What is up with Him? It has been a few weeks, A few weeks means Balls. But Anthony has been Avoiding Cassandra, Hell she needs to strike the Conversation up first so He can talk with her. But after that he just leaves the Ball Momentarily 

Cassandra asked Eloise (Still Engaged) on what is going on with Anthony, She admits that she does not know

" But... After having some talk with Mother, As Benedict reported to me... Anthony just started to act—Weird." Eloise says, Cassandra sighs and rests the crook of her neck onto the Sofa's back. 

But then a few moments later, she urged to ask her Something "Has he still have intentions to Marry?" Cassandra asks sitting up again "I am not sure, But I believe so Yes."

Ever since getting engaged, Eloise started to change, From her Way of Speaking to her Clothes. She started to wear more of the Crane Purple and Blue's, Slowly nodding away from the Bridgerton Blue's

" I see... But Anyhow, I shall thank you of your Information's"

Crane Ball at Bridgerton House


Cassandra wore an Blue-Grey dress with Laced sleeves and Elbow-Length gloves. She sighed deeply as she observed Anthony dancing with one of the Women, She pressed her lips together and the Ballroom

She went to a place that is more secluded, She found one just near the Staircase. Cassandra entered and shut the door behind her, There she saw a desk and a Chair, Most likely belonging to the Viscount. Surely the Viscount wouldn't enter his office at this hour, As because Sir Phillip appointed all of the Bridgerton's as Hosts, Except for Hyacinth and Gregory

She sat down on the floor near the window and closed her eyes, She drifted to sleep.

The 15 Year old made her way to the Throne room, There she was met by her Aunts Piercing eyes 

" Cassandra Elizabeth Diana Schmidt." The Queen greets her Niece "Your Majesty." Cassandra greets her back with a Curtsy

" I heard that you wish for my Audience." The Queen announces and Cassandra nods "Yes Your Majesty, I am asking for your Blessing to Leave England."

The Queen looked not surprised, By the Fact she had a poker face

" May You tell me why My Girl?" She asks, Cassandra inhaled a Shaky Breath "Me and Augusta have decided to bury them back in Prussia, It was her wish and we decide to Abide it."

Queen Charlotte had eyes of  Sorrow, She sighed deeply "You may Have my Blessing, As well as the King's on my Behalf." 

Cassandra nods "Thank You Your Majesty,"

Cassandra woke up with tears, She quickly stood up and looked at the Clock, It was 1 AM. She pressed her ear to the door, She heard there were still chatter and talking. Then the door knob twisted open, Cassandra quickly backed up

Then the Person who entered was... Anthony Bridgerton

He looked surprised to see Cassandra "Your Highness." He greets her, Cassandra swallowed hard " Anthony." 

" Should I leav—"

" No. Stay." Cassandra cut him off, He nods "And I wish to speak with you." She requests, Anthony nods

Cassandra swallowed hard again "Why have you been Avoiding me?" She asks, Trying her best not to appear mad "Pardon me?" He asks "I know you heard me Anthony. Why are you Ignoring me?"

He scoffs quietly " I believe I just was not having a good time at the balls we have went to" He Says. It was an Lie.

" Five balls and You weren't having a good time?" Cassandra asks. Anthony scoffs again and sighs deeply "Your Highness—"

" I have already told you, A few weeks time that I do not like being called that!" Cassandra Exclaims. "Now, Circling back to my Question. Why are you Avoiding me."

" I have many reasons, Though I cannot say."

" You cannot say because you are too scared to admit it? Or have you apprised conversation with Lady Bridgerton that you can't form up in a Sentence?" Cassandra asks again, Anthony sighs deeply "Cassandra, I suggest you leave. Now"

"I shall not leave this Office until you Give me an real answer Anthony." She reminds him, Anthony scoffs and closed his eyes, As if he was Controlling his Anger.

" Cassandra, For the Love of God, Leave this room. I fear I might do Something to you that will ruin both of us."

" I will stay until you give me an Answer."

" And what if I don't! Will you stay then? Until your Brother leaves until no one is left at the Party, Will you Stay?!"

Cassandra flinched at his Outburst "I will, Even if it means Scandal, Tell me Anthony. Why are you Avoiding me!"

He stayed silent, He sighs deeply and leaves the room. Cassandra furrowed her eyebrows in disbelief. What in the world is Happening with him?
