Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
90

What does it mean that he is only called based on numbers? Narendra has a lot of strange things so in fact it's not surprising.

Funny thing is, this handsome guy in the Narendra family is just a worker. Roxanne snorted silently as she looked at that face.

He's not as handsome as Elios, but he looks special almost like Arkas. Usually the worker does not look like his master, but in Narendra, the servant and master both look beautiful.

"Sorry, Dwi, but I want to make sure there's no misunderstanding."

"Narendra is not apologizing, Madam."

"I know." Roxanne cleared her throat. "I mean, your eyes, that's ....?"

"Ah, this? Yeah, I didn't see. Both my eyeballs are absent."

Roxanne felt guilty. Even so, he was grateful to have asked because it was important to make sure.

"You're still handsome even without eyes." Roxanne smile. "Of course, that's a sincere compliment. Please don't take it personally."

Dwi also smiled gently. "Don't worry, Madam. I'm proud of myself."

Looks like he's a good guy. Roxanne had been feeling extremely insane since entering the Elios residence, so to be honest she missed a normal person. This human like Dwi made Roxanne able to smile with relief.

"By the way, you didn't go to a big meeting? All of Elios' wives should be invited."

It was a little strange that he called Elios by name alone, but Roxanne from the beginning did not care if Elios was called just a name or trash.

"I don't care about that." Roxanne tells him honestly while stroking the cat near Dwi's feet. "I'm sick anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"So that's it." Dwi smiled again. "There's no denying Narendra meetings are sometimes annoying, especially if they're not used to it."

"Yes." Yeah." Roxanne carefully arranged the position of her hands so that the infusion was not problematic, but also focused on Dwi's calm face.

The warm impression around her made Roxanne a spirit.

"Hey, how many of them are there? I mean, Narendra."

"Hmmm, quite a lot," the man replied in a pleasant tone. "Overall, Narendra numbered two hundred. Counting from the previous generation, the leader generation and the present generation."

"I'm confused."

"There are two hundred living and of different ages."

Roxanne chuckled, though nothing funny. "Very many people turned out."

"Even if it is limited," replied Dwi kindly. "If Narendra's birth had not been arranged, I was pretty sure there would have been a thousand of us. There are very many wives of Narendra from every one of Narendra."

"Considerate. Elios even had thirteen wives."

"Elios a different case." The Dwi turned his head and seemed to see Roxanne even though her eyes were tightly closed. "Well, I guess now everyone is trying to pick a replacement for the Graean."

Roxanne gasped at hearing that. "Mistress Graean's replacement?"

But then he was made to be jolted again by the voice of Dwi.

"Roxanne," call him full of seriousness, "to call a traitor by his honorary title is a small betrayal. From now on she's just Graean, not Madam."

Not only was dying pitiful, Graean was no longer even allowed to be called a mistress? Sanya killed him but everyone called Graean a sinner.

"really. I mean Graean." Roxanne would eventually have to do the same.

Eris can't see with her eyes, but no one ever said Eris didn't see anything.

From the rhythm of the breath, the temperature pressure, the vibration of the sound and Roxanne's answer just now, Eris could deduce many things.

First, he wasn't the Graean killer or the one who blew up Elios' castle. Second, he knew something about it and felt guilty. Third, he had no ability whatsoever to do dangerous things.

Interestingly he was always at the center of every problem that arose around Elios.

The poor boy.

"You want Elios?"

"Eh?"

Eris stroked the small cat meowing in her hand as she looked towards Roxanne.

"That's something normal in this residence. Narendra's wife wants their Young Master's love. Without that love Narendra's wife would have everything, including night time, but getting her own love would have been like completing perfection."

"Because of that all Narendra's wives are still vying for the attention of their Young Master. The more loved they are, the more special they will be."

"I asked if you wanted that too."

Actually Eris thought she would say yes, because Eris guessed that Roxanne was one of the girls who thought straight like that.

Not wrong. Not weird at all.

But ....

"I guess I used to." That's what he said. "I don't want to."

"Why?" Eris was really curious about it. For he became one of the most knowledgeable of how handsome his foolish sister was.

It's hard to find a girl who doesn't want to even if she's already suffocated.

"Too hard."

"Hm?"

"Competing with Eirene who was too beautiful, it was futile. Then Elios, he said he was infatuated with Eirene because of her beauty. That's too hard for a normal me, right?"

What kind of desperate reason is that?

Eris could not help herself but laugh out loud.
