nAfter finishing her phone call she saw that all the people behind her ,except Helios , were laughing really hard .

n' Recently , I often see people laugh hard . Sometimes I have the feeling they are laughing at me but I don't recall saying any joke or do anything out of the ordinary ?! Is it just my impression ??? ' thought Aria in a doubtful way while looking at the others .

nWhen they stopped laughing Aria asked them what was so funny but they avoided the question by saying that it was nothing big .

nThey stayed in the garden for another half an hour then decided to go inside .

n

" Bekora ! Where will I stay tonight ?

" asked Aria .

nBefore Bekora could speak madam Margrethe interrupted .

n

" Why don't you stay here ? We hot a bit distracted today and I wasn't able to properly discuss the case of those mens with you . If you could stay and tell me more about it , I would be grateful .

" said madam Margrethe in a polite tone , where her determination to make Aria stay for the night could clearly be felt .

n

" Don't worry madam ! I said I would help and I never go against my word . Also thank you for your kindness but I really can't stay . My brother said that this is the main building where the royal family lives . I sneaked in her without their permission . If they discovered it , I would probably be in trouble .

" said Aria with a warm smile .

n

" You don't need to feel bad about it . The royal family's people are very nice , they would overlook something as small as this . Believe me , I have worked here for a long time .

" said madam Margrethe in a sweet tone .

nAria looked around for a bit . The chance of spending the night in a magnificent palace where the royal family stayed was not a possibility that would be offered to her again in this lifetime . Although the beauty of that palace was breathtaking , she had a feeling that it wasn't the right decision to make . Aria shake her head in sign of refusal and the queen remained very surprised by her denial .

n

" Why ?

" asked the madam Margrethe .

n

" Thank you again for the offer but I will pass . This castle is gorgeous but I really cannot afford to get myself in trouble this time . I came here to Denmark with only one purpose in mind and that is my brother . I know I will never get a chance like this again but my family always comes first for me , even my happiness doesn't matter to me more than my family .

" said Aria with a warm and carefree smile .

nMadam Margrethe was caught off guard with this answer and then didn't insist any longer .

n

" When I finish my work , I will come to the library to explain the case to you madam Margrethe .

" said Aria to madam Margrethe then turned at Bekora .

n

" Can you please take me to a hotel nearby Bekora ?

" asked Aria with a polite tone and innocent face .

n

" Sure !

" said Bekora .

nAria noticed that Helios was looking at her . When their eyes met she quickly turned her head away .

n' I really wonder who he is ?! ....I don't know why but I have a feeling I already have gotten myself in trouble each time I see his face . ' thought Aria and sighted in annoyance .

nAfter saying goodnight the both of them left .

n

" Now that that airhead is gone I will go to my room too . Goodnight grandma , butler !

" said Helios .

n

" Good night Helios !

" said queen Margrethe .

n

" Goodnight Your Highness !

" said the butler then Helios left too .

n

" That girls is really a nice one ! She doesn't allow her the greed to cover her eyes and keeps a straight and settled mind about what is really important .

" said the queen .

n

" Your Majesty if you allow me ,I would like to give you an idea about how to verify if her meeting with the prince or you is just a coincidence .

" said the butler .

n

" Say it .

" said the queen .

n

" How about inviting her to attend princess Klara's birthday party ?! Nobody can hide their true character under a heavy atmosphere where all the high class society gathers . She will experience different situations in the party and I am sure it will reveal her true colors . I personally think she is an innocent and good girl . Her lack of knowledge is just a simply missing detail as a result of her disinterest in the world of the riches. That's what I have concluded from her behavior till now but since the other part is the royal family then being a bit more cautious is more than normal .

" said the butler in a serious and respectful tone .

n

" I also share the same opinion with you . Your idea isn't bad either ! I agree ! Let's make sure she is just a nice 'coincidence ' .

" said the queen with a smirk .

nAlthough she though that Aria was a good girl , she still needed to assure herself . Being a royal meant being always skeptical otherwise the trust put in the wrong person could cause irreparable troubles to them and their monarchy .

nWhile the queen was heading towards her chamber Helios had already arrived in his room . He took a shower then decided to read some statistics that were on his desk . Even though he was looking at the statistics , he couldn't get Aria's words out of his head .

n

" I really can't understand how she thinks . Someone with a brain wouldn't let a possibility like this slip by without taking advantage of it . I know she is trustworthy and hardworking but I am still not convinced . How come as a person she isn't greedy at all ?! Does she really not know who we are or is she just waiting for the right time to expose her intentions . Sometimes I have the feeling she is innocent yet the memories of the past experiences make me very doubtful of her . Why ?!

" said Helios looking at the moon from the window .

n' How come she is so hard to understand ?! ' thought Helios while looking at the moon with the papers in his hands .
