nAria's cheeks were like the cheeks of a newborn . Helios thought that her skin was unusualy soft . Most of the girls's skin was full of cream powder while Aria's skin was different . It was soft and clean without even applying makeup .

n' She must feel unconfortable here on the chair , better move her to the coutch . ' thought Helios and put his hands in Aria's waist .

nAria's eyes opened in bit of a fear the instant she felt someone touching her waist .

n' Oh no ! Someone's touching me ! Is it one of the mens who tried kidnapping Mana ?! No ! A guard is outside and he cannot possibly enter ! Is it one of the guards ?! They are the ones who're protecting you Aria ! Then....Is it a pervert ?! Whoever it is is no good person since he put his hands around my waist . Keep calm Aria and counterattack ! ' thought Aria the instant she woke up .

nShe was half asleep and couldn't see clearly who was the person in front of her , also the light also blocking her sight a little .

n

" You pervert , don't you dare touch me !

" said Aria with a fierce tone .

nIn that moment Aria quickly got the thickest book that was near her and smashed the person's head with it making him fall down .

n

" Heh ! You have found the wrong prey to mess with ! I will be sure to teach you a good lesson !

" said Aria with a proud tone that she had defeated the pervert .

n

" I wasn't sure before but now I am convinced that you're a crazy little tigress !

" said Helios while rubbing his head who was received a good bomb of seven thousand and eight hundred sixty pages book .

n

" Wait , You ?! You're still here ?!

" said Aria startled when she saw Helios .

n' I really shouldn't have tried to move her to the couch . It's my fault for thinking that she may be uncomfortable . ' thought Helios with an annoyed expression .

nWhen Helios got up he sat on the couch . He rubbed his head another time and was about to leave. Aria looked at him rubbing his head and thought that maybe she had hurt him a lot . She went near him when he was about to get up .

n

" Does....does it hurt ?

" asked Aria a bit worried .

n

" Try receiving a book as thick as that....I am not made of stone , of course it hurts !

" said Helios a bit annoyed .

n

" You startled me...I was asleep and.....you suddenly grabbed my waist.....I was scared who it was and acted without thinking . I am sorry !

" said Aria with a guilty tone .

nHelios looked at Aria's face . She indeed was feeling guilty and a bit worried . This expression of hers was really unexpected to Helios . Aria was looking straight at his eyes and lifted her hand up . She wanted to move his forelock a little to see whether he was hurt a lot or not .

n

" What are you doing ?

" asked Helios a bit surprised .

n

" I am checking if you're hurt a lot or not .

" said Aria and started to check then she noticed a scar .

n

" I see a scar here ! I think I have a bandage with me .

" said Aria and searched for the bandage in her pocket .

n' This crazy little tigress.....she must be feeling really guilty judging by her worried expression . ' thought Helios with a smile .

n

" I am pretty sure it will leave a scar . Thanks to you I will become ugly ! My handsome face that was preserved so well was actually damaged by a crazy little tigress like you .

" said Helios with a half annoyed tone .

n' Only girls are afraid of scars . Ah yes...I forgot that he is a narcissist . ' thought Aria with a helpless expression .

n

" You're making such a scene over a small scar like this . Plus , who said you became ugly ?! You look just like Harry Potter with this scar . Pretty cool if you ask me !

" said Aria with a smile and then got up .

n

" Hahahaha ! I guess you're the only one who will think like that nowdays .

" said Helios with a laugh .

n

" Maybe !

" said Aria with a thinking hard expression .

n

" Although it was a bad experience for me I must say that you're srength , is a very efficent quality . I really don't understand how can you be strong with this tiny body of yours .

" said Helios while looking at Aria from head to toe .

n

" By the way , you fell asleep so you must be tired . How about you continue tomorrow ?! You will feel more refreshed after some sleep .

" said Helios and then he also got up .

n

" No thanks ! I will only sleep for three hours and then I will go back to work . I need to finish this case fast .

" said Aria .

n

" You need some rest ! If you continue , you may miss some clues or faint again ! It's better for all if you go and rest .

" said Helios with a serious tone . When she heard that he knew about her collapsing she thought that maybe Bekora had told him .

n

" Thank but I don't care what's best for all , I only care what's best for me ! And I don't have time .

" said Aria with a determinded tone .

n

" You will only cause trouble !

" said Helios .

n

" No I won't ! Last time I fainted because....let it be . True I fainted but I did not faint because I overworked . At the university I would send days on the library trying to figure solutions and mistakes so I am used to this way of solving things .

