Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
63

"What's wrong with your ears?" Roxanne is shocked when she finds Elios sitting in a white kimono filled with blood.

Blood was flowing from his ears. Elios' right ear was slightly split, and Roxanne could not believe she was sitting there as if nothing had happened.

"Wait a minute. I'll call First Madam."

But as he was about to turn, Roxanne's hand was pulled up into Elios's lap.

The man who kept his eyes closed with a white cloth stroked Roxanne's face. Suddenly kissed her lips, licking her tongue like she was thirsty.

Roxanne hates it every time Elios does that, her body feels hot as if responding.

And most annoyingly, even though he knew there was hidden intent, he kept making Roxanne unable to resist it even a little.

Just a little, for God's sake!

"There's a phrase in Narendra that I heard from Mother." Elios rubbed the top of his chest with a heavy sigh. "He said, if a Narendra is wounded and his blood is shed, it is a service if his wife licks the blood to the end."

Roxanne who had difficulty breathing by passion immediately sculpted.

His eyes looked at Elios with confidence that he was completely out of his mind.

Elios suddenly laughed. "I'm serious, but it's a metaphor. Why call Graean if you can do it yourself?"

Basic cobbler. Just tell me what's the trouble, anyway?

Roxanne didn't hide that upset. Move from Elios' lap to go into the bathroom, get a towel and water at least to wash away the blood.

Of his many bloods, Elios had been wounded long enough.

"It's easy to hurt anyone in your family." Roxanne sneered cynically. "Sister beat his sister, husband strangled his wife, another wife framed her other husband's wife again. Loving as the First Young Master said."

"Trusting Arkas is a folly that will last seven generations."

And believing in Elios is a folly that will pass down through the generations to the end of time.

"My wife, she's a woo." Elios muttered as his hand stroked Roxanne's waist. "She's going to say love to all the women she meets. That's how she is. Better stay away from perverted men like Arkas."

"His wife is only six while you're thirteen."

"Because Narendra's wife's limit is only six." Elios laid his face on Roxanne's shoulder. Maybe he heard that Roxanne's heart was beating fast. "I am Yasa. There are no limits for me."

Then he'd say he's better?

Roxanne chose to focus on cleaning the blood in Elios' ear. Now it looks clear the tear is quite deep. It even felt like it had to be stitched up or it would be forever like that.

"You better be treated. I don't know how to sew a wound."

"You hate to see me get hurt?"

"Stop talking disgusting." Roxanne replied coldly. "You once strangled me and it wasn't just once. Then you want me to worry?"

"You once strangled me too. And got me punished for a month. It's too expensive to pay for my wife's mistakes, as long as you know."

"After a second thought," Roxanne put the wet towel full of blood into the basin, "You seem to be fine so there's no need to treat."

Elios becomes very chatty when he lies so Roxanne is lazy to serve him. Talking to someone too much can always be a weakness, especially women.

Roxanne won't let her guard down.

"Then, if you don't want to do anything yet, I want to discuss something."

Elios pulled Roxanne back into his lap. Then she stroked Roxanne's hair as if she were a doll. "What discussion is that?"

Of course, Roxanne had to remind herself.

Enjoy not be lulled. Being pleased with his gentle demeanor is not wrong, but do not be deceived.

It is like if he gives water then accept but if he gives poison then refuse.

Roxanne became quite calm after thinking about it. He will enjoy the tenderness of Elios from now on but will not be fooled that all this is sincere.

It's bogus.

"Regarding your wife, Sanya."

"However?"

"Sleep with Sanya after me. On the next turn, pick him."

Eyes have to be returned, right?
