I am no Cinderella, I don't need a Prince

Cass was an idiot. He regretted agreeing to share a carriage with Lord Vespertine as soon as the carriage rolled around the corner. 

It was the most gaudy shit he'd ever seen. If Lord Blackburn was dark gothic, Lord Vespertine was white gothic. His carriage looked like it had rolled right out of Cinderella and she was going to climb off at any second. All he was missing was the damn mice, and he'd be there. 

Stealing a glance at Lord Vespertine, it made perfect sense. The man was the perfect Prince Charming. It made him disgusted as he happily chatted away to his aides. 

They had a damn second carriage for the aides, so Sam wasn't even going to be able to save him. Sir Forsythe was going to use his horse to trail behind them, and that had been the plan the whole time so Cass didn't want to ask him to get in the carriage with him. 

Fuck. 

Cass was fucked.
