Side Story 7. Small and precious things (1)

Clayton.

Oh, hello, Prince, did you have a good dream?

Yes.

Yssius nodded vigorously and said.

Yssius, now five years old, had a little girl in his arms.

Clayton smiled, slightly bowing to the girl.

Did you have a good dream, too, my Princess?

Yes.

The purple-haired girl nodded lightly.

I was hiding in the corner of the hallway and sneaking a look at those three.

But unaware of the fact, Yssius swept the girls hair with his hands and raised the child toward Clayton.

Our Caerine is so cute, right?

Of course, shes so cute.

And shes so beautiful, isnt she? Shes my sister.

All of the people in the Imperial Palace already knew that Caerine is Yssiuss little sister, but Yssius bragged about his little sister every time.

He used to remind everyone that he was her brother.

Youre right. Ive never seen anyone as cute as The Princess.

Yes.

Satisfied with the desired answer, Yssius turned to Clayton, saying, Have a good day today.

It was clear that he was going to stop by another user and brag about his little sister.

Is that good?

When Caerine was born and Yssius grew more and could carry Caerine, he walked around the palace every morning with her and started bragging that his little sister was cute.

It has already been almost six months since Yssius kept that habit.

I understood how Yssius, who likes his little sister, felt, but since we worried that there would be an accident that Yssius dropped Caerine by accident, we made a separate baby taker time.

And every morning Cassius and I took turns watching Yssius and Caerines morning quarters.

I thought brothers and sisters would usually fight a lot.

In the meantime, I thought while looking at Yssius, who spoke to another user.

Shes so cute. Shes my little sister.

As if to praise quickly, Yssius said with silent eyes of pressure.

Meanwhile, Caerines big gold eyes in her brothers arms were half-closed.

Caerine, who looked blankly at the user looking at her, yawned with a small mouth and rubbed her eyes with her sticky hand.

Oh, Cael, dont rub your eyes.

Yssius spoke with a slight grip on Caerines hand.

The users, who were looking at it, covered their mouths with their hands and looked thrilled.

The Princess yawned!

The Princesss mouth is so small and cute..

Right, isnt she cute?

Not forgetting to add one more silly comment, Yssius said, looking down at Caerine hanging in front of him.

Are you sleepy?

Eung.

Caerine said, nodding her head slowly.

Then lets go to sleep. Wait a minute, Cael. Well be right there.

Eung..

This gave me the strength to live today.

While secretly watching Yssius, who greeted the users and trotted toward Caerines bedroom, and Caerine, who was already half asleep.

***

If Yssius was a miniature of Cassius, Caerine was a miniature of me.

So when Caerine was born, both Cassius and Yssius were really happy.

Cassius, in particular, had a daughter who looked like me so much that he had a big smile.

Mommy.

Yes, Cael, whats wrong?

I looked back and two little children were staring at me.

Yssius placed Caerine on his lap with both legs as usual.

Caerine, who opened the silentness, looked at me silently and raised her chubby hand.

Caerine too, that one.

That one?

That one, Caerine wants to do that too.

Caerines fingers were pointed at my black hairband.

Oh, this?

Eung.

When I pointed to the headband and checked if it was correct, Caerine nodded.

Caerine too wants things similar to Mommy.

I guess she wants to do something similar to me.

I actually bought some child headdresses, and among them was a cute headband with black lace.

Then shall I put this on?

Eung!

I smiled at Caerine who nodded vigorously and put a headband on Caerines head.

Ta-da, now Caerine looks like Mommy too!

Then Caerine burst into laughter and liked it.

Cassius, who was watching it still, collapsed with excitement.

So cute.

Obviously, Caerine with a headband and a bright smile was very cute.

Im not saying shes cute because she looks like me, but objectively cute.

God, thank you.

Looking down at Cassius, who was quibbling, as usual, I poked Caerines cheek, smiling brightly.

Then Caerine smiled and clasped my fingers.

Oh, my heart hurts.

By the way, with this hairband on, she really looks like me.

Purple hair that slightly touches her shoulder, and her features that look like to put me there.

The only other thing was the colour of her eyes, golden like Cassius.

Can you give me a black hairband, Mommy?

Embracing the laughing Caerinee, Yssius shined his eyes.

I want to do something similar to Mommy too.

Oppa too, Oppa too!

Cassius then wrinkled his brow and agonized for a moment.

Is there a black headband that fits Yssius..?

Actually, there wasnt.

Among the headbands for children, all black was given to Caerine.

My headband wont fit Yssiuss head.

Well, Yssi, wait a minute.

I opened the drawer and found a black lace handkerchief.

I didnt use this handkerchief because I have one that I usually use, but I cant believe Im going to use it like this today.

