Well my way of thinking is even if he does have feelings for her he knows that she loves Edward and we also don't know what's been happening over the last 3 years that she has been gone a lot of things could have changed over that period of time including Cain and Edward's relationship these last few chapters have made it seem like the relationship is really not that good anymore I personally don't think that my sweet-hearted Cain would ever do such a thing but it would definitely hurt if he was the spy I don't want it to be some random person that we've never even seen before
omg what if,, cain was originally very sus about rino BECAUSE he was a spy (so he wondered where rino came from, what to report, etc) and then later on he got guilty about it cause he started liking her.
and when she left, he knew she wasnt a spy (cause it was him ) and felt MORE guilt but hoped that rino wouldn't come back, so she can be safe.
as for cain and edward, edward thought rino was a spy and had betrayed him, and helped the emperor to attack his people. and cain watched edward become more and more miserable and felt guilty, straining their relationship. ne ways this is just what i thought i really hope cain isn't a bad guy
OMGGGG stop iiiit I don't want to believe he's the bad guy but it would also explain why that one scene where he was fighting the princes guard or whatever felt so weird it was kind of like they knew each other omg no I refuse he can't be the bad guy but it would literally be perfect he's Edward's right hand man so he trusts him wholeheartedly, he's gotten to see the designs on paper and seen them in action directly, and the prince didn't kill him when he almost killed the guard which was hella weird like why would he do that? UNLESS Cain was useful to him? AHHHH and thinking about him having a guilty conscience over it this whole time breaks my heart nope nope NO I refuse to believe it until the story straight out says that he's the spy
But what if there isn't a spy? What if the prince sent in one of his own guys and they got the designs for the weapons? IDK!!! But I really don't want it to be Cain and I don't think it was impossible for them to be able to find those papers and designs after Rino left I feel like I'm just making up excuses but I refuse to believe that it's Cain until they straight up say it's Cain
I really don't like how Cain and Edward are breaking apart I love their friendship but it's getting more vividly clear that it is breaking apart into little bitty pieces and I will cry if he's the traitor if you think about it it makes the most sense since Cain has seen all of the drawings and designs for the weapons and was constantly around Rino and watching her make different things
