Aria''s cheeks were like the cheeks of a newborn . Helios thought that her skin was unusualy soft . Most of the girls''s skin was full of cream powder while Aria''s skin was different . It was soft and clean without even applying makeup .


    '' She must feel unconfortable here on the chair , better move her to the coutch . '' thought Helios and put his hands in Aria''s waist .


    Aria''s eyes opened in bit of a fear the instant she felt someone touching her waist .


    '' Oh no ! Someone''s touching me ! Is it one of the mens who tried kidnapping Mana ?! No ! A guard is outside and he cannot possibly enter ! Is it one of the guards ?! They are the ones who''re protecting you Aria ! Then....Is it a pervert ?! Whoever it is is no good person since he put his hands around my waist . Keep calm Aria and counterattack ! '' thought Aria the instant she woke up .


    She was half asleep and couldn''t see clearly who was the person in front of her , also the light also blocking her sight a little .


    " You pervert , don''t you dare touch me ! " said Aria with a fierce tone .


    In that moment Aria quickly got the thickest book that was near her and smashed the person''s head with it making him fall down .


    " Heh ! You have found the wrong prey to mess with ! I will be sure to teach you a good lesson ! " said Aria with a proud tone that she had defeated the pervert .


    " I wasn''t sure before but now I am convinced that you''re a crazy little tigress ! " said Helios while rubbing his head who was received a good bomb of seven thousand and eight hundred sixty pages book .


    " Wait , You ?! You''re still here ?! " said Aria startled when she saw Helios .


    '' I really shouldn''t have tried to move her to the couch . It''s my fault for thinking that she may be uncomfortable . '' thought Helios with an annoyed expression .


    When Helios got up he sat on the couch . He rubbed his head another time and was about to leave. Aria looked at him rubbing his head and thought that maybe she had hurt him a lot . She went near him when he was about to get up .


    " Does....does it hurt ? " asked Aria a bit worried .


    " Try receiving a book as thick as that....I am not made of stone , of course it hurts ! " said Helios a bit annoyed .


    " You startled me...I was asleep and.....you suddenly grabbed my waist.....I was scared who it was and acted without thinking . I am sorry ! " said Aria with a guilty tone .


    Helios looked at Aria''s face . She indeed was feeling guilty and a bit worried . This expression of hers was really unexpected to Helios . Aria was looking straight at his eyes and lifted her hand up . She wanted to move his forelock a little to see whether he was hurt a lot or not .


    " What are you doing ? " asked Helios a bit surprised .


    " I am checking if you''re hurt a lot or not . " said Aria and started to check then she noticed a scar .


    " I see a scar here ! I think I have a bandage with me . " said Aria and searched for the bandage in her pocket .


    '' This crazy little tigress.....she must be feeling really guilty judging by her worried expression . '' thought Helios with a smile .


    " I am pretty sure it will leave a scar . Thanks to you I will become ugly ! My handsome face that was preserved so well was actually damaged by a crazy little tigress like you . " said Helios with a half annoyed tone .


    '' Only girls are afraid of scars . Ah yes...I forgot that he is a narcissist . '' thought Aria with a helpless expression .


    " You''re making such a scene over a small scar like this . Plus , who said you became ugly ?! You look just like Harry Potter with this scar . Pretty cool if you ask me !" said Aria with a smile and then got up .


    " Hahahaha ! I guess you''re the only one who will think like that nowdays . " said Helios with a laugh .


    " Maybe ! " said Aria with a thinking hard expression .


    " Although it was a bad experience for me I must say that you''re srength , is a very efficent quality . I really don''t understand how can you be strong with this tiny body of yours . " said Helios while looking at Aria from head to toe .


    " By the way , you fell asleep so you must be tired . How about you continue tomorrow ?! You will feel more refreshed after some sleep . " said Helios and then he also got up .


    " No thanks ! I will only sleep for three hours and then I will go back to work . I need to finish this case fast . " said Aria .


    " You need some rest ! If you continue , you may miss some clues or faint again ! It''s better for all if you go and rest . " said Helios with a serious tone . When she heard that he knew about her collapsing she thought that maybe Bekora had told him .


    " Thank but I don''t care what''s best for all , I only care what''s best for me ! And I don''t have time . " said Aria with a determinded tone .


    " You will only cause trouble ! " said Helios .


