Episode 145

Side Story 6. Small and precious thing (2)

Cassius, who was using healing magic for his son with his purple eyes wide open, collected a golden ball of light after confirming that his son had no trauma to his body.

“Daddy, when’s Mommy coming?”

Cassius smiled still at Yssius’s question.

“When’s Mommy coming?”

Cassius is sure it’s been less than half an hour since they broke up with Yerine, but seeing that Yssius already wanted to see Yerine, even Cassius thought it was great.

‘No matter how much they say he resembles me…….’

It was clear that Yssius couldn’t not see Yerine, that regretful personality was inherited from Cassius’s side.

Still, Cassius wondered how it could be this same.

‘Genetic mysteries are really great.’

Cassius smiled inward and stroked Yssius’ head.

“Mommy, she’ll be here in a little while.”

“Mommy, she’s going to sleep. So she’ll come when she wakes up?”

A pair of purple eyes glaring at Cassius were looking forward to a positive answer.

The moment he saw those pure eyes, Cassius wanted to play a little prank on his cute son, just as he did in the morning.

Doesn’t it make you want to tease it more when you see something cute?

That’s why Cassius couldn’t stop teasing his son.

Yssius was still naive, so he fell for Cassius’s prank well, and when the prank succeeded, he would run to Yerine with tears as big as a drop.

He would be sulking all day after crying so much, but just before bed, he was led by Yerine and offered a hand of reconciliation as if he were using his kindness first.

It was funny and cute at the same time.

“Daddy, are you sure Mommy will come when she wakes up?”

Cassius, who finished his idea of a prank at the sudden voice of Yssius, smiled and sat Yssius on his lap.

“Yssi, Daddy has something to tell you.”

“Huh?”

“Mommy is…… not coming anymore.”

At the words, Yssius stopped playing with his hands and dropped his hands.

“Huh?”

“Mommy, she’s gone so far that she won’t come anymore.”

His purple eyes grew big with the huge news.

“Why?”

“Yssi and Dad fought so much. That’s why she’s not coming.”

Such an impossible story, but it was natural for a three-year-old child to believe such a story.

“Mom’s not coming……?”

“Yeah.”

Cassius nodded and talked with a serious face.

Of course, he was laughing a lot inside.

“Now it’s just Yssi and Daddy.”

The words quickly filled the purple eyes with tears.

“Don’t wanna….”

Cassius held the child, who was about to shed tears, holding back a smile that seemed to leak through his lips.

He thought this was enough of a tease.

‘I have to stop teasing him.’

Cassius opened his mouth, thinking inwardly.

He’s stated the fact that what he said so far is a joke, and Yerine would say she would come back if she and Yssius didn’t fight each other in the future.

“Well, it’s time. If you and I don’t fight, she’ll be back……”

“Don’t wannaaa, uh, uh!”

When Cassius couldn’t finish his sentence, Yssius burst into tears as if the sky had fallen.

“Wait, it’s! Mom~”

“Bring Mommy here! Mommy, where are you?”

Yssius, waving his small hand in stormy tears, was not already able to hear Cassius.

‘Wow, I’m in trouble.’

At that time Cassius’s head was dimmed, the door burst open and surprised-faced Yerine and Erica jumped in.

***

Surprised by the sad cry as if the world had collapsed, I ran toward the main palace.

Erica, who was talking to me, also ran after me with a surprised face.

As I entered the main palace, Yssius’s cry was louder, and I opened the door with the loudest cry.

“Yssi!”

When I went in, I saw Yssius crying his eyes out.

The eyes of Cassius, who held crying Yssius with both arms and lifted it into the air, met mine.

I noticed at once when I saw his gold eyes shaking in bewilderment.

‘Cassius teasing him again.’

Erica frowned and asked Cassius as if she felt the same way.

“Your Majesty teasing him, right?”

“No, it’s not that……”

Cassius’s voice as an excuse was buried in Yssius’s voice, which began to cry louder when he found me.

“Mommy, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

With tears and a runny nose, he stretched out his short arms toward me, then I hugged the wriggling child.

“Oh, what’s upsetting you? Mommy is here, so ’dduk’ !”

I kissed his forehead and patted him on the back to soothe the child, but Yssius did not stop crying easily.

“Mom, Mom, don’t go….”

With his brackish hands clasping the hem of his clothes, Yssius grinned and stuttered.

“Huh? Where is Mommy going?”

I told Yssius that I’m just going to bed. I thought he understood well.

“No way.”

Looking back, Cassius was sweating cold with a look on his face, ‘I’m really dead today.’

As expected, I looked at Cassius coldly, wondering what he had done.

“Cassius, what did you say to Yssi?”

