" If that plan is truly to work, I think you and Lord Bridgerton should get a little but Closer." Ella says as Cassandra was on the Second floor of Cowper Manor "You mean a fake Courtship? Dream on." Cassandra rolls her eyes
" Well, Eloise might admit that something might have happened back in the Country, That's why its an Shotgun wedding." Ella reminds, Cassandra squinted her eyes and Paused for a moment
It would be a Good Idea, But These types of Ruses always end up with the Other Person falling for the Other. Cassandra thought to her self
" I think that Idea is not too Wise." Cassandra admits and Ella shrugs "Suit Yourself." She says before she walks off, Cassandra sighs and rests her Elbow in the Railing and just Enjoy the music.
" Have you heard anything from Eloise?" Lord Bridgerton asks from behind, Cassandra backs up away from the railing and crosses her hands as she shakes her head side to side. "She refuses to tell me anything." Cassandra says and Anthony nods
" I am sure your second plan You have Hatched will work." Anthony admits as he walks beside the Princess "Thank you." Cassandra says looking at his eyes
They Both gazed at Eachother's eyes For a few minutes, Not taking them off, As if they were glued. "Lord Bridgerton I—"
" Anthony."
Cassandra widened her eyes for a moment "Pardon?" She asks "You may Call me Anthony Your Highness."
Anthony... She couldn't bring the word to escape her lips. It's as if something was pulling it back, She took a deep breath and Looked into his eyes again
"Anthony."
She finally says before she faced the Chandelier, The Light was Illuminating through her eyes, Anthony smiled and also looked at the Chandelier.
He never Let any Other Woman call him By his Name, Except for Sienna. It was rare for him to allow such Permission
Cassandra stood stiffly, Thinking of what the hell she'd Said earlier. She took a deep breath as the awkward silence continued.
" Once The Season is Over, Are you to Return to Prussia?" Anthony asks and Cassandra nods and tapped her feet "It will take another decade for me to return—My Country needs me." The Princess says as she puts her arms down
Anthony thinned his lips and Took a deep breath, He was wondering why he felt sad and Angry. It actually... Oh no
No, No, No. It hurts.
" I will Miss this place, Four more months and I leave." Cassandra adds, Anthony held back his tears and put on a forced smile.
Silence again Drowned in, The faint sound of chatters were the only thing that kept the two distracted.
Anthony moved his hand near hers, As if they were Both Magnets. He held her Hand and gently stroked her wrist with his Finger. Cassandra took a deep breath quietly as the Viscount continued to stroke her Wrist
" Cass!" Someone calls and the Two pull their hands away swiftly, Cassandra turned to look and it was Anne "Want punch?" Anne asks and Cassandra nods "Yes Please." The Princess says
"Alright, I'll bring it here." Anne says walking back down the stairs. Cassandra lets out a Sigh
" I suggest you leave right now my Lord. Before anyone sees us." Cassandra informs "But I wish to—"
" Please Anthony." Cassandra begs, Anthony looked at her for a moment and nods before he walks off
Cassandra closed her eyes and tears dripped down, She wiped them away and Walked on another direction "Cass? Are you alright?" Anne asks from a distance "I wish to be alone Anne."
-
Cassandra shut the door of the Powder room, and paced around with her knuckles latched onto her lips. She was Falling for him, Dear Lord. She was.
" Gods." She cries out before squatting down the floor. Cassandra promised not to love.
Love was just a Barrier to her success.

" Anthony where have you been?" Lady Bridgerton asks, Anthony continues to walk down the stairs "Upstairs." Anthony says Bitterly
Lady Bridgerton already knew something was wrong "Anthony, What happened?" Lady Bridgerton asks again and Anthony didn't respond as he went outside the Manor
" Anthony! This is the Last time I'll ask, What happened!" Lady Bridgerton shouts, Anthony stopped walking and turned to look at his Mother, He had swollen eyes and placed his hands on My Hips
" I have affection for her. Her!" Anthony shouts, Lady Bridgerton knew who he was talking about. " My Boy—"
" Good Night Mother." He announces as the Carriage pulled over and he hops in "Anthony!" Lady Bridgerton calls out but to no Avail
Violet sighs deeply and looks at the Carriage. What a Life.
