Chapter 69 - Princess Klara
' 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 .
" Helios , my handsome honey ! " said Juli and pushed herself towards him but Helios stopped her .
" 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 .
" 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 .
Helios turned back and leaned his head bear Juli's ear .
" 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 .
" I....I will take my leave and will never disturb President Helios anymore , you have my word . " said Juli with a terrified expression .
" 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 .
Juli 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 .
Aria 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 .
" 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 .
" No ! The maid didn't come and I went came here since the light also went off ! " said Aria .
" They went off ?! " asked Mana surprised .
" Yeah ! " said Aria .
Mana noticed Aria's nervous tone and red cheeks .
" Aria , did something happened ? " asked Mana a but suspicious of her expression.
" I....I...." said Aria but was interrupted by the entry music .
" 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 .
Aria 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 .
' She's really beautiful ! ' thought Aria while looking at her who was standing up to the stairs next to the queen .
Her 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 .
' 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 .
When Helios saw Bekora he went near him . Helios looked at Klara who was on the up the stairs .
" 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 .
" Bro , you came ! Did you finish your business ? " asked Bekora .
" Yes , I did ! I also made an interesting discovery . " said Helios with a naughty smile .
" Really ?! You made me curious now ! " said Bekora with a smirk .
" I will tell you later ! " said Helios and looked around .
" By the way has Mana and that little tigress come ? " asked Helios .
" 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 .
When 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 .
' That girl looks really cute who's she ?! ' thought Helios .
Aria 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 .
' 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 .
Helios 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 .
' Can a coincidence like this really happen ?! ' thought Helios doubtfully.
" Thank everyone for coming to my birthday party ! Please enjoy yourselves ! " said princess Klara and went down the stairs .
After 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 .
" Mana ! " said Bekora .
" Wow , look at you guys ! You've become so handsome ! " said Mana with her cheeks blushing a little.
Bekora noticed this and showed a smirk .
" 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 .
' Oh my god ! He is extremely handsome and sweet . ' thought Mana .
" Very well ! I shall grant you this honor . " said Mana and gave Bekora her hand .
" This knight will be eternally grateful to you for this chance , my princess ! " said Bekora with a seducing tone .
Bekora softly kissed Mana's hand and both of them started to dance leaving Helios alone .
" 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 .
He 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 .
' 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 .
He walked a bit and arrived near Aria .
" 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 .
She turned her head left and right then looked at him again .
" Are you asking me ? " asked Aria a bit startled .
" 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 .
" Emmm....do we know each other cause...I don't think I have ever seen you before ! " said Aria a bit confused .
' 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 .
" 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 .
' He is indeed really handsome . It's a pity to turn hm down ! ' thought Aria and extended her hand towards him .
" Thank you for accepting my lady . " said Helios and softly kissed Aria's hand .
' Hahahahaha....for some reason I feel a bit happy . ' thought Aria with a smile .
The 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 .
