'' If my mom wasn''t so hot-tempered I would have caught that bastard already. I wasn''t able to know who he was or his name . Now it will be very difficult to see him again . From his outfit, he was clearly someone from the pce . All the men that came had worn a simple ssic and expensive formal outfit with little decorations while he and Bekora had worn a more royalty style outfit . '' thought Aria when looking at Bekora who hadn''t changed his outfit .


    '' Wait a minute....Bekora....yes....since he and that person were wearing the same style of clothes then he must definitely know who he is . Bekora is a kind person and he will tell me who he is . What if he asks why I want to know ?! I can''t possibly tell him the reason why . I need to bring it upter when we discuss about the minister''s case . '' thought Aria .


    "Why are you staying there like a block of wood ?! Come here ! " said madam Kejt in an ordering tone and pointed at the couch where she was sitting .


    '' I can''t tell mom about how I lost my first kiss . Knowing her character she''ll call me an idiot for the rest of my life each time she sees me . She may even change my name from Aria to Idiot . '' thought Aria when looking at her mother with an aura full of hate .


    Aria went closer and took a seat next to her mother . Madam Kejt red at Aria and hit her two times in the head .


    " Ouc ! Mom ! I need my head to make a living ! What will I do ifI be dumb from your beating ?! " said Aria while rubbing her head where her mom hit her .


    Heliosughed a little . Mana and Bekora were left a little surprised when they saw Aria''s mom behaving like that .


    '' After this, I won''tin about my mom being harsh anymore . Aria''s mom is indeed very scary . '' thought Bekora when seeing how hard she hit Aria .


    " You don''t need me to hit you to be dumb , you''re already a dumb girl . " said Aria''s mom and hit her again .


    " Mom , please stop . It''s embarrassing ! " said Aria when she noticed Mana and Bekora''s startled face . She saw Helios and saw him blinking an eye at her while smirking .


    '' I really hate that guy ! '' thought Aria .


    " I was so happy when Ace told me that you found a new and more skilled doctor for Aden . I thought of letting it slide the fact that you didn''t bother to give me a call and waited patiently till I came here to meet you but...what I see when Ie here ?! A bunch of armed guys and my daughter hanging at the candbrum ! Luckily you''re not hurt otherwise I would have broken your legs ! That way I will make sure that you won''tput yourself in danger anymore and at the same time, I can rx too cause I won''t need to worry about you anymore . " said madam Kejt with a scary expression on her face .


    " I''m....very....sorry ! " said Aria with a trembling voice while looking at her mother''s expression .


    '' She looks like she''s really thinking about breaking my legs and making me unable to move ! I better be careful with what I say ! '' thought Aria while trembling .


    " You better be ! My life is being shortened just because I worry too much about you . " said madam Kejt and continued to scold Aria about how irresponsible she was .


    Helios looked at them and thought that they were a bit funny .


    '' Aria is like a little tigress but right now.....she trembles like a little squirrel when her mother scolds her . I do agree that her mother is a bit scary though ! Looking at them I can kinda guess where she got her character from . Her mother is like a big fierce tigress while Aria is like a little tigress . '' though Helios while watching Aria''s mother who was scolding her furiously .


    " Bekora help Aria ! " whispered Mana a bit worried about Aria .


    " I want to help her but her mother.....is scarier than mine . " whispered Bekora with a nervous smile .


    " Well...you''re right about that ! " whispered Mana when watching madam Kejt .


    Ace was used to these scenes between his mother and his sister . He didn''t actually me his mother for being so harsh on Aria . She often put herself in dangerous situations without caring about her safety . She mostly thought only about the profits she could get from these situations but at the same time she had an unusual kindness and pity towards the people in danger . When Aria said that she wanted to be a judge and had won a schrship in France , their mother was very against it . It wasn''t forbidden for women to be judges but it was a dangerous position . Madam Kejt worried that Aria wasn''t smart enough for this position despite having good grades. Judges involve themselves in politics often . The politics were a battlefield without mercy full of corruption . The most fraudulent one was the winner . For Aria whocked a lot in this aspect , it wouldn''t be easy and she may even end up mixing herself with unnecessary troubles that will hurt her unjustly . Ace thought the same as their mother did .He worried about Aria a lot and that''s also one of the main reasons that he started learning aboutputer programs .


    " I am warning you for thest time Aria ! If I see you put yourself in danger again and be so careless , I swear that I will make sure you drop out in yourst year of university . " said Aria''s mom, and Aria reluctantly nodded her head .


    " I know . " said Aria with a guilty tone .


    Aria could notice clearly the worry , uneasiness, and fear in her mother''s eyes even though she was really angry right now .


    '' I know that mom is worried about me but I can''t stop my studies now that I am almost finished . I don''t like to make her feel worried about me since she''s already worried enough about Aden but I need to do this...I have to seed ! '' thought Aria determined .


    " Knowing your character , you will most likely forget if you aren''t punished . " said madam Kejt .


    " Mom , I am sure this scolding was enough . " said Ace and tried to help Aria .


    " No way ! Don''t think you will escape easily after scaring me to death Aria . " said madam Kejt .


    She was about to speak Aria''s punishment but Mana spoke .


    " Madam Kejt , Aria is innocent . Today it was our fault and she didn''t deliberately got herself in that mess . It was partially our fault . " said Mana and looked at Bekora .


    " Don''t try to cover up for her miss . I saw clearly my stupid daughter hanging up the candbrum without taking into consideration her safety . As I remember, apart from the kidnappers only two masked young men were there and you weren''t . How can you say that you were responsible for her being involved in that mess ?! " said madam Kejt with a piercing look in her eyes .


    '' She has sharp eyes . '' thought Mana with a nervous smile .


    " Madam Kejt , one of those masked people was me . " said Bekora .


    " Oh , so you were there ! Who are you ? " asked madam Kejt with a look full of doubt .


    " My name is Bekora Kastijo . " said Bekora .


    '' My son told me about him . He''s the boss''s close rtive and the one who paid for our flight here . Those people who apanied us before were also his people . Ace told me that he and the boss''s wealth are almost the same and both of them are very close . Ace also said that they were really rich . What''s these rich people''s aim ?! Why are they trying to get close to my daughter ?! They can have everywer or judge they desire with how much money they have . Why would they approach Aria ?! Something''s clearly fishy here and I suspect that it''s my careless''s daughter''s fault . Ah , Aria , why can''t you try and stay put for once ! '' though madam Kejt with a helpless expression while thinking of Aria .


    " So you''re mister Bekora . My son has told me about you . Thank you in advance for helping us with the flight and Aden''s medical expenses . " said madam Kejt with a polite smile .


    " It''s nothing madam . Aria has helped us a lot and of course, she deserves most of the credit . " said Bekora with a nervous smile .


    '' She was looking at me quietly . For a minute there , I thought that she would start to yell at me for putting her daughter in danger . '' thought Bekora with a sigh of relief since he was dragged along by Mana in this conversation .


    " Even if you two im that she was dragged into this mess , I need to make sure she understands her mistake . She is stupidly fearless and as her mother, I am really worried about this . She''s careless and doesn''t think about protecting herself . She thinks she''s a superman who can''t get hurt . She''s always in search of adventures since she was young and she often acts without thinking first . So don''t speak up for her ! " said madam Kejt with a harsh tone and Bekora zipped his mouth .