    " No I won''t ! Last time I fainted because....let it be . True I fainted but I did not faint because I overworked . At the university I would send days on the library trying to figure solutions and mistakes so I am used to this way of solving things . " said Aria and returned to her desk .


    " Fine then , do as you like ! " said Helios annoyed and went out .


    " That person was fine and now he''s angry , haaaa.....He must have a mood disorder disease . " said Aria a bit surprised then continued with her work .


    When the guard who was in charge of guarding Aria saw that Heios went out of the library , he bowed and returned to his position . Helios walked through the garden and went straight to his room . On his way he kept thinking about how Aria must have lived during her university years . She had to study hard to be on first place and become who she is today .


    '' She even tells me she''s used to this way of studying ! I don''t know why I feel impressed but at the same time angry . It''s none of my business so it''s not worth thinking about it . '' thought Helios and changed his clothes .


    He wore his terry night suit and went to bed covering himself with the finest silk blanket . Helios''s bed was so big that a whole football team could sleep in there . After having a busy day full of work he was dead tired and fell asleep fast .


    The next morning , after a good night of sleep , Helios , Mana , Bekora and madam Margrethe were eating breakfast together . Mana looked around and waited for Aria for ten minutes but she didn''t show up .


    " Granny , Aria is still working at the library . Can I please go to her ? " said Mana with a cute sight .


    " No Mana ! Aria has been working hard all day yesterday and now too . She specialy asked me to not allow anyone to disturb her . " said madam Margrethe .


    " That''s not fair ! How come Helios , who annoyes her the most , gets to meet her but I not ?! " said Mana in an annoyed tone while glaring at Helios who remained defiant .


    " What ?! Helios when have you visited Aria yesterday ?! I am pretty sure I told you to not step into the library ! " said madam Margrethe angry .


    " Grandma , I needed a book for an information regarding infrastructure for the new project our company is dealing with . " said Helios with a calm tone .


    '' Yeah , continue to act indifferent ! '' thought Mana annoyed at his calm expression .


    " I''m warning all of you , don''t you dare disturb her or I will make sure that you stay in home arrest for the next three years of your lives . " said madam Margrethe in a threatening tone which made the three of them tremble and nod in sign of agreement .


    " No matter how scary you are Helios you can''t beat grandma " whispered Bekora .


    " How do you expect me to be scarier than the person whom I inherited the capacity of being a frightening demon ?! " whispered Helios .


    " You do have a point ! " said Bekora in a low voice .


    " You all better concentrate on the serious stuff ! " said madam Margrethe with a serious expression.


    " What are you talking about grandma ? " asked Bekora .


    " Mana''s parents and Helios''s parents will be in the party tomorrow . We need to be careful of Mana''s stepmother''s next move , Karen isn''t an easy opponent to deal with . You guys better be cautious ! Especially you Helios ! " said madam Margrethe with serious esmerald eyes staring at her grandson .


    " I know ! " said Helios and a tension atmosphere filled the eating room . A tensed atmosphere which continued to accompany them till they finished eating .


    After eating they decided to take a walk in the garden . Mana was the one who dragged them out cause she thought that the best way to get rid of bad feelings was a walk in the green nature filled with flowers . When they walked for a bit more they noticed that Aria had come out of the library and was sitting on a bench looking at the sky .As soon as Mana saw her she called out to her and walked near her . Helios and Bekora followed Mana , so did madam Margrethe .


    " Aria ! Finally , you''re out of the library ! " said Mana a bit happy .


    " Hello Mana , Bekora , madam Margrethe !...mr weirdo ! " said Aria . The only one she called diferently was Helios .


    '' Mr weirdo ?! '' thought Helios a bit surprised .


    " Have you finished the search ? " asked madam Margrethe in a polite manner .


    " I''m almost finished ! Now I was just taking a break out here . The morning sunlight is the best ! " said Aria with a smile .


    " Good to hear that you have been working hard , oh but don''t forget about the party . You better take some rest since the party is tomorrow and you need to get ready ! " said madam Margrethe with a smile .


    " Aria will also come ! Great , we will choose your dress together . We have to hurry though cause we have to try fifty dresses . " said Mana in a thinking mode .


    " Fifty ?! " said Aria shocked .


    " Yes ! There are also the shoes and bags to try on , about sixty of them . Jewels too ! We gota try the latest collection with forty different pieces ! " said Mana excited .


    " Pardon ?! " said Aria who was freaked out by Mana''s suggestion of trying so many dresses and shoes , bags and jewels .
