n' She had a simple necklace . Since most of the people who come at these occasions wear heavy jewelry it will be easy to detect her . ' thought Helios and was about to go out .The door opened and Juli came .

n

" Helios , my handsome honey !

" said Juli and pushed herself towards him but Helios stopped her .

n

" I waited for you for three minutes and you didn't arrive . Now , I changed my mind ! I don't wanna do it anymore !

" said Helios and was about to leave but Juli grabbed his cloak .

n

" Helios you promised me that you would give me at least a farewell kiss for the sake of old times and end my love for you !

" said Juli a bit agitated .

nHelios turned back and leaned his head bear Juli's ear .

n

" You are pretty and have a great body Juli but I am tired of it . Now I will only give you two options . One leave quietly with that guy outside who's waiting to take a photo of us , two I will kiss you but after the you have to leave the showbiz world forever . Remember I gave you the fame you have now , if you annoy me any further I can easily make the world forget that the actress and model Juli ever existed . Choose !

" said Helios with a devilish smirk .

n

" I....I will take my leave and will never disturb President Helios anymore , you have my word .

" said Juli with a terrified expression .

n

" Good ! Go home now ! Don't let me see you in the ballroom or you can say goodbye to your career tomorrow .

" said Helios and left the room .

nJuli was terrified to death by his expression and words . Helios was know as the King of devils in the business work and he could easily wipe his enemies off . Juli thought that it was better if she went home and never appeared in front of him ever again or she would lose everything she had .

nAria ran towards the ballroom and finally caught a glimpse of Mana . She went near her side . Mana saw that she was almost out of breath .

n

" Why were you running like that ?! I was about to head to the salon room to get you . Did you wear the high heels ?!

" asked Mana .

n

" No ! The maid didn't come and I went came here since the light also went off !

" said Aria .

n

" They went off ?!

" asked Mana surprised .

n

" Yeah !

" said Aria .

nMana noticed Aria's nervous tone and red cheeks .

n

" Aria , did something happened ?

" asked Mana a but suspicious of her expression.

n

" I....I....

" said Aria but was interrupted by the entry music .

n

" Ladies and gentlemen , Queen Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid and Her royal Highness , the star of tonight's ball..Princess Klara !

" said the a man who was most likely a servant of a high rank .

nAria looked at the queen and the princess . The queen was wearing a mask and the princess was also wearing one . She was wearing a pink dress with a white cloak like those princesses in fairytales and a pink tiara while the queen was wearing a dark green formal dress with a red cloak and her crown . Even with the mask on you could easily tell that the princess was a real beauty , she was like a living doll . Perfect in each corner you looked at her .

n' She's really beautiful ! ' thought Aria while looking at her who was standing up to the stairs next to the queen .

nHer hair was like gold and you could easily see that she had a very light make up on her face . The more she looked at the princess the more she couldn't take her eyes of her .

n' I don't know why but the queen gives me a familiar feeling ! I must be nuts to think like that . ' thought Aria to herself .

nWhen Helios saw Bekora he went near him . Helios looked at Klara who was on the up the stairs .

n

" Now you won't be able to escape from me Klara but since I am in a good mood I will let you enjoy your birthday.

" said Helios with a smirk .

n

" Bro , you came ! Did you finish your business ?

" asked Bekora .

n

" Yes , I did ! I also made an interesting discovery .

" said Helios with a naughty smile .

n

" Really ?! You made me curious now !

" said Bekora with a smirk .

n

" I will tell you later !

" said Helios and looked around .

n

" By the way has Mana and that little tigress come ?

" asked Helios .

n

" I didn't see Aria but Mana is already here . Ah...look....there she is ! The one with a red dress !

" said Bekora and pointed towards Mana .

nWhen Helios looked towards Mana he saw that near her was a girl in a white ball gown . Her figure wasn't that perfect but she looked very cute and lovely . The white dress fitted her perfectly . She looked like a pure fairy and beautiful .

n' That girl looks really cute who's she ?! ' thought Helios .

nAria was talking with Mana and accidentally pulled her dress a bit up and Helios was able to notice the black sneakers she was wearing right away .

n' Only one person would wear a ball gown as nice as that with sneakers , it's definitely that little tigress ! I can't believe that she actually looks this pretty ! ' thought Helios when looking at her .

nHelios remember the sweet kiss he had a while ago . The girl who stepped on his foot also seemed to be wearing sneakers judging from the pressure that he felt upon the foot .

n' Can a coincidence like this really happen ?! ' thought Helios doubtfully.

n

" Thank everyone for coming to my birthday party ! Please enjoy yourselves !

" said princess Klara and went down the stairs .

nAfter the introduction finished the queen and the princess went down the stairs and joined the crowd . Aria wanted to go and talk to the queen but now it looked like it wasn't the right time . While she continued to talk with Mana she felt a bit thirsty and went to take a drink .

n

" Mana !

" said Bekora .

n

" Wow , look at you guys ! You've become so handsome !

" said Mana with her cheeks blushing a little.

nBekora noticed this and showed a smirk .

n

" My dear princess ! Your beauty tonight is turning this knight blind and making his heart beat like crazy ! I feel like I won't ever be able to break free from this spell your beauty casted upon me . Will you please give me the honor of dancing with you and ease this young heart of mine ?

" said Bekora with a cool smile .

n' Oh my god ! He is extremely handsome and sweet . ' thought Mana .

n

" Very well ! I shall grant you this honor .

" said Mana and gave Bekora her hand .

n

" This knight will be eternally grateful to you for this chance , my princess !

" said Bekora with a seducing tone .

nBekora softly kissed Mana's hand and both of them started to dance leaving Helios alone .

n

" I will surely be an old man when that idiot Bekora understands how he truly feels about Mana with how much self awarness he has for his feelings .

" said Helios and looked around .

nHe noticed that Aria was drinking a cup of fruit juice while standing in alone near the window . Although she was childish , she had turned into a beautiful young woman tonight . Helios saw that many men were looking towards Aria's direction but she seemed like she was lost in thought .

n' It's a good thing that she doesn't have any awareness about how beautiful she looks . ' thought Helios with a smile but still those men's glances towards her annoyed him to the core .

nHe walked a bit and arrived near Aria .

n

" This beautiful lady in a white dress , may I have the honor to invite you to a dance ?

" said Helios with his seductive look and saw that this came unexpected to Aria .

nShe turned her head left and right then looked at him again .

n

" Are you asking me ?

" asked Aria a bit startled .

n

" Yes ! Is there another girl with such a lovely appearance like a fairy ?! Plus we are acquaintance to each other .

" said Helios with a sweet tone .

n

" Emmm....do we know each other cause...I don't think I have ever seen you before !

" said Aria a bit confused .

n' What ?! To be forgotten once is okay but to be forgotten twice just because of a mask and different clothes ?! It's really frustrating ! ' thought Helios wiith a pensive face .

n

" Even if the lady may not remember me , we can get to know each other from the begining . What do you say , my lady ?

" said Helios with a smile .

n' He is indeed really handsome . It's a pity to turn hm down ! ' thought Aria and extended her hand towards him .

n

" Thank you for accepting my lady .

" said Helios and softly kissed Aria's hand .

n' Hahahahaha....for some reason I feel a bit happy . ' thought Aria with a smile .

nThe two of them went on the dance floor and started to dance . Helios softly put his hand around her waist and pulled her near him . Aria put her hand on his shoulder and they let the rhythm of that nice melody take them away .
