Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife

76

"Young Master, this is Graean."

Elios opened his eyes slightly as the door opened, bringing up the first wife. Elios' head was lying on Mariana's thigh, still half-dressed.

"If it's about permission about something, just think about whether I'll agree or not. I'm lazy to work."

"No, Young Master. I'm fine taking care of the work. There's something else I want to say."

Elios won't sit down. No more glancing when Mariana went to the bathroom to clean herself up.

If the Graean had come to see Elios, there must have been some pretty important information, right?

"Just now, Dioris arrived officially with the task of the First Young Master." Graean held out a letter to Elios. "Dioris said First Young Master leave it to you."

Elios opens the letter only to find a line of Arkas's annoying handwriting.

...**Roxanne is always in danger whenever you are with you,...

...so for now I'm assigning Dioris to protect her....

...Don't think of hurting Dioris again**....

"Sad." Elios threw out the useless letter. "I should have killed that kid a long time ago."

Dioris had been useless since Eirene left. Because indeed the only duty he lived on was to serve Eirene as his bodyguard.

But Arkas defended Dioris from the start. Now he held out Dioris to Roxanne just because he knew that Elios would definitely be upset.

"Nobody can get past my brother's annoying nature, right?" Elios snorts. "Whatever. Just do what he wants. But tell Dioris not to show up in front of me."

"Young Master, to be honest this is uncomfortable for me."

Elios got out of bed. Putting a black kimono on his body while turning to Graean.

It's not usual for Graean to say something like that.

"In a sense?" elios asked, asking for an explanation.

"While that happened in this residence, I felt that it was not something simple. Not just a flutter without direction."

Elios didn't think about it because he didn't care how the house fell apart, but if the Graean were to deliver it, it meant that he did feel a sense of ordinary discomfort.

The problem is, if he talks about the changing currents, inevitably leads to Roxanne, right? What is a girl with nothing but her body?

"Then do you mean I have to be careful?"

Graean advanced without being asked, reaching for Elios' hand to look at his wound.

"I just feel like there's something unpleasant and it has to stop for your calm. But, I admit my stupidity for not being able to know what it is."

Elios just silently watched Graean touch his wound with caution.

From the very beginning together, from the very beginning of marriage, the Graean has always been the same. He always showed that he loved Elios and with that love he would do anything for Elios.

The way the Graeans loved him was the way Elios loved him the most, because the Graeans never demanded. He never showed any jealousy though Elios knew he must be jealous of Eirene.

When asked if Elios loved the Graeans even a little, the answer is no. But if asked if he respected the Graeans as his wife, Elios would probably say yes.

Just Graean.

Elios thus laid down his full trust. To the Graeans, Elios was everything beyond himself.

"Many."

Looks like Elios can't stem it anymore. Graean's been sober so he better know.

"That kid, I think he has a history of kinship with Narendra."

Graean jerks. He looked up at Elios even though his husband's eyes were covered in cloth.

"What do you mean? Narendra's Relatives? You mean the remains of Yasa?"

"No. That's not Yasa. After all, Lio Narendra must have made sure the whole thing was cut off before his death." Elios dropped back on the bed after all his clothes were on. "That's Trika."

"I'm sorry?"

"I don't know what their relationship is yet, but the boy's name and the real name of Trika Narendra, Bintang Abkariza, are the same. Her name is Sanya Abkariza. It was most likely that he had intentionally entered this residence for some purpose."

"If it's about Madame First Leader, Sanya can be recognized as Narendra."

"Yes, of course she can but she didn't do it and chose to be my wife."

The uneasy feeling regarding the changing current that Graean felt, was likely due to Sanya.

The changes Sanya is trying to make.
