BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42 - A Careless Idiot
'' Are you alright ? '' asked Helios who was trying his best to hold his laughter . Aria's look was messed up now and truth be told she looked a bit funny . Aria showed a forced smile at him .
'' This was an expensive shirt for which I had to work for four months to buy it...Now you even have the guts to ask me if I am alright , you idiot ?!!!! '' said Aria angrily .
'' Hey , don't offend people when it was an accident ! '' said Helios a bit serious .
'' Don't you have eyes ?! '' said Aria .
'' What about you ? Don't you have eyes ?! '' said Helios a bit annoyed .
'' I was admiring the paintings . '' said Aria with an angry expression .
'' I was reading the file . '' said Helios with a serious face . When he looked at his files , he noticed that the papers inside the file were stained with coffee . Aria saw from his startled expression that the file was dirtied .
'' What a careless idiot ! '' said Aria with an annoyed person .
'' Who are you calling a careless idiot when you yourself didn't look at the way in front of you ! '' said Helios annoyed .
'' I am calling a careless idiot the one who was holding a dipper full of coffee . If you had held your coffee well then none of this would have happened . That's why you are called a careless idiot . '' said Aria with a grin .
'' The material in this file is worth ten thousand times more than all the clothes you're wearing right now . '' said Helios angry .
'' I don't care how valuable that material is , you can just print it again but the coffee stains are impossible to wash . '' said Aria angrily again .
'' Grandma , they don't seem like they will stop anytime soon . Should we intervene ? '' asked Bekora. Both of them looked like they were about to start the third World War just because of some coffee .
'' Yes, we should ! '' said madam Margrethe and then the two of them went to Aria and Helios .
'' Okay guys , time out stop arguing . Helios from what I saw and heard you're at fault first so for this round the winner is Aria . '' said Bekora in a pacifying tone and madam Margrethe nodded in sign of agreement too . Aria pointed towards Bekora and madam Margrethe while looking at Helios with a victorious smirk .
' Are these people really my family ? ' thought Helios doubtfully .
'' Madam Margrethe , I promised that I would explain to you in detail about your law issue but I really need to clean up first . I will come as soon as I wash up .'' said Aria while showing her clothes .
'' I understand , don't worry ! Take your time , I will wait here for you . '' said madam Margrethe with a warm smile .
'' The driver will accompany you to the hotel and will wait till you're finished washing up then he will bring you here . After you finish the business with madam Margrethe we can discuss about your issue .'' said Bekora with a smile .
Aria nodded in sign of agreement and then rushed outside .
'' At the beginning it was fun pretending to be a worker but now it's really getting on my nerves with that courage of hers . I will make sure to teach her a good lesson when I see her later . '' said Helios angry while looking at the stained file which he had spent all night working on .
'' Don't get angry bro ! I know you worked hard on this but remember it was your idea to lie to her in the first place , to test her whether she is worthy of being part of our team . '' said Bekora .
'' The incident that just happened was your fault Helios . Plus if you finished having some fun then let me have some fun too . Don't dare tell her anything ! I wanna watch her unusual and childish behavior a bit longer . '' said madam Margrethe .
'' Do you enjoy it so much when she goes against me grandma ? '' asked Helios .
'' Of course, I do ! Nobody dares to go against you , not even your father while she has the guts to call you an idiot . Every day taking care of those annoying matters that the ministers present has made my routine very boring . Now that I am enjoying myself , do you think I will allow you to ruin this funny show ?! '' said madam Margrethe with a smirk .
When hearing what his grandmother said Helios sighted with a helpless expression and Bekora patted his shoulder .
'' Nobody wins against the mighty Queen Margrethe , you know it bro ! '' said Bekora .
The butler came and informed the queen that the meeting with the ministers would begin in forty minutes and she had to get ready . The queen went to get ready first while Bekora with Helios went to Helios's room . Helios noticed that his shirt was dirtied a bit and that's why he went to his room first .
'' Bro , about you, just said you're not serious, aren't you ?! About telling Aria the truth I mean . '' said Bekora who sat at Helios's desk , waiting for him to get changed .
Helios left the papers on the table then opened his wardrobe to get clean clothes .
'' No , that was just out of anger . I didn't save the work and accidentally deleted it . That file was the only copy left but now .... I have to copy it from the beginning by hand . I want to watch her for a bit more . '' said Helios .
' I know she is trustworthy but for someone in my position and status mistakes aren't allowed . All eyes are on me , most of my enemies just patiently wait for the time when I'll make a mistake and then use this chance to bring me down . I can't allow the same mistakes to happen again . ' thought Helios with a serious face .
Bekora noticed that Helios was very tired . Since he came to Denmark he kept handling both the company's work and the royal duties to help his grandmother .
' He never forgets to save the file projects two times for safety but now he even accidentally deleted it . Also, he was holding more coffee than usual . Although he doesn't admit it I can see that he is worn out , he clearly hasn't slept much . ' thought Bekora while looking at Helios .
'' Aren't you wearing a formal costume since the meeting with the ministers will begin soon ? '' asked Bekora .
'' Look who is talking ! The one who is wearing a classy yet sportive outfit . '' said Helios in a serious tone .
'' Well , I am not a prince so why should I bother wearing formal clothes ! I sometimes can't understand how you guys keep them on . They are heavy and uncomfortable with all those medals , bands and different tapes . The last time grandma Margrethe told me to wear one was really an unforgettable experience for me and since then I decided to never wear those uniforms that require at least an hour to put on ever again .'' said Bekora with a strong denial tone and Helios laughed .
'' Yeah , I know you don't like them . I remember the last time you wore it . It was when you were fifteen and we were attending a royal gathering . You drank too much lemonade and wanted to go to the toilet but your brands were so tight that you couldn't even take off your pants . When you were trying to loosen the brands then you made a mess out of the tapes . It took me a while to get your release you from that mess . I still remember your tied hands even today but I always wonder how did you manage to tie them like that . '' said Helios and both of them started to laugh .
'' Don't ask me cause even I don't know . '' said Bekora and both of them continued to laugh at this funny memory .
