Iaros was born a king. Although he was not the main heir like Aether, Iaros was still a Narendra. The difference between Narendra's heir and last son is not that far. It's all about who will be the head of the family, while the position and weight of their words remain the same.
Therefore if Iaros had already decided something was his, he was used to being sure that to the death it was his.
Kamila is his.
She is not a girl to be touched by anyone other than herself.
That's why, that night, when Iaros tore through the chest of Kamila's future husband, killing him right in front of Kamila and Lily's eyes, Iaros did not feel wrong.
Iaros felt he was telling them something they should know.
Although Kamila's expression suddenly changed as if she was looking at a monster, Iaros did not care.
His must know that he belongs to Iaros.

Kamila tried to catch her hunting breath.
He woke up from a nightmare. A dream that made him feel like vomiting by a feeling of disgust.
Not wanting to dissolve in the feeling of being swayed, Kamila decided to go down. Sitting on the cold floor looking at his shackled hands and feet.
"If I wasn't Narendra, I'd never be able to touch you." Kamila muttered at the emptiness of her confinement. "But when I was Narendra, I had to be stuck in a position of not being able to have you."
From the beginning he and Iaros were never destined. All that was just a momentary sense of a child who was too often together to get carried away in forbidden desires.
Kamila stayed there for a very long time, before she moved towards the wall that was holding her back from everywhere. The door could not open, but Kamila could see from outside the windows of the dark passageways whose light was breaking through to this place.
Where is this?
Are they looking for him?
Is there anyone from Narendra looking for him?
Or just not there?
"Mom hates me." Kamila put her forehead on the wall and cried lonely. "Lily hates me too. No one cares about me. Why look for me?"
Is this place going to be her confinement for life now? He's got to stay here for the rest of his life?
"Camila."
He looked up at the open ceiling, displaying the figure of Iaros in casual clothing that Kamila had never seen used by Narendra.
They always wear clothes that are made especially for them.
"What are you doing?" Iaros crouched on the edge, looking at him with the impression he cared. "It's already night. Sleep on."
Who can sleep peacefully when their hands and feet are shackled?
Kamila. I felt that incredible headache coming. For some reason he suddenly remembered the diary of Kamila his ancestor.
"Daily book," he said hoarsely. "You brought him?"
Unexpectedly, Iaros went and took the book. Even if he didn't throw it down.
Iaros sat on the edge, letting his feet hang on the walls of Kamila's confinement.
The man looked at her among the atmosphere of friends. "A bastard wife of Narendra."
"Why is your name the same as her?"
".... My mom loves Trika Narendra."
"But he's a bastard. Why not the Emperor or Ares?"
"Iaros is his favorite son." Iaros smiled faintly. "Son of his brother."
Kamila's stunned.
"Trika Narendra committed adultery with her brother. Iaros was born a year after Kamila, the illegitimate son of Luka Narendra. You know who made the tradition of silent inbreeding in the Narendra family? That's Trika. Although Luka and Lio Narendra, the founders of Narendra knew that Iaros was the son of a pair of siblings, they let him live."
"...."
"Then do you know why Trika Narendra decided to die after the wedding of her last son?"
"...."
"That's because Iaros and Lissa are repeating the same love affair between Trika and her brother."
Kamila. In that case, in the story of Iaros and Lissa, Kamila who loved him was only a bully?
"Camila."
Kamila's mouth won't answer.
"Do you think loving your brother is disgusting?"
Kamila's lips inevitably put together a bitter smile.
If she was in Lissa Makaria Narendra's position back then, maybe Kamila could understand her. Whoever they were, when it was Narendra's woman who wasn't their wife, then the world one could see was only the world within the confinement castle.
"No." Kamila. "Not if it's not stifling."
*
Iaros eyes looked at him dingjn.
No, saying?
"I consider you my brother."
"Then just love me as a brother!"
"I consider you a brother precisely because I can't!"
You mean I'm stifling?
Iaros gripped the powerful diary in his hand. Just silently watching Kamila there, bowed pitifully.
To be honest, Iaros wished that he and Kamila would actually be brothers. Because if so, Iaros could be free to have it as Iaros used to be free to have Lissa even though they had the same mother.
In fact their love that was hindered by this half and pure bloodline was much more infuriating.