“Oh, no, Yerine, I didn’t know he was gonna cry like this.”

“Then, Cassius eventually teasing on him again, right?”

When asked bluntly, Cassius finally bit his lip and nodded.

“You teased him again, didn’t you? How many times have I told you not to tease him like that?”

I talked, beating Cassius in the back with a hand that did not hold Yssius.

“Oh, Yerine, wait, it hurts.”

“Oh, my God. Do you want to tease your three-year-old son when you’re an adult? You don’t listen to me even if I tell you not to fight!”

“Yerine, I’m sorry, I was wrong, it’s my mistake!”

Meanwhile, Erica quietly looked at the scene from the corner and said a word.

“Honestly, Your Majesty has nothing to say even if Her Majesty beat you more. It seems like, Your Majesty teases him every time I come.”

As expected of Erica.

She only chooses what I want to say.

“Blothea, that’s an exaggeration. I’ve never done that.”

“What do you mean no? What Erica said is right.”

Cassius, who was quietly refuting Erica’s words, shut up if he had anything to say when I supported her.

Erica, who burst into laughter as she saw it, approached me and accepted Yssius, who was still whimpering with thick tears.

“Who’s been teasing you? Who made our cute baby angel Yssi cry?”

“Daddy is…….”

Cassius looked resigned at the incomparable testimony.

But Erica kept asking questions with a playful smile.

“Then who’s the bad guy who always makes Yssi cry?”

“Daddy”

“Then who do you like better, Daddy who made Yssi cries all the time or the good Aunt Erica?”

Cassius rebelled against the obvious question.

“Blothea, don’t you think it’s a little weird to say you’re nice yourself? Do you have a conscience?”

“Cassius, I don’t think that’s what Cassius has to say.”

Cassius had a look of great injustice at my words. Soon there was an answer from Yssius, who cried and made a nasal sound.

“….. likes Aunt Erie more.”

Cassius’s expression became gloomy with no hesitation.

“I hate Daddy.”

“Look, he hates Your Majesty because Your Majesty always teases him.”

Erica sighed and brought Yssius back into my arms.

The corners of her lips, looking at Cassius, were creeping up.

“By the way, make it work. Are you still a kid?”

As I stabbed Cassius in the shoulder, he replied with a shrug.

“I’m sorry, honey.”

I guess he’s reflecting on himself now.

“Even if you call me honey, I won’t let you off the hook.”

I said, wiping Yssius’s eyes, who was asleep because he was tired of crying.

“What the hell did you tease him off?”

Cassius, in my words, confessed what had happened.

And after hearing all that, I wanted to slap Cassius in the back again.

Erica, who heard the story together, also said with a serious look on her face.

“Your Majesty really needs to be beaten so I have nothing to say.”

Cassius did not puke Erica either.

A sigh rising from deep down, I glanced at Cassius with my hands on my forehead.

“Why did you lie like that?”

Cassius, who was choosing his words what to say, stuttered to open his mouth.

“I must have been crazy for a while.”

“I guess so.”

I got up and walked toward the door with Yssius.

“Erika, let’s go. I’m sorry to distract you.”

“No.”

Erica shook her head and replied.

Her eyes were on Cassius.

“The cause of all this is not you, but the Emperor, who is busy teasing his son.”

Cassius was subdued by the words that hit the nail on the head.

“That’s right.”

In my cold voice, Cassius looked at me fidgeting.

“Well, Yerine, I’m sorry.”

“I’m not the one Cassius should apologize for.”

“Of course! I’ll apologize as soon as I wake up.”

And that’s not enough to say why.

Casius added an apology again, perhaps thinking.

“I’m so sorry…….”

“Well, as long as you know.”

I turned the doorknob and spoke in a dry tone.

“And let’s use separate rooms tonight.”

Cassius looked shocked at the words.

“What……?”

“I think Yssi is going to sleep like this until the evening, and even if he wakes up, he’s going to cry again when he sees Cassius.”

It was a plausible reason, but this was not the fundamental reason for asking for separate rooms.

It was because I thought using shock therapy would reduce Cassius’s teasing in the future.

“Now, wait a minute, Yerine, each room is a little……”

Cassius made a more urgent voice than when he was caught making Yssius cry.

“I’m going to sleep in Yssi’s room, so Cassius sleeps alone tonight. Then Erica and I will go now.”

“Yerine, wait a minute!”

Casius rushed in a sincere hurry and knelt before me.

“Yerine, honey. I’m so sorry, I’ll do better in the future, so just separate room is just~~~”

That day Cassius begged to be reached in the presence of Erica but to no avail.

Eventually, he had to sleep that night in my bed, biting off a cold blanket.
