Cassian seemed to want to get rid of the statue right away, but it seemed like he couldn’t bear it because of the statue’s appearance. She thought nothing more strange would come out, but then she saw a record.

He laughed at her name, which could be seen in various places in the span of records.

“Finding the reincarnated Arbel…”

While he made a dreadful plan, Elysia studied the records of her.

There was nothing special. The content was that she didn’t seem to be human while the story about Der was the main focus, and the plan to make her a saint in case something happened to her was written in detail.

It seemed that Arbel was sincere in trying to help even if her true identity was discovered.

Elysia, rather than being grateful, wanted to deal with this creepy space first, so she burned the records and started to destroy the statue. Finishing the rough-and-tumble, she leaned on his arm and contemplated her next destination.

“By the way, Cassian.”

Instead of an answer, Cassian kissed her lightly and waited for her words.

“You don’t know what your abilities are yet?”

“Yes. Not yet.”

The moment they became a vampire, they instinctively had to realize their abilities, but Cassian didn’t know what it was until now.

He didn’t seem to have any abilities, and her curiosity about what it was growing day by day although she had fun playing pranks on him, saying that he was a quick learner even if he didn’t know these things.

Cassian exited the temple and was walking around the capital, looping his hand on Elysia’s shoulder. He lowered his hand to a memory that came to his mind not long ago and held their hand tightly together.

It was more natural to hug her around the waist or walk while holding her hand because he remembered her image in the Imperial Palace, where walking while holding hands was awkward.

Elysia’s eyes widened as he slipped between her fingers and interlaced them. It was so lovely that she could feel her lips softening. As she asked what he was thinking, he glanced around and opened his mouth.

“I wonder if this is the first time I’ve been walking around like this.”

She tilted her head, not understanding his words.

“To walk together, without time constraints or destination, without anyone following behind.”

“Really?”

In his previous life, he was always busy with work, and he had no time to leave the bedroom. Of course, he’d be happy to do that in the bedroom now, but he knew she wouldn’t like it. At the same time, Elysia looked up at Cassian, and as she told him to look at her, she held his hand and smiled mischievously.

“I did a lot of things with Cardell.”

“I’m jealous of that.”

Cassian examined the face hidden under the robe to see if she had expected this kind of reaction. A faint smile appeared on Elysia’s face.

He took her hand and drew her gaze to him.

“Elysia.”

“Huh?”

“Do it with me now.”

Elysia, who hesitated for a moment, answered nothing, and she just nodded her head.

Perhaps she understood the meaning of his words, which he didn’t bother to say out of his mouth. The heart that separated him and Elysia had already stopped, so now all that was left was to really be together.

“You…”

Cassian stopped talking and shut his mouth.

There was a memory from the past that suddenly came to his mind. Elysia’s appearance was still the same, unlike him, who was middle-aged when he closed his eyes because of his slow aging.

At the time, he didn’t know that Elysia would live an immortal life, but he was still worried that she knew might be different. If he had said that he was too worried and heartbroken that she was to be left alone even for a moment, she would have laughed, saying, what was he worried about?

In the end, she couldn’t leave Cardel alone and chose her immortal life to meet him again… so maybe his anxiety at that moment was true.

“Cassian?”

“The wife looks prettier today.”

Even when he said that, Elysia narrowed her eyes and she sent a reply with her eyes, saying she wouldn’t do anything tonight.

Cassian returned her gaze, telling her to hold on if she could, and then he continued walking again.

“Will it get better with time?”

“What?”

“You in bed.”

He raised his eyebrows at her words.

“Did you push me away because you weren’t satisfied recently?”

When he said that, even though he knew it wasn’t, Elysia shook her head in disgust. It seemed shethoughtg that maybe with time, he would do less in bed, but Cassian couldn’t give an answer to that. After changing and imprinting, the stimulation increased, so how could he endure it? He was already using all the patience he had.

When she glanced down, wondering what she was thinking, her immaculate face flushed. She didn’t know that even a look like that was tempting enough to make his heart ache.

Cassian held back the desire to go back immediately and lifted Elysia’s chin before sharing a short but deep kiss.

“Wife.”

Cassian moved away from the crowd and put his wet lips back together. He wondered if the day would ever come when he could get used to the overwhelmingly enticing scent that filled his mouth.

He clenched his fists and resisted the desire to set his teeth right away.

Elysia enjoyed him biting her lips, but he was a little different. After the deep kiss, when even drops of blood came out of her thick, swollen lips, it seemed that he would not be able to handle himself from there.

She slapped him on the shoulder and rolled her eyes, finding it troublesome to do this outside even though no one was around. She wouldn’t know that if she had made eye contact while kissing her, he would be more aroused.

Cassian tried to slip his hand on her waist.

“Cassian!”

“Wife, how about we go in?”

The red eyes rolled and moved away from him.

Cassian gazed gleefully at Elysia, who was furiously rolling her head and wondering what to do. It was true that she had pushed him away a bit lately, so he was worried. What if she accepted him and he got caught again?

Even the fact that she pretended not to win from the kiss earlier was clearly visible on her face.

He leaned over to help her choose with a languid smile. As if he wanted to kiss her, he even tilted his head to the side, and Elysia bit her lips.

“Elysia.”

“Ah, really. I was going to go in after a while.”

It seemed that she had chosen while pretending she couldn’t win.

“I can’t help it because the wife wants it.”

Cassian asked if they could go back then, and he pulled her by the waist. Her tightly pressed body was already hot.

“What if you’re already like this?”

“You should have pushed me in moderation.”

“…Will it happen after some time?”

Elysia said to herself as if it would be difficult if time passed if he was as passionate as he is now.

“Elysia.”

“Huh?”

“You must not lie. Anyone who sees it will think that I am the only one.”

As he hugged her tighter, she smiled and said that she couldn’t stop it, but she avoided his deep eyes. Then she flinched when she saw a person from a little distance away.

“Wait.”

Elysia untied Cassian’s hand and hurriedly pursued the person she had seen earlier.

There was a girl where her gaze was directed. Curly golden hair glided along the girl’s steps. A middle-aged woman holding the child’s hand with chubby cheeks and a clear smile typical of a child seemed to be chattering.

Cassian followed her at a leisurely pace.

“You don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Seeing the girl who might be Lumiere, Elysia smiled as if she was more refreshed. Cassian looked at the girl’s clothes, which made it difficult to be considered a noble.

“Do you care about her status?”

“No, this is enough because I didn’t care about that.”

Elysia’s lips curled up and she gently rubbed Cassian’s hand, telling him to go back.
