Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
Not Elios but Eris

Eris came to Arkas who was sitting looking at the face painting of Eirene. He's at the altar. The place they would come one by one, undergoing a ritual of reverence.

Among the crowd of families who were happy to gather them, Arkas could not help but have a grim expression on his face.

He handed over the entire command of the show to his wife. I really want to be quiet, watching everything.

"I want to cry" Arkas murmured as he felt Eris' presence. "I don't accept this. How can I celebrate my sister's death? He still exists. He must still be here."

"really. Eirene was sleeping soundly in the Star Castle. Dioris is with him tonight."

"You answered that easily." Arkas laughed woefully. "You always do that. I can't."

"I know." Eris extended her hand to Arkas. "Come on. The ritual will begin soon. If you want to participate, I'll ask Uncle to make you the first. But if not, Elios will take that right."

Arkas clenched his hands tightly until he looked trembling. Even though he was so hard he held back on his emotions,

"I have to what?" murmured Arkas received Eris' hand. "Should I pretend to smile at them as the First Young Master?"

"No. I told you to take a break tonight." Eris touched Arkas' cheek and smiled. "What if this is? Follow the ritual and secretly go to the Star Castle. This is your chance to spend some time together after all this time."

Of course Arkas does not know if behind all that, Eris keeps other intentions.

Arkas was too tired to guess.

Roxanne actually imagines many things when the word ritual is spoken. But Narendra had no religion until the ritual in his shadow was broken. These rituals are specifically created and interpreted by themselves.

After Arcas began, Roxanne and Elios walked up the altar in heavy clothing. They were each given a number of black roses, then walked up to the lined frame where there were pictures of Eirene and people Roxanne was unfamiliar with.

For a moment, Elios stopped right in front of Eirene's painting. The man looked up at him. There was clearly a blob of emotion there and Roxanne felt it was anger.

That's when ..all of a sudden, the whole lamp goes out. Everyone seemed surprised even though the lanterns could illuminate the entire area. But what was most shocking was the sound of melodious singing suddenly being heard.

Roxanne sees Elios frozen.

"Eri?"

The soft chant caressed their entire ears. Roxanne felt her heart rumble at the sound of crying suddenly breaking from all over the place.

"Young Master."

Roxanne's voice was like Elios's jerking. He looked as if he could not believe Roxanne was beside him.

"Eri always sings when she's happy or sad." Elios grimaces sick. "Sorry, Wife. Excuse me. I'm sorry I cried for Eri in front of you."

Tears flooded Roxanne. No, it's not like that. He's doing just fine. Elios has every right to love his sister. He lost the girl and can now only mourn her death.

"You have the right to cry." Roxanne couldn't see Elios like this. "Don't feel guilty. Please be sad for your sister."

Elios cried sobbing. Trembling hugged Roxanne until maybe she forgot that Roxanne's hand bone was broken.

But Roxanne was silent. Just hold up for Elios, tonight.

"It cannot be underestimated." Sanya slipped as everyone was reminiscing about going quietly to the gate. "Well, Elios can't be underestimated. He could have played Eirene's voice just to attract Brother. I'll be a pity."

Looking at Roxanne, more precisely.

But it was a pity that Sanya could not comfort Roxanne later because she had to go to the Star Castle now. As everyone was busy reminiscing about the dead, the dead man's corpse was lying comfortably in the Star Castle.

There was no way Sanya could go there alone, while all of Elios' wives were Rapunzel in the tower. That's why Askala bothered to help her go quietly.

"Sorry, Brother." Sanya jumps up to a helicopter located far from Narendra land. "Please comfort yourself later. I'll entertain you later after my work is done."

Take Eirene's body. It was the most important step in mastering this family heir. As well as the things that determine the success of Sanya's plan in the future.

Although maybe Sanya did not know that the one who played the voice of Eirene was not Elios.

Sanya thought that it was Elios, to draw Roxanne's attention all the way deep before she poured mud onto her face.

Unfortunately, that was Eris. With a lot of careful consideration.
