“I don’t need paperwork. Father might be better at handling the paperwork.”

As Cardell spoke with a smile, Cassian responded with an equally playful laugh.

“I need some stability.”

“With mother?”

“Yes.”

The next moment, the eyes of the two father-and-son collided tightly.

“You’re not going to come out for another year!”

Cardell shouted that he would never want to see that again.

Cassian threw the signet ring after his son grew up to a certain extent and often disappeared with Elysia. On the other hand, after hearing the news that they went to the villa, Cardell, who remembered it because it was basically a year, gritted his teeth.

“Has that ever happened? It seems that my memories haven’t completely returned.”

Cassian acted as if he didn’t know.

He, who had been watching Cardell looking at the papers saying he had no intention of letting him go easily this time, grabbed Elysia’s right hand and raised it.

“I’ll be back a little later.”

Cassian, who left those words, secretly injected magic into the ring worn on Elysia’s little finger.

​​

Seeing her instantly changed vision, Elysia, who had been looking at him with her head up in a daze, hesitated.

“Here… how can you just leave Cardell behind!”

“It hurts.”

Cassian smiled as he kissed her hand as she slapped his chest.

“I didn’t expect it to really work.”

Originally, it was impossible to move from the Jericho Mountains to here because of the distance.

“I fixed the magic circle engraved on the ring.”

As he hugged her and slowly inspected the bedroom, it was the same as they had been together in their previous lives.

“…Why do you come here?”

Cassian said imploringly, resting his forehead on Elysia’s shoulder. Looking at the traces left on the table, he frowned because his heart was pounding.

“…To eat while you sleep. I used to sleep here often.”

It was something he couldn’t have imagined. He was on the verge of going crazy when she waited for him, how far was he going to go? Elysia continued her words in a bright voice, whether or not she knew what he was thinking.

“I’m sure you’ve walked by the bedroom a lot. Have you ever wondered why it’s locked?”

The day he left the mansion, he had put a spell on it so no one could enter. If it had been locked up like that, wouldn’t she not have come here, either?

“Coming here reminds me of the first time you came to the mansion. It was cute.”

“…Did you see everything?”

“Of course. The way you fall and cry, the surprise at the sight of an assassin, the first time you hold a sword, the feeling of the magic. The first time you wake up and see me…”

Elysia cupped his cheek and brought out one or two of the things she saw.

“Even when you were taller than me, I saw them all. Maybe I’m the only one who watched my lover’s childhood like that?”

Saying that she was lucky, she laughed.

Cassian suppressed his emotions, fearing that he would drive himself mad. These were things he may not have known… it would have been better if he hadn’t seen them. Why did she do that? He had to stop asking.

She seemed very happy that his memories came back and she could have a conversation like this. Instead, he should say thank you.

“Elysia.”

“Yes?”

He hugged her and sat her down on the table. Then, with his hands on her either side, he leaned over and looked at her.

“Did I tell you, thank you for waiting.”

As Elysia bit her lip and shook her head, Cassian grabbed her hair and kissed the ends. There was only one thing he could say.

I love you so much and will always do.

Just whispering love like that. Again, he was choked, but Cassian whispered again and again without showing her.

Elysia said in a hoarse voice, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Yes, I love you so much… as always.”

How could she forget this miraculous moment?

Cassian kissed Elysia for a long time and whispered love. As a result, the atmosphere naturally heated up.

“Oh, but I heard Hail went there?”

As if she had forgotten, she tapped Cassian’s hand, which was sliding down her waist as she hurriedly asked.

“How did you know I had something to ask you?”

“I was talking to the Emperor, and I was surprised when he suddenly jumped out so I erased the memory and ran away.”

Elysia at least got out of here early because of that, she laughed. Meanwhile, Cassian frowned as he recalled the time before Hail went back. Somehow, he kept trying not to go though he thought Hail had gone back smoothly.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“My memory came back because of my wife’s wishes.”

When Cassian explained the conversation he had had with Hail to her, although Elysia seemed surprised to learn the truth of the gift Hail had mentioned, she suddenly avoided his gaze.

Not liking her avoiding his gaze, he pursued her relentlessly.

“Huh. Why would you do that?”

“I’m satisfied, no, not satisfied… So what I meant by wanting to see more of you in the past—”

Cassian looked at Elysia lovingly.

“Don’t mind that, Wife. Even if it is, it’s fine.”

He was the same as he was in the past life and now anyway. When the two of them were together, he was confused because he was jealous, but after talking with Cardell, he became more comfortable accepting it. Still, he still had a bigger desire for her to like himself more.

“Lady Elysia, Elysia.”

“What?”

“So, which one do you prefer, past life or now?”

“….”

“Answer.”

“Why again…”

“If it’s difficult to answer, is it okay to talk about your appearance right now? Or what will it look like in a few years?”

Elysia narrowed her eyes and looked at him as if she was estimating something. How many times had he asked that question? It was not the same, but he kept asking similar questions.

“Because everything is fine.”

“I’m worried about what to do since the wife keeps lying.”

She winced at his confident tone and pulled her body back, but since she was sitting on the table, she had nowhere to run. At the same time, Cassian leaned over to her, rolling his eyes and smiling. It seemed that he really wanted to hear an answer even though he was the same man to her anyway.

Elysia, who was looking at the corner of his eyes that curled up, reluctantly opened her mouth.

“I like…”

He must have heard it, but when he asked again, she laughed in vain.

“Tell me again.”

“I like…I like both, but the one in front of me right now is you. I can’t help it…. no, you’re the same person anyway?”

Even though she gave an answer, she frowned at the thought was this correct? Even so, Cassian curved his lips as if she was satisfied with the answer.

“Aha.”

He kissed her on the cheek as if to praise him for doing well.

“I thought so.”

“Why?”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter either way though it’s also the answer I was looking for.”

Elysia’s eyebrows twitched.

“…The answer you wanted?”

“Yes. The memories that come to mind are the past.”

Cassian, who replied, lowered his gaze and ran his finger across her neckline.

It sounded weird, yet it felt strangely different. As she got curious about what he was thinking, Elysia lifted Cassian’s chin, wondering what the situation was again. Still, his gaze stayed on the nape of her neck.

“What are you doing?”

“I thought about what Lady Elysia would taste like.”

“What does that mean…”

Elysia, who blushed at her sudden remark, blinked her eyes.

“I think you understand.”

She swallowed a gulp at Cassian’s mischievous smile. Did he know how that word came to her a moment ago?

Sucking blood between vampires was only done between special people as the act of reciprocating each other because they couldn’t overcome their excitement. So, that word was close to an explicit, sexual expression of affection.

“Elysia.”

“Yes.”

Cassian slowly raised his gaze and kissed her eyes.
