The Fate of Narendra Women
53. Kamila's honesty

Aether handed the exterior of her clothes to the servant before sitting across from the casual table, where all her seats were now filled by Hephaestus and Zephyrus and Camilla.

For Kamila's problem, in order not to interfere too much with the holiday process, Aether did not involve anyone else but his two brothers.

"I didn't say it just now, but your request to marry Dionysus could not be approved."

Kamila was silent. He already knows. Actually he was a bit sorry to say that.

"I also postponed this question from the beginning." Hephaestus directed Kamila's face to look at him. "Actually what kind of emotional game are you playing in the back?"

The three of them just waited for Kamila's reaction in silence.

To be honest, the conversation about love is taboo in Narendra. Of course Aether loved his wife, Hephaestus loved his wife, and Zephyrus regarded his wife as a life partner.

But, something like love and loving is weird.

Their partner was educated from birth. They were only given their name when they were chosen as Narendra's couple. Their status could not be equal either. So the husband and wife relationship in Narendra feels far from something called love.

"Take me, Kamila." Zephyrus broke the silence. "You see Iaros as 'against the kind' or as 'crazy man'?"

If the opposite sex, then there is a sense of. Want him to name him love, love, lust, or whatever. If it's just a crazy man, it means he has no taste except disgust and hate.

Kamila was unable to answer.

Now he just thought about it.

Why did he not accept Iaros? Why did it feel like it was impossible? But now, after all, Kamila actually felt that.

"I ...." Kamila squeezed the dress on her thigh as a form of impingement. "I can't understand anything."

They are still waiting for a clearer word.

"I ... I .. I don't know."

"Camila." Aether, Hephaestus and Zephyrus were not children who would believe such a sentence.

When an honest question can be answered clearly but it is answered not knowing, then it means only two.

He won't answer, or he doesn't know how to answer.

"Did you find the diary where Young Master Iaros locked me up?"

Aether immediately told the waiter to come. It turns out that the book was saved. "What's wrong with this?"

"This is yours?" Hefaistos. "Can I read?"

"It belongs to Kamila in my first generation."

"Is there something like that?" zefirus didn't know.

"I think there is." Aether frowned. "If not wrong, indeed some people from the previous generation wrote diaries."

It may have been a curse, but it was passed down in later generations because there were many lessons there.

"I only know the diary Adrestia wrote, the first wife of the third leader Narendra." Aether holds Kamila's hand on the table. "My sister, is there something with this?"

Hephaestus first read it as an answer. "I wish not to be born as Narendra, is a written closure."

Kamila. "Can I be honest, Young Master?"

"Say."

"Why do rules made for compassion make us long for freedom?"

Kamila lowered her head as her body immediately shivered. But, he tried to hold on by focusing his forehead on Aether's hand on the table.

He feels he has to be honest now.

"Will it be until our last generation, our lady Narendra should only stare at the sky and the land in the castle? Are we too stupid to go out, Young Master?"

Aether frozen.

No, is the obvious answer everyone will say.

Narendra never once believed that women are too stupid so they are at home just to be a wife and give birth.

Obviously not. Even Aether and the rest of Narendra are convinced all Narendra women are better, smarter, tougher than most women out there.

But the question was piercing.

Because Kamila said it with a trembling voice full of pain.

"I also want to see something else, Young Master." Kamila whimpering. "I also want to go where I want to go. But my life did not allow me. Since I am a Narendra woman, loved and guarded, I have to live in the castle doing nothing. I am not married, have no children, have no friends, have no job. All I can do is breathe and wait for death."

Aether's throat was rocked.

He knows it but ... why does it feel like he never knew?
