When they were near the gates of the castle , Mana's stomach started to hurt . The guard first got close to the car's window , to make sure that there wasn't any unknown person . When he saw Mana in that state he ordered the guards to open all the doors and to not block their way . The giant gates opened and the driver started to drive even faster . When they arrived at the main castle the servants who noticed that the driver was carrying Mana , hurried to help him . The butler happened to be there too . Before they went to Mana he specified them to call her highness , lady .
'' My Lady !!!! '' said a female servant . Another two servants ca and took Mana to her room . Aria wanted to go along with them but the butler stopped her .
'' Miss Aria , they will take care of her . '' said the butler with one of his arms blocking her way .
'' I want to go with them . '' said Aria .
'' I am afraid you cannot go for now cause your presence is needed sowhere else . '' said the butler .
'' Is Bekora looking for ? '' asked Aria .
'' Yes , but before that.....Servants ! '' said the butler and clapped his hands .
Two maids ca imdiately and grabbed Aria from her arms .
'' You have ten minutes ! Make sure she is ready and bring her to the eting hall . '' said the butler in an ordering tone .
'' What eting hall ? What is going on ? '' asked Aria confused .
'' You will know soon miss Aria . '' said the butler then the maids took Aria away .
The butler left to go to the eting room and inform Bekora that Aria had arrived . The eting hall was like a ballroom full of golden angels decoration . There were also six grey marble columns that went up till they touched the ceiling . In the spaces between the columns , there were small balconies with red curtains and comfy seats . The eting began earlier than scheduled and the queen was caught a little off guard by it . Bekora sat beside the queen and Helios was looking at them from one of those balconies , waiting for the mont his appearance was needed . After so argunts , it was ti for a break .
' Why hasn't Aria co yet ?! It's been over forty minutes already ! ' thought Bekora , looking at his phone .
'' When will Aria co ? '' whispered the queen to Bekora .
'' I don't know grandma but she should be arriving soon . '' whispered Bekora to the queen . When turning his head Bekora noticed that the butler was coming towards his direction .
'' Sir Bekora ! Miss Aria has arrived but was still unchanged . The maids are preparing her now , it won't take long . '' said the butler .
'' What ?! She should have finished that by now . '' said Bekora with a doubt .
' Even a princess wouldn't take so much ti to wash up . ' thought Bekora rembering Helios's sister , princess Klara .
'' It seed that there was a problem with her highness . '' whispered the butler .
'' In what troubles has Klara gotten herself into this ti ?! '' asked Bekora annoyed .
'' This ti it's not about princess Klara but it's about princess Mana . '' whispered the butler .
'' Mana ?!! What's wrong with her ? '' asked Bekora worryingly .
'' Even I myself don't know the details but we will take care of that matter after we finish the eting sir Bekora . '' said the butler while looking at Bekora with determined eyes . In a polite manner, he was implying that the eting ca first since her highness Mana was now in good hands .
'' Okay , thank you for notifying Albert ! '' said Bekora and then the butler went out of the eting hall .
Bekora told the queen that Aria would be with them shortly and she nodded in sign of agreent . Although he was worried about Mana he was unable to leave . The last ti he spoke with her she was in France dealing with so business and now she cos without notifying anybody which was very unusual of her . Bekora was wakened from his deep thoughts by his phone's vibration . He looked at the phone and saw that Ace had sent him a ssage .
** Hello Bekora ! I can't reach Aria on the phone . Is she with you ? If she is , tell her to call back imdiately if she doesn't want to be killed by mom .. Don't force to hack the company's computers again . Reply to e as soon as you read this ssage cause our mom is furious . Thanks in advance . Bye ! **
' Geniuses always have a threatening character ! Haaaa...It was enough that Klara was already such a brat , now this other one appeared ! ' thought Bekora with a helpless face while fearing the work schedule of the company being ruined by Ace .
'' Miss Aria , here is your outfit ! '' said the maid showing Aria a shirt with a black skirt .
'' I would prefer trousers if possible . '' said Aria with half a smile when seeing the maids's determination for her to wear a skirt .
'' Okay then . '' said the maids then gave her black classic trousers and a black jacket with a tie giving her a serious aura .
When they were about to hand her the high heels she stopped them before they could speak and demanded them to give her flat shoes . The maids found it a bit weird but still obeyed and gave her white flat shoes . After she finally had washed off that unpleasant sticky sensation on her skin left by the sweet coffee , she felt better and ready to go to the eting hall . On their way, Aria kept thinking that since her presence was needed then it must have had sothing to do with the file issue that madam Margrethe wanted to discuss with her a while ago .
' When I read that file it said that the estate that was under madam Margrethe's possession needs to be handed over as financial insurance to the minister . Usually, this would make sense when their aim is to take over the queen's power little by little . In the docunts that estate was very important. Soone of a simple background can't possibly afford to have such an estate , especially if it is of national importance ...Co to think of it , madam Margrethe's na on the file was rather long . I didn't look at the nas closely but I rember the word ' Margrethe '. She told that she works in the library but I doubt that soone who holds such a wealthy item can have the need to work as a librarian . Who is madam Margrethe in reality ?! ' thought Aria .
A big door was now in front of Aria and the maids .
'' This is the eting hall , miss Aria . We will open the door now ! '' said one of the maids .
' I am so nervous just by looking at this door let alone participate in the eting inside ! ' thought Aria nervous with a gulp .
When the door opened , Aria saw that there was a rectangular table where five n and two won were sitting . She noticed that madam Margrethe and Bekora were sitting in the front .
' This hall is magnificant ! No matter where I turn my head the beauty in this place doesn't seem to have an end . I don't understand why this beauty makes so nervous . I don't know why but I have a feeling that once I go inside I will never be able to get out of this palace ! ' thought Aria a bit scared.
When she saw madam Margrethe's warm smile , she felt calr .
' Is just being silly . There's no way ! ' thought Aria then she got herself together and took the courage to go inside .
