n
n
nWhile they were trying to save princess Klara , Aria's family had already arrived at the royal palace . Bekora's people were escorting them to a living room near the ballroom . Aden had fallen asleep in the plane after playing with a nanny which Bekora had specialy gotten for him . When going through the garden , they couldn't take their eyes away from the beautiful view of the castle .
n' How come Aria is in a place like this ?! She doesn't have a lot of friends let alone rich friends . I am feeling amazed but worried too . What case did she solve to be able to enter in the royal palace of Denmark ?! I , myself still can't believe I am stepping foot in here ! Since she came here , she is always busy and never called me back which is very unusual . Ace said that he spoke with her and she told him that her phone broke . I know my daughter likes her phone as much as she likes food . For the phone to break ?! When I meet her , I need a good and resonable explenation . If you have caused troubles to yourself again Aria , I will beat you ! ' thought Kejt , Aria's mother with a serious yet angry expression .
n' I can feel mom's anger from behind . Haaa....Aria , at least I hope you have thought of a good excuse ! ' thought Ace a bit worried that her mom would definetly kill Aria .
n' My daughter is quite amazing ! To be able to enter the royal palace of Denmark ?! Those people have paid for our flight , have agreed to pay for Aden's medical expenses....What's the case she's taking care of to have such benefits ?! ' said Karl , Aria's father while looking at the castle .
nThere were ten people in formal costume escorting Aria's family . Three people were in the front , two were on their left side and two others were on their right side , two others were behind them . One of those people was staying in the middle with Aria's family since he was holding Aden who had fallen asleep .
n
" Ace , where are these people taking us ?
" asked Kejt . Those people spoke in danish and Aria's parents didn't know this language .
nAce was the only one who knew how to speak danish , german , italian and english . He didn't like foreing languages but in order to advance his programming skills , he needed to lear them . Because of this Aria taught him all these languanges . She wanted him to learn french too but Ace didn't like it at all cause that language was more related to art than technology and it would be a waste of time for him .
n
" They said that they will take us to a living room near the ballroom . It's the princess's birthday today and Aria has been invited to the party too .
" said Ace .
n
" Your telling me that Aria is attending the princess's birthday ?! Ace , is there something that you two are keeping from me ?!
" said Kejt shocked and glared at Ace .
n' Sis , you're the one that causes trouble so why am I the one who has to be taken in question ! ' thought Ace a bit nervous when seeing his mom's stare full of anger .
n
" We better ask Aria herself when we meet her !
" said Ace a bit nervous .
n
" You two better pray that no trouble has occured or else.....
" said Kejt angry .
n
" Mom , even if some trouble did occur , it's Aria's fault . Why am I involved ?!
" said Ace .
nThe people noticed Ace and his mom talking then asked if there was any problem but Ace told them that it was okay . When they were about to turn over a corner that was ahead they heard a lot of noises that came from the third floor . All of them turned their head over and saw that the noise was coming from the corridor that linked two buildings . That corridor didn't have windows and you could see clearly what was happening inside . They remained shocked when they saw people fighting and a girl who was hanging on the candlelabrum .
n
" What is going on there ?
" asked Ace .
nThe perso who was in charge , among the ten people that were escorting Aria's family , took his working phone .
n
" All , the guards must gather to the back of the main building . Hurry up ! There is a hostage and three other people who need help , so be careful before attacking .
" said the person in charge .
nHe ordered the other people to get Aria's family inside , quickly and then headed towards the scene .
nKejt and Ace looked at the girl who was hanging on the candlelabrum . Her hair was the same as Aria's .
n
" That girl looks like Aria .
" said both of them in a low voice while thinking .
nWhen they saw that the girl who was hanging on the candlelabrum was wearing sneakers , they looked at each other . In a fancy party like that , full of aristocrats no one would dare to wear sneakers .
n
" That girl , really is Aria !
" said both of them in a shocked tone and their face half pale .
n
" What the hell is she doing there ?!
" said Ace angry and shocked .
n
" I knew it ! She really is in trouble ! Ace , immediately tell me what's going on ?!
" said Kejt in a worried and infuriated tone .
n
" Mom , I don't know what's going on either .
" said Ace .
n
" Please , hurry inside ! We need to ensure your protection !
" said one of the people in formal costume .
n
" How can I go back to safety when my daughter is hanging up there in the middle of a bloody fight ?!
" said Kejt worried .
nThe person in formal costume wasn't understanding what madam Kejt wanted and Ace told him that one of the girls in the middle of that mess was his sister .
n
" I understand but we need to make sure that you are safe . Those were sir Bekora's orders .
"
n
" Okay !
" said Ace in a reluctant tone and took his mother's hand .
n
" We need to go inside , now ! They won't go to help her if we stay here . They have orders to protect us and unless we are safe they can't go to help them .
" said Ace , hopping that his mother would come with him . She was too stubborn and was hard to convince her but luckily she agreed and followed Ace .
n
" Damn ! If something happens to you Aria , mom will make sure to give you a good beating for scaring me like this . I will teach you a very ' good 'lesson .
" said Kejt .
nThe two of them followed the person in formal costume and went inside the palace .
nOn the other side , Aria was moving her body back and forth to try and get near the balcony so thta Bekora and Helios could catch her . She moved twice then let ho of the candlelabrum and pushed her body towards them . The moment she was about to lend her other foot , it slipped . Helios went fast and caught Aria before she fell down .
n
" Thank you !
" said Aria with half a smile when she saw that the person who caught her was the one she was dancing with a while ago .
n
" You're welcome ! That was quite brave !
" said Helios with a smile .
nDespite being really angry at her for doing such a reckless thing , he didn't want to get exposed and continued to speak politely .
n
" Bekora ! You're here .
" said Aria when she saw Bekora .
n' How come she recognized him right away and me not ?! ' thought Helios and kept glaring at Bekora .
n
" Aria , that was really dangerous ! How come you were able to recognize me so fast ?
" said Bekora while feeling a bit bothered by Helios's glare .
n
" Oh , Mana told me who you were !
" said Aria with an innocent smile .
n
" We need to save the princess ! See thise men over there , they are all armed . We need a way to get their attention and release the princess . I thought of something .
" said Aria and kept looking at the man who was holding the princess .
n
" Aren't you scared ?
" asked Bekora a bit surprised that she was thinking of a plan in a situation like this .
n
" If I let my fear take my mind then I won't be able to save myself .
" said Aria in a serious tone and Helios smiled .
n
" Good thinking !
" said Helios with a smile and Aria nodded back with a smile .
n
" So what's your plan ?
" asked Bekora who also smiled when he heard Aria .
n
" The only weapons in our hands right now are this long metal stick and this small candelabra with these crystals .
" said Aria and the both of them looked at the small candelabra .
n
" I understand why the stick is a weapon but..the candlelabra . How can that be a weapon ?!
" said Bekora when looking at it . Even Helios wasn't understanding the purpose of it as a weapon .
nAria started to explain to them how they needed to use it . They remained a bit surprised about how Aria was able to think of this .
n' This tigress's the only one who would of creating such a thing ! ' thought Helios .
nBekora received a message from his subordinatives which he had sent to get Aria's family .
n' How could I forget about them ?! Aria's family is here , good . I will tell Aria later , it won't be good if she is distracted now . First we need to finish this mess . She will be really happy to see them . ' thought Bekora .
