BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82 - A Good Option
The room was filled with silence since both Helios and the queen were thinking about about Aria's words seriously . Aria started to worry when seeing them in that at state .
' Why did I speak my thoughts out loud ?! I should have said something that at least made sense....Something valuable that's hidden inside ?!...I hope the queen won't change her mind about fulfilling my request just because of my stupid thought just now . ' thought Aria with a half smile .
The queen and Helios continued to think and weren't planing to speak anytime soon . Aria's worry grew even bigger when seeing those two . She didn't care much about Helios but she was afraid of the queen .
' What the hell is this guy doing here ?! ' thought Aria when she looked at Helios .
The silence in the room was broken by a sudden and unexpected noise . The queen and Helios looked around to see where the noise came . The noise started again and they looked towards it . They noticed that the noise was coming from Aria's stomach .
" Ahaaa....this....I wasn't able to eat much tonight so...Sorry !!! " said Aria while blushing .
The queen and Helios started to laugh a bit . The queen turned her head towards Helios and noticed that his smile was unusualy warm while looking at Aria .
' Hmmmmm....! ' thought the queen with a smirk .
" Are you for real ?! So unladylike ! " said Helios while laughing at Aria whose stomach continued to grumble .
' Hold yourself Aria ! The queen is here ! ' thought Aria trying to control her anger .
" You...!!! I have been busy saving people tonight unlike you who must have spent his time dancing and drinking without a care . I don't even understand why are you standing here for ?! " said Aria with a serious tone .
' What a sour mouth she has yet her lips are incredibly sweet . ' thought Helios with a smirk while looking at Aria's annoyed expression .
" How are you so sure that I didn't do anything tonight and only lazed around ? " asked Helios who was trying to play with her a bit .
" Seeing your relaxed expression tight now , anyone with brain can notice that you have lazed around . " said Aria annoyed that he was laughing a little .
' Instead of having some fun I had to save that troublesome sister of mine and you yet she's still so impolite . Well since I kissed her against her will the saving fee will be your payback . ' thought Helios with a smirk .
" I guess you need more brain cells . " said Helios with a smile .
' Should I hit his head again ?! ' thought Aria when seeing a thick book to the table next to her . She saw that the queen was looking at both of them with a smile .
' Thank the queen for being here to save your head from being hit , stupid blonde donkey ! ' thought Aria .
" Miss Aria , I bet you are tired and a bit hungry . We will discuss again about this issue another time . Please do tell me your request before leaving . " said the queen with a polite smile .
' How come she didn't find my idea weird ?! Strange... ' thought Aria a bit surprised .
" I...Your Majesty , I would like to ask for a recommendation letter in the law field from you . Please Your Majesty , that's all I ask of you !!!! " said Aria and bowed her upper body a little while she was sitting .
" I see ! You want a royal recommendation into the law fied . You saved my granddaughter and I am grateful for your contribution . If you want that recommendation I can give it to you , but what if there's a better option on the line ?! " said the queen and looked at her with a smirk .
" What ? " asked Aria surprised .
" Since you want a royal recommendation letter from me , the queen herself , it's clear that you want to have a valuable post in the future . I have a better suggestion but it will be decided by your choice now . If you chose right . I will give you the recommendation either way so don't worry about that . " said the queen .
' Oh , grandma is testing her . In this situation she's sure to fail . She will be tempted since it's this what she has been aiming for . ' thought Helios with a grin .
" Another option ?! " asked Atia confused .
" If you manage the case of the ministers well and gurantee to win , I will arrange a high position for you within the royal court . If you don't want to take this chance then I can only give you a normal recommendation with the royal name on it only . " said the queen in a serious tone .
' The queen is deliberately telling me that I need to win a big case if I want the royal recommendation with the royal seal in it . True , I helped in saving the princess but I did not make a great achievement in the law field and she can inly give me a normal recommendation . Also being part of the royal court means that I have to stay in here and hardly find some free time . I won't be able to neither see my family often or be free and I don't want that . ' thought Aria .
' If she chooses the first option , she's courageous and greddy , if she chooses the second , she's simple and not daring . This will be a good test to see whether she has the capacities of a leader or not . Let's see what you will chose ! ' thought the queen with a serious expression .
' She will most likely chose the second one . ' thought Helios while looking at Aria's serious expression .
" Your Majesty, may I add another option ? " said Aria and this answer came unexpected to both of them .
" I should hear it first then take it in consideration . " said the queen .
" Of course ! I will accept the condition for the first part but I don't want the a position in the royal court . I would like to ask if it is possible to change it into a royal recommendation with the royal seal on it ?! " said Aria and the queen remained really surprised .
The royal court was a dream for everyone in the law department . Only those with enough experience could get there . There wasn't anyone who was young like Aria to be part of such an important court and yet the queen decided that she would handle the gossips about her admition , personaly . This was a great offer and the minister's case was half solved already .
' Why would she give up such a great opportunity to become part of the royal court ?! Does she have any idea what she's saying right now ?! A royal recommendation is nothing in comparison to this !!! Why ?! ' thought the queen a bit shocked at her answer and Helios was looking at her rather surprised .
" Miss Aria , are you aware that the recommendation you request is nothing in comparison to the chance of entering the royal court as a full time employee ?! " asked the queen a bit shocked .
" I know . " said Aria with a smile .
" Then..?! " said the queen .
" Your Majesty , thank you a lot for the rare opportunity that you gave to a commoner like me but I am afraid that this post is too much for me . True , I want to earn a lot of money and secure a job with a high salary , that's why I need the recommendation . If I become part of the royal court I will rarely see my family . They and I will enjoy the benefits separated from each other and I do not wish for such a thing . Plus I do not want to stay locked all day in the office and take care of documents . " said Aria with a serious expression .
When the queen saw her , she remmembere their conversation in the library where Aria said that she loved books but rather than reading things she wanted to experience them herself . This made the queen smile a little .
' She is smart , kind , carefree and a bit reckless but.....I doubt if she'll give up her freedom for another . ' thought the queen while looking at Helios who wasn't taking his eyes off Aria .
' This little tigress never stops thinking about her family . It's unusual to see the same love and burning desire to help her family , that she has . ' thought Helios with a smile .
" It makes sense . Okay , I agree ! If you win the ministers case I will immediately give you the recommendation with the royal seal , miss Aria . " said the queen .
" Thank you , Your Majesty ! " said Aria and her stomach started to grumble again .
" I....am really sorry about this . " said Aria a bit embarrased and the queen laughed a little .
" No , worries about it . Helios , accompany miss Aria to her room and ask a maid to bring whatever miss Aria desires to eat . " said the queen .
" Sure , Your Majesty ! " said Helios .
' Good , the day will be closed with a delicious meal but.....knowing a bit of this weirdo's character he won't leave till I finish eating and will surely make fun of me for being scolded so badly by my mom . ' thought Aria with half a smile .
