198: Professor Benjamin ?!

Professor Benjamin ?!

Butler Albert started to slowly open the door in a graceful way . When Aria caught a glimpse of the person inside , standing in front of the queen , she looked at it with a shocked expression . Aria pushed butler Albert lightly and closed the door .

" Miss Aria ?! " asked butler Albert with a surprised expression .

" Whatever happens , I cannot meet the queen today ! I cannot ! " said Aria with a serious expression and started to walk away .

When she was walking away Helios grabbed her jacket's collar .

" Where do you think you are going ?! " said Helios .

" Emmm.....president , I think I heard my brother cry . I will go and check on him . " said Aria and tried to walk away but Helios pulled her near him .

" I don't have to remind you that the person who ordered you to come here was the queen . You said it yourself that an order of the queen cannot be denied . Since you wanna leave.....that person inside must be someone important . Mind telling me what's wrong ?! " said Helios with a smirk .

" Can you let go of my collar ?! " said Aria with an annoyed expression .

" You really are short ! " said Helios and this started to annoy Aria even more .

" I can't control my bone growth . Please let me go now ! " said Aria with an annoyed and angry tone .

Helios wanted to know why she didn't want to meet the person inside so he didn't let go of her collar , otherwise she would run away . The butler looked at them confused whether he should open the door or not . A noise came from the door and everyone turned their head towards the door then it suddenly was opened by a maid .

" Come in ! " said the queen .

" President let me go ! Please don't make me enter in there ! " said Aria and struggled to get away from Helios .

Helios had some trouble in trying to stop her and pulled her a bit more than needed and Aria's back ended up on Helios's chest . From her back, Aria felt that Helios's chest was really strong .

" He has quite a strong chest... " mumbled Aria .

" Thank you for the compliment ! " said Helios with a smirk .

" Wait....did I just say that out loud ?! " said Aria with a nervous expression .

" Yes ! " said Helios and nodded his head , trying to keep himself from laughing .

" Let me go now !!!! " said Aria with a flushed face .

" No , no ! That poor person has come from a faraway place and hopes to meet you . It would be rude if you don't greet him . " said Helios with a smirk while dragging Aria inside the queen's office .

" Finally , the two of you came ! " said queen Margrethe with a smile then noticed Helios was holding Aria from her shirt collar .

" Helios ?! " asked queen Margrethe .

" Greetings , Your Majesty ! You too sir ! " said Helios with a smile .

" I am trying to keep her from running away . " said Helios and looked at his grandmother .

The person sitting on the couch smiled a little when he heard Helios .

" That childish side of her.....I wonder when will you grow up miss Aria . " said the sir with a pressuring smile .

He had black brown hair and green eyes . He looked like a man in his fifties . He was wearing an expensive formal costume and watch . Helios noticed immediately that he was a person of importance , both from his clothes , from his grandmother's behavior and from the person's attitude which was prideful .

' He seems like a powerful person . Why is he here to visit this little tigress ?!.......A professor that comes from another state just to see his student ?!....That's not a normal thing . What's going on here ?! ' thought Helios with a doubtful expression while looking at the person sitting on the couch .

' I could feel his smile even when he was in France...What is he doing here ?!...I really can't stand it when he smiles like that . I feel like being threatened in silence which is nerve-wracking . ' thought Aria with a dejected expression and wanted to break free from Helios's but she realized that it would be useless to run away now that she was already here .

Helios turned Aria with face towards the sir then let go of her shirt's collar . Aria adjusted her shirt then looked at the queen and the guest .

" Your Majesty ! " said Aria and bowed in a polite way .

" Welcome Aria ! " said queen Margrethe with a smile and in a friendly tone .

" Oh , I didn't know that you had met the queen Aria ?! " said the person sitting on the couch and wearing an expensive formal suit .

" Yes.....we...kinda met in the garden . " said Aria with a nervous smile .

" Yeah ! They met while Aria was sneaking in the royal library's garden . " said helios with a smirk and Aria glared at him .

" Aria ?! What has happened ? " said the person with a scary smile .

" Emmmm....I...Well.....ugh....I really can't come up with anything when you look at me like that professor . Please... " said Aria who felt like she was about to be caught by some policeman .

" Professor ?! " said Helios .

" My professor at the university in France . " said Aria and the queen looked at him with a surprised smile .

" I would be glad to hear everything that has happened and..... " said the professor then took a letter out from the inner pocket of his jacket . 

" What is that ?! " asked Helios in a low tone .

" My drop out letter . " said Aria with half a smile .

" Mind explaining to me the meaning of this letter ?! " said the professor .

" Of course professor Benjamin . " said Aria with a polite tone .

" Is this letter yours ?! " asked professor Benjamin .

" Yes , professor ! " said Aria with a serious tone .

" I found it very hard to believe that this letter was actually from you . You only went away for two months and a half . What has happened that you suddenly decide to drop out of school ?! " said professor Benjamin with a serious and a bit angry tone .

The queen looked at Aria with a shocked expression to hear that she had dropped out of school . Helios looked at professor Benjamin and thought he had seen him somewhere but he couldn't remember where .

" Aria , is this true ?! " asked queen Margrethe with a surprised smile thinking that professor Benjamin was jocking .

" Yes , Your Majesty ! " said Aria with a serious tone .

In the beginning, she thought that it was a joke when she first heard about this but now , looking at how serious Aria was , she understood that this wasn't a joke but a crazy reality . 

" Then.....the recommendation letter ?!!! " asked the queen . 

" I still have that.....but .....I don't think I will be able to use it in the future . " said Aria with a sad smile when she thought about the recommendation letter she got because she wouldn't have any chance to use it anymore .

" What recommendation letter ?! " asked professor Benjamin .

" Didn't you know Benjamin ?! Aria solved an important law case within my ministers and was able to find a clever conclusion about how to solve a financial state problem . As a result, I gave her a recommendation letter so that she could find a good job after she graduated . I would have never expected that she actually....dropped out of school ! " said queen Margrethe .

" Aria ?! " said professor Benjamin surprised and looked towards Aria .

" I.....I will tell you everything from the beginning .

" Please continue ! I can't wait to hear what you have done this time ! " said professor Benjamin looking at her with a serious , fierce look .

Aria somehow , felt like a witness who was being interrogated about a serious crime .

" It all started because I encountered this person here . I met him at the airport when I saved an old woman from being robed . I had no object to stop the thief and was running out of time , that's why I took this person's statue that he had in his hands and hit the thief who fell on the ground unconscious . When he I took the statue back , surprisingly it was damaged . I didn't even use a lot of strength when I threw it towards the thief . " said Aria .

" I am really curious....this last phrase . You didn't use a lot of strength but you managed to knock out the thief . I am speechless ! " said Helios and Aria looked at him annoyed but couldn't say anything because the teacher was staring at her and waiting for her to continue .0
