BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 - Prepare
Aria and Mana went to the castle's spa . Aria remained surprised when she saw the spa .
" It's not unusual to have a spa in a royal castle . " said Mana with a smile looking at Aria's surprised expression .
Mana was used to the immense luxury cause she was born a princess but Aria , she had to work hard to earn all of that . Mana learned a bit of Aria's past from Bekora . She wasn't a very rich girl , nor was she poor , she was a girl from a middle economy family . Despite all the difficulties that she had she never stopped smiling . Mana thought that it was completly understandable for her to be surprised .
" I'm gonna tell you a secret ! " whispered Mana to Aria .
" This spa has access to the royals and their closest friends only . " said Mana .
" Really ?! " said Aria even more surprised .
" Yup ! Let's go ! " said Mana and took Aria's hand but Aria stepped back .
" I don't think is a good idea that I go enter in there . " said Aria with a bothered expression .
" Why ? " asked Mana a bit surprised .
" You're their stylist and close friend but me.....I don't know anyone of the royal family . " said Aria a bit worried .
' I really pity her naivety ! Even the high rank people don't meet with the queen as often as she does! ' thought Mana with an expressionless face .
" Don't worry , I will get you in . I will tell them that you're my good friend . " said Mana and Aria looked at her with half a smile .
" Are we ? " asked Aria .
" Of course we are ! From the moment you saved me , we are best friends . No one has that much courage to save someone in that kind of difficulty . Plus someone she doesn't even know well . " said Mana with a sweet look in her face .
" Great ! Best friends ! " said Aria and started to laugh .
" Why are you laughing ? " said Mana with a smile .
" I don't even know how I manage to always get myself involved with other people's business and I end up bearing unwanted troubles . This is the first time that I get something other than trouble . A best friend who's an outstanding designer . Finally I am experiencing some luck ! " said Aria and Mana also laughed .
When Aria and Mana entered inside the spa the maids came . They brought them the towels and a pair of swimming clothes . After getting changed they headed towards to the large bath . Aria saw that on the door it was written royals only . The maids were supposed to stop them but they didn't move a bit and let them enter freely .
' There's deffinitly something off about these people ! Mana is a famous designer but still , is she so close to the royal family as to use their resting places freely like this ?! That blonde donkey too , he's definetly not someone easy . Madam Margrethe seemed to hold a lot of authority upon the ministers . When I entered that day in the meeting they looked at me with doubt and disbelief . One word from madam Margrethe made them change attitude completely . They clearly have the aura of powerful people...why are they so close to me ?! It doesn't make sense . What would they gain from someone simple like me ?! ' thought Aria with a doubtful expression .
" Aria , come , the water is very nice . You will feel very relaxed once you get in . " said Mana and Aria nodded .
' Good things always have a price , I better ask my brother to search a bit of information about them when he comes here . I don't think they are bad people but it better to be careful . I am in no position to cause troubles to myself now , I need to assure Aden's medication and fly back to France to complete my studies . ' thought Aria .
When she entered the warm water she immediately felt the relaxing effect .
" It really feels very relaxing . " said Aria .
" Told ya ! " said Mana and the both of them continued to relax while the maids massaged their shoulders .
' I won't have the chance to experience such a treatment again . ' thought Aria and left all the doubts for later .
While Aria and Mana were enjoying the hot large bath and massage , Helios and Bekora were at a resting room near the ball room .
" Bro , I am begging you , spare me ! " said Bekora desperate .
" Stop blabbing and continue the sewing ! " said Helios while drinking coffe and looking at the tablet .
Helios ordered the maids to give Bekora a needle , a piece of cloth , scissors and thread . Bekora looked at them and couldn't understand why he asked them to bring those things . Helios told him that they were in short of some ribbons and he had to make them . When Bekora heard Helios he flinched . He was really bad at sewing and could hardly even put the thread in the needle .
" Helios , my hands are hurting . They have been pinched a lot of times , please ! I have to attend Klara's party tonight ! " said Bekora with his hand full of pinched places where you could even see a bit of blood .
" I told you , we are in short of ribbons and you will take care of that . Use gloves ! Why are you complaining of being hurt ?! Yesterday you received an unforgettable massage and today you're full of energy . Why not waste it on something useful rather than lazing around ?! " said Helios and continued to drink .
' This devil in a human body ! I won't be able to hold even the glass of wine let alone eat anything now tha my hands are like this . Why did I ask Aria to help me ? Why ?!! ' thought Bekora desperately .
Helios continued to torture Bekora for four hours in a row . Bekora managed to sew only five ribbons . A maid came and told the two of them that they had to prepare for tonight's ball .
" You're lucky to be born as my cousin and inherit the family's intelligence genes otherwise you would suffer from hunger with these skills of yours . " said Helios when looking at the messy five ribbons Bekora had made .
' I hate it so much when he talks like that cause I can't really talk back . ' said Bekora annoyed at his lack of skills for things like this .
The two of them went to the changing room for men and the servants brought them their suits . Bekora wore a black suit with a grey cloack and golden strips . Helios wore a dark blue suit and a white classic cloack . The servants helped him put the medals golden medal and necklace . In the middle of the necklace was a large dark blue diamond worth twenty billions and there were also small white diamonds in each plate of the necklace .
" Your Highness ! Here's your mask . " said the servant who bowed and holded the mask with a gold tray .
" You look extremly handsome Your Highness ! You too Sir Bekora ! " said the butler who entered inside .
" Thanks , Albert ! " said Bekora with a smile .
" It had been a while since the last time I wore clothes like this . " said Helios while looking at the mirrow .
" You will be wearing them more often in the future Your Highness ! I am sure of it ! " said mr Albert with a smile and Helios smiled reluctantly .
' Will things really change back to how they were ?! A miracle is needed for it to happen . ' thought Helios with a itter smile .
" You two gentlemen look so handsome and are sure to capture the attention of all the unmarried yound ladies . " said mr Albert looking at Helios and Bekora .
' It's a waste of the cinema world that the young masters don't have any interest in joining showbiz.' thought mr Albert .
" What about the girls ? Are they ready ? " asked Bekora .
" Not yet Sir but Her Highness , princess Mana said that she and miss Aria will join you shortly ! " said mr Albert with a smile .
" I will never understand why girls take so long to get ready . The have been preparing since morning and still haven't finished . The ball will begin in an hour . " said Bekora and Helios nodded in sign of agreement .
' How will that little tigress look in a ball dress ?! I am really curious . ' thought Helios with a sweet smile .
Before the two of them could get out of the changing room , Helios's phone rang . He had left his phone on the table and the servants gave it to him .
" Who's calling ? " asked Bekora and Helios showed him the phone's screen , it was Juli .
" You said you took care of this but look at the phone now . Lazy person who only sleeps ! " said Helios with an annoyed expression .
' So this is why he was so angry in the morning , because Juli called him . And I almost thought that he was jealous because Aria massaged my back and shoulders . That's why he called me lazy . I need to make sure this Juli gets an extra punishment for making me go through unnecessary and painful sewing . Juli just you wait , now you're on my black list ! ' thought Bekora very angry .
