Chapter Six

Aryanna made her way gracefully to the castle with her all-white dress and a veil covering her face, she was loyal and everything in her tells loyalty, the jewelry, her dress, and her movement portray her status. She smiled as she made her way to the great palace of Ethen, she had been summoned by Adeera one of the sacred guardians to her chamber.

She wonder what the call was all about, she had never been called to any of the guardian's chambers before so why now, did something happen? Something that involves her? Their chamber is highly restricted to all people of different statuses.

"So why had she been personally summoned to her chamber? She couldn't stop questioning Adeera's reasons as she made her way through the massive hallway that was built and designed by one of the best craft men that ever lives. The paintings on the wall, the beautiful craft on the floor, the paint, and also the status that was molded with the most expensive stone in history.

And some of the features that were designed with areal gold, an ordinary man would have been struck by the beauty of the castle and vowed never to leave but all loyal blood is now used to this kind of beauty and wonderful arts, she smiled as she traced her delicate finger on the smooth painting on the wall.

And in front of her was the chamber of Adeera, she felt a little bit scared as she moved forward toward the great door which was already held open for her to come in, she wondered what was in store for her.

Ares tried to focus but she felt her hand trembling under the huge tray of food as she made her way to the customer who look like they'll flip her off the window if she wasn't fast with their order, she swallowed in anger and went about serving the customer their order, it was too hard to concentrate but she was doing her best to keep herself despite the thunderous yell and curse coming from the customers.

She felt like screaming at the top of her lungs, to tell them all to get lost but instead, she kept calm while plotting her plan silently in her mind and when they both were finally out of the office with a gleaming faces, she saw Dinah buckled her over and the Jesse unhappy face, She hasn't apologized to him and she doesn't know why maybe it was because she was right in what she had said, just because his parent had dumped him off doesn't mean another parent can do the same to their kids.

Ares nodded at the call and went over to Jesse to drop over the stack of plates in her hand, she didn't bother to look at him and made her way straight toward Dinah and the short grumpy man her feet sluggishly moved forward despite the mad rage and thought to run far away from all these disasters here.

"She looks much pretty when she's closer" the man smiled showing his brown crooked teeth and she have to fight the urge not to vomit, Dinah smiled and turned her gaze toward her "This Is Mr. Greece, he's a very nice and wealthy man" Ares tried her best to hide the disgust in her face as she stood before the two useless adults "And Mr. Greece, meet Ares, she's such a good and hardworking girl" "She's going to make a good wife," he said and reached out touch her face but Ares pulled back in anger only to meet Dinah angry face.

"I'll leave you both to catch up, I have roof customers to attend to," she said and left her with the man who was already staring uncomfortably at her "Come here" the man patted at the seat next to him and Ares felt a cold chill on her body, she just wanted to run away from this "Don't be shy" he chuckled and reached out to grab her hand. She pulled away instantly but didn't bother to turn to know that thousands of eyes were boring through her back "I... I…don't feel too comfortable here" if she was going to go ahead with the plan, she wouldn't want to do it in front of them, she turned to see four pairs of eyes staring at her.

Dinah, first then Jesse and the two other workers, Ares turned back to the man still keeping her distance "Oh, I understand" he laugh revealing his teeth, it only reminded her how badly she wanted to puke after this. "My little wife is shy" he smile and stood up to touch her face "Then, let's take a walk outside" Ares cling to his touch while trying hard not to breathe since he was too close to her.

"Shall we? He asked still with a smile on his face, she have to turn back and stare at Dinah for permission "oh, you don't have to bother about her now, I'm your soon-to-be husband and you don't have to listen to anybody but me, Ares" He took her hand in his which only freak her out but she has to keep her pretense if she wants to use this man.

Aryanna sat before the veiled bed with her with her head bowed, she had been here for a while but still haven't heard any word from Adeera, she wouldn't say that she didn't know of her presence because each guardian has extraordinary power to sense someone, she stayed until it was time for her to leave. The guards were there to escort her out of the chamber, this was one of the most awkward things she have ever experienced.

Why had she called her if she have nothing to say to her? She would have said that if she had been summoned by an ordinary person but…this was one of the most powerful guardians, it wasn't comfortable that she have summoned her without any reason at all. She was expecting some news of information of any kind and not to be left unspoken to, Adeera had left her in a confused state.
