"But if you think from another point of view, isn't there still a chance?"
"What opportunity?"
Norman shrugged his shoulders. "Hestia hates men up to her spinal cord."
Then what's Eros? Shemale, so? "Then?"
"It's not that easy he'd obediently marry a man even if Darius told him to. If they were really married, well, it might not be too difficult to ask Oto to kill Yohannes."
"I don't want to get Hestia by brutal means." Eros clucked. "I should not be seen as a man like Darius. Hestia played with that dirty world a long time ago. If I do, he just thinks I have the same brain."
"No, really?"
"Shush."
Eros got out of his bed. Go to Yujerian and Yuveria's room to see they are still awake.
The two were compiling a lego to form a palace, although they looked at each other in confusion, they did not tell Eros to leave.
"Kazo." Yuveria tilted her face. "Doushita no?" [What's up?]
Eros sat on their carpet. Crossing his legs before he reached out, hoping Yuveria moved into his arms.
The boy still wants to pretend to be nice to Eros. He moved, hugging her until Eros could feel the beating of Yuveria's heart.
"Dad hopes time rotates." Eros stroked Yuveria's long hair. "Dad hoped to know sooner."
Yujerian's eyes looked at him confused. But Eros keeps quiet, permeating the warmth of his daughter's small body that was injured for years due to Eros' ignorance.
Yuveria wriggled, releasing that hug. His eyes also looked at Eros, wondering why he had suddenly come to hug her.
All Eros did was look at him. Rubbing those adorable little cheeks, again remember that she cried hating him because injured Eros did not know about them.
"You know?" Eros whispered in his face. "I don't like having a prominent weakness."
"...."
"I am always taught to be perfect. Just like your mother, our world requires us to always be perfect doing something and not to show weakness. Weakness is the most forbidden thing."
"...."
"But ...." The tip of Eros's fingers through Yuveria's face. Smiling put their fists together. "You are my weakness."
"...."
Yujerian.
Again, the throbbing pain in his chest came again.
The throbbing that he was sure of due to the feeling of being hurt by this person came again.
Yujerian gulped. Seeing her sister was empty before she suddenly cried, filling the entire room with her firm cries.
Maybe he felt that too. It felt like something was knocking on their wounds, not to get hurt more, but to heal.
Even so, because they have always thought they will not heal, the sensation actually makes them disturbed.
Yujerian's breath gushed violently. Her sister cried but did not break away from Eros. Instead he buried himself there, until Yujerian realized that his sister's body was shivering with fear.
He doesn't exist, Yujerian thought always.
Eros never existed. As the two of them were terrified to see Hestia sleep walking, Eros was absent.
As they worry their mother is sick, Eros is not around.
When they are insulted not to have a father by a bad boy, Eros is not around.
When they were lonely, Eros never existed.
He never existed once.
When he was there, he was silent. But after suddenly being around, he forced them to forgive him.
Why should he? Of all men, why should he be their father?
Yujerian firmly gripped Eros' arm before entering his arms.
The feeling of safety from his embrace made Yujerian cry. He hated it when he thought he had this but never once came to their rescue.
Even so ....
"Sorry." Eros whispered in their ears. "Father wrong. Sorry."
