BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - Suspicious Person
Helios kept looking at Aria and Mana who were talking together . Bekora went near him and bumped his arm with Helios's arm .
" What are you doing can't you use your hand instead of bumping on other people ?! " said Helios a bit annoyed .
" Who's fault it is that I can't use my hands ?! " said Bekora also annoyed .
" Since your hands were hurt , how did you manage to dance with Mana ?! " said Helios .
" I only helped her dance cause no one was asking her ! She's like family to me , it's normal to help her . " said Bekora with a serious face .
Helios looked at him with a expressionless face and raised his left eyebrow . Before they went towards Mana , she was surrounded with men who were asking her for a dance .
" Okay ! I'll pretend I believe that . " said Helios with a low voice .
While he was hearing Bekora , his eyes noticed that Aria was with Mana . Mana's cheeks were blushing when Aria was looking at her with cute eyes and a smirk while making a heart with her hands .
' Not again ! How come she attracts both males and females at the same time ?! You don't know on who you should keep your guard up ! ' thought Helios while looking at Aria .
" Oh , yeah ! How come you were dancing with Aria ? " asked Bekora .
" Is it forbbiden to dance ?! " said Helios .
" No , it isn't . What I mean is , how come you and her weren't arguing ?! You two were peacefully talking with each other like civilized people , that's rather shocking ! " said Bekora with a surprised expression .
" Aren't you exaggerating ?! " said Helios with an unamused face .
" Not only I , even Mana thought the same thing . For the people who see you two only fighting each time you meet , this peace is of course shocking ! " said Bekora .
' These two never stop gossiping about other people's business . ' thought Helios with an annoyed expression .
" She just , didn't recognize it was me . " said Helios with a non interesed tone .
" What ?! She didn't recognize you , again ?!!! " said Bekora with his eyes wide open .
" Lower your voice you idiot ! " said Helios .
" Well , someone can forget a person's appearance once but.....twice ?! Especially when the person in question is you a single , successful , handsome and powerful billionaire ! " said Bekora with a wozzy face .
" Tha't why I will order to royal doctor to give her a check up and see whether she has brain problems or not ! " said Helios .
Bekora closed his mouth and continued to look at Helios . He was hardly keeping himself from laughing .
" I'm gonna.....go and take some.....fresh air...in the balcony . " said Bekora who was keeping his laughter in .
" Go , go ! Don't annoy me more than is ! " said Helios and Bekora nodded .
" Aria you're really amazing ! " whispered Bekora and Helios heard him .
' Why do I even bother talking with him ?! It's been years and I still don't understand why . ' thought Helios and started to drink a glass of wine .
" Your Highness ! " said a waiter that came near with a tray of empty glasses in his hand .
" What is it ? " asked Helios while drinking the wine .
" Her Majesty ordered me to inform you that your parents , uncle and uncle's wife will arrive soon . They were delayed by the traffic they faced on their way here from the airport . " whispered the waiter in a low voice .
" Okay ! Tell my grandmother I received the message . " said Helios and the waiter bowed slightly then left .
' It's been a while since I have seen my parents . I bet they're still angry at me . I will when they come , I don't feel like starting an argument with them again . ' thought Helios with a bit of a sad expression .
Mana and Aria sat down and Aria was laughing at Mana's shy face .
" Aria , stop teasing me ! " said Mana with her cheeks red .
" Awww.....the girls in love are the cutest ! " said Aria with a smirk .
" What ' love ' are you talking about ?! We are just childhood friends . Bekora's a playboy , is not a good choice for a boyfriend . " said Mana flushed face .
" Wait a minute ! That was Bekora ?! " said Aria surprised .
" Didn't you know ? " asked Mana a bit surprised .
" No , he looked really handsome tonight . I mean , he is handsome even in general but tonight he was really , really handsome . I didn't recognize him ! " said Aria .
" Yeah ! He really was handsome . " said Mana while blushing a little . Althought she didn't want to admit it , her heart did skip a beat for Bekora .
" What about the person you danced with ? " asked Mana .
" Oh , that ! He was indeed really hot and handsome ! I feel lucky to have danced with him . You know , when he asked to dance with me , I didn't believe it . He was super handsome and I am just an average girl , rather than didn't believe it , I don't dare to . " said Aria with a smile .
" Why do you think like that ?! You are a very unique girl in your way , even your beauty differs from the others in a complete unique way . " said Mana with a serious smile .
' Plus , girls who can talk to Helios the way you do , are not even near on being average . ' thought Mana while smiling .
Mana continued to talk and Aria listened to her carefully . While listening to her Aria noticed a suspicious shadow behind . He was wearing a simple and classic formal black outfit with a brown mask . He went behind the curtain of the door that lead to the balcony and looked around . Aftyer making sure that there was no one around he took his phone out and made a phone call . A vicious smirk appeared on his face before closing the phone call and then he entered in the dance floor .
' Is it just me or that person is suspicious ?! Maybe I am thinking too much ! ' thought Aria and then took a gass with lemonade .
While drinking her eyes went towards the balcony that the person , she thought was suspicious ,came out from . She focused her sight on the balcony and noticed that two sudden black shadows passed .
' What the ?! ' thought Aria and then when she raised her eyes to look at the balcony again , another shadow passed .
Those shadows's clothes were pitch black which made it difficult to see in the dark but thanks to the light emitted by the crystal lamps , it was easy to catch a glimpse of them . She looked around the dance floor and noticed that the person with the brown mask and black formal outsfit was nowhere to be seen .
' Those people don't look like they are guards . Nor are they servants ! I have been in the library all day yesterday and I was able to see the people who worked in the garden from the window .There was no one with black clothes like those . That suspicious person is not around anymore . I hope I am wrong but...I have a bad feeling about this . ' thought Aria a bit worried .
" Mana , where is the restroom ? " asked Aria .
" Oh , it's there . " said Mana and ponted out at a brown door .
" Thanks Mana ! I wil be back shortly . " said Aria and Mana nodded then continued to talk with another lady that was near her .
' Mana is distracted , good ! ' said Aria and wanted to go near the balcony to take a look . Luckily the bathroom was near the balcony .
While Aria was leaving to go to the balcony , she noticed that the princess got up and climbed the stairs . The expression on her face was that of a worried girl and this made Aria even more doubtful. She saw that Mana was busy with some ladies and followed the princess quietly without being noticed much but Helios still was able to spot her right away .
' What is that little tigress trying to do now ? Why is she following Klara ?! Why is Klara going upstairs ? Bekora hasn't returned yet and it's weird . ' thought Helios while looking at her who was following Klara , till they disapeared from his sight .
He knew that Aria wanted to ask the queen about a recommendation and found it strange that she went after the princess . He also noticed that Aria kept looking at a certain man with a black suit and brown mask for a while even though she tried to not be noticed . Helios called a servant who was near and ordered him to go and search for Bekora . The servant nodded and went out then Helios took his phone . He opened it and sent a message to the secret personal guards of the royal family . Those guards were the most well trained guards in the whole royal palace and were the personal bodyguards of each person of the royal family of Denmark . Helios ordered them to find out if there was any unusual movement .
' That little tigress is most of the time silly....she was looking at him as if she was observing his moves . Maybe she doubts something . I hope it's nothing serious but still , better be careful of any unwanted surprise . ' thought Helios with a serious yet worried expression .
