Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
125

"You waiting here?" Arkas reached out to Eris to stand up from his position. "It should just come back. I just slept—no, I rested a little with Roxanne. Not more."

Eris raised an eyebrow. "I don't suspect."

Although the holy word is heavy, you could say Arkas is a holy man. He never slept with his sister until now and just hugged his wife. Maybe the servant didn't either. So Eris doesn't think she's going to do anything.

"Go first." Eris releases Arkas's hand. "I want to talk to Roxanne."

After making sure Arkas was okay, Eris passed to Roxanne's room. Eris easily reached the room, sliding the door open.

"Young Master." Roxanne calls her title cold. "If he's looking for the First Young Master, he's gone."

"I knew. I just met Arkas."

"Then please go. I must prepare to visit Young Master Elios. I heard he was free."

Eris stepped in, contrary to Roxanne's request. His hand shifted the closed door, coming towards where he sensed Roxanne's existence.

Just as Eris was about to grab it, Roxanne dodged.

"If you want to lock me up again, First Young Master has already said that I may meet Young Master Elios."

Eris had no intention of locking him up. That's not very useful anymore.

"You're mad at me?" Eris heard Roxanne's footsteps turning away from her. "You really hate me now, Roxanne?"

"Eitherway. I don't think about that kind of thing."

It's chilly. Eris believes that she has never heard such a cold sentence from a woman except Roxanne. And from his voice, Eris felt she hated him.

Really hate. It is not just hatred in which there is love or doubt.

"Don't stay away from me." Eris turned. He turned back towards Roxanne. "Tell me something that's bothering you from me. Not away."

"Why should I approach you? You don't like my husband."

"I'm not talking about Elios."

"I'm attached to Young Master Elios."

When Roxanne left, Eris was just pensive. His open and closed arms felt Roxanne's handprints there, when he had no idea who Eris was.

I thought he would be angry, but I didn't think it was like this.

After dressing up, Roxanne soon found Elios. He said he was in the Southern building and all his wives would be together.

This was Roxanne's chance to approach Elios directly.

"Young Master." In front of his entire wife, Roxanne draws near to Elios' confession. "During not meeting. Forgive me for not doing your duty as your wife well."

Elios touched Roxanne's face. Caress her cheeks and smile. "I'm the one who made you have to live a horrible life. Don't apologize."

A gentle smile on Roxanne's face greeted Elios' caress on her face. But Roxanne secretly glances at Mariana, only to be sure what she is.

It seems that Mariana wanted to occupy the Graean position after her death. Too bad, Roxanne's not that good at handing something over now. Elios belongs to Roxanne.

"Is there anything you want to say now, Young Master?" ask Roxanne gently.

"Hm? No. gabe. There aren't. I just want to make sure you're doing it."

"really? Then I hope you accept my appeal," said Roxanne eagerly.

Elios laughed a little. "I really meant to do that. Stay here tonight."

"Thank you."

"All of you. I will visit you one by one. I've had the waiter prepare a room for you."

Roxanne didn't expect that, but she didn't really care. "Please allow me to serve you first."

That's enough. To be clear that he is in first position.

"certain. I mean that."
