"I'm just so happy about us, and I was also thinking about things to come ahead of us," Cassandra said with a soft smile spreading across her face.
Bernard glanced at her, intrigued by her words. "Hmm... What exactly do you think lies ahead of us?" he asked with a curious look.
Cassandra took a deep breath. "As much as I want the good times, I know that being with you will bring chaos. It'll create a rift between Maria and me... but I'm ready to make that sacrifice for the sake of our love. Just promise me, Bernard—don't make me regret loving you."
Bernard nodded slowly, his expression suddenly intense. "I'll make sure you stay the happiest person alive for choosing me. That's why I want all the power—so I can protect you, always."
They exchanged a soft, meaningful smile.
