65: Passed the two tests

Passed the two tests

" Have you guys had enough of laughing ? " said Aria annoyed that those two were continuing to laugh as if they were watching a comedy show .1

" Sorry , Aria but you really look....funny . " said Bekora .

" I didn't have much of a choice when it came to the clothes . The moment they gave me a light dress like this , I wore it and escaped . " said Aria .

" Why were you escaping ? Wasn't the brand ' Rose Sauvage ' to your liking ?! " said Helios with a laugh .

" That is my favorite brand and I like it a lot but not enough as to try a hundred ball dresses in a row . " said Aria tired .

" What a hundred , you have already tried a hundred dresses ?! " said Bekora shocked .

" The one I am wearing now is number a hundred and I had another fifty dresses to try . I couldn't do it anymore that's why I escaped . " said Aria tired to the core .

" To be able to try a hundred dresses in a row . You're tough Aria . " said Bekora surprised that someone was actually able to endure Mana's temperament .

' So Mana choose this test for her huh ?! Quite intriguing and stylish , just like Mana . Bekora has already accepted her the moment she resolved the case and helped him with his unfinished work . She has endurance and skillfulness . Now the only test remained is trust . You may have won those two over but with me you won't have it easy little tigress . ' thought Helios with a grin . He did thought like this but at the same time , he was a bit happy that Aria had passed the first two test successfully .

Since the three of them had a very important mission to complete , they needed to chose their allies carefully . One wrong move could ruin the work of an entire life . Helios had suffered the taste of loss once but luckily the mistake was repaired in time and things didn't crumble . A little damage was done but nothing more than that . It didn't cost much money to fix it but the wound that Helios received remained in his scar as a reminder that apart from the loved ones , no one else in the world could be trusted .

" Bekora can you please take a look at the door and see if Mana is in the corridor ? " asked Aria .

" Sure ! " said Bekora when seeing Aria's expression .

The moment Bekora opened the door , the guards immediately grabbed him by his arms .

" Caught you ! " said Mana with a smile but when she saw Bekora her smile froze .

" What are you doing ? " asked Bekora .

" I am searching for Aria . We still have some things left to chose .

" You forced the poor girl to wear a hundred ball dresses in a row . Give her a break ! " said Bekora and the guards released him .

" Where's Aria ? " asked Mana a bit annoyed at Bekora .

" Mana ! " said Aria and went in front of her .

" Mana , I am terribly sorry but I truly cannot take it anymore . It's not that I don't like the brand , it's just that I am not very found of dresses ! They're too uncomfortable . " said Aria with a cute face which made Mana smile .

" Okay ! I was about to tell you that the dress you're wearing now would be the last you would wear but unexpectedly you ran off . Why did you do that ? " said Mana .

" I heard the maids talking about trying fifty more dresses . I wouldn't survive another fifty changes . " said Aria with a guilty face .

' Owww....she's so cute ! ' thought Mana , seeing her expression .

" Those dresses the maids were disscusing about were for another person . You needn't worry about it . " said Mana and Aria released a breath of relief .

" So it means that I can go and change back to my clothes ? " asked Aria and Mana nooded with a laugh .

" Let's go back to the changing room . You guys can continue with what you were doing . " said Mana .

" Finally ! Since we tried the dresses then I better go and take a rest . " said Aria .

" No resting for you miss ! We have to try the jewels , bags and shoes then choose the ones that fit the most . " said Mana and grabbed Aria's wrist then dragged her to her working room in a fast speed .

" Save me !!!! " said Aria but she was taken away in such a hurry that there was no time to take action .

" That Mana ! I wonder if Aria will be able to resist until Mana decides which is the best choice . " said Bekora and then looked at Helios .

To his surprise Helios was laughing with a kind expression while looking at the door .This was the first time he had seen Helios laugh like that in years .

" Helios ?! " said Bekora with a smirk .

" What ? " said Helios and stopped laughing when Bekora called his name .

" What were you laughing about ? " said Bekora with a smirk .

" At how Mana is helping me take revenge on her . She's doing a good job , I will give her fourty millions to use on her materials , after this ball ends . Seeing that tigress's face like a zombie was a very nice sight . " said Helios and took the fencing sword .

" Oh , so you're a bad guy who enjoys other people's misfortune but right now I have a feeling that you're happy about something else . " said Bekora with a naughty expression .

" What do you mean ? " asked Helios .

" You know I am talking about the tests , seems like this girl is likely to join our team . " said Bekora.

" I doubt that will be easy since she has to win my trust . " said Helios while checking the sword .

" She may have not earned your trust but she definetly has caught your eye . Our prince must be experiencing a new feeling . Am I right ?! " said Bekora with a grin and then , with his hands ,made a heart shape .

" It seems like you wish for another round . You were the one who asked for a break before but now it seems like you're full of energy . " said Helion and directed his sword in front of Bekora's face .

" Since you have improved , I won't hold back anymore or show you any kind of mercy . " said Helios with a terrifyingly aura and devilish smile . The two of them started to fight again and the match continued for three hours then ended up with Helios's victory .

' I shouldn't tease the king of devils again . He really is merciless even to his relatives . ' thought Bekora with his muscles aching terribly after the fencing match .

After leaving the room where he and Bekora were practicing fencing , Helios decided to go to his rom and take a shower .When going to the stairs , he saw that the Mana's working room had it's lights still on . He went to take a look since the door was left a little open and saw that Aria was trying on a pair of high heels . Next to her was Mana who was holding another pair and next to Mana was a pile of shoe boxes which were likely to be high heels . Aria's expression was the same one Bekora had when Helios left him in the fencing room after the match and this made Helios laugh a little .

' She looks really tired , I don't think she will have the energy to try and make a move on Mana even thought they are alone . I can go and sleep peacefully . ' thought Helios with a smile and left towards his room .

He walked a bit and before he could enter the room his phone ringed . He took it out of his pocket and saw that it was a message from Juli . Bekora said that he got her the role of the main actress in the movie she wanted and a pair of diamond bracelets .

' Hasn't Bekora warned her ?! What does this woman want now ?! ' thought Helios annoyed .

''' Helios , haven't seen you in a long time ! Thanks for the gifts , feel free to call for me anytime you want . I learned that you will be attending the ball in the Denmark royal palace tomorrow , I will too. I missed you a lot especially at night . Bekora warned me not to contact you anymore and I will not , it's just....I would like to kiss you one last time in order to end my feelings for you . Love you , Juli ! '''

This is what the message was about .

" Feelings for me ?! How funny ?! Better say the feelings for my money ! " said Helios annoyed and entered the room .

He left his phone in the bed and entered in the bathroom to take a shower . While being in the shower he kept thinking about what Bekora had said to him .

' Experiencing a new feeling ?! What a joke ?! ' thought Helios .

After finishing he took his night clothes and then went to bed .

" I better finish the matter with Juli quickly ! It will become more annoying than it already is . " said Helios and slowly his eyes closed then went to sleep in his king sized , comfortable bed .
