Chapter 175: Some secrets can’t stay secrets forever
Cass didn’t know for how long he had cried, and he didn’t actually care, either. He just let the others take care of everything. The clean up, the planning, everything. Lucian was left to manage him, holding him and murmuring softly to him. Cass could barely understand what he was saying, and he honestly didn’t want to.
He just liked the rumbling feeling of another speaking to him. He didn’t really care what they were saying to him unless they were yelling at him. Then he was likely to cry more.
Cass still trembled every once in a while, his body still in shock. He wondered if the others had reacted this way, and he wasn’t exactly sure if he could remember if they had. He didn’t care what Lord Blackburn had to say right now. He wasn’t angry at him, but he was kind of taking it out on him.
He was the reason why all of this was happening to him. HIs bad decision was why Cass was here. Even if this Lord Blackburn hadn’t done it, another version of him had. It was a cruel thing to do, but what else could Cass do? He just had to fucking kill himself. Him! Caspian!
"Cassian. You’re in so much pain. I’m sorry." Lucian’s murmur got through to him and Cass curled in further.
It was a few minutes later when he felt Lucian growl. Cass jerked, surprised as he realised that a few people were near him. It wasn’t just him and Lucian anymore.
When he turned his head to peek over his shoulder, he found a rather stern-faced Lord Ridgewood, a compassionate Lady Ava and Vespertine, and an unreadable Lady Fiona.
"Lucy, we need to talk to him. I need to talk to him. Everything else is dealt with." Cass felt his heart jerk and Lucian growled, his grip tightening on him.
"What the hell did he do wrong that you’re all looking at him? Clearly something awful has-" Lady Fiona cut Lucian’s angry words off.
