Kitty cat fight (3)

I completely forgot the most important thing. How to reply on my origin! Its troublesome to get caught and judging by the Bergoth family smile, they are sure that I have no reply prepared at all. 

Cassie kept her business smile without showing a hint of being troubled, "I am merely an orphan with no high status". 

That was the best reply she could come up with and moreover her words were not a lie, she was indeed an orphan. Without her realizing the sadness lingered slightly on her face when she was reminded of her parents. 

It would've been good if I could've been able to protect them but… 

"Cassie, you must become cruel and strong enough to suppress those….". 

She heard some words not from outside but within her mind and the voice was familiar. Weird enough that voice was the same as the one she often heard when she had a headache but this time that voice sounded calm and tensed.
