For the past few days, Elios has been wearing a semi-transparent eye patch. It was a white-colored blindfold that made him able to see but was very vague and was only a faint shadow.
Elios used it so that none of the faces he saw thought he was Eirene.
Unworthy. It was truly unworthy of someone in this residence to be his Eirene.
This morning Elios decided to take a walk in the park alone. Looking for fresh air while relaxing before taking care of his work at eight.
Although he was not accompanied by anyone and his eyes were closed, Elios had memorized the entire corner of his own castle. So he can't go wrong in stepping.
But it felt like just a moment to smell Eirene's favorite rose garden, Elios felt someone approaching.
"Well from around me" Elios murmured coldly. He can't be sure who Graean is or who, but he's obviously gone. "You didn't hear or need your ears cut off?"
Suddenly, Elios heard a laugh.
No, it was just the sound of someone holding back a laugh but it was clearly laughing at Elios.
"Young Master."
"Roxanne's." Elios instantly recognized the annoying voice.
In this house, right now, Elios hates him the most. He hated her for her whole existence.
"Don't you miss me, Young Master?"
What other problems would this annoying woman want to make?
"I think I should get you out of the world, Roxanne."
"Anda—ah, no. You want to do it, E-li?"
Elios' whole body stiffened.
At that instant, it only took that one word, Elios understood everything.
So him! He claimed to be Eirene and told Elios to take the medicine from her hand.
"Roxanne's." Elios murmured lowly. "Your death won't be easy."
From his voice Elios could already deduce where he stood. Elios only needed to turn around, walking a few steps to catch a duet from behind his blindfold.
Just in case, Elios will still wear this blindfold. But he doesn't need to open it just to kill pests.
Just as Elios's hand was about to grab him, Roxanne's cold voice swept through Elios' sharp hearing.
"Sad man."
Clearly, Elios was stunned to hear that presumptuous remark.
"You—"
"Eri left you because you were worthless, didn't she?"

Roxanne was very satisfied as she was finally able to speak casually. He had waited days to tell Elios directly.
Of course, today Roxanne wasn't planning to commit suicide.
"They mess with Eri, Eri, Eri all the time" Roxanne whispered with a humbling smile. "Hey, girls leave a man useless even if he's as handsome as an angel, stupid."
Roxanne's neck was immediately suffocated by that rough hand again. This time, Elios' hateful expression even radiated behind his blindfold.
But instead of being scared, Roxanne laughed.
"Just do it again for First Young Master to punish you again."
Elios tightened his strangulation. "So because of Arkas you think you can survive me, huh?! Women are useless! I can kill you when I want and Arkas has nothing to do with it!"
Roxanne laughed even more between her pale face. "You're depending on Arkas."
"Roxenne!"
"Eri's in his hands, right?"
Arkas said it himself. The Arkas who told Roxanne that Elios' weakness was in Arkas's hands, Eirene was with him, so Elios would always listen to him.
Even if Elios doesn't want to admit, the fact is that he's afraid of Arkas. Afraid that the Eirene in Arkas's hands did not return to his.
"Elios, I realize you're completely useless to me right now."
Roxanne brushed off that hand easily as she was busy being surprised.
"You also depend on someone. Come to think of it, you were called Young Master also because of someone, not because you were worthy. Hah, you poor fellow."
Roxanne pushed Elios with all her strength. Satisfied to see when Elios fell backwards.
Not wanting the opportunity to be lost, Roxanne climbed on top of her body, strangling Elios. Not strong, but enough to surprise him.
"Leaved by Eirene, banished from a respectable family, your name was changed to insults, even your movements were closely watched by your brother who was angry with you."
"Elios, stop acting as king. You're a loser."
