Chapter 42 - A Careless Idiot
\'\' Are you alright ? \'\' asked Helios who was trying his best to hold his laughter . Aria\'s look was messed up now and truth be told she looked a bit funny . Aria showed a forced smile at him .
\'\' This was an expensive shirt for which I had to work for four months to buy it...Now you even have the guts to ask me if I am alright , you idiot ?!!!! \'\' said Aria angrily .
\'\' Hey , don\'t offend people when it was an accident ! \'\' said Helios a bit serious .
\'\' Don\'t you have eyes ?! \'\' said Aria .
\'\' What about you ? Don\'t you have eyes ?! \'\' said Helios a bit annoyed .
\'\' I was admiring the paintings . \'\' said Aria with an angry expression .
\'\' I was reading the file . \'\' said Helios with a serious face . When he looked at his files , he noticed that the papers inside the file were stained with coffee . Aria saw from his startled expression that the file was dirtied .
\'\' What a careless idiot ! \'\' said Aria with an annoyed person .
\'\' Who are you calling a careless idiot when you yourself didn\'t look at the way in front of you ! \'\' said Helios annoyed .
\'\' I am calling a careless idiot the one who was holding a dipper full of coffee . If you had held your coffee well then none of this would have happened . That\'s why you are called a careless idiot . \'\' said Aria with a grin .
\'\' The material in this file is worth ten thousand times more than all the clothes you\'re wearing right now . \'\' said Helios angry .
\'\' I don\'t care how valuable that material is , you can just print it again but the coffee stains are impossible to wash . \'\' said Aria angrily again .
\'\' Grandma , they don\'t seem like they will stop anytime soon . Should we intervene ? \'\' asked Bekora. Both of them looked like they were about to start the third World War just because of some coffee .
\'\' Yes, we should ! \'\' said madam Margrethe and then the two of them went to Aria and Helios .
\'\' Okay guys , time out stop arguing . Helios from what I saw and heard you\'re at fault first so for this round the winner is Aria . \'\' said Bekora in a pacifying tone and madam Margrethe nodded in sign of agreement too . Aria pointed towards Bekora and madam Margrethe while looking at Helios with a victorious smirk .
\' Are these people really my family ? \' thought Helios doubtfully .
\'\' Madam Margrethe , I promised that I would explain to you in detail about your law issue but I really need to clean up first . I will come as soon as I wash up .\'\' said Aria while showing her clothes .
\'\' I understand , don\'t worry ! Take your time , I will wait here for you . \'\' said madam Margrethe with a warm smile .
\'\' The driver will accompany you to the hotel and will wait till you\'re finished washing up then he will bring you here . After you finish the business with madam Margrethe we can discuss about your issue .\'\' said Bekora with a smile .
Aria nodded in sign of agreement and then rushed outside .
\'\' At the beginning it was fun pretending to be a worker but now it\'s really getting on my nerves with that courage of hers . I will make sure to teach her a good lesson when I see her later . \'\' said Helios angry while looking at the stained file which he had spent all night working on .
\'\' Don\'t get angry bro ! I know you worked hard on this but remember it was your idea to lie to her in the first place , to test her whether she is worthy of being part of our team . \'\' said Bekora .
\'\' The incident that just happened was your fault Helios . Plus if you finished having some fun then let me have some fun too . Don\'t dare tell her anything ! I wanna watch her unusual and childish behavior a bit longer . \'\' said madam Margrethe .
\'\' Do you enjoy it so much when she goes against me grandma ? \'\' asked Helios .
\'\' Of course, I do ! Nobody dares to go against you , not even your father while she has the guts to call you an idiot . Every day taking care of those annoying matters that the ministers present has made my routine very boring . Now that I am enjoying myself , do you think I will allow you to ruin this funny show ?! \'\' said madam Margrethe with a smirk .
When hearing what his grandmother said Helios sighted with a helpless expression and Bekora patted his shoulder .
\'\' Nobody wins against the mighty Queen Margrethe , you know it bro ! \'\' said Bekora .
The butler came and informed the queen that the meeting with the ministers would begin in forty minutes and she had to get ready . The queen went to get ready first while Bekora with Helios went to Helios\'s room . Helios noticed that his shirt was dirtied a bit and that\'s why he went to his room first .
\'\' Bro , about you, just said you\'re not serious, aren\'t you ?! About telling Aria the truth I mean . \'\' said Bekora who sat at Helios\'s desk , waiting for him to get changed .
Helios left the papers on the table then opened his wardrobe to get clean clothes .
\'\' No , that was just out of anger . I didn\'t save the work and accidentally deleted it . That file was the only copy left but now .... I have to copy it from the beginning by hand . I want to watch her for a bit more . \'\' said Helios .
\' I know she is trustworthy but for someone in my position and status mistakes aren\'t allowed . All eyes are on me , most of my enemies just patiently wait for the time when I\'ll make a mistake and then use this chance to bring me down . I can\'t allow the same mistakes to happen again . \' thought Helios with a serious face .
Bekora noticed that Helios was very tired . Since he came to Denmark he kept handling both the company\'s work and the royal duties to help his grandmother .
\' He never forgets to save the file projects two times for safety but now he even accidentally deleted it . Also, he was holding more coffee than usual . Although he doesn\'t admit it I can see that he is worn out , he clearly hasn\'t slept much . \' thought Bekora while looking at Helios .
\'\' Aren\'t you wearing a formal costume since the meeting with the ministers will begin soon ? \'\' asked Bekora .
\'\' Look who is talking ! The one who is wearing a classy yet sportive outfit . \'\' said Helios in a serious tone .
\'\' Well , I am not a prince so why should I bother wearing formal clothes ! I sometimes can\'t understand how you guys keep them on . They are heavy and uncomfortable with all those medals , bands and different tapes . The last time grandma Margrethe told me to wear one was really an unforgettable experience for me and since then I decided to never wear those uniforms that require at least an hour to put on ever again .\'\' said Bekora with a strong denial tone and Helios laughed .
\'\' Yeah , I know you don\'t like them . I remember the last time you wore it . It was when you were fifteen and we were attending a royal gathering . You drank too much lemonade and wanted to go to the toilet but your brands were so tight that you couldn\'t even take off your pants . When you were trying to loosen the brands then you made a mess out of the tapes . It took me a while to get your release you from that mess . I still remember your tied hands even today but I always wonder how did you manage to tie them like that . \'\' said Helios and both of them started to laugh .
\'\' Don\'t ask me cause even I don\'t know . \'\' said Bekora and both of them continued to laugh at this funny memory .
