BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81 - Another Purpose
" Your Majesty ! My daughter hasn't told me anything about being here in the royal palace so please do forgive me for being a bit loud earlier . " said madam Kejt with a polite tone .
Aria relaxed a bit when she saw her mother's polite face . Madam Kejt glared at her again the moment she saw her relieved and Aria finched .
" No problem madam Kejt . " said the queen .
" Can I please ask you a question cause I have a feeling that my daughter won't sincerely tell me the truth . " said madam Kejt .
" Sure ! " said the queen .
" The royal palace is offlimits for normal citizens . It's hard for a simple citizen like my daughter to enter or better say impossible . How did she manage to enter here and even be invited to the royal princess's birthday ball ?! " said madam Kejt with a doubtful expression .
" Oh , that ! She tried to enter the library but the guards outside stopped her . She climbed over the wall and was able to sneak in unseen . " said the queen .
Aria looked at the queen .
' She said as if she was there when it happened....Did madam Margrethe tell her everything ?!!.....Way to go Aria , you made a fool of yourself in front of the queen . ' thought Aria and entered in a depressed state .
Helios noticed Aria's state and laughed with an evil smile .
' You'll feel even more depressed when you learn my identity . This is considered a very lenient state of depression . ' thought Helios .
Madam Kejt opened her eyes wide open from the shock of what she just heard . Ace's expression losed its calm and showed a bit of surprise but still he looked at Aria in a deja vu way . Bekora and Mana laughed a little and the queen continued to smile . A few minutes passed and madam Kejt wasn't changing her expression . She was staying like a frozen statue .
" Mom ?! " said Aria a bit afraid .
" Madam Kejt , is everything alright ?! " said the queen a bit surprised .
" Mom , are you okay ?! " said Ace .
' I hope that her anger hasn't grown bigger and cause a circuit block in her brain . Ah, Aria...ah ! ' thought Ace while snapping his fingers and seeing his mom not reacting to anything .
Madam Kejt showed a silly smile and fainted .
" Mom !!! " said Aria worried .
" Mom , get yourself together ! Look what you have done Aria ! " said Ace who was trying to bring his mom to her senses .
" Quickly call for the royal doctor . " said the queen worried .
Mana and Bekora went out to call the doctor . When they opened the door two maids were passing by and Bekora ordered them to call the royal doctor immediately . One of the maids went to call the doctor . The other one followed Bekora and Ace who were carrying madam Kejt . Aria got up and wated to go after them but the queen spoke .
" Miss Aria , your mother is now under the care of my personal family's doctor . She will be alright . " said the queen .
" But I..." said Aria worried and looked behind her .
" Miss Aria , Bekora told me that you had something important to talk with me . I am not a person with a lot of free time , especially during this period . You know well the situation with the ministers and today's kidnapping . " said the queen with a serious tone .
' I want to go and see my mom but if I leave now , I won't be able to get the recommendation letter from the queen . That letter is my insurance for finding a job with a high salary and live a luxurious life with my family . She said that my mom is under the care of the royal family's doctor so I shouldn't worry much . ' thought Aria and looked at the queen then seat again at the place where she was .
Helios didn't leave the room and stayed where he was . He thought that the incident was weird but didn't bother himself with it . He was being very calm and continued to look at Aria .
" Yes Your Majesty ! " sid Aria with a polite tone .
" Before you tell me what you wanted to say , I wanna ask you....What's your sincere opinion on the ministers case ? " said the queen .
" Your Majesty , I have handed the report and I am sure that you must have read it . " said Aria .
" Yes , I did . I didn't ask you about that , I wanted you to tell me your thoughts on it and not statistical facts . " said the queen with a serious tone .
' It seems like grandma and I think the same . When I heard her speak about this matter , she stated the facts but she also thought of something else which she wasn't sharing with us . ' thought Helios .
Aria had give the report to madam Margrethe so that she could give it to the queen . She shared her opinion with Bekora and madam Margrethe but she didn't say everything that she thought .
' How is it possible that she knows I had something else in mind about this case ?! She sounds as if she heard my conversation with Bekora and madam Margrethe herself , even when I sneaked theough the wall.....The more she talks , the more familiar she seems to me . I wanted to speak freely what I actually thought but.....it's not something that I can say with facts . ' thought Aria while looking straight at madam Margrethe's eyes .
" I don't know how Your Majesty was able to tell that I thought of something even but , indeed I did took the liberty to let my imagination run wild . " said Aria with a smile .
" You took the liberty to let your imagination tun wild ?! " asked the queen surprised .
" I learned that the building they requested under madam Margrethe's name is the royal library . I searched all day in the library and viewed all the information regarding the infrastructure of this building . It has a unique mechanism and a book said that it even had secret passageways . I didn't know which was the building that the ministers requested to use as a tourist attractions and make money out of it to cover the taxes and raise the economy of the state . Out of all the beautiful buildings inside the palace's territory, why did they chose a library that needs reconstruction and plus....tourists aren't interested in reading much . They want to see amazing things and not old books . " said Aria with a serious expression .
' This girl was able to actually notice something like this ?! This is a clever thought which I hadn't taken in consideration before . ' thought the queen surprised .
" You mean...." said the queen .
" The library won't be able to raise the economy by the estimated number that the minister of finance gave . I....dare to doubt that there must be something else behind this matter and the ministers are just using the taxes as an excuse . " said Aria a bit reluctantly .
" What else could there be if not for the economy taxes ?! " asked Helios who started to be interested in this matter .
" I think that the library must hold some kind of hidden secret or source of money that the minister of finance plans to hold for himself . " said Aria with a serious look in her eyes .
" Are you sure ?! " asked Helios with disbelief .
" I said before that I dared to let my imagination run wild . " said Aria and looked at him annoyed .
She looked at the queen and noticed that even she wasn't taht much convinced about Aria's reason .
" I am aware that you may doubt my words Your Majesty but....think about it , isn't it strange to request a library for a tourist attraction ?! They purposely took the library . I am sure that there is something inside the library that is valuable and they will try to find it while constructing it . They added a plan for the library to be constructed . I have expressed my opinion freely just as Your Majesty requested , please do not think of it much if it may sound an unbelievable theory . " said Aria who had regretted a bit about what she said .
' Her words aren't an unbelievable theory at all , she's got a it right . My dear husband left me a letter before he passed away and asked to maintain it a secret from the family . I have read that letter countless of times but he didn't mention anything about the library , he only said that he had hidden something which was really important ,....but what ?! ' thought the queen .
' What the hell is she saying ?! Did my grandfather really leave something behind before he passed away ?! He died suddenly and there wasn't even enough time for him to write a will . That's the main reason why the crown prince position isn't occupied yet....since when he dis crowned me . Could it be that he had something else in mind ?! ' thought Helios and looked at Aria with a doubtful look .
' Please , please make this unsupportable silence break . I really cannot stand it . She told me to speak my mind so....is it okay ?! ' thought Aria .
