Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
78

Roxanne won't pretend to like Elios because she's lazy. However, to stay by Elios' side, Roxanne needs a reason, and Elios' face is reason enough. This face will be treated like a favorite thing, and should not be scratched by anything. Roxanne likes to see it.

"Your face is far more precious than jewels" Roxanne said, caressing Elios' cheek. Tracing the line of the nose to his eyebrows, then back to the cheek and pressing the corner of his lips. "It shouldn't hurt at all."

Yes, Roxanne would not treat Elios as a human being, but rather as a handsome statue that could not be ignored.

"My face, hm?" Elios gave a small smile without looking offended by Roxanne's remark. "I don't mind letting my wife look at him."

"That's right, ma'am," Daniel said with a smile. "The face of this man is one of the interesting things about him. Of course it's just his face that's nice to see."

Roxanne secretly glances at Daniel, hoping he knows if it's also a fake attitude or not.

"Yes" said Roxanne. "Obviously it's not that easy. There's something I want to hear right now, Elios."

Elios' face was soft even though his eyes were invisible. Now Roxanne is convinced that this man, Elios, is actually very good at pretending. Though his character did not match that, but how he without gaps looked to love Roxanne was scary.

Wrong for a bit, Roxanne will definitely be blown away.

"Say anything. I'll try to answer that."

"Eirene."

But Elios seemed to have strong feelings for Eirene. Every time the name was mentioned, his expression disappeared for a moment.

"How did your relationship and her work?" ask Roxanne.

Right after the question, Elios turned to Daniel. Roxanne tries to see if there is any emotion from Elios's movements, but she just smiles. "Daniel, go. I want to talk to my wife privately."

"of course. Enjoy your time, Madam."

Roxanne sees Daniel leave without a refusal. Inevitably made him think that it was sincerity.

It gets complicated. Should Elios lie so far?

"Eri," said Elios with a faint smile, "is the first girl I ever loved."

Elios in Roxanne's mind was not Elios telling strangers about such things. Elios who Roxanne knew would surely smile vilely choking her while saying that Roxanne was a pest who knew no place, and it was not important to know who her Eri was first.

"I'm from the ordinary people" said Roxanne, and she would hear how far Elios would go. "The story between brothers is forbidden, so I can't easily understand even if you say he's your first love."

"yes too. I forgot about the difference. Then, my wife, you want to hear the story from the beginning?"

"Early?"

"The beginning of why inbreeding became commonplace in the Narendra family."

Roxanne blinked her eyes. At first glance he knew from Arkas, but heard Elios telling him too... Is he serious?

"How's it?" roxanne said while trying to hear everything and understand everything.

"Hmmmm," Elios said as he folded his arms as he began to tell a story. "Everything starts with Mrs Narendra First."

"Mrs Narendra First?"

"It would be long if I had to explain it, but briefly, after Lio Narendra slaughtered the Yasa family and changed it to Narendra, Luka Narendra, the younger brother of Lio and Trika Narendra, the wife of Luka, and the wife of Luka, set as a leader towards a new generation."

"Al Narendra, their son, is the man recorded in our history books as the first leader, but Lio Narendra, his wife, then Luka and Trika, is referred to as the four founders. We call them First Leaders."

From the beginning it was very complicated. It seems like this family was indeed seriously created by those people called Elios.

"At the time of the founding fathers' rule, the current rules have not been applied. Luka Narendra, as the heir, married only one woman, as well as Lio Narendra as the leader at that time. This family structure is still a plan, because it's pretty much a mistake due to freedom."

"Hmmm," said Roxanne who did not understand.

"Then in short, came the day that Trika Narendra gave birth to the child of her eldest brother from the family before Narendra."

"But didn't Narendra's wife have no family?"

"Because that's why I call it a mistake. Trika Narendra is not from a farm. He's from the common people."

"Like us?"

"Right, the history is almost the same as yours, my wife, other than Graean. You were bought or picked up to be Narendra's wife on condition of severing your familial relationship with anyone."

At that moment, Roxanne suddenly tensed up. Somehow his brain even twisted Sanya's words about her intentions.

"I want to make Elios ruler."
