Chapter 67 - Prepare (1/2)

Aria and Mana went to the castle's spa . Aria remained surprised when she saw the spa .

” It's not unusual to have a spa in a royal castle . ” said Mana with a smile looking at Aria's surprised expression .

Mana was used to the immense luxury cause she was born a princess but Aria , she had to work hard to earn all of that . Mana learned a bit of Aria's past from Bekora . She wasn't a very rich girl , nor was she poor , she was a girl from a middle economy family . Despite all the difficulties that she had she never stopped smiling . Mana thought that it was completly understandable for her to be surprised .

” I'm gonna tell you a secret ! ” whispered Mana to Aria .

” This spa has access to the royals and their closest friends only . ” said Mana .

” Really ?! ” said Aria even more surprised .

” Yup ! Let's go ! ” said Mana and took Aria's hand but Aria stepped back .

” I don't think is a good idea that I go enter in there . ” said Aria with a bothered expression .

” Why ? ” asked Mana a bit surprised .

” You're their stylist and close friend but me.....I don't know anyone of the royal family . ” said Aria a bit worried .

' I really pity her naivety ! Even the high rank people don't meet with the queen as often as she does! ' thought Mana with an expressionless face .

” Don't worry , I will get you in . I will tell them that you're my good friend . ” said Mana and Aria looked at her with half a smile .

” Are we ? ” asked Aria .

” Of course we are ! From the moment you saved me , we are best friends . No one has that much courage to save someone in that kind of difficulty . Plus someone she doesn't even know well . ” said Mana with a sweet look in her face .

” Great ! Best friends ! ” said Aria and started to laugh .

” Why are you laughing ? ” said Mana with a smile .

” I don't even know how I manage to always get myself involved with other people's business and I end up bearing unwanted troubles . This is the first time that I get something other than trouble . A best friend who's an outstanding designer . Finally I am experiencing some luck ! ” said Aria and Mana also laughed .

When Aria and Mana entered inside the spa the maids came . They brought them the towels and a pair of swimming clothes . After getting changed they headed towards to the large bath . Aria saw that on the door it was written royals only . The maids were supposed to stop them but they didn't move a bit and let them enter freely .

' There's deffinitly something off about these people ! Mana is a famous designer but still , is she so close to the royal family as to use their resting places freely like this ?! That blonde donkey too , he's definetly not someone easy . Madam Margrethe seemed to hold a lot of authority upon the ministers . When I entered that day in the meeting they looked at me with doubt and disbelief . One word from madam Margrethe made them change attitude completely . They clearly have the aura of powerful people...why are they so close to me ?! It doesn't make sense . What would they gain from someone simple like me ?! ' thought Aria with a doubtful expression .

” Aria , come , the water is very nice . You will feel very relaxed once you get in . ” said Mana and Aria nodded .

' Good things always have a price , I better ask my brother to search a bit of information about them when he comes here . I don't think they are bad people but it better to be careful . I am in no position to cause troubles to myself now , I need to assure Aden's medication and fly back to France to complete my studies . ' thought Aria .

When she entered the warm water she immediately felt the relaxing effect .

” It really feels very relaxing . ” said Aria .

” Told ya ! ” said Mana and the both of them continued to relax while the maids massaged their shoulders .

' I won't have the chance to experience such a treatment again . ' thought Aria and left all the doubts for later .

While Aria and Mana were enjoying the hot large bath and massage , Helios and Bekora were at a resting room near the ball room .

” Bro , I am begging you , spare me ! ” said Bekora desperate .

” Stop blabbing and continue the sewing ! ” said Helios while drinking coffe and looking at the tablet .

Helios ordered the maids to give Bekora a needle , a piece of cloth , scissors and thread . Bekora looked at them and couldn't understand why he asked them to bring those things . Helios told him that they were in short of some ribbons and he had to make them . When Bekora heard Helios he flinched . He was really bad at sewing and could hardly even put the thread in the needle .

” Helios , my hands are hurting . They have been pinched a lot of times , please ! I have to attend Klara's party tonight ! ” said Bekora with his hand full of pinched places where you could even see a bit of blood .

” I told you , we are in short of ribbons and you will take care of that . Use gloves ! Why are you complaining of being hurt ?! Yesterday you received an unforgettable massage and today you're full of energy . Why not waste it on something useful rather than lazing around ?! ” said Helios and continued to drink .
