Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife

Stop Bothering Me

Arkas exhaled as his steps stopped before the door of the main dining room, the place where he gathered all his brothers and sisters to announce the final decision. Of course, Arkas was nervous.

Not one shred of Arkas ever thought Elios was returning to this residence, regaining his name as Narendra. But now she must announce that it is her decision, along with Roxanne's decision to move on to be Eris' wife.

"You waiting for me, brother?"

Arkas gave a small smile responding to Askala's embrace behind him. He's not waiting for her but it's not bad to have the support of a woman who's never been afraid.

"I'm a bad leader" Arkas murmured. "Don't tell Eris I said this."

"No, because I agree." Askala tidying up Arkas hair that is actually neat. "But that's your job, right? Do it or Eris will re-force you."

Arkas grabbed Askala's hand to hold it. No matter how bad Askala had troubled him all this time, Arkas would not hesitate to say he was one of the reasons Arkas could survive.

"Open the door," Arkas orders an instant to be done by the servant.

While still holding Askala's hand, Arkas entered the room, staring at the dozens of brothers and sisters-in-law sitting regularly at the giant dining table. Of course, Roxanne and Eris were also there.

"I'm glad to see you, my brothers." Arkas greeted casually. "I hope you're happy to see your brother too."

"Not really," Elios replied. "After all I think you're the most agreeable not to have this kind of meeting, but I'm glad that means I saw your defeat."

Askala laughs. Releasing Arcas's hand to come into Elios's lap. "Don't break Arkas' mood or make you cry, Little Brother."

Elios' smile grew. The man hugged Askala's waist, kissing his lips in front of everyone who invited cheers.

Arkas breathed a rough breath. Yeah, that's why he hates being the first kid. That made him have to take care of all these troubled kids.

"Skala, stop it and come here."

At least Askala, according to him, left Elios' lap to sit beside Arcas. Arkas' gaze momentarily fell upon Roxanne who was beside Eris.

Thought Arkas they needed help getting back together after all, but it didn't seem like it.

"Well, my sweet and annoying sisters," Arkas opened the meeting, "I'll talk at length now and be a little sentimental before you have to pretend to forget."

"I took Elios' name as Narendra and replaced him with Yasa, eleven years ago. I did it because of my emotions. I admit it."

Elios thunts. "You know being arrogant doesn't make your sentence just sound good, right? That's ridiculous."

"I can do more silly by changing your name instead of being Narendra or Yasa. That way you can sleep in the trash."

"Oh, First Brother scares me."

"Elios." Eris opened her voice. "Shush."

Elios clucked in annoyance but decided to shut up, giving Arkas room to finish his speech.

"Because of yesterday's incident, I made my decision" Arkas said. "First, as I said, Elios returns to being Narendra but because of his deeds, he will remain in his Personal Castle and will have no children."

"Second, Roxanne, wife of Elios will be Eris's wife."

"Eris' wife?" Brother Arkas responded to that. "Him? Women from outside the farm? First Brother, do you realize that if your life drifts at forty years old then Eris will be a substitute and automatically his wife becomes the First Lady? Tell me, what can an outcast ex-wife of Elios do?"

"I disinherited Eris in exchange."

Everyone's expression, even Askala instantly changed hearing that. But Eris as the person mentioned did not react at all.

"Then since the revocation of Eris's inheritance was the third thing, the fourth thing was that Sanya was recognized as a member of the Narendra family."

"I'm curious about that one. Where's our new brother?" timpal them.

"Sanya has been severely tortured since she was four years old. He should be placed in a special place until he is sufficiently healed. Then the fifth thing, the last thing, my brothers ...."

Arkas looked at all of them and exhaled his breath once more.

"Stop bothering me."

They all laughed when Arkas was serious.
