Chapter 112 - Shocked
The maids accompanied Aria to her room and started to make her ready for the meeting . Madam Margrethe ordered another maid to bring a formal black costume .
" Is this really necessary madam Margrethe ?! I already have a formal outfit which I think is pretty good . " said Aria while looking at the formal outfit the maid handed her and strongly refusing to wear it .
With only one glance , Aria could tell that this outfit was really expensive and she was a bit afraid to wear it .
' This looks like is worth a fortune ! I am afraid to wear it ! ' thought Aria with a forced smile .
" I can kinda read your thoughts now but I am telling you that there's no need to worry about that. We are going towards a fiece and difficult battle so the first step is to wear the right armor , just like prosecutors wear their black coat . Don't you think so too my dear ?! " said madam Margrethe .
Aria looked at the outfit in her hands and started to think of her school in France .
' I will most likely never have the chance to wear a prosecutor coat in the future . Maybe this will be the last chance I will have to try the feeling of being an important person and a proper law person . At this point....I guess it wouldn't be bad to be a bit selfish , right ?! ' thought Aria to herself with a soft smile and then went in the changing room to get dressed .
When Aria came out of the dressing room , the maids remained astonished by her looks . Madam Margrethe turned her head towards the changing room and when she saw Aria she showed a smirk .
" This is what I can a perfect armor . Now you're ready ! Let's go and bring them down . " said madam Margrethe in a sweet voice .
Aria noticed that everyone who saw her remained amazed so she looked at the mirror . She remained shocked by how she looked .
' Is this me ?! Wow....clothes really do change the person . I look like a super-rich and influential boss ! Well , since I look like this it would be a waste if I am nervous and don't bring down the enemy today . I am gonna have fun to my heart's content . ' thought Aria with a devilish smile .
Madam Margrethe smiled at Aria and the two of them together went towards the meeting hall where she discussed with the ministers , the first time .
" Okay , it seems like everything is ready ! " said madam Margrethe when she saw that the place was prepared and the meeting could begin soon . The files were placed on the table where Aria would stay and the reports were placed on the table where madam Margrethe would stay .
" Madam , the ministers have arrived ! " said butler Albert and madam Margrethe nodded .
" Aria , ready ?! " said madam Margrethe .
" Ready ! " said Aria and the door opened then the ministers came .
In the beginning Aria found madam Margrethe as someone easy to talk to so she didn't pay to much attention to her surroundings but when she saw that madam Margrethe was highly respected by the people withing the castle she started to think that she was more than a library worker .
" What is it ? " asked madam Margrethe when she noticed that Aria was looking at her .
" Madam Margrethe , are an important and influential character ? " asked Aria with a voice where the doubt could be felt clearly .
" What do you think ?! " asked madam Margrethe with a smirk .
" I think that you definitely are ! Who are you madam Margrethe ?! " said Aria with a calm face .
" You will learn who I am the moment this meeting finishes , don't be too surprised though . " said madam Margrethe with a smile .
' Seeing her smile...I think that I will be receiving a huge shock later ! ' thought Aria a bit uneasy .
While madam Margrethe and Aria were with the ministers , Helios was reading the statistics of his company's sales . The door opened and Bekora came then he took a file which he had left on the table in a hurry .
" Where are you going inn such a hurry ?! " asked Helios .
" Morning bro ! Today is the scheduled meeting with the ministers . By grandma's orders I have to attend it . I needed this file that's why I came here to take it . The meeting is about to begin and I don't wanna be late that's why I am in a hurry . " said Bekora and opened the door to go out .
" Take Ramolo with you and tell him to make a video call , I wanna see everything that happens . " said Helios and Bekora nodded then left to the meeting room .
" I am really curious how will you deal with those people little tigress . " said Helios .
After five minutes Ramolo called Helios with video chat .
" Helios bro ! The ministers have just entered , can you see it ?! " said Ramolo .
Helios noticed that Ramolo had placed the phone in an angle where everything could be seen . He saw the ministers that were entering the hall then he caught a glimpse of Aria who was standing next to madam Margrethe . He remained amazed by how she looked .
' So this shorty can look beautiful too , and in a formal suit ! She looked really good at Klara's birthday party too . ' thought Helios while looking at her .
Helios continued to see everything from the video chat . At the meeting hall an atmosphere full of tension filled the room . Madam Margrethe looked at the ministers and they had a serious expression on their face . She looked at Aria and saw that she was rather calm .
" What is today's meeting about ? " asked the minister of education .
" Has a solution been found about the problem with the budged ?! " asked the minister of health with hope that a solution had been found .
All the ministers started to ask about the reason why they were called here today . A messy situation was created and the queen stepped in .
" Please talk only one at a time ministers otherwise we won't be able to understand each other ! " said madam Margrethe in an ordering tone and all the people in the room stopped talking .
" Now ! The reason why we are here today is to clarify this issue once and for all . " said madam Margrethe and all of the ministers nodded their head .
" How come ?! " asked the minister of environment .
Aria couldn't keep herself from laughing a little when she heard him . He noticed her laughing and this made him angry .
" May you tell me what's so funny in what I just said miss ?! " asked the minister of environment .
" Nothing really ! I just.....find your surprised attitude very funny . " said Aria .
" You're very impolite ! Well , what do you expect from a girl who has dropped out of school . Don't get hopes up that you'll join us just because you've worn an expensive outfit ! Dropped out girls like you should know their place and try to not get involved in matters which are out of their league . " said the minister of environment with a devilish smirk .
When Aria heard the ' drop out of school girl ' sentence , she felt as if her heart was being pierced by something and that reflected in her expression too . Bekora and madam Margrethe noticed this right away and glared at the minister of environment . Aria stayed silent for a minute and heard the silent laughs of two other ministers . She remained calm for a bit till she reorganized her feelings and then looked at the ministers with a fierce look , especially
" It seems like you have done an investigation about me sir . True , I dropped out of school but it wasn't because I was a bad student , it was for personal reasons . I may be dropped out but I do have enough knowledge to deal with matters like this . " said Aria with a smirk and madam Margrethe and Bekora felt relieved when they saw that she was counterattacking .
" Aren't you just deceiving yourself ?! Who knows what dirty trick have you played to force the queen into making you her advisor . It's doesn't make sense ! " said the minister of environment .
When Aria heard this , she thought that maybe her ears didn't work well , but when she looked at madam Margrethe she nodded her head and made a signal that they would talk later about this . Aria was really confused , on one side she felt like she was about to faint from what she just learned , on the other side she knew that she had to keep her mind clear and under control to be able to deal with this situation .
' This situation is turning upside down . I need to organize my thoughts but first...I will deal with that annoying guy ! ' thought Aria and decided to think about the shocking news she heard later .
" The fact that the queen choose me as her advisor only shows that I am worthy of being here . At the beginning I thought of taking it slowly but now I won't beat around the bush anymore !" said Aria and took the files then gave one file to each one of the people in the room .
They opened the files and the shocked expression on their face appeared as soon as they read the first page .
" You're surprisingly a very good actor , it's a pity that you've become a minister but don't worry . After being fired from your post as a minister you'll have the possibility to try and become an actor." said Aria with a devilish smirk.
" Hahahahahahahaha ! This little tigress is really something ! Their expression now is hilarious . " said Helios who was looking at everything from his phone , while laughing .
