The reason why Cassius wasn't was that he was Lestat’s firstborn. Only a couple of people knew that his mother was also Lestat’s fated mate, a witch. But instead of winning her heart with love, he raped her in order to claim her, ruining his chance with her big time.
For now, Cassius wished that Eleazer wouldn’t make the same mistakes that he did in his previous life.

"Where were you?" Theodore asked when Eleazer reached him. Liara too wanted to know because she was positive that he wasn’t around. She didn’t have the power to see the past or future until Luna wanted to show her anything, so even she had no idea where he was.
"I was around." Eleazer lied, shrugging his shoulders. "Don’t tell me that you were waiting for me."
"We were, El." Liara corrected him with a frown. "Don’t go anywhere because we all will be cutting the cake together." She added, to which Eleazer nodded his head. "Don’t you dare do something opposite to it OR I swear that you will be eating green vegetables for a week; I won’t allow non-vegetarians at home at all."
Theodore coughed at that threat, and Eleazer’s face paled. A part of them was a beast and feeding only green vegetables for a week was like giving grass to lions.
"Aaa.." Griffin grinned widely, looking at both of them.
"You're enjoying this, don't you?" Eleazer glared at Griffin.
"Behave, El. Unlike you, he was here all the time."
"That's because he can't walk." Eleazer reasoned out and shut his mouth when he received a glare from Liara.
After that, Eleazer stayed by Liara’s side throughout the time, from cutting the wedding cake together to dancing with her, in which she carried him in her arms.
"Mom!!"
"Hm"
"Are you still mad at me?"
"Lying is a bad manner. I know you weren't around." Liara responded. "I learned from Cass what happened outside." Eleazer pouted while getting scolded by his mother. "At the same time, I'm proud of you."
"You do?"
"I do," Liara admitted. She had never left a chance to whoop Eleazer's ass or scold him because of his naughty behavior. So, she felt that she needed to praise him too in case he did something good. She didn't miss how his face lit up like a light
"Mom!!"
"Hm"
"I love you." Leaning towards her, he kissed her cheek. Liara stared at him for a while. She realized that he was waiting for her reply.
"I love you too, El." She admitted it, hugging him close. Deep down, she had always been She didn’t kill him, not because she wasn’t a murderer but because she didn’t want to. She shared her thoughts of getting rid of him with her mother, knowing she would say the same thing that she wanted to hear. In that way, she could blame Sophia for that decision.
She still remembered how her heart had missed a beat when he wasn’t crying after birth.
Liara’s eyes landed on Theodore, who was dancing with Griffin, but his eyes were on her as if he knew what was going on in her mind.
They would try their best to raise Eleazer right; the rest of the things would depend upon Eleazer’s own choices that he would make.
'I never knew that I would have a perfect family like this.' Theodore mind-linked. Liara smiled at his words before responding.
‘I believe you will thank me all night for that and for this, won’t you?’
‘Absolutely. In fact, I will thank you for my whole life.' Liara blushed, and her cheeks turned a deep shade of red.
