Chapter 198 - Professor Benjamin ?! (1/2)
Butler Albert started to slowly open the door in a graceful way . When Aria caught a glimpse of the person inside , standing in front of the queen , she looked at it with a shocked expression . Aria pushed butler Albert lightly and closed the door .
” Miss Aria ?! ” asked butler Albert with a surprised expression .
” Whatever happens , I cannot meet the queen today ! I cannot ! ” said Aria with a serious expression and started to walk away .
When she was walking away Helios grabbed her jacket's collar .
” Where do you think you are going ?! ” said Helios .
” Emmm.....president , I think I heard my brother cry . I will go and check on him . ” said Aria and tried to walk away but Helios pulled her near him .
” I don't have to remind you that the person who ordered you to come here was the queen . You said it yourself that an order of the queen cannot be denied . Since you wanna leave.....that person inside must be someone important . Mind telling me what's wrong ?! ” said Helios with a smirk .
” Can you let go of my collar ?! ” said Aria with an annoyed expression .
” You really are short ! ” said Helios and this started to annoy Aria even more .
” I can't control my bone growth . Please let me go now ! ” said Aria with an annoyed and angry tone .
Helios wanted to know why she didn't want to meet the person inside so he didn't let go of her collar , otherwise she would run away . The butler looked at them confused whether he should open the door or not . A noise came from the door and everyone turned their head towards the door then it suddenly was opened by a maid .
” Come in ! ” said the queen .
” President let me go ! Please don't make me enter in there ! ” said Aria and struggled to get away from Helios .
Helios had some trouble in trying to stop her and pulled her a bit more than needed and Aria's back ended up on Helios's chest . From her back, Aria felt that Helios's chest was really strong .
” He has quite a strong chest... ” mumbled Aria .
” Thank you for the compliment ! ” said Helios with a smirk .
” Wait....did I just say that out loud ?! ” said Aria with a nervous expression .
” Yes ! ” said Helios and nodded his head , trying to keep himself from laughing .
” Let me go now !!!! ” said Aria with a flushed face .
” No , no ! That poor person has come from a faraway place and hopes to meet you . It would be rude if you don't greet him . ” said Helios with a smirk while dragging Aria inside the queen's office .
” Finally , the two of you came ! ” said queen Margrethe with a smile then noticed Helios was holding Aria from her shirt collar .
” Helios ?! ” asked queen Margrethe .
” Greetings , Your Majesty ! You too sir ! ” said Helios with a smile .
” I am trying to keep her from running away . ” said Helios and looked at his grandmother .
The person sitting on the couch smiled a little when he heard Helios .
” That childish side of her.....I wonder when will you grow up miss Aria . ” said the sir with a pressuring smile .
He had black brown hair and green eyes . He looked like a man in his fifties . He was wearing an expensive formal costume and watch . Helios noticed immediately that he was a person of importance , both from his clothes , from his grandmother's behavior and from the person's attitude which was prideful .
' He seems like a powerful person . Why is he here to visit this little tigress ?!.......A professor that comes from another state just to see his student ?!....That's not a normal thing . What's going on here ?! ' thought Helios with a doubtful expression while looking at the person sitting on the couch .
' I could feel his smile even when he was in France...What is he doing here ?!...I really can't stand it when he smiles like that . I feel like being threatened in silence which is nerve-wracking . ' thought Aria with a dejected expression and wanted to break free from Helios's but she realized that it would be useless to run away now that she was already here .
Helios turned Aria with face towards the sir then let go of her shirt's collar . Aria adjusted her shirt then looked at the queen and the guest .
” Your Majesty ! ” said Aria and bowed in a polite way .
