I'm Not Interested In The Main Characters

“It’s ruined.”

“Calm down. mother.”

Elysia held Cardel’s arm and wept.

“Did something go wrong?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know either.”

Elysia let out a sigh. She wasn’t trying to seduce him, it was Cassian who was trying to seduce her. He felt very much like someone determined to possess her.

‘What? Take responsibility…?’

Was there really anything she could say? Even though he saw her face for the first time today, he had already said that. If there had been another woman who went to his bedroom, would he have said that as well?

“I’m suddenly pissed off.”

Was he instinctively using that honey trap? Or was she just too weak against Cassian?

As soon as she saw his face, Elysia’s depressed feelings disappeared like snow melting. It was the moment when all the troubles were for naught.

“So, are you going to the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes.”

They had already finished talking about it and parted ways.

‘Then, I’ll see him tomorrow.’

He looked like he had a lot to ask and a lot to say.

Elysia felt somehow frightened, and she regretted asking the Emperor to have Cassian as her escort. Perhaps, it was because he hadn’t seen him in a while, so she thought they could take a little time and meet each other slowly.

She had a hunch that she would be involved with him tomorrow as well.

After Story 2. Cassian’s Anxiety

“Here you are. I don’t know how long you’ll be staying, but I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

Cassian was a little surprised to see the chief attendant personally guide him to the Palace. He was curious about Elysia’s position in the magic tower.

“Still, I didn’t see a single attendant?”

While he considered himself a close escort, she was an important guest, and there were no knights guarding the palace. Even after entering, not a single attendant was to be seen.

“Since the guest is a sensitive person, the attendant is waiting in the Palace next door.”

If Elysia had heard of it, she would say why he said such a useless thing? The chief attendant went further inside and stopped.

“You can stay here.”

“Me?”

To stay… He didn’t seem to be telling Cassian that he could rest here.

“Oh, didn’t you hear? You must stay in this Palace for as long as you are entrusted as an escort.”

Cassian, frowning at those words, glanced right next to what he said was his room. Just looking at it, it was the most ornately decorated door in the Palace. Feeling the presence inside, he nodded at the chief attendant.

“It is right next door. Only she can call the attendant, so please keep that in mind. Then, I will take my leave.”

As the chief attendant held his breath, he hurriedly left the palace after he had finished his words. When Cassian looked at the chief attendant’s back in a strange mood, he approached Elysia’s bedroom.

There were not one or two strange things, but what did it matter anymore?

Taking a deep breath, he knocked.

“Lady Elysia.”

There was no response.

Was she sleeping by any chance? But, it was well past noon. He thought about waiting until she called him first, but when he knocked again, he heard a very small voice.

“…Cassian.”

Now, they could really have a conversation without anyone interfering. Cassian opened his mouth, thinking about what to say first.

“Is it okay if I come in?”

“Yes.”

While it was a sleepy voice, it was definitely permission.

After hesitating for a moment, Cassian paused as he opened the door. He saw Elysia lying on the bed, burying her face in the pillow.

Concerned about her irregular breathing, he moved closer.

“Where are you sick?”

“Cassian…?”

It seemed like she had told him to come in in her sleep. Elysia turned her head to look at him, her eyes slightly loose.

“Yes.”

“…It’s Cassian. Is it a dream?”

In an instant, his wrist was grabbed, and his body was pulled. Surprised by her strong strength, Cassian, who laid next to her, was frozen as Elysia burrowed into his arms.

“It is not a dream.”

Carefully, he put his hand on her shoulder and tried to push her away though she pressed her body pressed closer together with an annoyed voice.

“…You can’t push me away.”

Puzzled by her calling him affectionately, Cassian lowered his head to gaze at Elysia in his arms. Could it be that that man had the same name as him? No, right? So now, she must be sleepwalking, thinking of him.

“Lady Elysia.”

“Don’t get up. It’s been a while.”

It was a clearer voice than before.

“Elysia.”

