Chapter 36 - Can We Talk ?
Aria nodded her head while Helios looked at her and kept laughing despite the glares full of anger that Aria gave him .
Queen Margrethe noticed earlier that Aria was looking at the garden with an expression that clearly showed how much she wanted to touch those roses .
" It's a beautiful day ! How about we enjoy lunch outside in the garden ?! " said the queen .
Helios noticed Aria's enlightenment when she heard it and with a smirk, he followed them too .
When they were finally out at the garden Aria turned back and saw that Helios was behind her .
" Why in the world are you following us ?! " said Aria suspicions of him .
" I was invited too ! " said Helios . The both of them looked at madam Margrethe and she nodded in agreement .
" See ?! Too bad you will have to continue being annoyed . " said Helios in a polite tone .
" I don't know what your job is but I am sure it has something to do with stalking and annoying people ! " said Aria .
" Oh ! You can't even imagine what job I have with that little brain of yours . " said Helios blinking an eye and smiling charming way .
" Don't show me that expression . " said Aria .
" Why ?! Are you charmed ?! " said Helios full of self confidence .
" No ! It makes me lose my appetite ! " said Aria .
Madam Margrethe stayed at the table but she could hear everything and smiled when seeing how childish her grandson was .
Aria then went and sat down leaving Helios expressionless .
"I can't believe this wild tigress isn't affected by my charming smile at all ! Usually, it is called the death weapon by women but it seem like it doesn't work well . " whispered Helios to himself then saw Aria's heart-shaped eyes when she looked at the pastries the waiter was bringing .
" No ! She isn't normal ! " whispered Helios then sat .
" Do you like the pastries Aria ? " asked madam Margrethe .
" Yup ! They're delicious ! They're so soft , so fluffy, so nice looking and they easily melt in the mouth . I love strawberry with caramel with white chocolate the most ! I wish my little brother was here to taste them , he would love them ! " said Aria while eating the other pasty after finishing the first one .
" Slow down or you'll choke ! What a glutton ! " said Helios .
"You're voice ruins the cake's taste so please refrain from talking to me till I finish ! " said Aria then put the spoon with cake on her mouth .
" Hmph ! " sighted Helios in annoyance then continued to eat .
After finishing the dinner madam Margrethe ordered the waiter to come and bring some tea .
" Aria I wanna ask you a question if possible ? "
" Of course madam ! What is it ? "
" I wanna ask why do you hate Helios so much ? "
" I don't like people like him . Annoyingly rude and impolite , full of doubt ! From the first day we meet he was very rude and then on he would keep mentioning that I am a gold digger , scrupulous woman and pretending to be nice ." said Aria then madam Margrethe glared at her grandson with fierce eyes which made him feel a bit troubled .
"He often asked me if I was a spy , why was I approaching him ?! I don't even know you , why would I approach you !!! Plus do you know me , what am I like ?! No , you don't ! I suggest you know the person before you start with your baseless comments ! " said Aria really angry .
Helios was still a bit doubtful about Aria's purpose but at the same time her words made him feel a bit regretful about the way he acted before .
' What a blockhead this stupid grandson of mine is ?! He manages lots of companies with an iron fist , deals with royal duties judging well the good person from the bad , takes care of the disobedient servants and inside spies without mercy . How come he cannot understand such an easy to read girl ? ' though madam Margrethe .
Before she could speak again a messenger came and whispered something to madam Margrethe .
" I have an urgent work to solve and will be back shortly . Please wait for a bit kids and Aria , we will continue this discussion . " said madam Margrethe and then went ahead accompanied by the messenger .
Aria realized that she was alone with Helios and she didn't like that . She got up and decided to go for a walk around the beautiful garden that surrounded the palace . Helios saw that Aria deliberately left him alone .
' The mire she behaves like this the more hard it is to understand her ! ' thought Helios , who was never left alone by a girl . They would stick to him like glue and not go back till he pushed them off . He remained at the table for another two minutes then he went after Aria .
Aria had walked a little but Helios still managed to catch up . He stayed behind her and continued to watch her .
" This garden is beautiful ! Just like the one in the fairytales my mom used to tell me when I was little ! What a peaceful time it was ! " said Aria while looking at the shiny roses in the garden . She leaned closer to take a better look at them . Their beauty was breath taking . The color was intense and the dew of the morning and afternoon made them shine like precious stones .
Helios looked at Aria and thought that it was weird how some flowers could make her smile so warmly . Aria found a bench and then sat . She closed her eyes and decoded to rake some good sun rays .
" What a beautiful day ! With such a warm sun and magnificent garden surrounding me I feel so relaxed ! It would be great if that blonde donkey didn't show up to ruin my mood ! Why do I always bump into him ?! " said Aria while sighting in a sad way .
Helios got angry but still approached her in the end .
" It seems like you're enjoying yourself miss Aria ! " said Helios annoyed.
" Not you again ! I purposely left to get away from why !! Can you please go ?! " said Aria pissed . When she heard his voice and opened her eyes , she noticed that he was blocking the sun rays .
Heliso laughed in a bitter way and then came closer to Aria .
" Can we talk for a bit ? " said Helios .
" If you promise me that once we are done talking you won't disturb me anymore then I will talk with you ! " said Aria .
" Okay , I promise ! " said Helios with half a smile .
' She even dares to say that I am bothering her ! I am a prince and a billionaire ! Why would I waste my time to talk with an unreasonable person like her ! I just want to know why the hell she is here ?! ' thought Helios .
Aria got up and the two of them continued the walk together .
