Heh. Demeter slightly grinned at this sudden disturbance. Although Euribia must have been upset by their situation, she did not think she would immediately scream here.
A shameful act that does not reflect Narendra's elegance. But it seemed that she was indeed not acting to look graceful.
Meanwhile, Iaros was just staring flatly. Iaros had already thought of a reply if Orion or anyone denied it, so Iaros did not feel intimidated just because Ribia had come.
“I refused this, Uncle, Dad, Aunty.” Ribia stood firm, saying the same thing. “I don't want something silly like that to happen.”
Iaros will serve him a little. “It is a rule, Euribia.”
“I know and I refuse.”
“Good.” Orion. “Please yourself first. Do not raise your voice because we hear. First, Euribia, tell me your reason.”
“I don't want.”
“That's your excuse?”
“Ya, Uncle. I don't want to. That's why I refused.”
Iaros glanced at Demeter. At a time like this, his sister is better at controlling the situation.
Wanting Demeter to side with him was not taking his side, responding to Ribia would not change many situations so it should not be a problem.
Understanding that, Demeter raised her chin. “Ribia, you refused a valid request on the grounds you don't want to?”
“Didn't you teach me that Narendra women only have to think about themselves? I don't want to. I-i refused. I'm upset if my wish doesn't materialize. Is that not the attitude of Narendra woman?” reply Ribia.
He seems to be more sure than last time. Agav must have pushed him.
“You're right. It is like that.” However, Demeter couldn't possibly be cornered just because of trivialities. “Then Brother Iaros was asking for something that Brother Iaros wanted as a Narendra. What say?”
Ribia looked at Orion, Tethia and Ainias alternately. Then he clenched his hands, breathing a few times. “Then I will ask Uncle to choose. If my request is not obeyed, I'd rather die. Kill Big Brother or me.”
Just a little, Iaros was surprised.
Crazy and desperate requests.
Nope. Not because Ribia offered her life for free. There will never be an option for Narendra women to fall. So the point of the saying was not really to say choose him or Iaros, but to follow him and reject Iaros' request.
In other words .. he denigrates Iaros.
“Asku.” Iaros will reply, warning Ribia not to be too reckless or Iaros to be rude.
But before that, Demeter prevented.
It seems Ribia's fishing for him.
“I don't like the request of Brother Iaros, Euribia. Not in the least. Merely,” Demeter smiled eerily, “I don't like your insults on Narendra.” either
“I Narendra.”
Only Demeter dared to say such a thing when their father was in front of them.
“You're in charge with your words, Demeter?” Orion responded immediately.
“Ya, Uncle.” Demeter went wild. “For me, Narendra is not just about the bloodline, or the blood, or the water we were born into. It's not that simple. Euribia was undoubtedly Narendra, but his attitude, his character, his behavior patterns, did not reflect Narendra. Not one bit, for me.”
What he said is true.
Narendra is full of rules. Weakness will weaken your position. Therefore, the colder and crueler the person in this residence, the greater the power in his hands.
“If the game becomes that rough, then I will file.” Demeter smiled cunningly. “Dad, I want Daddy to choose between the two of us.”
Ainias breathed a tired sigh. He was obviously frustrated with his sons.
“Stop, you two. This is not a game.”
“I don't play. Ribia is the one playing.”
“I don't.” Ribia almost shouted. “The bottom line is, I can't accept this. I want the request rejected.”
Iaros has been quiet for too long.
“Euribia.” Iaros just whispered softly. But his bloodlust even made Ainias flinch. “Are you really trying to insult me?”
The girl gasped. His face suddenly turned pale.
Even as hard as Agav pushed his mental strength, Iaros' desire was still much greater.
If for that he had to kill Ribia as well, Iaros would have done it without blinking.
“Can I speak, Mister?” Tethia finally opened her voice after a long silence.
“Say.” Orion.
“Surely will not determine the final result, but I think it will be a good consideration in deciding the final result.” Tethia looked at the children with a mysterious smile. “I propose an open match. Young Master Iaros and bodyguard Young Miss Euribia.”
Ribia. “What?”
“You mean divide the camp between the child who refuses and approves?” The Ainitas caught the point.
“What do you think? Isn't that an effective way to assess their overall abilities? Especially, Young Master Iaros.”
Iaros knew the match was in his favor of beating Ribia, but ....
It's hard to beat people after that.
