Chapter 79 - Mothers anger (1/2)

' If my mom wasn't so hot-tempered I would have caught that bastard already. I wasn't able to know who he was or his name . Now it will be very difficult to see him again . From his outfit, he was clearly someone from the palace . All the men that came had worn a simple classic and expensive formal outfit with little decorations while he and Bekora had worn a more royalty style outfit . ' thought Aria when looking at Bekora who hadn't changed his outfit .

' Wait a minute....Bekora....yes....since he and that person were wearing the same style of clothes then he must definitely know who he is . Bekora is a kind person and he will tell me who he is . What if he asks why I want to know ?! I can't possibly tell him the reason why . I need to bring it up later when we discuss about the minister's case . ' thought Aria .

” Why are you staying there like a block of wood ?! Come here ! ” said madam Kejt in an ordering tone and pointed at the couch where she was sitting .

' I can't tell mom about how I lost my first kiss . Knowing her character she'll call me an idiot for the rest of my life each time she sees me . She may even change my name from Aria to Idiot . ' thought Aria when looking at her mother with an aura full of hate .

Aria went closer and took a seat next to her mother . Madam Kejt glared at Aria and hit her two times in the head .

” Ouc ! Mom ! I need my head to make a living ! What will I do if I become dumb from your beating ?! ” said Aria while rubbing her head where her mom hit her .

Helios laughed a little . Mana and Bekora were left a little surprised when they saw Aria's mom behaving like that .

' After this, I won't complain about my mom being harsh anymore . Aria's mom is indeed very scary . ' thought Bekora when seeing how hard she hit Aria .

” You don't need me to hit you to become dumb , you're already a dumb girl . ” said Aria's mom and hit her again .

” Mom , please stop . It's embarrassing ! ” said Aria when she noticed Mana and Bekora's startled face . She saw Helios and saw him blinking an eye at her while smirking .

' I really hate that guy ! ' thought Aria .

” I was so happy when Ace told me that you found a new and more skilled doctor for Aden . I thought of letting it slide the fact that you didn't bother to give me a call and waited patiently till I came here to meet you but...what I see when I come here ?! A bunch of armed guys and my daughter hanging at the candelabrum ! Luckily you're not hurt otherwise I would have broken your legs ! That way I will make sure that you won't put yourself in danger anymore and at the same time, I can relax too cause I won't need to worry about you anymore . ” said madam Kejt with a scary expression on her face .

” I'm....very....sorry ! ” said Aria with a trembling voice while looking at her mother's expression .

' She looks like she's really thinking about breaking my legs and making me unable to move ! I better be careful with what I say ! ' thought Aria while trembling .

” You better be ! My life is being shortened just because I worry too much about you . ” said madam Kejt and continued to scold Aria about how irresponsible she was .

Helios looked at them and thought that they were a bit funny .

' Aria is like a little tigress but right now.....she trembles like a little squirrel when her mother scolds her . I do agree that her mother is a bit scary though ! Looking at them I can kinda guess where she got her character from . Her mother is like a big fierce tigress while Aria is like a little tigress . ' though Helios while watching Aria's mother who was scolding her furiously .

” Bekora help Aria ! ” whispered Mana a bit worried about Aria .

” I want to help her but her mother.....is scarier than mine . ” whispered Bekora with a nervous smile .

” Well...you're right about that ! ” whispered Mana when watching madam Kejt .

Ace was used to these scenes between his mother and his sister . He didn't actually blame his mother for being so harsh on Aria . She often put herself in dangerous situations without caring about her safety . She mostly thought only about the profits she could get from these situations but at the same time she had an unusual kindness and pity towards the people in danger . When Aria said that she wanted to become a judge and had won a scholarship in France , their mother was very against it . It wasn't forbidden for women to become judges but it was a dangerous position . Madam Kejt worried that Aria wasn't smart enough for this position despite having good grades . Judges involve themselves in politics often . The politics were a battlefield without mercy full of corruption . The most fraudulent one was the winner . For Aria who lacked a lot in this aspect , it wouldn't be easy and she may even end up mixing herself with unnecessary troubles that will hurt her unjustly . Ace thought the same as their mother did . He worried about Aria a lot and that's also one of the main reasons that he started learning about computer programs .

” I am warning you for the last time Aria ! If I see you put yourself in danger again and be so careless , I swear that I will make sure you drop out in your last year of university . ” said Aria's mom, and Aria reluctantly nodded her head .

” I know . ” said Aria with a guilty tone .

Aria could notice clearly the worry , uneasiness, and fear in her mother's eyes even though she was really angry right now .

' I know that mom is worried about me but I can't stop my studies now that I am almost finished . I don't like to make her feel worried about me since she's already worried enough about Aden but I need to do this...I have to succeed ! ' thought Aria determined .

” Knowing your character , you will most likely forget if you aren't punished . ” said madam Kejt .