Cassian called her name again. Even though Elysia herself was half-asleep, she herself wondered why this situation felt like a dream to her. She never thought she would face him in this way, but she felt a fullness rise from her toes.

“Wait…”

Soon, the hand on his chest slipped down.

Her fingers squeezed through the gap between his shirt and pants, and her fingers dug into his shirt. Only then did Cassian come to his senses and push Elysia away. Was she taking revenge for calling her name without the word ‘Lady’?

“Lady Elysia.”

Elysia climbed onto him, burying her face in the nape of his neck before taking a long breath. Her breath against the nape of his neck tensed his body.

“Ah.”

Cassian turned his body and pushed her aside, then immediately grabbed her back. It seemed that he would show a bad appearance if they stayed longer this way. They hadn’t had a proper conversation yet, so it would be difficult if things went wrong.

“Cassian?”

“…Yes.”

“Crazy! Why are we lying together…?”

“We’re not lying down, so.”

As Elysia jumped up and got out of the bed, the red eyes that were moving busily to and fro met him.

“Uh… I get that. Could you please go outside for a while…?”

After barely speaking, she looked like she was in a lot of pain. Her twisted eyes were red.

Meanwhile, Cassian fretted over the idea that he had made a mistake as well. How strong was the hand that had pulled him? It couldn’t have been that powerful. He was angry as he rationalized himself that way.

“…I won’t back down.”

“Huh? What?”

“I’m entrusted as your escort.”

Elysia, who had moved her lips a few times as if to say something, let out a sigh and ruffled her hair. As she raised her arm, the thin negligee clung to her body.

Feeling the heat rise on his face, he turned his head quickly to hear her little laugh.

“Won’t back down. If you’re worried, you can stay there.”

“No.”

“It’s not bad to just look at you, it’s because it’s hard to bear it.”

The tips of Elysia’s ears were red as she left the bedroom after telling him to wait. Cassian, who had been sitting idly, buried his face in his palms.

‘I guess she didn’t see anything…’

Cassian bowed his head to see his pants and let out a sigh. It was not wrong to say that it was hard to endure, it seemed that way. It seemed that his mind had become a mess.

“Since when did you sleep like that…”

Elysia, who came out of the bedroom, running away, went to the bathroom with a tearful face. Although it was connected to the bedroom, the entrance for the servants could also be accessed through the hallway.

She snapped her fingers and immersed herself in the bathtub full of water.

“Ah, really… I almost attacked him.”

At first, she was really sleepy though the scar on his side woke her up. It was a scare when there was a horse fall accident.

‘…It’s a scar that Cassian didn’t have in the first place.’

Elysia pressed her finger to her eyes and bit her lip.

It was crazy… It was impossible for her to put up with him when she was alone with him. Besides, wasn’t he the naive Cassian who didn’t know anything? Even though he looked confident, perhaps because he was younger, he had less of Cassian’s natural composure.

The question was, why did his eyes become sexier, his lips redder, and his body scent thicker and more seductive?

“…Is it an illusion? Mmm. I mean, he has become more handsome.”

She didn’t know the objective standard, but it was like that when she saw it based on her taste.

Elysia closed her eyes as she dipped deeper into the bathtub. She didn’t know anything else, but she wanted to kiss him… No, did she want to suck his blood? If she was going to do something, she wanted to do something deeper than a kiss.

“I’m not giving him to anyone, why am I doing this?”

She had to do it slowly.

Did she need to be in a hurry? She waited for eight hundred years, couldn’t she wait for that moment? It would be difficult if she made a mistake, and he would then run away in surprise… Still, the Cassian she knew was someone who needed to be attacked.

…Would it be the same now?

He certainly felt like a different person when he spoke. Originally, if it were Cassian, he would have been the type to speak casually. If he didn’t know whether the other person was a noble or someone higher than him, he’d speak casually again.

“A different person…”

Yes, that Cassian and now Cassian were different.
