Chapter 115 - Leave (1/2)

” You don't have much luggage with you . So it will be easy to take care of the transport . ” said Bekora .

” Now that you mention it , I only have to pack my clothes and Aden's clothes . ” said Aria a bit relieved that there wasn't much to prepare before leaving .

” But Bekora , is the house alright ?! I mean , does it have tv and other electronic stuff ?! ” asked Aria .

” Of course it does have ! It would be a house if it didn't have electronic gadgets . ” said Bekora with a smile .

” If you say so . ” said Aria a bit doubtful while looking at the photo of the apartment that Bekora had found . It didn't look like a very cheap apartment and the decor inside was rather modern .

' This apartment doesn't look cheap but not luxurious either . It looks comfortable and that's what matters . I need to make sure that Aden feels at ease in this new house . ' thought Aria with a relieved smile .

This matter had bothered her during this whole weekend . Thankfully Bekora was able to find the apartment with not much difficulty . Aria looked at bekora and remembered all the times that he had helped her . Without him , she would have to deal with lots of troublesome matters . She felt like she had to repay his kindness somehow .

' Somehow I will definitely pay him back in the future . Now I will invite him to dinner when I go to the new house and express my gratitude to him....Yes , that's what I'll do ! ' thought Aria with a smile .

” Bekora , thank you so much ! You have helped me countless times and I really feel in debt to you so I would like to invite you to dinner in at the apartment . Once I get my paycheck I will definitely take you to an expensive restaurant . ” said Aria with a smile .

' She's trying to thank me ! Oh well , with all this trouble that I have faced during this time , it would be nice to have a good dinner . ' thought Bekora and then agreed .

” I will be glad to come ! ” said Bekora .

” Perfect ! See ya tonight at 8 pm! I will start work tomorrow so I will be at the new apartment tonight . ” said Aria with a smile .

Bekora's phone started to ring and he waved at Aria then went to answer the phone .

' I have noticed that Bekora's phone rings a lot . He must be very busy . ' thought Aria .

” Aria !! ” said a voice from behind .

Aria turned around and noticed that the person who spoke was Mana .

” Mana ?! Where have you been all this week ? ” asked Aria with a happy expression when she saw her .

” I have been working on the draft for the new session . A true pain in the neck ! I haven't slept well just because I had to prepare it fast . ” said Mana with a tired face .

” It has tired you a bit but think about all the money you'll receive once you finish it ! ” said Aria and both of the laughed .

” Oh right ! I am very sorry about the dress you gave me , it tore up ! I haven't had the chance to meet you , with all the mess with my parents and the minister's case . I even discovered that madam Margrethe was actually the queen of Denmark ! My mind has been a total mess during this period .” said Aria a bit dejected . She still couldn't shake off the memories of sneaking into the royal library territory and the fact that the queen saw her while sneaking in . She even asked for help to enter the library without being noticed by the guards by the queen herself .

' That's the first time in my life that I truly felt like being the biggest idiot in the world ! How can someone ask the help of the queen to sneak into her house ?! If I were a thief , I would probably go towards the prison with my own feet without realizing it . ' thought Aria embarrassed at her own silliness.

” Really ?! That must have been shocking ! ” said Mana with a bit of a nervous face .

” Yeah ! Very shocking ! ” said Aria .

” By the way...I saw Bekora and you were chatting...happily a while ago . Did something fun happen ? ” asked Mana in a weird tone which Aria didn't understand well .

” Yeah ! Bekora has helped me a lot and to express my gratitude I inited him to have dinner at the new apartment I will be going to . ” said Aria with a smile .

” Oh ! So that's it ! ” said Mana a bit relieved .

” Wait , you're leaving ?! ” said Mana surprised .

” Yeah ! I will be leaving for an apartment that's near the medical clinic where my brother will be treated . ” said Aria .

” You don't like the royal palace ?! ” asked Mana .

” Of corse I love it ! I don't have to worry about house chores if I live here , plus the food is delicious but I finished my mission here , now it's time for me to live . I may be a simple person in comparison to the people who live and work here but I would not step low and take advantage of the commodity here . I am not a royal and this is not my home . I don't live here and I don't accept charity for anything . Even the help that Bekora has given me , I will definitely return it in the future .” said Aria with a smile .

” Hey Aria ! What's your opinion about Bekora ? ” asked Mana when she saw Aria's smile the moment she said Bekora's name .

” Bekora ?! He's a very handsome , rich and polite guy . In short a great guy ! He helped me when I needed help the most . I don't have lots of friends . Everything I achieved I had to rely on my own strength since I am not that good in aking others like me . I personally regard Bekora as a dear friend which I wouldn't want to lose for anything in the world . I will pay back his kindness . ” said Aria with a warm smile .

' So...she just considers him as a friend and nothing more . ' thought Mana with a smile and she could tell by Aria's expression that what she felt for Bekora were just respect and precious friendship .

” Hey Mana ! Would you like to join us for dinner ? ” asked Aria with a smile .
