Elios can't do anything in this bound position. He was even given a free opportunity three times a day to go to the bathroom, at a time that Arkas had determined.
Eros did not rebel. The man spent the day sleeping until he woke up.
Someone came without a sound.
Eris. Elios could clearly recognize his brother even though both of his eyes were covered with iron. Only Eris could possibly be allowed by Arkas to come to this cell. After all, Elios' brother after Eirene was only Eris.
"My stupid brother." Eris's voice sounded faint.
Elios could imagine from behind the iron blindfold, Eris was sitting on the floor sucking on the smoke of spices. Just like Elios did when he ate with all his wives.
"Aren't you thinking about your pride even a little, Elios?" ask her.
Elios's mouth was also closed, so where could he possibly answer. But Eris must have known what Elios answered.
"Or are you deliberately trying to insult Eirene?" said Eris again.
Elios moving. Somewhat rebellious when the name of the lover as well as his twin is called.
"He told you to live well" Eris murmured. "The little sister asks that you uphold your name as Narendra, even if it's been uprooted."
Elios' shoulder is squeezed. It was like magic power. As Eris spoke, in a very calm tone, even Elios could not fight her.
He was never angry. But he never forgave.
"Elios." Suddenly a long hand reached for Elios' face. Eris fumbled until she could hold both of Elios' cheeks.
A pair of brothers who couldn't see each other felt like they could look at each other. Eris's eyes were blind, but Elios vividly remembered how his brother's eyes were as he stared at Elios.
When Elios made a mistake.
The iron rod in Elios' mouth prevented him from speaking. But his voice leaked as if he wanted to say something.
"I knew. I know, my sister, you didn't mean it." Eris rubbed Elios' hair gently. "But" he whispered, "it's still wrong, right?"
Elios is not afraid of Arkas. Honestly speaking, he was not even afraid of Uncle Leader. But Elios is afraid of Eris. He was always afraid of his brother until Elios often hid behind Eirene's back. Elios doesn't know why.
"Elios." Eris still continued to rub her head as if she thought Elios was a child. "Can I hear your apology? Apologize for doing something wrong."
Is correct. Maybe one of the reasons is this.
Eris never cared about the rule of 'Narendra should not apologize'. Eris's different. Eris often asked Narendra to apologize and Elios became one of the most heard of it.
"Elios." Eris stopped rubbing it. "I can see even if I'm blind, so don't worry. I can hear without a sound. Apologize properly."
Elios swallowed. He would not be beaten if he did not comply. Eris would never hurt him either. But that's what's scary. Eris made Elios not breathe until his request was fulfilled.
And Elios only feels that his life is in danger if Eris gets angry. Slowly, Elios' mouth opened between the iron between his teeth. He can't talk but if he can, he's apologizing now.
Excuse me. Sorry for doing wrong.
"It's good to hear you're aware of that." Eris sounded smiling. "But even if you apologize, Arkas still punishes you. How else. He's the First Young Master. He has the right to do it."
That's never gonna change. Even though Eris never said she agreed with Arkas, she never opposed Arkas either. And ... Eris's eyes were .. lost to Arkas.
"Because your punishment cannot be lifted, I think now you must make amends for it."
Elios' feelings are not good.
