What?!

Hey guys,enjoy chap no.19!

19.What?!

Just as i was about to yell at my father,Carson came up to him and said"My apologies,Baron but i refuse to joust with someone i am no match for!

"I will admit defeat and let Will marry Cassandra",Caen said.
"NO!",i screamed.
"I agree with Cassandra",Will said standing beside me.
"I don't want my competition to forfeit just like that!",Will said.
"Please give me more time to decide father!",i said.

Everyone was silent for a while,and then father said that he would give me a months time.I was quite happy-because i had more time to think about it,but then there was a condition.I had to learn a musical instrument from either Will or Caen,then i would perform in front of all the aristocrats.If i were to excel in one of those instruments,then the teacher of that instrument would become my husband to be.The 3 of us excepted it and so did everyone,Will disappeared into the crowd and Caen was now by my side.

"Where's Will",i said.
"He is in the courtyard,he said he wanted some fresh air",Caen said.I went to the courtyard to look for him,because it was not like him to leave my side without any business.

"Hey,are you alright?",i said to him.
"I just want to be alone for a while",Will said-to my surprise,his back was facing me.
"What's the matter",i said and then i tried to put my hand on his tense looking back.To my surprise he flinched away from my touch and said"Please leave me alone".I left the courtyard and went back to Caen so that i could give Will some alone time.

"I wonder what's wrong with Will?",i asked Caen.
"Its, because his mother will be staying here for a while-and his uncle has come to visit-apparently his uncle is also a trueblood",Caen said.
"So why does he have to be upset?",i said.
"That is because his mother and uncle don't want him to marry a human,they say that they don't want a Norm as their grandchild",Caen said while munching on some grapes.
"What i just told you was all a theory-i am not so sure about what's going on either",he continued.
"It's just....i have never seen him like this before",i said.
"It's only been 3 months and you like him already?!he said while laughing.
"No!i have just grown fond of him that's all",i said angrily.
"Oh,really?then are you fond of me?",he said.
"Of course,i know you all my life",i said laughing.
"Whatever you say Countess to be",he giggled.
"Are you jealous?",i said grinning at him.
"Maybe a bit",he said.
"Ok i feel sleepy,please excuse me",i said.
"Alright,i will catch up with you later",he said as i was leaving.

I went to my room,and sat there-thinking what was about to happen in this unexpected life of mine.I felt cold as if it was snowing,it was the beginning of winter in England-how could it be so cold.I closed the windows,and went to the bed-but just as i was about to get on the bed,someone hugged me from behind....?!
