I'm Not Interested In The Main Characters

“Ah— your mother likes it.”

Cassian said in a soft tone as if he didn’t care.

“….?”

“What can I say now!”

Even though Elysia looked at him in a fit of rage, it was useless. Cassian moved to her side and locked her in his arms.

“You don’t want to? Then, as expected…”

“Don’t. I would be really angry.”

Elysia put her hand over his mouth as it looked like he was really going to say that. At the same time, Cassian’s eyes curved, and soon, she could feel something licking her palm.

“Ah, really! Rather, when it’s just the two of us, huh?”

As he nodded, he patted her hand on his mouth.

“Then, when we’re alone, the way we talk and the title is like addressing the master…”

Gritting her teeth, she covered his mouth again.

“Whatever! When it’s just you and me.”

Cardel, who had been watching them for a while, let out a sigh as if he was familiar with it. Even then, dissatisfied, he finally opened his mouth.

“Can’t you two see me?”

“I can look at you clearly now. Suddenly.”

Cassian smirked and took Elysia into his arms.

“So what does father want to do now?”

As he pulled his lips into a smirk, Cassian laughed at the sharp voice.

“Cardel.”

“Yes.”

“If you want to hug me, hug me. I don’t know why you grumble.”

Finishing his words, he opened his arms and gazed at Cardel, telling him to hug him if he wanted to.

“Not at all. It’s not like that.”

Meanwhile, Elysia pushed him away and raised her body. Cassian stretched out his hand with a dissatisfied face, but she smiled and stepped further back.

“I am going.”

“Where are you going?”

“Elysia?”

Exhaling a long breath, Elysia opened her mouth, remembering that she had left without saying anything to the Emperor.

“I’ll go to the Emperor and come back after cleaning up, so have a good time. Don’t fight.”

“Of course. There’s no way we’ll fight, can we?”

“I can’t fight with father.”

Elysia shook her head and disappeared.

* * *

Silence lingered between the two father and son, who watched Elysia’s disappearance. Cassian turned her head and stared at Cardel, who wasn’t looking at him.

“Cardel.”

“Yes.”

“Did you miss me a lot?”

At those words, Cardel stared at him with an astonished face.

“Why are you asking the question?”

“Because it’s written all over your face, so I was wondering if it was correct.”

Cassian didn’t stop laughing and pressed the crown of Cardel’s head hard.

“…That, uh…um. I missed you.”

“Yes. Me, too.”

There was still silence for a long time after those words.

It was Cassian who spoke up first.

“I was just wondering why this happened. I don’t know why the magic tower is in the middle of the Jericho Mountains though it’s not a bad choice.”

Cardel, who blushed again at the compliment, cleared his throat in embarrassment and gave a more detailed account of what had happened.

The Magic’s Tower, which strictly restricts exchanges, was able to avoid being criticized because it played a big role in dealing with monsters. After moving the Magic Tower to the Jerich Mountains, there was never a place that was attacked by monsters.

Cassian was smiling the whole time, like hearing a voice that made him feel good after a long time.

“Among the wizards belonging to the Magic Tower, not many have seen me or mother in person.”

“It seems there are fewer people in the tower than I thought.”

“There is another tower a little further away from here. Only those with permission can enter here.”

When Cassian twisted his lips, hearing that only those who were allowed, Cardel looked at his father as if there was something wrong.

“Your mother must be sucking someone’s blood here, too.”

It was because he thought of Elysia, who said that she had been to the Magic Tower while she stayed in the imperial palace and smelled of blood.

Cassian had spoken to her in passing.

If she became a vampire, there would be a situation where she would stick her fangs into another man’s throat, and he was glad she didn’t have to. She told him that sucking blood was similar to a love affair but not satisfying, so if she became a vampire, he would no longer be able to deal with Elysia’s meals.

“Is that so…?”

“Isn’t it.”

“…That’s right, but—”

His eyes hardened at Cardel’s words.

“Mother rarely sucked blood herself.”

Cassian looked at Cardel as if asking what that meant. How would that be possible for a long time?

“I prepared a separate meal for her, except when it is unavoidable or urgent.”

“If it is unavoidable and urgent, it must be after meeting me.”

Cardel smiled and nodded his head as if his father didn’t deserve to be jealous.

Cassian ran a hand through his hair. Of course, he had no right to say anything to Elysia, but he couldn’t help but be secretly jealous. He hated the thoughts that other guys had when they saw her, rather than jealousy.

“Can I call Hail?”

“Suddenly?”

“Yes, or did Hail ever see me?”

“No… as far as I know, no. Why?”

When he talked about sucking blood, something naturally came to mind. Elysia might have thought she wanted to turn him into a vampire.

“I have something to check.”

“I can call him because there is Der. Please wait.”

Cardel then left the office, saying he would bring Der.

In the meanwhile, Cassian glanced around the office slowly while waiting for his son, but it was hard to see. It was something he had been thinking about ever since his memory came back. What if he died before Elysia did in this life as well? Then, she would wait for him again.

Even without asking, he was sure…

“….Engraved person.”

It was good that she seemed to love him that much before things got to this point, but not now. Because of this d*mn thing, she couldn’t get away from him… so she would be waiting for him again?

Just the thought of it was terrifying.

Even if it were hard, she’d wait until the end. He didn’t want Elysia to endure that time again. It would have been better if she had forgotten him. However, that was impossible, and even in the next life, there was no guarantee he would be able to recover his memories.

“What, where did she go?”

Hail, who appeared unexpectedly, openly expressed his dissatisfaction and visited Elysia. When Cassian thought of how tenaciously he would have clung to Elysia while he was gone, he struggled to endure the rising anger.

“Long time no see.”

“Hehe. What are you doing? Even if you put up with it, show me everything.”

Hail read Cassian’s thoughts and laughed.

“It must be a long time by your standards. Did you call me?”

Hail, realizing why Cassian was calling before he even asked the question, shrugged his shoulders.

“How about this time?”

“Compared to your previous life, the blood is much thinner. Still, compared to other humans, it seems dark though it’s really amazing.”

The next moment, he scanned Cassian from head to toe with an intriguing gaze.

“Give me the conclusions.”

“I’m only cooperative with my darling, but she’s not here.”

“Ha.”

While Cassian ran a hand through his hair, feeling his patience slowly running out, Hail just smiled with a nonchalant face.

“Wait a minute, do you remember?”

“Yes.”

“How can you use the gift I gave you like that?”

“What do you mean?”
