Lette entered the Greengrass sitting parlor with a large sigh that was sure to get @DeIphine_HP attention.

“I have just heard from Charlotte that the Duke of Somerset has fallen very ill.” Her lips fell into a small pout at the thought. “Aurora cannot seem to find more a few-

Percy cannot stand just how ravishing @DeIphine_HP looks the entire evening. After a few round of drinks and failing in his attempts to look away from her, Percy approached Elle as she stands away from the crowd for some air.

“Come with me,” he says in a quick breath, taking-

@Charlotte__HP “Then for the first time since knowing you, I have to tell you that you are mistaken.” Percy held back a sigh that threatened to escape his lips.

“There is nothing but hatred between us now,” he confessed with a tight smile. “I expect even formalities will be too difficult.”

@ThomasC_HP No one will ever care for me the way you do

@ThomasC_HP As if I’m gonna stop THE bachelor Duke

I see a lot of talking but not a lot of drinking

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@Charlotte__HP see through Delphine’s ruse of nursing him. Or…did Charlotte find any sense of sincerity in her. He pushed away the thought. She had told him of her deception already.

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@Charlotte__HP “Hmph,” he agreed reluctantly. “If it’s right,” he echoed as he lead her on a small turn.

“Well better it ended when it did,” he said his voice trialing off as his mind played back her lullaby.

@Charlotte__HP was so tender because he knew that he would never recover. There would be no one after her.

“The marriage market is much corrupted,” he said with smack of his lips. He knew Charlotte was bright enough to weave together some truth from his words.

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@Charlotte__HP “Well if we are being truthful…” he said with a quiet sigh. “I fear I have been quite melancholy. In addition to a much too long recovery, I well, I discovered a truth I allowed myself to be blinded to.”

Even in his anger and her betrayal, Percy would never ruin her. The wound

@Charlotte__HP death and Delphine Greengrass.

@Charlotte__HP Duke of Bridgewater had pledge,” he turned back to give that prick a smile.

“On second thought… triple.” He said turning and offering his arm.

“Will you spare a lame man a few minutes of your time?” He said eager to catch up with her. So much had occurred since his row with-

@ThomasC_HP @Rawden_Crane_HP @GWentworth_HP “Are you feeling something yet, Georgie?”

@Rawden_Crane_HP @GWentworth_HP @ThomasC_HP ???

@Hargrove_HP Poor People, sure

What war am I right??

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@DeIphine_HP Percy’s voice caught in his throat before he continued.

“And in that clarity,” he added as the disgust built in his voice, “I cannot accept anymore of your…false…sentiment.”

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@DeIphine_HP Percy doubted himself for a moment as he watched confusion paint her face. Could he be wrong in his assertions?

Or was Delphine simply furious that she had gotten so close before ultimately failing?

“What changed?” He scoffed. “I have come to see how little /I/ meant to you.-

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@DeIphine_HP tragedy. Whether I had died in this room or not, it will die with me.”

[Percy Archibald @Percy_HP]

@DeIphine_HP hate her, even in her betrayal.

“I must commend you for your dedication,” he said with dark laugh that attempted to mask his hurting.

“You certainly had me convinced that there was a…sentiment between us. Now I must make it exceedingly clear that I inherited this title in a-
