Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
21. Roxanne's Mistake

"What makdud are you lovers?"

"Is there any other meaning?"

Roxanne unintentionally raised her own voice in shock. "But they're twins!"

Then it ended up choking by its own cough because of the scream earlier.

Arkas grabs Roxanne to help her breathe better. Instructs to slowly draw and exhale so that his neck and throat are not tense.

"The incest relationship in this family has its roots from the beginning." Arkas spoke calmly as he continued to pat Roxanne on the back. "Whether it's a mother, a father, or a father and a mother, everything has happened a long time ago."

So he said, the special woman for Elios is his own sister?!

"Of course, we don't legalize inbreeding. Narendra's woman is not married and that's absolute. But, relating to his brothers is a woman's right Narendra."

Roxanne did not want to feel pain again until she decided not to be surprised, even though she really wanted to.

"Then ...."

"I don't want to tell you what's going on, but the point is that there was one incident that made Eirene decide to end her life. He stabbed his own heart in front of Elios. Elios didn't kill him."

There's still something.

Diane clearly said that this First Young Master would kill Elios if only she had the chance. If Elios had done nothing wrong, he would not have alienated his own brother.

Almost Roxanne thought that Elios' sin was to love his younger brother, his twin sister. But it turned out that it was not even considered a sin by them.

Then something bigger must have happened.

"Elios is very sensitive about Eirene. The floor was filled with paintings and Eirene's relics. That's why he doesn't like it when someone goes up there without permission."

Only Graean can get there, right? Then Graean already knows exactly the story.

"So, the point is," Arkas encouraged Roxanne to sit on the bed upon arrival in the room, "I told you to approach the boy but not sacrifice your own life. Approach Elios without disturbing his twin. Besides, Elios will keep his word."

"Why are you confident? Young Master choked me even after being threatened."

Arkas passed away. "I told you as long as it's not the twin. And," he paused for a moment, "Eirene in my hands so she must obey."

After Arkas leaves, he tells Roxanne that he can go upstairs to see Elios.

Of course, at first Roxanne did not know why she had to go see the man who strangled her until Roxanne's neck was injured, but in the end Roxanne went up to look.

No, maybe very sad?

His face was injured as if beaten, while his body was actually held by shackles in a standing position, like being crucified.

He seemed to be sleeping, because his breathing was blowing regularly even though both hands, feet, stomach to his neck were ironed.

"You let me down, Roxanne."

It was spoken from the Graean mouth that entered with a basin of warm water.

"Loved?" Roxanne. "What am I doing?"

"You still ask after seeing Young Master in this condition?"

"You mean it's my fault?"

"I think so." Graean did not hide at all the displeased eyes.

It seems that he was really disappointed and took this as an affirmation that Roxanne was a bitch.

"You don't understand how to be a slave."

Graean squeezed the warm water out of the towel, then went to wipe Elios' body.

"Not only do you enjoy making your master angry, but you also humiliate your master and show the seeds of treason."

Roxanne was silent.

"At that time, you were talking about how all your facilities should be paid, right? You don't seem to want to pay. You don't even know how to keep your mouth shut or act like a rat."

It seems he alluded to how Roxanne angered Arkas and defended him.

And damn it's true. Roxanne only realized that she did not show her attitude as a slave at all.

He rebelled from his own master in violation of what Mother had commanded.

"Roxanne, I can't touch you because of First Young Master."

When Graean glanced at Roxanne, he inexplicably held his breath in fear.

"But one day, you will pay for what you did to make Young Master like this."
