At the time during when Lyra is gone to the Capicastle with Cyan, Cassie is having her day off...

She was helping with her subordinates' experiments the other day, to the extent of bringing the work home, and so in return, her subordinates told her to take a breath at home today and leave the rest to them.

They felt bad since Cass was literally doing all their job.

Usually during her day off, she can teach the kids about magic and other things.

But, Altaire is still in school, and Lyra is not home, as well.

Cassie doesn't know what she should do, besides to relax at home and talk to Niina, Chloe, and Vince.

It has been long since she last spent her days alone.

From when she got married to Cyan, her life was nothing but busy. Her solemn, peaceful days alone were like a tale from the long, old time.

She was Sanctuaria branch family's only daughter. The main family only had sons, and their house was quite far away, so she was often alone when her parents went out for businesses.

Even if they were only branch family, her parents were often busy. She was used to spend her time alone in peace at home, reading her beloved books and trained her magic.

Whenever she was bored alone, she could always go to the garden and view the small yet lovely garden her family has--- and the one that Vince and his colleagues tended with care.

She would stare at various plants, and Vince would approach her and initiate the conversation. To Vince, Cassie is just like his own daughter. To Cassie, Vince is like her own uncle.

Most of the time, they would discuss about the plants' names, how they could be utilized, and other useful information, as Cass has always been an infomaniac.

Perhaps that thirst of knowledge drove her to study and learn anything that piqued her interest, resulting in her excellent academic grades.

And now, for the first time in forever, she decides she would try to do what her past self used to do.

She crouched down at the flowers and observed them.

But her mind was elsewhere.

...Damn, if only I know that waiting for either Alt and Lyra would seem as long as the eternity, I might as well come with Cyan to the castle.

Ah, could it be... Cyan is hogging Lyra again?!

She suddenly becomes upset to Cyan, who suggested her to take plenty of rest at home when she suggested she would accompany them. Though Cyan's intention is nice—that he doesn't want his wife to overwork, Cass feels like it's better for her to work rather than being idle like this. She wasn't much of a sleeper, anyway, so there is no way she can just sleep in all day long.

Speaking of Lyra...

Her mind trails off to think about her children again.

Compared to the carefree Altaire, Lyra seems to overthink lots of things. Unlike what children her age should be.

She was a really good girl since she was an infant. She almost never cried.

...Or did she?

She couldn't have hide herself whenever she felt like crying, right?
