have an urgent work to solve and will be back shortly . Please wait for a bit kids and Aria , we will continue this discussion .
" said madam Margrethe and then went ahead accompanied by the messenger .
nAria realized that she was alone with Helios and she didn't like that . She got up and decided to go for a walk around the beautiful garden that surrounded the palace . Helios saw that Aria deliberately left him alone .
n' The mire she behaves like this the more hard it is to understand her ! ' thought Helios , who was never left alone by a girl . They would stick to him like glue and not go back till he pushed them off . He remained at the table for another two minutes then he went after Aria .
nAria had walked a little but Helios still managed to catch up . He stayed behind her and continued to watch her .
n
" This garden is beautiful ! Just like the one in the fairytales my mom used to tell me when I was little ! What a peaceful time it was !
" said Aria while looking at the shiny roses in the garden . She leaned closer to take a better look at them . Their beauty was breath taking . The color was intense and the dew of the morning and afternoon made them shine like precious stones .
nHelios looked at Aria and thought that it was weird how some flowers could make her smile so warmly . Aria found a bench and then sat . She closed her eyes and decoded to rake some good sun rays .
n
" What a beautiful day ! With such a warm sun and magnificent garden surrounding me I feel so relaxed ! It would be great if that blonde donkey didn't show up to ruin my mood ! Why do I always bump into him ?!
" said Aria while sighting in a sad way .
nHelios got angry but still approached her in the end .
n
" It seems like you're enjoying yourself miss Aria !
" said Helios annoyed.
n
" Not you again ! I purposely left to get away from why !! Can you please go ?!
" said Aria pissed . When she heard his voice and opened her eyes , she noticed that he was blocking the sun rays .
nHeliso laughed in a bitter way and then came closer to Aria .
n
" Can we talk for a bit ?
" said Helios .
n
" If you promise me that once we are done talking you won't disturb me anymore then I will talk with you !
" said Aria .
n
" Okay , I promise !
" said Helios with half a smile .
n' She even dares to say that I am bothering her ! I am a prince and a billionaire ! Why would I waste my time to talk with an unreasonable person like her ! I just want to know why the hell she is here ?! ' thought Helios .
nAria got up and the two of them continued the walk together .
