The Fate of Narendra Women
86. Make Demeter Silent

"You think Iaros is serious?" zephyrus asked when they decided to speak together after leaving Iaros.

"Do you think Narendra would apologize just for playing?" reply Hefaistos though in fact equally confused.

"He makes funny endings." Ares laughed a little.

"I think it's because of Demeter." Dionysus chimed in. "If Iaros apologized instead of following Demeter's wishes, then even the little brother could do nothing. This matter will be closed, in a way that Demeter does not like."

"There's a point." Zefirus dropped himself onto the sofa the first time. "But didn't he sacrifice too many things for that?"

If Iaros truly apologized and the matter was resolved, then he directly revoked his right to make the same request in the future. Even if it turns out that the request arises from others, Iaros will also not be given the right to participate in the power struggle.

His right to sit in the Aether chair will automatically disappear with his decision to withdraw. No matter how good he is going to be.

It was too great a sacrifice if only to keep Demeter quiet.

"I wonder," murmured Aether. "That kid, does he really love Kamila?"

"You mean?"

"I honestly assume he just wants to have Kamila because it's much more challenging than accepting his wayward wife." Aether shrugged. Look at them all. "The difference between us and Iaros isn't just patience? You and I accepted Narendra's life on our own grounds, while he rejected it."

"In other words, do you feel sorry for her?" Ares looks in disbelief.

But with confidence Aether nodded. "I felt sorry for him from the beginning. He's Aunt Hilaeira's son, after all."

"...."

"It's my first experience hearing Narendra apologise. I've never heard of that before. And I don't think I'll ever again."

"...."

As if knowing what the Aether's head contained, Ares immediately shook his head. A little laugh responded. "You're just gonna make Demeter more emotional."

"That little thing is easy for anyone to understand."

"I won't go along to make the boy angry" Dios replied immediately. "Demeter has been playing around with your ny and you're still casually saying this. First Brother has so many lives."

"I support Demeter." Ares raised his hand. "I'd rather see that brat than Iaros and you, of course."

"I'll make Demeter quiet."

Ares laughed loudly. "I can only say 'fight hard'."

At night when everyone was resting in their respective rooms, Aether stepped into the underground cell where Iaros was locked up once again. Aether saw Helen almost never leave the side of Iaros, which made things even more sad because Helen had to be there.

"Iarous."

Aether crouched down in front of her sister, knowing that she was not sleeping.

"Tell me where your mother put Demeter's nanny."

Hera tells Aether that the reason Demeter wanted to accompany Iaros to meet Orion at that time was probably her nanny.

Although frankly Aether does not know the relationship Demeter and her caregiver, but it is not difficult to realize how important the woman is until Demeter willingly complies with the small request of Iaros.

Moreover, after that Demeter replied to Iaros through Aether.

Iaros. Thought Aether, she still wanted to be quiet at least to think. But Iaros really answered it.

"The deepest confinement."

Iaros' mother was a crazy woman. The innermost confinement of this castle is even a place that no Narendra has ever stepped on.

No wonder Demeter grew up like that.

"Demeter knows that?"

"There's Mom's pet white crocodile in there."

"White crocodile?"

"The big crocodile that I've made a scourge for Demeter." Iaros bowed without power. "Mother showed Demeter the woman was eaten by a crocodile. That's why Demeter was scared. Even if he wanted to get close, Demeter couldn't handle it."

Aether breathed. Patting Iaros's shoulder before he left.

To be honest Aether did not consider Aunt Hilaeira's actions wrong. Controlling Demeter ultimately requires fear and threat.

The only problem was that Demeter was controlled by Hilaeira for Iaros. Iaros himself needs to be controlled.
