Chapter 78 - Bastard ! (1/2)

Aria and Helios were walking together towards the queen's office . They were very quiet and threw a few glances at each other . Aria was thinking whether he was the one who forcibly kissed her while Helios kept thinking about the anger he felt towards Gran when he called Aria a bitch .

' It was normal to be angry since he kidnapped my sister but why was I so furious when he called this little tigress bitch ?! thought Helios then looked at Aria .

' She saved my cousin and my sister so it's normal that I will get angry at then for calling her that . Yeah ! ' thought Helios then showed a relaxed smile .

They turned left and were about to arrive at the queen's office but an unexpected person showed up in front of them .

” There you are ! ” said a voice with an angry tone .

It was dark and both Helios and Aria couldn't understand why there were no lights on in this part of the castle .

” Was that.....?! ” said Aria a bit scared and hid herself behind Helios's back when she heard that the voice was kinda familiar .

” You weren't scared of armed kidnappers and now you're scared of a normal person ?! ” asked Helios with a grin .

” You don't undersatnd , this person is way scarier than those armed kidnappers and that is.....” said Aria but couldn't finish because that person spoke again .

” ARIA ! ” said the voice and Aria started to tremble .

” Madam , please do wait a little . ” said Bekora who came runing towards them .

When he caugh up with the madam he noticed that Helios and Aria were there . The person came near Helios and then he was able to see that it was a middle age woman .

” Mam , you're.....” said Helios .

' This boy is so handsome even with the mask ! My daughter is hidding behind him . Do they know each other ?! ' thought madam Kejt with a smile .

” Hello ! My name is Kejt Sarehan . ” said madam Kejt when she saw how handsome Helios was , even with the mask .

” Nice meeting you madam ! ” said Helios with a polite tone .

” Nice meeting you too . Now , would you mind handing me the girl behind you ?! ” said madam Kejt with a polite tone .

” Don't do it ! ” whispered Aria at Helios .

' Mom seems to like him . I have to use him as my shield otherwise I'm screwed ! ' thought Aria when she saw her mother's smile , the devil horns and tale from her mother's body .

” But she's right in front of me . ” said Helios with a nervous smile .

” She seems to like you , please sir knight ! ” whispered Aria .

” Don't dare to think that you can escape using him as your shield ! ” said madam Kejt really angry .

' How come she reads my mind so easily ?! ' thought Aria scared .

” Madam Kejt , how about we go to the living room where we were a while ago so that you two will be able to talk peacefully with each other and we can explain the situation clearly . ” said Bekora with a polite smile , trying to ease a bit of Aria's mother's anger .

He noticed that Helios was looking at him a bit annoyed since he didn't manage to let them meet tomorrow .

' Easy for you to look at me like that ! ' thought Bekora .

He made sure to accompany Aria's parents to a guest room and told them that they would meet tomorrow with Aria but her mother disagreed . She put Aden on the bed and left her husband at the room to look after Aden while she and Ace went to search for Aria . Before they went out of the room , madam Kejt forced Ace to tell her everything . She knew Ace and Aria well and had noticed that the both of them were keeping a secret behind her back . Ace refused to tell his mother anything since he knew shequite a bad temper when she was angry . Although he knew everything because Aria told him , he still didn't tell his mother all the details . They got Aria involved in an important lawsuit case such as this without questioning her experience which was very unlikely to casualy happen made Ace suspicious about their true motive .

” Okay ! ” said madam Kejt and continued to glare at Aria .

Bekora and madam Kejt went ahead while Aria was waiting for Helios to move so that they could go together .

” I'm sorry miss but I have an important thing to do now and I need to go . Don't worry much about your mother , she's just worried about you . She won't punish you hardly . ” said Helios with a smile .

” I hope it goes as you say ! ” said Aria with a dumbfounded expression .

' Her face right now is so funny . I can't keep the laughter in any longer . ' thought Helios when looking at Aria's face .

While looking at her , a bit of moonlight shined through the windows upon her neck and Helios remained shocked when he saw that she was wearing a gold necklace with a snowflake made with little crystals .
