Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
97

Sanya sees Roxanne standing with Eris from a distance. He was unable to get close, as a firm order was handed down from the First Young Master not to harass Roxanne now, whatever the reason.

"I hope Brother Roxanne can be a little aware of it." Sanya muttered little. "Silver is very easily affected and cheated."

Well, it's impossible to realize who that man is unless he confesses to himself. Sanya even needed some time to know that she was the Second Young Master.

A dangerous man and much different from Elios. The man had a genuine and real tenderness, different from Elios' falsehood. But precisely because of that, he was much more difficult to deal with.

He could love very sincerely while killing.

"He took out his own eyes to stop Arkas from being deposed." Sanya sighed. "A scary opponent. You have to be careful."

But it looks ... Roxanne has fallen into Eris's grasp.

"Diorist."

The man instantly appeared as soon as Eris mentioned his name. "Here, Young Master."

Dioris loyalty was certainly given to a certain Eirene, as her personal bodyguard. But among all Narendra, Dioris in particular also respected Eris and devoted much of her time to the duties of the man.

Including now.

"Roxanne's already started asking for Elios." Eris felt her bed to lie down. "Go and do something about it."

"Please pardon. To clarify, are you asking me to magnify Roxanne's interest in you?"

"true."

"I understand. In that case, I assume you also asked me not to demonize Young Master Elios and do it naturally."

"true."

"good. Your orders are fully I understand." Dioris immediately left, leaving Eris to rest alone.

In that solitude and darkness, there was a lot going through Eris's mind.

There were so many things he couldn't tell anyone. It may be hard to find who really understands.

"Are you not supposed to rest?" ask someone suddenly.

Roxanne flinched until unconsciously turned her face too tight. It made his head unusually sick and buzzing. But he also focused on seeing who was coming.

Hah, after such a long time lost, he came again.

"The insolent." Roxanne clucked. "I wish you never showed up in front of me again."

"I'll take that as a longing." Dioris replied that she didn't care.

"You're a person with a lot of problems" he replied insolently as usual, "so if it's not being watched, I don't know what else is going on. This whole place could've burned because of you."

Roxanne glares. "Stop talking like I burned it all!"

"Isn't that right?"

Roxanne's stunned. Don't tell me he knows that Sanya—

"Either true or not, but in reality there are many problems after your arrival." The brash man stared cynically. "From attempted murder, the castle burned, this and that are all problems. Fucking bearer."

Who wants to be the reason for all this!

Roxanne clenched her hands but could not answer. Even if he is hurt to be called an unlucky carrier, does he want to understand?

"I often see you looking at the sky with a grim expression" he said.

Roxanne. "Thank you for observing an unlucky carrier like me. If you have, can you leave because I feel bad luck so multiply if you exist?"

The man didn't listen and kept saying what he wanted to say.

"I often feel like you're even lying to yourself." The man smiled slantedly. "Like: ah, I hate being here, I don't want to be here, but in fact I'm here because I'm forced to."

"Shut up." Roxanne turned away in anger. How dare he now taunt Roxanne about his life, when he was just a stranger who was crazy about Eirene.

Damnit damnit! Him and Elios—

"When you know yourself, Roxanne, that you're the one who wants to be here."

"I said diam—"

"Pretend to be persecuted when not worthy enough to be appreciated." The man grinned. "You're not sold by anyone. You were not bought by anyone. You are the one who sells and buys yourself. Who treats yourself as that stuff you. Not anyone."

Roxanne's eyes lit up with anger just as her tears fell.

How dare this stranger! From the beginning he always did!

"Your Eirene life must be so comfortable that you can say such a thing."

Roxanne hated her voice shaking because it showed her how much she was jealous of Eirene.

"She was already born as a princess so of course she didn't have to put in much effort. Everyone loves her naturally," Roxanne muttered trembling.

The insolent man smiled instead. "So you think you'd be loved too if you were born Miss Eirene?"

The smile seemed to say that Roxanne would not be loved even if she was born as Narendra.
