Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
8. First Lady

Roxanne had nightmares even during the day after that.

The girl did not dare to go out of the stuff room just a little. He was afraid that if he came out, Elios knew he would kill Roxanne.

According to common sense, there should be at least one reason someone was killed, but according to his feelings fear does not need a logical reason to appear.

Roxanne was only scared until she cried hoping to go home.

The slum with Mom is much better at least mentally.

Until then ....

"Mrs." The waiter knocked on Roxanne's room door. "Mrs First come to see you."

Fear often comes true.

Roxanne could only hold her breath seeing that the door she had locked opened, followed by the appearance of a long silver-haired woman.

Thick hair. It was so dense and well-groomed that the phrase hair was the crown it fit so well with.

The woman looked at Roxanne with graceful eyes but also not much expression.

The first wife of a monster. The woman who endured the insults was pitted against twelve women afterwards.

Obviously he's not normal.

"I heard you were sick to the point of not touching the food at the door." The woman walked over to the bed, making Roxanne secretly tremble.

Of course he tried hard not to look weak, but the tension in his eyes could not be hidden.

Did he represent Elios killing Roxanne?

"Your name is Roxanne, right?"

The woman reached out, touching Roxanne's face.

"Your face is as beautiful as your name, but you are still full of stupid and pathetic demeanor. Maybe because I'm young."

Roxanne just held her breath.

And it seemed like the First Madam was aware.

"If it was about the incident the other day," the woman sat down on the chair the maid had brought, "forget it. It happened because Young Master was just being distracted."

Only a psychopath kills someone for such a trivial reason is disturbed.

But, Roxanne catches this woman's point. He tried to say don't be pathetic. Just pretend nothing happened.

"Good." Roxanne bit her tongue, angry at the trembling voice.

Can't be weak. He must survive according to his mother.

"Nothing happened the other day." Roxanne answered for sure. "It's nice to meet ...."

"No need for formal. Formality is a Narendra tradition. I'm not Miss Narendra but Yasa."

"Yes, so am I." He answered without expression.

He turned to his servant for a signal to bring food. "Eat. There's no doctor here, so even if it hurts, we're used to recovering without medication. Take care of yourself."

"Good." Roxanne ate it even when she didn't want to.

He said eat, so eat.

"Then besides, Roxanne."

"Yes?" Roxanne answered quickly.

"Young Master hates people who are passionate about him."

Roxanne suddenly froze in place.

Without the slightest bit of pleasantry before starting, the First Lady immediately said clearly what Roxanne needed to know.

"All Young Master's wives have their own desires for him. Want his good looks, want his wealth, want his precious offspring, or whatever else."

First Madam, Graean, stood up from that chair. Take out a luxurious pot containing purple roses, then put it on the bedside table.

"Young Master knows. No one moves without desire. Even people who worship God expect them to go to heaven. Replies from their worship."

Then why—

"But the Young Master is unwilling to care about such a thing and still hates what has happened. He knew someone would hope, so he asked not to hope because it was annoying. That's it."

Roxanne gulped. Suddenly he could not swallow food and wanted to vomit suddenly.

It's menace. Clear threat.

"If you want Young Master's wealth," Graean turned his face to Roxanne, "you should look like you want nothing. That way your life is assured."

....

That again.

Another half explanation.

Just like Diane.

"Is that all?" Roxanne looked at him sharply all of a sudden. "I get diamonds and rare gems, dresses and fancy food, to live like a rat?"

It's nonsense.

"I've lived like that before coming here, but why is it that nobody out there gives me gems and dresses?"

This kindness is so generous.

Then he thinks Roxanne believes it?