Come on, Yssi could have this.

I folded the handkerchief well, wrapped it around Yssiuss head, and tied it up.

Its done.

Oppa too looks like Caerine!

Caerine, wearing a headband with a dainty black ribbon, clapped her hands and liked it.

Yssiuss face quickly turned red when he heard Caerine.

It was obvious that he liked it.

Mommy, how am I?

Cute!

When I answered without a second of hesitation, Yssius turned his head around with a happy face.

But the knot sticking out on the back of his head was so cute like a rabbits ear.

Cassius stood in front of the mirror holding hands together and holding his favourite children in his arms.

Look, you two are just like your mother.

The children, who were chirping from Cassiuss arms, clapped their hands as I stood side by side in front of the mirror.

The three of us look similar, Cael.

Like it!

Oh, you like it that much?

I received Caerine from Cassius and kissed her on the cheek.

Caerine nodded eagerly and smiled.

Cassius looked at the black hairband reflected in the mirror and asked his beloved Yssius in a slightly disappointed voice.

Yssi, dont you want to be like your dad?

Yssius expression hardened at the question.

Uh.

In fact, it was revealed to the world that he was not interested, but it seemed that he could not say anything because he knew Cassius would be upset if he said it.

Dont you want to be like Daddy?

At Cassiuss question that followed again, Yssius sighed.

Daddy, but were already so alike.

I couldnt hold back and burst into laughter at Yssiuss old mans tone, which seemed to have given up to some extent.

At one time, Yssius denied that he looked like Cassius and insisted that he looked like me.

The bigger he is, the more he looks like his father, so now he seems to have decided to admit the reality.

Oh, youre already so much like your Daddy that you dont have to do anything more?

At the question of Cassius, who barely held back his laughter, Yssius nodded.

Eung.

Well, have you ever thought about wearing something similar to Daddy?

Then Yssius shook his head from side to side.

Daddy, I told you, we already look just like each other.

And Yssius sighed and continued his speech.

The last time I stopped by the mayor, everyone passing by told me they knew I am your son.

Well, every time Yssius passes by, he always hears that.

The palace users even told me that Cassius was the only one that gave birth to him, not me.

I fully understood.

Haha, so you didnt like it?

Oh, no, its not that I dont like it.

Cassius answered negatively to Cassiuss question whether he unexpectedly disliked his resemblance.

I just thought what it would have been like to look more like Mommy like Caerinee.

I patted Yssius head and smiled broadly.

But, Mommy loves Yssius so much.

His sparkling, starry eyes fixed on me.

Even if Yssius doesnt look like Mommy, Mommy still loves Yssius as much as Caerine.

Caerine also love Daddy and Oppa.

Cassius and Yssius held their heart together in the words of the youngest, which seemed to melt the heart.

Im watching those two.

Oh, whats wrong with everyone?

Caerine, who looked at us with our hand on our chest, tilted her head and looked strange.

***

Mommy and Daddy both went to work and it was brother and sister time.

With all sorts of fairy tales and sketchbooks on the floor, Yssius looked through the morning newspapers he had obtained from Yerine.

Caerine, who was painting peacefully with crayons next to her, poked at Yssius with her small finger when her brother didnt move for a while.

What are you doing?

Yssius showed Caerine the bottom of a newspaper instead of an answer.

Cael, can you read this?

Huh?

Caerine has recently learned the letters.

Maybe thats why Yssius would sometimes read to Caerine.

Uh.

Yssius, who lay on his side with his belly flapping next to his sister, opened the newspaper and brought it to her eyes so that she could see it well.

The Red Eyes Archmage Trump.

Eung eung.

Yerine Spade Duke?

Right, Cael, youre so smart.

Yssius stroked Caerine on the head.

This is about Mommy, Cael.

Mommy?

Yes, yes. This Archmage is Mommy.

Then Caerine tilted her head.

Whats Archmage?

Eum

When asked by Caerine, Yssius took another look at the article.

In fact, he didnt know the meaning of the word red-eye.

Oh, it means a red-eyed, super-strong wizard.

Red eyes!

In the words, Caerine showed Yssius the picture he was drawing.

The painting showed a woman with purple hair, red eyes, and purple eyes.

It was obviously a painting of Yerine.

Yes, you did a great job! Lets show Mommy. Mommy will love it.

Yes!

Feeling better after hearing the compliment, Caerine swung her hand.

Oppa, can we be like Mommy when we have red eyes?

Yssius had never thought of such a thing.

So he held Caerines hand, who offered the great idea and spoke seriously.

Cael, youre a genius?

The Archmage of the Red Eye uproar, started right here.
