The bed and table were broken right away, and the other furniture was in no different condition. It probably didn't seem like this would happen even if Der played as hard as it could.
“I'll have to cast a strengthening spell when I bring in the furniture.”
“Do as you please.”
Cassian replied.
“How many days has it been?”
“I don’t know. Ten days? Has it been longer?”
“Cassian. I'm hungry."
"Well, wait and I'll bring it."
Elysia looked at Cassian as if asking what that meant. Could it be that he intends to bring her meals like Cardel?
“I will eat myself.”
“…Elysia.”
She raised her eyebrows as she looked at him, who seemed to have a lot to say.
“Any problem?”
“No. Instead, be where I see you.”
At those words, she happily nodded her head.
* * *
“You came out early.”
As Cardel glanced at Elysia and Cassian in a gruff voice, she glanced around the office and asked.
“Jen?”
“…You two don’t intend to eat him together, do you? Father’s amount of drawing blood is no joke.”
“Ah, there is that problem. Is Jen alone now?”
Elysia blinked her eyes as if she hadn't thought of it.
“Aaron is with him, but… we’ll both be downstairs for now.”
She asked to go downstairs and looked at Cassian, who had a rather bloody smile on his face. Would you like to eat him yourself? It sounded like that.
“Mother.”
“Huh?”
“Would Aaron… be okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAsking that, Cardel glanced at her and Cassian as if he was worried.
"What are you talking about?"
“Ah, indeed. Maybe mother doesn't know.”
“So what?”
“…You'll know when you see him.”
Elysia didn't care and went downstairs lightly. Meanwhile, Cassian leisurely followed.
“You’re here?”
Jen greeted her with a dull face as if it was because of the meal, and Aaron, who was in the seat opposite him, jumped up with sparkling eyes. He saw Cassian, who was approaching Elysia without a pause.
“Tower Master!”
“I am not the Tower Master. Do I have that rank?"
Elysia, who pointed out the unfamiliar title, hesitated at this intense gaze towards her. Maybe it was because it was so blatant that Aaron had a crush on her, so she felt Cassian's body that was holding her grow stronger.
“Then, will you give me your name?”
“What?”
Elysia was taken aback by those bold words as if he couldn't even see Cassian with her. She thought she now understood why Cardel said that. At the same time, she imagined what would happen if she bit Aaron by the neck.
‘Does he have anything to say?’
It seemed that she’d see some cute jealousy. Thinking so, she glanced up and expressed her intention of wanting to eat him.
“Huht?”
Cassian grabbed her wrist and bit it.
When she gazed at him in surprise, Cassian’s eyes were only on her, so Elysia bit her lip, feeling the heat rising from his teeth.
On the other hand, Aaron's face reddened as he looked at him, then slowly distorted.
Cassian parted his lips and wiped away the remaining blood from her skin. Then, he spoke in a calm voice as if warning Aaron.
“If you look at my wife that way in front of me one more time.”
“Ma, madam… is it?”
“I don’t know if I can stand it next time.”
Cassian smiled viciously as if telling Aaron to dare to keep looking at her like that. As if saying that he had endured was not a lie, Cassian was also giving him a look as if he would twist his neck at any moment.
Elysia corrected her thoughts. It was not cute jealousy, it was rather bloody jealousy.
“Cassian.”
She turned her back on Aaron and wrapped her arms around Cassian's waist, hugging him.
“Aren’t you going to look at me?”
Only then did he take his eyes off Aaron and face her. Seeing that, she smiled at him as if to calm him down and hugged him tightly.
“I'll go upstairs and wait for you.”
“I will set you aside.”
As she nodded her head and said that he must never be killed, Elysia repeated one more time before she headed to Cardel. She wanted to see Cassian suck blood and rush at her out of jealousy, but wasn't it a pity?
Elysia licked her lips in regret and headed upstairs. She has a hunch that Cassian would continue to bring her meals instead.
“Cardel.”
“Are you here already?”
“If he’s that weird, you should have told me.”
“…I asked if you were okay. Aaron is not afraid at first, and he likes mother as well.”
“When did he like me?”
“You ran into each other a lot, but mother was not interested in your surroundings.”
When Cardel smiled, asking her to look back on the past, Elysia let out a sigh and sat down on the couch.
“…Are you all right?”
Cardel, who was looking at the papers, paused and then, perhaps not thinking about it, asked back.
“Huh? Maybe.”
“Aaron is the best at looking at the paperwork.”
“Would father really want to let him go? If he asks me to let him out, I can't help him.”
Cardel glanced at the doorway with a hesitant face as if he had made a mistake. He was probably waiting for Cassian to come. Elysia asked why he didn't say anything when he knew it, as she watched it leisurely.
“Wife.”
Elysia burst into laughter as he approached her. Contrary to calling her name affectionately, the jealousy still remained on his face.
“If the gender is female, can I eat it?”
Elysia asked with a smile.
“No.”
“….?”
“I don't think I’ll like that either.”
It was the first time Cassian had thought of it, but he said firmly that it would be distasteful.
However, Elysia did not refute. In time, she assumed he would soon understand, as in the future, there would be innumerable cases that couldn’t be helped while living an immortal life. It was just a meal, that was what he should think.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It's just a meal.”
Although she did not think of it him as just a meal for eight hundred years.
Every time she had to suck blood, she hated it so much that the other person was someone other than Cassian, regardless of gender, because she hated seeing herself in a hot state after sucking blood.
* * *
“Cassian.”
Elysia, who had just woken from her slumber, felt the place next to her empty, and before she could open her eyes, she called for him. Even though she waited for a while, she heard no answer, instead feeling his presence in her bathroom.
She often thought she had waited for him for a long time. When she suddenly came to her senses, she wondered if she would go back to the time she was waiting for him.
Elysia bit her lips, feeling like she was about to be consumed by memories of the past.
It'd been a while since she found him reincarnated, and it'd already been a month since Cassian became a vampire… when would these thoughts disappear?
“Elysia.”
A sharp response popped out at the friendly voice calling her, sensing that she had woken up.
“I hate you not being here when I open my eyes.”
As Cassian frowned as if sensing something was wrong and approached, she dug into his arms and took a deep breath before calming down after a while. Soon, she lifted her head and made eye contact with him as she explained what she had done earlier.
“I feel like I'm back to the old days.”
“Um. It’s my fault.”
As if to scold him for leaving her side, Elysia bit his lip.
“I will stay by your side until you are okay.”
When she nodded her head, she looked puzzled as she saw his light smile.
“Looks like you're happy now.”
Cassian paused for a moment, then laughed, shaking his head.
“I’m sorry. I don't want to do this.”
“Huh?”
Cassian chose his words, leaving behind a kiss.
“I can’t help but be willing to be in a situation where I can’t be without you.”
Elysia glared at him and stood up.
“I will wash.”
“I’ll attend you, wife.”
“I’m going to wash myself.”
“No. I promise I won't leave you alone.”
