I didn’t get to where I am in life by trusting very many people or rushing into things. The only thing that I ever rushed was taking Cassandra, that was it, and I had to do it. But these plans cannot be rushed, I need to take care of Black Adder first, it is the most important thing to me. Raven is the main reason that I was forced into this predicament in the first place. Her escaping, and being found out, was my downfall. I knew I should have ignored Cassandra and killed Raven when she was a baby. None of this would have happened to me if I had just done that. I knew I shouldn’t have listened to her begging me not to kill Raven. We both knew she belonged to Cole the minute she opened her eyes, but I knew it would have broken Cassandra’s heart. So I spared Raven, and what did that ingrate
