Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
For Narendra
Acting fast when Eris does not have time to think memamg is the right way to fight Eris. When Eris is busy on Roxanne who is still unable to digest everything, Askala finally arrives at the Rose Castle.
From the window of the room, Elios who saw immediately stood up, feeling the tension as well as enthusiasm.
"He's with Arkas. Arkas took him" said Elios himself. "Eris never involved Askala in his actions."
"Young Master?"
It's variable. This is something Elios had been waiting for. Now he's just waiting for Askala to do something pretty crazy.
Whatever it takes, the origin is crazy enough to fight Eris.
On the other hand, Eris who was still holding Roxanne's hand just silently watched the woman fall asleep. Roxanne had just closed her eyes after she said her head was dizzy. Eris promises to be next to him, but Eris also keeps thinking of having to meet Sanya.
Amidst the frown, the door to Eris's room suddenly opened.
"I heard someone just woke up."
Eris was shocked to hear Askala's voice. Why is he here?
"I thought you were back in your palace" Eris told him. "Why did you come back?"
"Hm? Of course because I heard a very interesting situation."
The emphasis on Askala's voice makes Eris detect him as an enemy. Why is he like he's getting Eris into a fight?
"Why does Roxanne's situation appeal to Young Miss Narendra like you, Askala?" ask Eris, trying to understand.
"I'm not talking about that woman" Askala replied. "I'm talking about you."
"But me?"
Eris felt Askala standing in front of her but she was surprised Askala touched her face, directing Eris to look up.
If Eris had to remember, the only Narendra man who had never been within Askala's reach was Eris. There was never a time when Eris felt Askala's skin touch her except now.
"Hoh, look at this face. The face of the man who fell in love with his sister's old stuff."
Eris frowned. "You're free enough to talk about my love affairs now."
"To be honest I don't want to" said Askala, "but I remember Nernia."
Eris suddenly tense. Even though he did not see, Eris knew that Askala was now smiling broadly in front of his face.
"Why? Because Arkas was the first child and Narendra's rule says the first child is the absolute heir. Absolutely unless he dies" continued Askala.
Eris caught Askala's hand and intended to keep him away. But the woman's subsequent remark left Eris completely motionless again.
"Eirene died to keep the Narendra tradition. He doesn't want to change anything, just like you are so loyal to Narendra."
Askala laughed as she lowered her head into Eris' ear.
"But it seems like here is a traitor intent on changing Narendra's rules after everything that happened."
For the first time in history, Eris showed a deathly pale face. The man spontaneously said, "I'm not—"
Unfortunately before being able to dodge, Eris sensed danger approaching Roxanne and reflexively held her back.
The intense pain of giving up Eris' palm. The impact of his actions held back the knife that Askala wanted to point at Roxanne.
"Don't touch it" sizzled Eris wrathfully.
But Askala giggled. "You're a traitor."
"Skala."
"YOU'RE A TRAITOR!" askala shouted suddenly, as if his laughter had not been real. "YOU DARE TO INTRUDE ON NARENDRA'S RULE NOW THAT YOU KILLED NERNIA, GOUGING YOUR EYES OUT LIKE CRAZY AND ALSO IGNORING EIRENE'S DEATH?!"
Eris's pale face showed that Askala's words were difficult to refute.
"That's Elios' wife, Eris."
"No," argued Eris like a fool. "Roxanne doesn't belong to Elios."
"He belongs to Elios. I'll give him back to Elios."
"Ascale!"
"I like Nernia." Askala smiled haughtily. "I really, really liked Nernia from everyone I've met in my life but you killed her for 'DEMI Narendra'. If that is the case, return the woman behind you to Elios because it's Narendra's rule or . I'm asking Dad for a trial. You know your weakest side."
Eris clenched her teeth tightly as she knew Askala was turning away.
Goddamnit! Why did Askala suddenly interfere in all this? Don't tell me he's taking Elios' side?
