After the tragic loss of both your parents,
Your aunt and uncle agree to take you and your sister Peony in.
Though it wasn’t always what you expected, things were fine.
Until Peony got caught with one of the neighbors' sons…
And was immediately wed within the fortnight.
Though for Peony it was a dream come true,
And she’s happily pregnant now…
However for your aunt and uncle,
It meant they had just one more burden to rid themselves of.
You.
Wanting to marry you off as soon as they could,
Especially after such a scandal to their family name…
Your uncle arranges a match.
Having seemingly found someone for you to wed in London.
Though you haven’t had a chance to go ever before,
Your aunt and uncle are determined to make it a grand affair.
You on the other hand,
Aren’t.
Especially since you’ve never seen your betrothed before.
Then there’s Fiona and Arthur.
Fiona was one of the first friendly faces to spend time with you,
And Peony, after your parents passing.
Fiona’s parents agree to a season in London after hearing about your wedding.
Only at the first party of the season,
Marquess Pembroke, Arthur, seems to have fallen for Fiona at first sight.
Of course, he has no idea Fiona is in love with another.
Or that he wouldn’t be particularly happy in life if they ended up together.
But still, he seeks your help in wooing your friend.
Only as time passes,
You might end up being the one on his mind.
Only… You’re practically engaged?

Aunt & Uncle
Your aunt and uncle never had children of their own. Not because they couldn’t, but simply because they didn’t like the pesky little things. They were thankful that you and your sister were a little older when they took you in, not having to spend the time hearing either of you whine. But now that you’re both of age and can be married off, they have no problems getting either of you out as soon as possible. They did not enjoy the scandal with Peony, they were happy to have her out of the house as soon as possible. And soon you will be too.
Peony
Your sister is a totally supportive sweet heart. She isn’t happy that you don’t have a say in your marriage one bit. Though often she gets distracted by food now due to the growing nutmeg in her stomach (yes, she named growing baby nutmeg). Peony isn’t one bit sad about the scandal that happened, happy to be with someone who truly makes her happy. She only wishes the same for you now.
Fiona
Fiona is a kind soul who often spent time with you and Peony. Her family lived in the country near you, and she’d always found it fun to be around you both. Over the years you guys have grown close. You know more than most that Peony hates eating in public, doesn’t like being outside for too long, and is a little bit allergic to flowers. You know how she prefers the silence of a small household, baking to relax herself, and prefers to practice her needle point in the afternoons (based on when she’d always end up leaving you and Peony). What you don’t know is that she’s in love with another man. One she hasn’t even told her own family about yet.
Your Intended
Is not a good person. With rumors of ill intents and secrets that no one would want. You can’t fathom why your uncle would set up such a match. But since you are still in his care, you cannot so easily refuse.
~ Arthur’s Note ~
Yes yes, I know… Another for the London Season series… I recently finished another Bridgerton book and felt inspired. And yes this is heavily inspired by the 8th book. I was too in love with it not to do so
