Chapter 37 - Who Are You Exactly ?!
'' What did you wanna talk about ? '' asked Aria while looking at the roses .
'' How did you meet with madam Margrethe ? Why did you sneak in here ? Why are you here in Denmark ? '' said Helios .
'' You said you will only ask me one question . When did it become three questions ? '' asked Aria . She turned her face towards Helios , looking straight at his eyes .
'' You promised you would answer ! '' said Helios .
'' I will answer only answer one question ! '' said Aria with a determined expression .
'' The three of them ! '' said Helios with a pressuring tone .
' The way his domineering eyes full of authority are looking at me , isn't the kind of look that a simple employer can have . When we were at the library the guards obeyed him and looked me up without hesitating even when they heard Bekora's name . At the company too , the employers felt a bit pressured when they saw him . In the beginning, I thought it was just because he was a manager but now I doubt that he is a simple person . Who is this guy ?! ' thought Aria without looking away from his eyes .
'' Fine , I will answer but only if you answer a question of mine . '' said Aria .
'' Okay ! Ladies first ! '' said Helios with a smirk while wondering what she would ask him .
'' For the first question , if you wanna know then ask madam Margrethe yourself . It's about a private matter of hers so I can't speak freely about it . ''
' I kinda expected this answer since she is trustworthy when it comes to law matters . I will ask grandma later . ' thought Helios .
'' Second , I wanted to take a look at books inside the royal library but since it is off-limits for simple people , I sneaked in there . Those books have a large amount of information . For a book lover person such as myself, only the word library is enough to catch my attention , let alone a royal library . '' said Aria when looking at the roses .
'' You don't usually hear this from girls nowdays . '' said Helios with a smile .
'' Well , I'm kind of a special case . '' said Aria with a smile too .
'' The third question .... let's just say that one of my family members has some health problems and I am here to get him diagnosed by the best doctor I could find . '' said Aria trying to hold herself from crying and smiling in a bitter way .
When hearing this Helios remembered that in her CV it was mentioned that her little brother couldn't speak and it was diagnosed with autism , an incurable psychological disease .
'' Now it's your turn to ask me ! '' said Helios who tried to break that black atmosphere . Aria got herself together then looked at Helios again .
'' Who are you exactly ? '' asked Aria in a doubtful tone .
Helios was caught off guard when he heard Aria's question .
' Finally her brain is starting to work a bit more , she is becoming suspicious of me . ' thought Helios with a smirk on his handsome face .
'' Who do you think I am ? '' said Helios and started to approach Aria .
" I can hear you clearly , no need for you to be so close ! '' said Aria who tried walking away , slowly taking steps behind .
'' I really wonder if you are pretending or are you simply naive . No matter how much I think about it I just can't seem to understand you or your intentions . '' said Helios with his eyes fixed on Aria .
'' I don't get what you mean . '' said Aria confused .
'' Try and figure it out yourself , who I really am . I will give you three days , if you can't find it then I will tell you myself . '' whispered Helios at Aria's ear .
'' Why w..would I think about it ?! I have more important things to take care of . '' said Aria a bit shy . She wasn't used to be near guys so much and it made her a bit uncomfortable . Helios smirked a little after seeing her shy expression .
'' Be careful not to fall in love with me after you learn my identity ! '' said Helios while laughing .
'' Don't worry ! Even if you were the only living male on earth , I would rather live a single life than falling in love with an annoying , narcist, arrogant blonde donkey such as yourself ! '' said Aria then started to walk back .
'' The first rejection I have heard in my life from a girl . People say that rejections are hurtful . Even though it was just a joke It didn't hurt at all . In fact it raised my interest even more ! '' said Helios to himself when seeing Aria going back .
'' That blonde donkey ! Who does he think he is ?! He told me to try and guess his identity . Do I look like I have nothing better to do ?! " said Aria angrily .
She walked a bit more than arrived at the table where they ate dinner . The pastries were still there . Aria sat and started to eat again . The sweetness of the pastries took away her anger towards Helios and a big smile showed up on her face .
" I cannot get angry when tasting such delicious pastries so I shall leave my anger towards that blonde donkey for another day . " said Aria while eating .
' What a food lover ! ' thought Helios who heard what Aria said .
He then went to the table and sat . Even though Aria was annoyed that he came , she stared at him . He found it a bit weird and waited for about ten minutes but Aria was still looking at him .
" Okay ! Since you're staring at me like that you must be up to something ? " said Helios .
" I am trying to study here and figure your identity ! " said Aria while looking at Helios who was hardly holding a laugh .
'' You are too arrogant and self-confident. Are perhaps the son of a wealthy businessman ? '' asked Aria .
'' No . '' answered Helios with a smile .
'' Are you the son of a minister ? ''
'' No . ''
'' Are you a celebrity ? ''
'' Maybe I can be considered a celebrity , but that's not my main profession . '' said Helios smilingly.
'' Did someone leave you a big heritage ? ''
'' Don't I look like someone who makes money on his own to you, huh ?!'' asked Helios a bit angry .
'' Truthfully speaking , you don't look like one . It's hard to earn money when you're an arrogant person . The only good characteristic you have is your face . " said Aria .
" You ?! " said Helios .
Aria started to laugh a little while Helios continued the argument . Madam Margrethe was watching them from afar , accompanied by the butler .
" Don't you think that my grandson is acting like a child when he is with that young lady ? "
" You're right Your Majesty ! I have watched His Highness grow up , he was always serious and more mature than the other children his age . But if I may ask , who is this young lady ? "
" She is a very nice girl . But I cannot be sure until I test her a little . What do you say ? " said the queen and looked at them in a devilish way .
" I totally agree Your Majesty ! " said the butler .
From their expressions with a devilish smile , you could clearly see their tail and devil horns .
