Chapter 67 - Prepare
Aria and Mana went to the castle\'s spa . Aria remained surprised when she saw the spa .
" It\'s not unusual to have a spa in a royal castle . " said Mana with a smile looking at Aria\'s surprised expression .
Mana was used to the immense luxury cause she was born a princess but Aria , she had to work hard to earn all of that . Mana learned a bit of Aria\'s past from Bekora . She wasn\'t a very rich girl , nor was she poor , she was a girl from a middle economy family . Despite all the difficulties that she had she never stopped smiling . Mana thought that it was completly understandable for her to be surprised .
" I\'m gonna tell you a secret ! " whispered Mana to Aria .
" This spa has access to the royals and their closest friends only . " said Mana .
" Really ?! " said Aria even more surprised .
" Yup ! Let\'s go ! " said Mana and took Aria\'s hand but Aria stepped back .
" I don\'t think is a good idea that I go enter in there . " said Aria with a bothered expression .
" Why ? " asked Mana a bit surprised .
" You\'re their stylist and close friend but me.....I don\'t know anyone of the royal family . " said Aria a bit worried .
\' I really pity her naivety ! Even the high rank people don\'t meet with the queen as often as she does! \' thought Mana with an expressionless face .
" Don\'t worry , I will get you in . I will tell them that you\'re my good friend . " said Mana and Aria looked at her with half a smile .
" Are we ? " asked Aria .
" Of course we are ! From the moment you saved me , we are best friends . No one has that much courage to save someone in that kind of difficulty . Plus someone she doesn\'t even know well . " said Mana with a sweet look in her face .
" Great ! Best friends ! " said Aria and started to laugh .
" Why are you laughing ? " said Mana with a smile .
" I don\'t even know how I manage to always get myself involved with other people\'s business and I end up bearing unwanted troubles . This is the first time that I get something other than trouble . A best friend who\'s an outstanding designer . Finally I am experiencing some luck ! " said Aria and Mana also laughed .
When Aria and Mana entered inside the spa the maids came . They brought them the towels and a pair of swimming clothes . After getting changed they headed towards to the large bath . Aria saw that on the door it was written royals only . The maids were supposed to stop them but they didn\'t move a bit and let them enter freely .
\' There\'s deffinitly something off about these people ! Mana is a famous designer but still , is she so close to the royal family as to use their resting places freely like this ?! That blonde donkey too , he\'s definetly not someone easy . Madam Margrethe seemed to hold a lot of authority upon the ministers . When I entered that day in the meeting they looked at me with doubt and disbelief . One word from madam Margrethe made them change attitude completely . They clearly have the aura of powerful people...why are they so close to me ?! It doesn\'t make sense . What would they gain from someone simple like me ?! \' thought Aria with a doubtful expression .
" Aria , come , the water is very nice . You will feel very relaxed once you get in . " said Mana and Aria nodded .
\' Good things always have a price , I better ask my brother to search a bit of information about them when he comes here . I don\'t think they are bad people but it better to be careful . I am in no position to cause troubles to myself now , I need to assure Aden\'s medication and fly back to France to complete my studies . \' thought Aria .
When she entered the warm water she immediately felt the relaxing effect .
" It really feels very relaxing . " said Aria .
" Told ya ! " said Mana and the both of them continued to relax while the maids massaged their shoulders .
\' I won\'t have the chance to experience such a treatment again . \' thought Aria and left all the doubts for later .
While Aria and Mana were enjoying the hot large bath and massage , Helios and Bekora were at a resting room near the ball room .
" Bro , I am begging you , spare me ! " said Bekora desperate .
" Stop blabbing and continue the sewing ! " said Helios while drinking coffe and looking at the tablet .
Helios ordered the maids to give Bekora a needle , a piece of cloth , scissors and thread . Bekora looked at them and couldn\'t understand why he asked them to bring those things . Helios told him that they were in short of some ribbons and he had to make them . When Bekora heard Helios he flinched . He was really bad at sewing and could hardly even put the thread in the needle .
" Helios , my hands are hurting . They have been pinched a lot of times , please ! I have to attend Klara\'s party tonight ! " said Bekora with his hand full of pinched places where you could even see a bit of blood .
" I told you , we are in short of ribbons and you will take care of that . Use gloves ! Why are you complaining of being hurt ?! Yesterday you received an unforgettable massage and today you\'re full of energy . Why not waste it on something useful rather than lazing around ?! " said Helios and continued to drink .
\' This devil in a human body ! I won\'t be able to hold even the glass of wine let alone eat anything now tha my hands are like this . Why did I ask Aria to help me ? Why ?!! \' thought Bekora desperately .
Helios continued to torture Bekora for four hours in a row . Bekora managed to sew only five ribbons . A maid came and told the two of them that they had to prepare for tonight\'s ball .
" You\'re lucky to be born as my cousin and inherit the family\'s intelligence genes otherwise you would suffer from hunger with these skills of yours . " said Helios when looking at the messy five ribbons Bekora had made .
\' I hate it so much when he talks like that cause I can\'t really talk back . \' said Bekora annoyed at his lack of skills for things like this .
The two of them went to the changing room for men and the servants brought them their suits . Bekora wore a black suit with a grey cloack and golden strips . Helios wore a dark blue suit and a white classic cloack . The servants helped him put the medals golden medal and necklace . In the middle of the necklace was a large dark blue diamond worth twenty billions and there were also small white diamonds in each plate of the necklace .
" Your Highness ! Here\'s your mask . " said the servant who bowed and holded the mask with a gold tray .
" You look extremly handsome Your Highness ! You too Sir Bekora ! " said the butler who entered inside .
" Thanks , Albert ! " said Bekora with a smile .
" It had been a while since the last time I wore clothes like this . " said Helios while looking at the mirrow .
" You will be wearing them more often in the future Your Highness ! I am sure of it ! " said mr Albert with a smile and Helios smiled reluctantly .
\' Will things really change back to how they were ?! A miracle is needed for it to happen . \' thought Helios with a itter smile .
" You two gentlemen look so handsome and are sure to capture the attention of all the unmarried yound ladies . " said mr Albert looking at Helios and Bekora .
\' It\'s a waste of the cinema world that the young masters don\'t have any interest in joining showbiz.\' thought mr Albert .
" What about the girls ? Are they ready ? " asked Bekora .
" Not yet Sir but Her Highness , princess Mana said that she and miss Aria will join you shortly ! " said mr Albert with a smile .
" I will never understand why girls take so long to get ready . The have been preparing since morning and still haven\'t finished . The ball will begin in an hour . " said Bekora and Helios nodded in sign of agreement .
\' How will that little tigress look in a ball dress ?! I am really curious . \' thought Helios with a sweet smile .
Before the two of them could get out of the changing room , Helios\'s phone rang . He had left his phone on the table and the servants gave it to him .
" Who\'s calling ? " asked Bekora and Helios showed him the phone\'s screen , it was Juli .
" You said you took care of this but look at the phone now . Lazy person who only sleeps ! " said Helios with an annoyed expression .
\' So this is why he was so angry in the morning , because Juli called him . And I almost thought that he was jealous because Aria massaged my back and shoulders . That\'s why he called me lazy . I need to make sure this Juli gets an extra punishment for making me go through unnecessary and painful sewing . Juli just you wait , now you\'re on my black list ! \' thought Bekora very angry .
