" Mom a nurse will come and help you to get ready and take you to Aden . I'll go first , see ya !

" said Ace and hurried out of the room without giving any time to madam Kejt to speak .

n

" Ace..! That child !

" said madam Kejt but it was no use calling him since he went away fast . The door knocked and the nurse entered .

n

" Hello , madam Kejt ! I'm the nurse in charge to take care of you . Your blood analysis are okay . I have asked a maid to come and take you to the room where you're staying and she will also make sure to serve the breakfast to you .

" said the nurse and helped madam Kejt get down the bed .

n

" Thank you !

" said madam Kejt .

nWhen she went outside a maid was waiting gor her , just like the nurse told her .

n

" Madam Kejt , this way please !

" said the maid in a polite tone .

n' What has my daughter done to recieve such a nice treatment ! She will tell me in no time , I know she can't stay long without informing me and telling me . This time she had done something reckless that's why she hadn't told me anything about how she came here....still to jump over the wall....you're funny as always my dear daughter . Luckily that the queen was a good person and didn't punish her when seeing her trespass in the royal territory . ' thought madam Kejt relieved and followed the maid .

nAce walked fast and went at the office where they were yesterday night . He tried opening the door and saw that the door was locked .

n

" Where can I find him now ?!

" said Ace a bit troubled .

nHe took his phone out and called Bekora .

nBekora and Helios just finished having breakfast and were heading towards Helios's office .

n

" Why are you going in your office ?! Aren't you supposed to help grandma with the discussion of the minister of finance's investigation ?!

" asked Bekora a bit surprised .

n

" Grandma can perfectly handle this issue herself . I will go and help her later if she needs me . Now I gotta go , give an order to investigate yesterday's event and talk with that little tigress's brother .

" said Helios with a tired tone .

n

" What will you talk with him ? Oh...he must think that you're deliberately following her and causing trouble for Aria . He is right .

" said Bekora when looking at his troubled face .

n

" I am not causing her trouble or following her .

" said Helios with a serious tone .

n

" Yes , yes you aren't .

" said Bekora with a smirk .

nHis phone started to ring and he saw that it was Ace .

n

" Right on time !

" said Bekora and showed Helios his phone .

n

" Haaaa...spare me your blabbing and ask someone to bring him here .

" said Helios and opened the door to enter his office .

n

" Hello Ace !

" said Bekora .

n

" Hello Bekora ! Where are you ? Can you please tell me where Helios is ?

" said Ace .

n

" He's in an office here . He helped in the assult against the princess and the queen asked for his cooperation in fineing out who attempted to do this .

" said Bekora .

n' So that's why he was at the office with the queen yesterday . ' thought Ace .

n

" He told me that you two would meet today . I will ask a maid to come and bring you here . Where are you now ?

" said Bekora .

n

" I am at the office where we were yesterday .

" said Ace .

n

" Okay wait there !

" said Bekora .

n

" Okay !

" said Ace and they closed the call .

nAce waited at the office just like Bekora told him till a maid came .

n

" Mr Ace , I am send here on Sir Bekora's order to take you to him .

" said the maid and Ace nodded .

nAce and maid went towards Helios's office . The maid knocked on the door and announced that Ace was about to enter . The door opened and Ace swe that Bekora and Helios were both inside the room looking at some files .

n

" Hey Ace !

" said Bekora .

n

" Hello Bekora !

" said Ace with a smile and looked at Helios .

nHis smile immediately vanished when he saw him . Bekora noticed this and started to laugh a little . Helios glared at him and he stopped .

n

" Sit !

" said Helios and pointed at the couch in front of him . Ace did as he told him .

n

" I....

" said Ace but Helios interrupted him before he could say the sentence till the end .

n

" I am well aware that you want to know why your sister keeps hanging around me .

" said Helios .

n

" I want to know why you keep hanging around her . I know my sister very well . Although she likes handsome boys , she will never approach them if they irritate her . From my talk with my sister I can easily tell that she hates you and finds you irritating . No offense !

" said Ace with a cool face .

n' This brat.....is he telling me that I am irritating ?! I must be nuts to not teach him and his sister a good lesson . ' thought Helios a bit angry .

nHe had a nice time playing a bit with her and now he wanted to tell her who he was so that he could give Aria a good lesson but now it was his grandma who forbid him from revealing himself .

n

" Your sister is also irritating and a clumsy girl .

" said Helios a bit angry .

n

" She's not irritating but I do agree with the clumsy part .

" said Ace with a calm expression .

n

" Anyway , I wanna know the reason why ?! As I said before I find it very hard to believe that you would recruit her over thousands of talented people that you can easily find from top universities.

" said Ace with a doubtful look in his eyes .

n

" Yeah , I never run out of resources but .....I remember mentioning to you that I need a trustworthy person who knows law matters , to help me with my future plans . And she is that person .

" said Helios with a smirk .

n

" What...?!

" said Ace who still wasn't understanding what Helios meant .

nBekora remained surprised when he heard what Helios said . He knew perfectly well what he was talking about and couldn't believe what he heard .

n

" Helios , are you serious ?! Are you really gonna...?

" said Bekora with a surprised and happy tone .

n

" Yes I am ! I don't fully trust her but I think that it would be nice to give it a try and see how it turns out .

" said Helios with a smirk and Bekora also showed a smirk .

n

" Can any of you tell me what's are you guys talking about ?

" asked Ace .

n

" Sure !

" said Bekora .

nHelooked at Helios and when he nodded in sign of agreement , Bekora started to tell Ace what was hoing on and what was Helios's plan gor Aria .

nWhile the three boys were discussing about this matter , Aria was still in her room . Mana had woken up and eaten breakfast . She found it weird that she wasn't seeing Aria around and decided to go to her room . She wanted to see whether Aria was in there still asleep or not . Mana walked for a bit till she arrived at Aria's room . When she arrived , she opened the door and saw that Aria was laying on the bed .

n

" Is she still sleeping ?

" asked Mana in a quiet voice and went near her to confirm whether she was sleeping or not .

n

" Ahhhhhhhhhh !

" screamed Mana scared when she saw Aria's face .

nAria was awake but with a dark expression and heavy black bags under her eyes . She clearly wasn't able to sleep well tonight .

n

" Aria , is....is...is that you ?!

" said Mana still scared .

n

" Mana , good morning !

" said Aria with a sad tone .

n

" Morning !

" said Mana and slowly started to approach her .

n

" You look like a zombie right now ! You must have been awake all night . Did anything happen after you left the office yesterday night ?!

" said Mana worried about Aria .

n

" My brother came here and we talked for a bit , I must have fallen asleep when we were talking . I saw a terrible dream yesterday and woke up at 1am of the night then I couldn't go back to sleep anymore .

" said Aria a bit sad .

n

" What was the terrible dream about ?

" asked Mana .

n

" I was wearing a beautiful dress and entered in a salon nearby the ballroom . The light suddenly turned off and a stranger came . He grabbed me forcefully and pulled me near him...then...he..... said Aria hiding her head between her arms .

n

" He ?!

" asked Mana .

n

" He kissed me forcibly . He was wearing a mask and dark blue costume with a blue diamond in a rectangular form . The lights turned on and I saw that he was good looking . I felt a bit happy about that but when he took of the mask he was so ugly just like a frog.

" said Aria with a sad expression .

n' Why does this dream sound like something heard...and that description fits with what Helios was wearing !...Don't tell me he actually....?! ' thought Mana woth a surprised and thrilled expression while looking at Aria .
