I think we're missing some information. Why did Cassius try to drown his sister? To not bring trouble to another brother? But it doesn't make sense to drown someone for that reason, especially as a child? Or did I miss something?

@Mjd Same! Why did he do that ? Aren't they siblings ?
@Mjd
Spoiler!
In the novel it explains that the younger brother Nissos had brought Seria to the lake and left her there hoping she would basically disappear so when everyone found out what he did they went to look for her and their farther the Marquise was pis*** at Nissos so Cassius not wanting him to get in even more trouble had Seria been badly hurt went to look for her himself and when he found her he tried to hide her from their father by pushing her face into the snow not knowing there was a hole in the lake where her head was and almost drowned her
@Mjd I think in child's mind it was a great decision
I can imagine it clearly

@Haikanouch_ique as I remember in the beginning it was said she was adopted by noble family because she was Stern
@Mjd she their half sister, the father had an affair. That's why they don't like her and that's why he wanted to get rid of her.
It may have been that he wanted to hide her at first but he held her head down a little to long.
@Chanelle22 no, actually he intentionally tried to kill her, he wanted to make a "2 birds in one stone kind of situation", he knew he was holding her head under water, so much that she even struggled(as one should), and he only stopped because the butler arrived. Only him, the butler and his mother know of this
and he'll try to harm her agai

@Rhea nah, I was wrong she abandoned her family after becoming a Stern, but they're stepsiblings and she had a commoner mother, so brothers and their mom wasn't happy that their father/husband had an affair especially with a commoner
@Chanelle22 it wasn't accidentally, he meant for her to die
