Chapter 4
Elysia couldn’t enter the parlor and paced at the door.
Cassian ca to the mansion. Her ability must have worked, but why did he say that?
With this body, she felt anxiety about the ability she used for the first ti.
She opened the door of the parlor, finding herself looking at the tooth marks left on his neck.
‘Wow... It’s no joke.’
As soon as she entered the parlor, she held her breath at the scent.
Today he had his bangs down intact.
He looked handso revealing his forehead, but he also looked good with his bangs down like that.
“I finally get to see you, Lady.”
Is he speaking up because he doesn’t rember?
But if that’s the case, haven’t they been talking since the first ti they t?
Elysia saw the employees standing behind him.
Are you speaking in honorifics because of the employees’ gaze?
Cassian reached out to Elysia.
“Nice to see you again, Duke.”
Cassian smiled as he looked at her immaculate hands, placed coyly on his palm.
He bowed his head and kissed the back of Elysia’s hand.
Even though it was just a formal greeting, the back of her hand seed to be burning.
‘It’s all because of his sll.’
Even though she drank blood just before eting him, it was so hard.
Elysia struggled not to let go of the tension.
Cassian’s purple eyes exude a languid and relaxed atmosphere.
She looked at his face to see if he rembered sothing, but she couldn’t see anything.
Elysia let go of her hand. No, she tried to let go, but her hand didn’t budge.
“?!”
Cassian slipped his hold on her hand and narrowed the distance.
The closer he got to her, the harder it was for her.
‘I can’t say anything at all. I have to go outside.’
The parlor couldn’t be said to be narrow, but it was a no-no to be trapped in this enclosed space with his body.
“I’d like to take a walk, is it okay?”
“Sure”
And Cassian, holding Elysia’s hand, headed out.
She wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
He walked forward without saying anything, and Elysia tried to find her composure by biting her lower lip.
She had the employees far away and then looked back at Cassian.
“This should be enough.”
Elysia’s mouth trembled at the short speech.
She said, giving strength to the hand he held.
“Now let go.”
He looked at Elysia and let go of her hand.
As soon as he let go of her hand, Elysia widened her distance.
“My hands are cold. It seems like it was not just your hands but also other places.”
“What?”
She turned to look at his face.
Cassian paused and opened his mouth.
“Are you usually sensitive to cold? I told you to keep holding at night if it was cold...”
Oh My God.
Elysia groaned at the main subject coming in without hesitation, grabbing her coat and pulling it.
Cassian raised the corners of his mouth.
“What?! Damn, you rember everything...”
She couldn’t let go of her coat even though she felt it was difficult to control breathing at a distance close enough to feel each other’s breath.
She had no idea what to say first.
What she couldn’t believe has co true.
“What were you trying to do to then?”
It was difficult to understand what he was referring to since she did many things to him.
“The magic didn’t work on , though it did have a different feeling.”
‘What? Do you an mind magic? Or... my ability?’
Cassian pulled out the coat from Elysia’s hand.
Then he grabbed one of her hands and touched it to the nape of his neck and opened his mouth.
“Ah!”
“You’ll definitely need this again, and when you do please co to .”
‘You rember. The ability didn’t work.’
As the other party convinced her, her shaky red eyes beca calm.
It occurred to her that it might have been the effect of mind magic on him because her ability did not work.
It didn’t matter anymore why the ability didn’t work.
Elysia’s eyes seed to shake, but she soon hid her facial expressions.
And with a smile that was worth knowing, she went a little closer towards him.
“Just tell what you want from .”
What do you want? Money? Or the body? Or is it that he is trying to use her family?
Elysia put her arms around his shoulders and pressed her body.
If there’s anything he wanted, don’t spin around and ask for it.
The Duke of Esteban was amassing more wealth than her family.
He probably doesn’t need money or support from a political standpoint. From a political standpoint, he would never need her help.
He is a man who can achieve whatever he wants without the help of Duke Lowell.
Then there was only one answer.
“Is this what you want?”
Elysia smiled, curving her eyes beautifully. Then he whispered into her ear.
Pit-a-pat. A sound that was difficult to tell whose heartbeat it was.
She gathered strength on her hand and that was going around his neck.
At the sa ti, Cassian caught both wrists.
“...!”
“This is the most obvious way for you, but what should I do? Because I’m not that weak.”
“Tell what you want.”
Elysia tried to get her hand out, thinking that she would win by force if the magic didn’t work.
As she energized her hand, Cassian frowned and turned to her.
“Stop. I have no intention of telling anyone, so let’s calm down for now.”
