Side Story 6. Small and precious thing (1)

I was happy to hear that I had a baby, but I was also worried.

In my previous life, I was an orphan, and by the time after I was possessed, my parents were already dead.

That’s why I wanted to build a family where I could exchange love normally.

I seemed to have thought that way, regretting that I died while living lonely without any ties that could be called sticky.

So when I had a family or if I had a deep relationship, I wanted to love it completely.

However, I was worried about whether I could be nice to my child or be a good parent after losing my parents.

Whenever that happened, Cassius comforted me a lot.

On the contrary, I comforted Cassius when he worried about such things.

Nine months passed as we hugged, comforted, and talked to each other.

And the child that I missed so much was born.

Cassius, who was in tears when he found out I was pregnant, almost wept out as soon as he saw the baby born.

I still can’t forget the way he was shedding tears.

Time flew many times faster than before when the child was born.

Every time I saw a child, he grew up a little, and he could speak a little.

“Oh, pretty. Whose baby is this pretty, huh?”

The child laughed as I kissed his soft cheek that looked like sticky rice cake.

“Mom, mom.”

I looked down at the smiling child, holding his chubby finger outstretched towards me.

“Yes, my baby is the prettiest in the world!”

I said so and put my lips on the child’s white belly and blew air.

The child smiled ticklishly and struggled with his short legs.

Maybe it’s because it’s my child, but he was really cute.

Honestly, I thought I would die from this cuteness and prettiness when I gave birth, but now he’s become more pretty and cute.

“Yssi, let’s kiss!”

(T/N: Yssi is a boy and pronounced as Yissi)

With that said, Cassius smiled and approached as I kissed the child’s small lips.

“Yssi, Daddy, too! Give Daddy a kiss, too!”

Cassius held out his lips and put his face close to the child, but his face was blocked by the baby’s both hands.

“Daddy, don’t wanna.”

The child, who put his hands on Cassius’ face, said in a determined voice.

Cassius did not give up, with a tearful expression and put his face in, but the child was stubborn.

I patted the child’s cheek and opened my mouth.

“Yssius, Daddy wants a kiss, too. Let’s do it just once.”

“Um…….”

Dithering, Yssius eventually put his hands away at my words.

Cassius seemed to have thought this was the time and quickly kissed Yssius before he changed his mind.

“Phew, it’s so hard to get a kiss from my son.”

When I saw Cassius sighing, I burst into laughter and held Yssius in my arms.

Yssius especially liked me more than Cassius, which, in a way, was natural.

‘Well, because Yssius took all appearances, even personality…….’

Yssius resembled Cassius to the point where he could be called a miniature of Cassius.

The only part different from Cassius was Yssius eyes, even though the shape of Yssius eyes resembled Cassius, the colour of Yssius pupils was purple, the same as my right eye.

And since the two men’s sleeping appearance and taste in snacks were exactly the same, it was not strange for Yssius to follow me like Cassius, who likes me very much.

“I’m upset that I’m hated by my son, but my wife won’t do that, will you?”

Before I knew it, Cassius came to my side and hugged me from behind and talked.

“Yerine, will you kiss me?”

“Oh, what kind of kiss you do again.”

“Wow, that’s too much. You’re only going to kiss Yssius, not me?”

“I told you not to be jealous of the kid.”

I looked at Cassius, who looked unfairly treated and slapped him.

“That’s why Yssi hates Cassius.”

“Why? What’s wrong with me wanting a kiss from my wife? Can’t you kiss your son and your husband both?”

It was amazing to be able to say such a strange thing so proudly.

“Sigh, I got it. I got it.”

Eventually, I kissed Cassius on the cheek pretending to be unable to win.

Why doesn’t that change even after the years have passed?

“Is that enough? Do you like it?”

“Yes, I love it.”

I seemed satisfied to see the answers and refreshing smiles that came out without hesitation for a second.

“Mom, Yssi too.”

Yssius grabbed the hem of my clothes with his small hand and stroked.

Cassius then rolled up the corners of his lip and clung to my side.

“Yssi already kissed Mommy many times. So today Mommy is only going to kiss Daddy.”

“No, no, no. Yssi too, kiss Mommy.”

The calm face of Yssius began to rise, but Cassius already seemed excited to turn Yssius around.

“No, Mommy kisses only for Daddy today.”

“No…….”

When tears welled up in Yssius’s purple eyes, I smacked Cassius’s back with all my might.

“Oh, come on. Why are you teasing him so much?”

Cassius couldn’t hide his laughter, even though I know his back must be really in pain.

“I always want to tease him when I see you. Honestly, it’s cute.”

“Oh, my God. I’ll just…….”

I kissed Yssius on the forehead and kissed Cassius on the back of his nose smiling next to him.

“Now, I’ve done it fairly one more time, so stop fighting.”

Only then did Yssius stop sniffing, and Cassius stopped shrugging and teasing.

“Hello, Yssi! Hi!”

When he saw Erica smiling with her hands waving, Yssius still raised one hand and shook it awkwardly.

“Well done! Our Yssi is so pretty.”

As if she can’t help it since Yssius is so cute, Erica slightly pinched Yssius’s cheek in my arms.

“Erie, am I pretty?”

Yssius didn’t follow others well, but he opened his heart to Erica quite quickly.

