Child Contains Husband of Others
37

Ares cleared his throat. "You know this little boy is a special child."

A special child is their tender name if Anastasia is there because she may be hurt if referred to as an illegitimate child or a forbidden child. Although Elois had already called him an illegitimate child.

"This particular child was born at an inopportune time, so inevitably he was separated from Erekleus. But after years of consideration, I think we don't need to acknowledge her as Narendra but at least give her half the treatment as Narendra's daughter. Aunt Askala did not resist, and Ahelois and Eusebia were not angry anymore. So, what do you think?"

They all looked at each other before Elois opened his voice. Now it's not to have her brother die.

"We accept on condition."

"Say."

"Erekleus must have no other wife than Ariadne."

Erekleus. He wants to apply for permission to marry Mute.

"Sister." Erekleus immediately looked at Ares. "I accept any conditions provided that I am allowed to marry Mutia. That's it."

Ares frowned. "Married the Narendra worker? It's rare but not forbidden."

Ares spoke as he continued to caress the head of Anastasia who was just silently watching.

"Well, separating mother and child is a terrible thing but doesn't that woman want to?"

"I'll try. Please, that's all."

Ares looked at his other siblings. "Then create new conditions for this poor boy."

"Give me your jewelry for my wife."

"Give a hundred percent stake in your hands to us."

"Take over my hard five-year job."

"Don't fuck anyone but your wife in the future, including that lovely maid of yours. Oh, and give him to me."

"Move to the very back of the building and stop being human."

Erekleus massaged his temple. None of his brothers are sane.

"Then what about this?" Ares clapped his hand and smiled like an angel. "Ninety percent of Erekleus' wealth will be distributed to all of us and he will have to work harder than everyone for ten years without appreciation."

Erekleus instantaneous 😨. But Ares' words continued.

"She also can no longer marry— except with the mother of her child because it is sad to separate the child from her mother—and only be allowed to have one more child from Ariadne. Then, because he was being brash, self-informed, not caring about the self-esteem of his brothers who tried so hard to raise him, he said, then Erekleus also had to take care of our horses for two whole years at the hunting party."

"Kakak—"

"Oh, and lastly, since the mother of her child begged me not to forcibly change her status, then her son may stay with Erekleus only if Mutia permits. But since Anastasia is my son too, she can stay with me, or with Uncle Eris, or with any of you who want to. Agreed?"

"NO!"

Erekleus' screams could not beat the agreeable cheers of everyone.

Although in fact it is all worth it because if the situation is taken to the realm of seriousness, even the death of Anastasia can be discussed again, but Erekleus still wants to cry over everyone's decision.

How could they make it work like a coolie?! Even Ares?!

"Ana, at least hug Daddy who's been trying so hard," Erekleus' half-dying pinta.

Anastasia was busy serving Elois and her other uncles, but Ares had at least some sanity. The man lowered Anastasia, telling her to go into Erekleus' arms.

"Little baby." Erekleus hugged her very tightly. "Dad loves you."

Then without permission, Anastasia wiped her hands against Erekleus's clothes.

"You're a real descendant of Narendra, Ana." Erekleus could only bitterly comment.

But the man was not angry, instead holding Anastasia away from the meeting table. Finally, Erekleus wanted to celebrate this with his daughter.

"Dad, where are we going?"

"Meeting Grandpa and Grandma."

"really?" Anastasia. "But what is grandma?"

"That's Grandpa's partner. Everything in pairs. Father and Mother, then Grandpa and Grandma."

"so." Anastasia nodded.

"They're like your parents now. You can meet them and find them. Not secretly anymore."

"really? Doesn't Ana need to lie to Mommy anymore?"

"Yes, run as freely as you." Erekleus smiled brightly. "Dad will make sure no corner of this place is off limits to you."

Well, even though Erekleus is really going to be the babu of his sisters and even his sister, but if it can give Anastasia happiness, why not?

The most important thing is that all Narendra agreed to accept Anastasia.

*

Mute did not expect that his permission could be that easy. Though he thought Erekleus would bring Anastasia home with disappointment on his face. But they all agree?

"That's no surprise," Sanya said as Mute was puzzled. "The Narendra are strict against the rules for maintaining balance but they also value their blood very much. Like me." For example."

"You?"

"I'm not a Narendra descendant, I've told you many times. I'm not Narendra's bastard son either."

Sanya propped up her chin, with a lazy storytelling. "I was recognized as Narendra only because two hundred years ago, Trika Narendra was a Narendra. When I think of blood, I have no connection. Trika Narendra is only the wife of Narendra, not a descendant of Narendra like Askala. Then he cheated on me and had a son named Iaros, and Iaros secretly had a son outside Narendra and his lineage went all the way to me. In my blood there is no Narendra blood but I'm admitted because Trika is still Narendra's wife."

Sanya pointed at Mute.

"You are not Narendra's wife but your daughter the son of Erekleus, the legitimate son of a Narendra and Narendra's wife. It's obviously easy for him to be accepted."

"Why were our lives even threatened?" Mute even remembers how she was scared waiting for someone to come and drop her baby.

"Because the child was not born yet." Sanya shrugs her shoulders. "If Narendra kills you with Narendra's child, it doesn't feel like killing Narendra. Moreover, your son used to even still be in the form of a zygote. That's why it's so easy to talk about killing you and the kid."

"But now it's different. She was born, she showed the characteristics of a Princess Narendra. Killing him wouldn't be that easy now."

This long historic family is obviously complicated. Mute sighed, staring at her watch again while recalling Anastasia.

He was climbing to the surface, picked up by Ikarus again. He said Ares invited him to a meal with Ahelois.

"If you say he's okay, it'll be fine."

At least that's a sure thing.

Sanya may be crazy but she never lies on her bail.

"Maybe this is the best too" murmured Mute. "I've accepted my first assignment program. It was quite long, four months. If Ana was with her Grandpa Grandpa as long as I was gone, it would definitely be safer."

"Talking about it," Sanya turned her head, "you're back to your old village, right?"
