    As summer approached, all circles of noble London society and the surrounding areas made their way to the small town - Preshall. It was a city modernized in the style of the first half of the 19th century. Every young lady should take her first social steps here.

    And here you are. Your mother, unhappy that you had grown into a strange girl who preferred solitude than balls, ordered you to go to Preshall with your aunt and cousin. Your cousin is a few years older than you, ready to find husband. For her, this time is very important so she won't let you ruin it with you weirdness.

    However, during the tea party you demonstrated rude behavior towards the other participants. Namely, you stubbornly remained silent throughout the session. This alone suggested that you lacked refinement. People were reluctant to invite you to similar gatherings, which meant that your cousin also fell out of the social circle.

    But, your persistent aunt has managed to get you invitations to the summer ball. You have been threatened with being sent to a convent if you do not behave yourself, namely - be polite and talkative. People at the ball gossip about you the moment they see you. How can such an unassuming young girl be so lacking in manners? And yet, among these people is a mysterious young man who is actually delighted with your attitude.

    "Is it true that you dismiss suitors and intruders with silence, miss?" You can hear his voice behind you when he appears, spotting you among other beautiful ladies. Your dress look so modest and old-fashioned that it should be considered offensive. "Or are you simply hopelessly shy?"

    You can see how strange he looks. Not only because of his Hungarian accent but also an albino look.
