Aurora: So here's another chapter.
Cain: I can't wait to read it.
Cassandra: I know.
Riff: Who can?
Mary: Just so you guys know, you're not the only ones.
Cassandra: Who want to do the disclaimer?
Cain: I'll do it this time.
Everyone stares at him…
Cain: What is it?
Aurora: Nothing, go ahead.
Cain: Aurora doesn't own The Count Cain Saga or Godchild, they belong to Kaori Yuki. She does own the plot, herself as an OC, and Cassandra.
Aurora: Thanks Cain.
Cain: You're welcome. *Steals a kiss from me in the process.*
Aurora: *blushing*

Chapter 7: Realizing Feelings and Admitting Them
Once Lord Neil returned to his room, Lady Cassandra and I walked into Lord Cain's room.
"What was Uncle Neil talking about?" Lady Cassandra asked.
"No idea," he replied, but I knew that he was lying.
"If you say so," she commented.
That was when the doorbell rang. Lord Cain looked out the window, and saw Dominic Crehador standing there.
I let him in, since Lord Cain told me to open the door.
"How is everyone?" He wondered as everyone else came down stairs.
"Fine, how about you?" Lord Cain wondered.
He smiled. "I just stopped by to see if Cassandra wanted to come to the opera with me," he stated.
I knew that Lord Cain wouldn't let her go, but he had no choice.
"Alright, but bring her back once it's over," he agreed.
He nodded and led Lady Cassandra out the door.

Once they left, I realized that something was starting to eat away at me…it wasn't jealousy, but maybe worry. Yet I had a sneaking suspicion that I was starting to fall in love with Lady Cassandra.
As I was cleaning around the mansion, I heard Lord Cain and Lady Aurora talking.
"I have a feeling that he's trying to court her," Lady Aurora commented.
"I know, but I won't let him," he argued.
She laughed a little. "I have a feeling that the only person you'd let her be with is Riff, am I right Cain?" She asked.
"Yes," he answered as she hugged him.
She smiled.
I knew that the feelings that I had for her were the ones that I couldn't admit, yet Lord Cain was giving me a chance to do so.
Then I would do so.

Soon Lady Cassandra came home, happy, but I knew that she wouldn't let him just have his way. She's strong, I know that much, and she wouldn't let him win without a fight.
"How was the opera Lady Cassandra?" I wondered.
"It was fine, but a tad bit boring," she answered.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, he had to choose the one that we already saw a few weeks ago," she replied.
I knew which one she was talking about, it was Hamlet, and we all knew the lines by heart, I could hear Lord Cain reciting them right now, but Lady Aurora switched him to Romeo and Juliet…
"Is something on your mind Riff?" She questioned.
It was now or never…I had to say it.
"Yes, I guess so. The truth is I love you,"I confessed as she smiled.
"What took you so long Riff?" She wondered.
"I take it that you knew, but really, I have no idea," I answered.
Lord Cain and Lady Aurora heard everything from the sitting room. I sighed. Sometimes confessing is harder than dealing with the truth.

Cain: So what happens next?
Aurora: You'll find out soon.
Cassandra: That's right.
Cain: Fine.
Riff: So we'll see you all in the next chapter!
Aurora: don't forget to read and review.
Mary: Fun!
Cassandra: Yeah, we know Mary, we know.