Maybe that’s why he knew Erica’s name, though not perfectly.

Erica also loved Yssius a lot, so she often visited and went to see his face.

So much so that Yssius felt comfortable with Erica.

Just as I use informal language to Cassius and Yssius in private, Erica and Yssius used informal language to each other except when they met in public.

“Well, Yssi is the prettiest thing in the world!”

At Erica’s words with a big smile, Yssius smiled and shook his body.

Wow, he looks like an angel.

It’s my child but objectively so cute.

“Yerine, I just noticed.”

“Huh?”

I asked back holding Yssius, excited by Erica’s words and shaking his hips, so that he wouldn’t fall off.

“I think Yssius looks like you when he smiles.”

“Oh, really?”

I looked down at Yssius, who was still swaying back and forth excitedly, but it was hard for me to know.

Maybe it’s because I saw Cassius’s face more than mine in Yssius. I’m not really sure.

“Yeah, I don’t think Yssius looks much like you, but sometimes I see you when Yssius smiles.”

“Oh, I see. I didn’t know.”

I know, I had him for 10 months and gave birth to him with a stomach, but there must be some aspects of him that resemble me.

“You may not be able to see it well because you always hear that Yssius resembles His Majesty a lot.”

Erica put her chin on the table and said.

“Honestly, I was so surprised when I first saw him.”

“That’s understandable. As soon as I gave birth, I was very surprised to see it.”

“If Yssius had golden eyes, everyone would have thought His Majesty gave birth to him, not you.”

“Who you said that gave birth?”

A huge shadow cast behind Erica, who was resting her chin.

“Oh, my gosh.”

Erica said, straightening up.

“You don’t look surprised by the look on your face, Blothea.”

“Oh, my God, did I get caught?”

Just then, Yssius who was snorting his nose couldn’t hold back and sneezed.

“Achoo!”

Just then, a thin spark rose into the air and a white tablecloth caught fire.

“Oh, my God.”

To prevent the embers from splashing out, I quickly wrapped my arms around Yssius and used water magic with my left hand, which did not hold the child.

As the stream flowed out, the fire went out with a pushy sound, leaving a black mark on the tablecloth.

“Gasp, are you all right, Yerine?”

Erica asked with great surprise.

“Oh, I’m fine.”

Yssius looked from place to place, but fortunately, he didn’t seem to be hurt.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

‘It’s been like this a lot lately.’

Yssius inherited my ability, and sometimes when he sneezed, flame magic would pop out.

Nothing dangerous has happened yet, but Cassius and I have been paying more attention to Yssius because of this.

“Yerine.”

I replied to Cassius, looking down at me with a worried face.

I could tell what he was asking without saying.

“It’s okay, I’m fine, and I don’t think Yssius was hurt.”

Cassius seemed more relieved at the words.

“Well, that’s a relief, but I’ll use healing magic just in case. And it’s time for me to see Yssius, Yerine.”

“Oh, the time has already come.”

“Yeah, get some rest talking to Blothea.”

With that said, Cassius tried to take over Yssius in my arms.

But Yssius held on to my clothes with his brackish hands and refused to let go.

“Don’t wanna! I want to stay with Mommy….…!”

Cassius gave a distant look as he looked at his purple eyes filled with tears.

“It’s time for Mommy to play. Let’s hang out with Daddy now.”

“Don’t wanna!”

Erica tried to soothe the child who shook his head with tears in his eyes.

“Yssi, if you hang out with Daddy now, Mommy will be playing with you longer tomorrow. So let’s hang out with Daddy just this time.”

“Woo, Erie, but…….”

“Yssi, let’s play with Daddy today. Without Yssi, Daddy will be lonely because Daddy has no friends.”

“Hey, Blothea?”

Whether it’s true or not, Erica kept placating the child.

“If Yssi is nice with Daddy, Auntie can buy Yssi a present next time.”

“Really?”

Before I knew it, I stroked Yssius’ head, shining with sparkling eyes at Erica’s words.

“Yes, Aunt Erica says she’ll buy you a present if you listen.”

“Yes.”

I looked at the child with a slight nod and pretended to yawn as if I was sleepy.

“I’m so sleepy that I want to snore in my sleep, can you stay with Daddy?”

“Mom, you want to snore…….?”

“Yes, I want to snore. I can do that if Yssi helps.”

Eventually, Yssius let me go.

As soon as Cassius hugged him, he invoked healing magic and shook his arm slightly.

“Yssi, let’s say bye to Mommy. Bye, Mommy!

“Mom’s bye….…”

Yssius, who was reluctantly waving, disappeared into the main palace, surrounded by a warm ball of light and held in Cassius’s arms.

Seeing Yssius’s sad expression, I thought I was doing something really bad, but I couldn’t help it.

Because the child only sticks to me and shows no signs of becoming close to Cassius, I decided to make a schedule for him to stay with Cassius even for a few hours a day.

“You can rest a little now, right?”

Erica asked, pushing the pudding in the middle of the table towards me.

“Yes, Cassius will keep watching for him until you go.”

It’s been less than half an hour since I answered with such a smile.

As I was talking to Erica, as usual, I heard a tearful cry from the main palace.

“Don’t wannaaaa, uh, uh!”

It was the cry of Yssius.
