After locking his office , Helios went outside . He walked for a bit till he arrived at the entrance of the library . When seeing him the guards bowed and cleared the path for him to pass . The guard who he met earlier was still in front of the door . With just a glance from Helios he understood that he had to leave and open the door for the prince .


    The guard left quietly after opening the door . When Helios entered in he saw that Aria was still reading . The pile of books that he saw in the morning had become twice as big , the white board was filled with notes and different files were prepared .


    '' She looks childish but she does a really good job ! '' thought Helios when seeing how much she was able to do within a day .


    Aria was so focused on the book that she had forgot to eat both lunch and dinner . Helios saw that the plates were left untouched on the table .


    '' Now I understand why she fainted after closing our case at the court''s entrance , she barely eats anything when she is focused on her job . '' thought Helios when seeing her write on a paper .


    " You sure have worked hard ! " said Helios .


    Aria realized that Helios was in the library only after hearing his voice .


    " You ?! What are you doing here ?! " asked Aria surprised .


    " Look at your food ! It''s cold now only because you didn''t eat in time ! " said Helios avoiding Aria''s question .


    Even he himself didn''t want to admit that that he was a bit worried about her .


    " If you didn''t mention it , I would have forgotten about it . " said Aria when looking at the food .


    In that moment her stomach started to grumble which embarrassed Aria a little . Helios laughed at her cute expression and stomach noise . The more he laughed , the more she wanted to hide herself from embarrassment .


    '' Why now ?! '' thought Aria to herself while her stomach continued to make noise .


    " It seems like your stomach is reminding you that he''s hungry . " said Helios .


    Aria sat down and started to eat . Helios also sat in front of her and looking at her with a smirk .


    " What are you doing ? " said Aria when she saw that he was looking at her with an interrogative look in his eyes .


    " I was just wondering why you''re a bit chubby and not fat with how much you eat . You must have a good metabolism . I bet you must have been a fat baby girl when you were born . " said Helios with a laugh .


    " You....really ! I was....now I''m not....Can''t you just shut up and stay quiet ?! Don''t you have anything to do ?! Why have you come here ? " said Aria annoyed .


    " I was staying quiet . You were the one who asked me what I was doing so I answered . " said Helios with a smile .


    " This blonde donkey ! " murmured Aria annoyed that she couldn''t talk back .


    " What do you want here ? " asked Aria .


    " I am here because I need a book . After I find it I will go back . " said Heios .


    " Really ?! I will gladly help you find it . If we search together we will find it faster then you can go and finish your own work . It''s not good to leave the work unfinished . " said Aria with a super happy expression .


    '' She repeated the word '' finish '' so many times and her big smile , convinces me that she is trying to get me out of here as fast as possible . '' thought Helios .


    " Wow , thaks beforehand for the help . Unfortunately I forgot the name of the book I was searching for . " said Helios with an innocent voice .


    " Are you kidding me ?! Who forgets the name of the book he needs to work with ?! " asked Aria a bit shocked .


    " I just forgot it''s name but haven''t forgotten the book''s cover . " said Helios with a proud tone .


    " I should say that the fact that you remember the cover it isn''t something to feel proud of . " said Aria with an emotionless face which made Helios laugh a little .


    " I really wonder who''s short sighted enought to hire someone like you ?! " said Aria annoyed when she saw him laughing .


    " Oh now that you''re telling me ! The both of us have an agreement . Today is the last day ! Have you figured up what my job is ? " asked Helios seating comfortably while waiting for Aria to finish her food .


    " Being a nuisance to me ! " said Aria with a non caring tone .


    " Are you serious ?! " asked Helios a bit startled from her reply .


    " Well , apart from annoying me I have never seen you do anything else . " said Aria .


    " You aren''t even a bit interested in knowing what''s my job ?! " asked Helios even more startled .


    " Not really ! If I were to put it in numbers I would say minus a hundrend percent disinterested ! Not even zero but minus a hundred percent . " said Aria and finished the last bite .


    '' This girl can''t be for real ! '' thought Helios with a neutral expression .


    She wiped her lips with the napking next to the plate in the tray and then got up . Aria got another book from a bookshelf and walked to the table where she was working .


    " Now that I ate , I need to focus on my work . Since you don''t even remember the book''s name I would suggest you to continue and work tomorrow cause it will take a lot of time before you find it . I would have helped you if you knew the name but now I can''t , I need to focus on my own work ! " said Aria and then sat .


    " You have been in the library since morning and looks like you haven''t rested at all ! Aren''t you tired ? " said Helios looking at the empty plates .


    " Yes , I am tired but I need to focus on this case and make sure to analyse each information carefully . I can''t let anything go unnoticed ! " said Aria holding another file in her hand .


    " Why did you accept madam Margrethe''s case ?! In my case it was because you damaged an ancient statue and it''s understandable that had to take this case . In the end it resulted a success and you even asked for extras which you deserved....In this old madam''s case , I really can''t see you earn any profit . " said Helios .


    When hearing this Aria showed a soft smile .


    " Do you really think people do things like this for free ?! I have my own profit in this mess . " said Aria .


    " I knew you wouldn''t do it just because you''re kind . You even made Bekora agree to your request about covering up your expenses . Now that you helped Mana...are you gonna ask her to fulfill a request of yours ? " said Helios with an evil smile .


    Aria laughed a little and closed the book she was reading then looked towards Helios with determinded expression .


    " I am the type of person who never wants to owe others anything and that''t precicely why I am working on this case instead of spending my free time with my family . About Mana''s case , I really did help her out of kindness without expecting something in return . " said Aria with a smile .


    " I don''t believe you . " said Helios with a serious expression .


    " You can think whatever you want . " said Aria and opened the book .


    '' She expects nothing in return ?! Who''s she trying to fool ?! She knows how to play the innocent part well . I will go along with you and wait till you expose your true thoughts . I don''t believe that you can keep your acting for long . You will sooner or later reveal your intentions ! '' thought Helios .


    '' Hmmm....kindness ! Ridiculous ! '' thought Helios with a dry smile .


    Aria was continuing with her work without paying any attention to Helios . Although his presence made her a bit uncomfortable , she still tried to not derivate her mind elsewhere . Helios got up from the table and went to get a book from the bookshelf since he had nothing better to do . Despite being tired Helios decided to stay at the library and look at Aria while she was working . Ocassionaly they would throw glances at each other . Aria wanted to tell him to leave but she was sure that he wouldn''t .


    '' It''s realy hard to understand this guy ! Why is he suddenly in a bad mood ? '' thought Aria a bit nervous of his bad mood aura .


    Two hours passed , Helios finished the book he took and then looked at Aria again . He noticed that Aria had fallen asleep . On the computer''s screen he saw that there were some little papers attached in which some numbers were written . Helios could tell that they were the numbers of the files Aria had been working on for the whole day . When he looked at the flowers , he took a glimpse of Aria''s sleeping face . She had such a calm and peaceful expression .


    '' Hard to believe that this little tigress can be so calm . Guess she''s only calm when she sleeps...her sleeping face is cute . '' thought Helios while slightly poking her cheeks .
