Chapter 53 - The two shadows in the garden (1/2)

Helios noticed that she was looking at him for a while now .

” Are you mesmerized by my beauty ? ” said Helios with a smirk which made Aria blush a little .

” What....I wasn't.....why would I....No ! ” said Aria nervously and Helios laughed at her slightly blushed face .

” Sure , you can continue to deny it if you want ! ” said Helios calmly and pointed towards his hair .

' The only good thing about this blonde donkey is his appearance ! ' thought Aria a bit annoyed while cleaning the leaves from Helios's hair with force .

” Slowly , you're hurting me ! ” said Helios .

” If you don't like it then take them off yourself . ” said Aria .

” Geez , you're not cute at all shorty ! ” whispered Helios .

While those two were in the garden , Bekora and Mana were waiting for them to return . Mana started to laugh when Bekora told her about what had happened until now between them .

” Bekora it is indeed difficult to believe what you have said ! ” said Mana while laughing .

” Yeah ! She called him blonde donkey more than once ! I can't stop laughing when recalling that day . ” said Bekora and kept laughing with Mana .

” You know Mana , Ramolo even prepared a video when he was attending the law seance with me . He made a video of how Aria solved the case , I suggest you watch it especially the face mr Ben and madam Karen made , full of anger and jealousy . It was the peek of that day's happiness . ” said Bekora .

” Really ?! I am definitely gonna watch it ! ” said Mana with excitement when she heard that madam Karen was like that .

” By the way, it has been a while , they should have come back by now ! ” said Bekora while looking at the door .

” Maybe they are playing somewhere ! Why not go and look for them ? ” said Mana with a naughty smile .

” Yeah ! But...are you sure you're alright ?! ” said Bekora a bit worried about her .

” If I can catch a glimpse of that guy being hated by a girl , it would be the perfect medicine for me since I love gossips . ” said Mana with excitment .

” I know ! Let's go and find them . ” said Bekora and helped Mana get out of the bed .

Before going out of the room Bekora took a warm jacket from Mana's closet and made her wear it . He told her that nights had started to be colder and she had to wear warmer clothes . Mana looked at him with a lovely smile which made Bekora's heart skip a beat .

When they were walking in the corridor , Mana looked outside the window . The night had already come and the temperature had dropped a little . It was dark inside in the garden but thanks to the lights that lighted the palace and pathways outside the castle Mana was able to notice something in the middle of the oak trees .

” Bekora ! Look ! ” said Mana and pointed out in the garden .

” What is it Mana ? ” said Bekora and went near Mana . When Mana pointed at two shadows , Bekora noticed them too .

” Are they thieves ? ” asked Mana .

” What are you talking about ?! The castle's main building is heavily guarded by a lot of bodyguards and guards .

” Do our guards normally sit on the grass during their duty ?! ” said Mana doubtfully .

” No , they are always vigilant . Now that you mention it , it's indeed suspicious . ” said Bekora and tried to push his body a little more forward to get a better vision .

” Don't lean too much forward or your fall ! ” said Mana to Bekora .
