"Where is Demeter?"
"He's soaking, Young Master."
Iaros violently opens Demeter's bathroom, finding the girl being massaged by her personal maid while drowning in a pool the size of a small swimming pool.
Hearing the door open violently, Demeter immediately opened her eyes. "Is Brother trying to upset me?"
Iaros hints at the servant leaving, leaving him alone with his half-sister. "Demeters." Iaros approached, drawing Demeter's hand until the girl was shocked.
Since Iaros was just squatting by the pool, Demeter would inevitably look up. "What, Brother? I think Brother's mood is bad."
"I know your mind. You and Mom." Iaros never liked to admit this, because his late mother and Demeter always made Iaros uncomfortable. Unfree. "I know you don't want to destroy Narendra."
Demeter smiled. "Because I bear the name Narendra, Brother. If Narendra is smeared, my noble name is also tarnished."
"I want to destroy it."
"Then? Brother said I should help Brother?"
"I'll give you what you want."
"Oh, what is it, brother? Brother knew?"
"The woman is still alive."
Demeter's face changed immediately. And that's not a subtle change. He was speechless blankly, his expression showing a suffocating unusual shock.
Iaros knows that. Demeter's Weaknesses.
Something I snatched from Demeter for her sister to grow up like this, for Iaros.
If Demeter was still the Demeter that I liked, then that woman was a big weakness. Nurse Demeter, someone Demeter considers a real mother because Demeter's real mother must live in the Asgard mansion.
"I know where Mom hid her." Iaros grabbed Demeter's hand. "I'll set him free."
Demeter, who had been silent, suddenly laughed out loud. He withdrew his hand from Iaros, again sitting himself in the pool.
"Hilaeira's mother is a smart and cruel woman, Brother. Why didn't Milaeira kill her in the first place? Why did Mother Hilaeira keep it for Sister? To threaten me now?"
Demeter's pretty face became extremely cold as she changed to pull the collar Iaros bowed to her.
"Hilaeira's mother trusts me more than sister. He will not give my weakness to Brother, because it would be better for me to control Brother. Brother understood?"
Iaros smile. "You're right. My mother trusts you more than I do. That's why you used to threaten me."
"I don't understand."
Demeter. "Aren't you still trying to lie?"
"Then what is this?" When Iaros showed me a red diamond pendant, Demeter was immediately blocked.
Iaros said he wasn't lying.
Since long ago, I really liked Demeter and Demeter had a character match with Mom. But, you know, humans are born holy and gentle. No human being is born with evil nature.
Demeter is the same.
Although she and Mom had a fit, when she was a child, Demeter also liked genuine affection and tender love. Her mother Hilaeira did not have it on Demeter, and Demeter's mother did not.
The woman has it. Leave it to Demeter, the beloved princess.
The necklace was a necklace Demeter had secretly given as a gift. None of Narendra knew about it except Demeter and the woman.
Even Iaros is not. This proved that Iaros did not lie.
"Demeters." Iaros called him calmer. "I'll set him free, so help me."
Mother's power in this family is still stronger than Iaros, even though now Mother is not gone. To include someone that Mother had thrown away, Iaros could not just ask as a young master.
And Demeter would never allow herself to beg Aether. Because Demeter was upholding her pride.
The girl looked. "Sister touched something dangerous," he muttered half a grin. "Don't know I'll never help Brother."
Iaros knew this girl was a terrifying opponent. But if Iaros just keeps playing it safe, he'll never get anything.
"Your decision?"
Demeter laughed a little. "alright. I'll keep an eye on Brother. Just watching."
It seems he has other plans for Iaros, but Iaros won't care.
The goal is only one. Get what he wants to get.
"But, big brother, wouldn't it be necessary to destroy our bloodline if it was only for Kamila?"
Iaros stared coldly.
Unfortunately, unlike Demeter who glorified Narendra, Iaros did not care about Narendra.