" said Aria and returned to her desk .

n

" Fine then , do as you like !

" said Helios annoyed and went out .

n

" That person was fine and now he's angry , haaaa.....He must have a mood disorder disease .

" said Aria a bit surprised then continued with her work .

nWhen the guard who was in charge of guarding Aria saw that Heios went out of the library , he bowed and returned to his position . Helios walked through the garden and went straight to his room . On his way he kept thinking about how Aria must have lived during her university years . She had to study hard to be on first place and become who she is today .

n' She even tells me she's used to this way of studying ! I don't know why I feel impressed but at the same time angry . It's none of my business so it's not worth thinking about it . ' thought Helios and changed his clothes .

nHe wore his terry night suit and went to bed covering himself with the finest silk blanket . Helios's bed was so big that a whole football team could sleep in there . After having a busy day full of work he was dead tired and fell asleep fast .

nThe next morning , after a good night of sleep , Helios , Mana , Bekora and madam Margrethe were eating breakfast together . Mana looked around and waited for Aria for ten minutes but she didn't show up .

n

" Granny , Aria is still working at the library . Can I please go to her ?

" said Mana with a cute sight .

n

" No Mana ! Aria has been working hard all day yesterday and now too . She specialy asked me to not allow anyone to disturb her .

" said madam Margrethe .

n

" That's not fair ! How come Helios , who annoyes her the most , gets to meet her but I not ?!

" said Mana in an annoyed tone while glaring at Helios who remained defiant .

n

" What ?! Helios when have you visited Aria yesterday ?! I am pretty sure I told you to not step into the library !

" said madam Margrethe angry .

n

" Grandma , I needed a book for an information regarding infrastructure for the new project our company is dealing with .

" said Helios with a calm tone .

n' Yeah , continue to act indifferent ! ' thought Mana annoyed at his calm expression .

n

" I'm warning all of you , don't you dare disturb her or I will make sure that you stay in home arrest for the next three years of your lives .

" said madam Margrethe in a threatening tone which made the three of them tremble and nod in sign of agreement .

n

" No matter how scary you are Helios you can't beat grandma

" whispered Bekora .

n

" How do you expect me to be scarier than the person whom I inherited the capacity of being a frightening demon ?!

" whispered Helios .

n

" You do have a point !

" said Bekora in a low voice .

n

" You all better concentrate on the serious stuff !

" said madam Margrethe with a serious expression.

n

" What are you talking about grandma ?

" asked Bekora .

n

" Mana's parents and Helios's parents will be in the party tomorrow . We need to be careful of Mana's stepmother's next move , Karen isn't an easy opponent to deal with . You guys better be cautious ! Especially you Helios !

" said madam Margrethe with serious esmerald eyes staring at her grandson .

n

" I know !

" said Helios and a tension atmosphere filled the eating room . A tensed atmosphere which continued to accompany them till they finished eating .

nAfter eating they decided to take a walk in the garden . Mana was the one who dragged them out cause she thought that the best way to get rid of bad feelings was a walk in the green nature filled with flowers . When they walked for a bit more they noticed that Aria had come out of the library and was sitting on a bench looking at the sky .As soon as Mana saw her she called out to her and walked near her . Helios and Bekora followed Mana , so did madam Margrethe .

n

" Aria ! Finally , you're out of the library !

" said Mana a bit happy .

n

" Hello Mana , Bekora , madam Margrethe !...mr weirdo !

" said Aria . The only one she called diferently was Helios .

n' Mr weirdo ?! ' thought Helios a bit surprised .

n

" Have you finished the search ?

" asked madam Margrethe in a polite manner .

n

" I'm almost finished ! Now I was just taking a break out here . The morning sunlight is the best !

" said Aria with a smile .

n

" Good to hear that you have been working hard , oh but don't forget about the party . You better take some rest since the party is tomorrow and you need to get ready !

" said madam Margrethe with a smile .

n

" Aria will also come ! Great , we will choose your dress together . We have to hurry though cause we have to try fifty dresses .

" said Mana in a thinking mode .

n

" Fifty ?!

" said Aria shocked .

n

" Yes ! There are also the shoes and bags to try on , about sixty of them . Jewels too ! We gota try the latest collection with forty different pieces !

" said Mana excited .

n

" Pardon ?!

" said Aria who was freaked out by Mana's suggestion of trying so many dresses and shoes , bags and jewels .
