While she was watching him, her heart and mind was in war.. her heart wants to go towards him and say hi, ask him what's he's been up to and get close to him.. but, her mind saying that if she gets close to him too much it will lead to something else.. the Gardener might be punished of someone who has high power.. her heart and mind was both right, if ever she got too close to him it will lead to something difficult.. but even though she knows the consequences of her actions she listens to what her heart desire, she walks towards the Gardener and say "hi" with a wide and sweet smile.. on the other hand the Gardener was in surprised because he didn't expect that her highness will saw him doing something in his break.
He stand immediately and bowed to her highness and says "greetings your highness." Aqua also bowed at the Gardener and he was in shock when she did that.. "your highness, y-you don't have to do that!!" says hellion.
aqua got confused and ask him "why?? you greet me after all?? I will be look rude if I wouldn't bowed also as greeting.." Hellion was in surprised and just smile at her highness. "what are you been up to hellion?" says Aqua.. he answered it with smile and says " I was in my break your highness and I decides to paint some flowers " Hellion shows his painting to Aqua, and Aqua was stunned by the painting..

"hellion? can I have this painting?" hellion was surprised and don't know what to say.. "uhmm... err.. madame it's just an ordinary painting that was made by a gardener like me.. there's nothing special about it.." says hellion.. Aqua got wondered of what hellion just say and said "it doesn't matter, Art is an Art! it doesn't matter whether it was created by a wealthiest person or a beggar as long as it's art and it's impressive then it's special!"
Hellion didn't know what to say and just speechless with mix of disbelief on his expression.. "again.. I'm asking you again.. may I have this painting?" says Aqua.. Hellion on the other hand just smile at her highness and just say "yes your highness, you can have it! it's all yours." with a smile mix with disbelief expression.. Aqua was so happy and thankful for that and ask hellion, "hellion.. can you made another painting please?" Hellion was curious on what aqua's thinking..