Seeing his relaxed expression made her feel worse.
He lowered his head and said, closer to her face.
“Please don’t avoid and let’s continue to et. Also, co find when you need blood. All I want are these two things.”
“Are you threatening now?”
The n, who ca to know her identity even from her previous life, were most mistaken as if they are the only ones who could help.
They said they would keep it a secret, and if she needs blood, find them.
The results were always the sa, and in the end, she had to fall behind, fearing that information about her identity would eventually leak out.
Elysia smiled bitterly at the situation that reminded her of her past.
“I can’t help it, but I’ll take it that way.”
“What if I want to refuse?”
“No. You don’t have a choice.”
He held a sly smile with only one corner of his mouth raised.
Elysia closed her lips tightly. It would have been better if he was clear about the thing he wanted.
It was ambiguous to say that he wanted her body, and it was a bit strange to say that it was simply surveillance.
Anyway, the result was that she had to be dragged around because of her weakness.
This is the worst.
Elysia sarcastically said.
“Do you want to play, love?”
“I’ll call it surveillance. I’m not sure if I can leave you alone.”
“Yes, I don’t know if the day will co when you think it’s safe.”
How can he prove it’s safe once she’s been caught sucking blood?
It was impossible to show a state of vampirism and stopping to the extent that it would not interfere with her normal life.
‘This is all because of the Duke.’
If it weren’t for his body, she wouldn’t have had such an accident that day.
If she had bitten soone other than Cassian, she would have been able to fix it.
She doesn’t know how long his vow ‘I won’t let anyone know’ will last, but she was glad that he really didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that now.
Elysia laughed curiously.
He doesn’t even know how long that heart will last.
He was a man in a position to cut down anything anyti he thought it wasn’t safe.
“Ah, is this what you want to do? A relationship?”
“I hate both of them, but it must be a romance ga to others. You know about the very loud scandal these days, right?”
Elysia, who tried to tell him to correct the false rumors quickly, wondered what to do.
Anyway, if she kept eting Cassian, it was clear that even if she published a correction article, the words would co out.
“Because the Crown Prince is bothered?”
“Not at all. When did you say you two broke up?”
Elysia frowned as if she was really displeased.
“But how often do we have to et?”
“I think every day will be a little difficult.”
“Duke, even if we were to have a relationship, I don’t think I will et you that often.”
“Once every four days.”
Elysia hesitated for a mont and opened her mouth.
“Once every four days, I’m in trouble. Once a month, it’s better.”
“Once every five days.”
“2 weeks.”
“Let’s make it a week. No more.”
“Fine. ”
Even once a week, it felt very short, but further compromise seed difficult.
Cassian rummaged in his arms and held out a small box.
It was obviously a ring case to anyone.
Pretty hands, long fingers, invisible to the sword hand opened the box.
As expected, it really had a ring in it.
A bright red jewel was embedded in the middle of a ring of moderate thickness of platinum.
As he set his eyes on her hand as if he was going to put the ring on her hand, Elysia asked, hiding both hands behind her.
“What is this?”
He put the ring on his palm as if he had given up on putting it in, holding Elysia’s hand and asking her to check it for herself.
Elysia looked at him with a suspicious gaze, then lowered her gaze to the ring.
It was not a gemstone, but a magic stone.
Looking at the magic engraved on the magic stone, the magic to move to a specific place was engraved.
‘How much is this?’
It was a limited magic stone which was engraved with magic, and it is really difficult to obtain magic stones. It’s because only one really small gemstone ca out when you caught a high-class monster.
It was enough to build a few mansions of nobles in the capital with a gemstone the size of a little fingernail embedded in this ring.
No, I think I could buy a whole street.
“It’s a magic tool. Where is it set to go?”
“My room.”
“What?”
Elysia opened her mouth blankly at the answer.
“The room where you stayed. The employees are not allowed to enter without my permission, so you can use it comfortably.”
That’s absurd. The room could never be comfortable.
“I won’t take this.”
He took the ring from Elysia, who wanted to return the ring, and put it on the little finger of her right hand.
Then he smiled satisfactorily when he saw the ring shrink to fit her finger.
Since he made it impossible for others to take it out, unless he takes it out himself.
“Just take it. I don’t know how well you control those desires, but maybe there’s sothing else you need?”
“......”
Elysia couldn’t possibly answer his words.
As it was, it would only be necessary to drink human blood once a month, but as of now, she was not sure.
Besides, she did sothing to him because of her vampiric desires.
“Okay, then see you in a week.”
“Please contact .”
Cassian walked away without dissatisfaction, having achieved the purpose of his visit.
