Chapter 44 - Take her to the meeting hall (1/2)

When they were near the gates of the castle , Mana's stomach started to hurt . The guard first got close to the car's window , to make sure that there wasn't any unknown person . When he saw Mana in that state he ordered the guards to open all the doors and to not block their way . The giant gates opened and the driver started to drive even faster . When they arrived at the main castle the servants who noticed that the driver was carrying Mana , hurried to help him . The butler happened to be there too . Before they went to Mana he specified them to call her highness , lady .

'' My Lady !!!! '' said a female servant . Another two servants came and took Mana to her room . Aria wanted to go along with them but the butler stopped her .

'' Miss Aria , they will take care of her . '' said the butler with one of his arms blocking her way .

'' I want to go with them . '' said Aria .

'' I am afraid you cannot go for now cause your presence is needed somewhere else . '' said the butler .

'' Is Bekora looking for me ? '' asked Aria .

'' Yes , but before that.....Servants ! '' said the butler and clapped his hands .

Two maids came immediately and grabbed Aria from her arms .

'' You have ten minutes ! Make sure she is ready and bring her to the meeting hall . '' said the butler in an ordering tone .

'' What meeting hall ? What is going on ? '' asked Aria confused .

'' You will know soon miss Aria . '' said the butler then the maids took Aria away .

The butler left to go to the meeting room and inform Bekora that Aria had arrived . The meeting hall was like a ballroom full of golden angels decoration . There were also six grey marble columns that went up till they touched the ceiling . In the spaces between the columns , there were small balconies with red curtains and comfy seats . The meeting began earlier than scheduled and the queen was caught a little off guard by it . Bekora sat beside the queen and Helios was looking at them from one of those balconies , waiting for the moment his appearance was needed . After some arguments , it was time for a break .

' Why hasn't Aria come yet ?! It's been over forty minutes already ! ' thought Bekora , looking at his phone .

'' When will Aria come ? '' whispered the queen to Bekora .

'' I don't know grandma but she should be arriving soon . '' whispered Bekora to the queen . When turning his head Bekora noticed that the butler was coming towards his direction .

'' Sir Bekora ! Miss Aria has arrived but was still unchanged . The maids are preparing her now , it won't take long . '' said the butler .

'' What ?! She should have finished that by now . '' said Bekora with a doubt .

' Even a princess wouldn't take so much time to wash up . ' thought Bekora remembering Helios's sister , princess Klara .

'' It seemed that there was a problem with her highness . '' whispered the butler .

'' In what troubles has Klara gotten herself into this time ?! '' asked Bekora annoyed .
