Chapter 111 - Take Action
" You don't need to worry much ! " said Bekora .
Bekora told Aria that he needs to go and Aria waves at him while he goes out of the door . When Bekora left completely Aria holds Aden's hand and both of them head towards the library . Most of the clues and proves were found but there was still something left which made Aria a bit suspicious and that was the way the data were framed .
' Usually , when a country has a royal family that rules and not a prime minister , the account of the economic department is known only by the queen , king , crown prince, and royal accountant . How was the minister of finance allowed to have access to the system . Sure he can access it but only in the presence of the queen , king or crown prince . This is definitely fishy ! I can take action right now but if I do present this at the next meeting , the culprit will be alerted and escape right away . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .
She walked to the library and when she arrived at the entrance , the guards opened the door for her.
' It feels nice to be treated as someone important but at the same time, it also feels a bit weird ! ' thought Aria a bit nervous .
She and Aden walked for a bit more then they arrived at the library inside where Aria was studying . When she opened the door , she saw that everything had been cleaned . The room was so clean that Aria thought for a minute that she had mistaken the room in which she had studied for the past week .
" Why are you standing at the entrance ?! Something wrong miss Aria ?! " said a voice .
Aria tuned around to see who was and saw that it was madam Margrethe .
" Madam Margrethe ?! Good morning ! " said Aria with a smile .
" Good morning Aria ! Why aren't you entering ? " asked madam Margrethe .
" I....Well the room was a mess yesterday and when I saw how clean it was today , I thought that maybe I went to the wrong room . " said Aria in a bit of a shy tone cause by saying this she admitted that she was a messy person when it came to keep things in order . Although this only happened when she studied .
" Hello cute boy ! " said madam Margrethe when she saw Aden .
Aden smiled and even thought he couldn't talk , madam Margrethe understood that he was telling her that it was a pleasure he met her .
" What brings you here madam Margrethe ?! " asked Aria and put Aden on a chair then gave him his IPad .
" I am here because I wanna discuss something with you . " said madam Margrethe with a serious expression .
Aria made sure that Aden was staying quiet and was playing , she went and sat near madam Margrethe .
" What is it ?! " said Aria .
" The queen has arranged for a meeting with the ministers today , and she plans to put an end to this situation . " said madam Margrethe .
" I personally don't think that's a good idea , madam Margrethe . " said Aria in a serious tone .
" Why ?! " asked madam Margrethe .
" Because of the situation now...the minister of finance clearly did not act on his own . He had a helper cause he can't access freely to the state's economy without the approval of the queen , king or crown prince . We may catch the minister by the helper will escape and the minister will immediately transfer all the money in the helper's account so that he can turn out clean after the investigation of the high court . " said Aria in a serious tone .
" Don't worry about that ! The high court won't do an investigation and will catch the helper easily . " said madam Margrethe in a serious tone with a smirk .
" But how...?! " said Aria surprised .
" As you suggested in the beginning , I have asked the queen to place people around the ministers and as a result we were able to collect some interesting information . All that's left now is to take action . " said madam Margrethe with a smirk .
She handed Aria a file with photos and that assured her that the case was definitely their win .
" Very nice ! " said Aria .
" The queen will meet with you as soon as this finishes . She wants to personally thank you cause without the information and files that you prepared we wouldn't have discovered these facts in the file that I just gave you . " said madam Margrethe with a smile .
" Really ?! I am very happy to hear this ! To be able to meet the queen twice in my life and to be thanked by her , it's just......Not even in my most beautiful dreams would I have thought that a chance like this appear in my life . Guess I am very lucky ! " said Aria in a happy tone .
' I like her naive and childish smile of hers . ' thought madam Margrethe with a warm smile .
" Will the queen give me the recommendation letter she promised me ?! " asked Aria who couldn't take the smile off her face .
" Of course she will ! " said madam Margrethe with a smile .
" Good ! I really need that now that I have dropped out of school . " said Aria with a bit of a sad smile .
" I happened to hear Bekora when he was talking . So it's really true ! You really gave up school just for your brother ?! " said madam Margrethe surprised .
" I can begin school at anytime while the chance that my brother may heal is once in a million years chance that people won't easily get in their life . No matter how much I rich I'll be in the future , I won't be able to buy this chance again . True that I dream big and hope to be able to become a millionaire in the future but that wish of mine can never compare with the desire to see my brother behave and become like other kids . " said Aria with a smile .and went near Aden . He was screaming a little and pointing at the IPad cause his game was blocked and Aria started to unlock it so that he could play again .
Although she was still doubtful about Aria's abilities , she couldn't deny anymore the fact that she had a soft spot for Aria in her heart . She now regarded her as a trustful ally and irreplaceable friend of hers .
' Commoners think that rich people or royal are far from their reach and they can never approach them . To them they are like stars which they can only look at and can only talk about them behind their back but in reality they're just normal people who happen to be born with a crown in their head and money which makes them luckier than others . They are normal people and once you take of the thought that they keep a crown on their head and start a normal conversation , you get to realize that it's not that hard to try and talk to them , to make friends with them . But people get blinded by greed and that is the line that divides commoners from royals . Aria is a greedy girl , but at least she is greedy only with herself , to reach even higher by her own strength . You're rare Aria , I am sure that you will be able to reach the level of the stars by building your own way up there . When this finishes we won't be able to see each other anymore , but I believe that the next time we will meet , you will be standing next to me as a strong and important character of society . I will be waiting for the time when we'll drink tea again under the same circumstances . As a goodbye gift I will give you a little helping hand . ' thought madam Margrethe while looking at Aria who was hugging Aden from the happiness she was feeling .
In that moment , the door knocked and the nanny who came yesterday came in .
" Hello miss Aria ! Sir Bekora sent me to come and take care of Aden . " said the nanny .
" Thank you for coming ! " said Aria with a smile and the nanny went to Aden's side .
" Madam Margrethe , when will the meeting start ?! " asked Aria .
" After an hour but we better go there now so that we can prepare a bit before hand . " said madam Margrethe with a smile then clapped her hands .
In an instant two maids came in and grabbed Aria from her arms .
" What the...? " asked Aria surprised .
" They will get you changed in a formal outfit then we can go to the meeting hall we were last time . I said that it's time to take action . " said madam Margrethe with a smile .
' I really like this place but it's very annoying to get dressed . It's a real pain in the neck !! ' thought Aria to herself .
" Please take good care of Aden ! I will be right back as soon a s I finish . " said Aria while the maids kept dragging her towards the door .
" Sure ! " said the nanny and took Aden by the hand to bring him to Aria's room and wait for her to finish there .
' Finally ! Let's get this over with ! ' said madam Margrethe with a smirk while imagining the minister's face begging for mercy .
