Being the first born child of Arthur Lee Guinness, joint owner of Dublin's Guineas Brewery, one of the most successful Irish porters in history, had its perks.

Your father Arthur had all the money, all the recognition, and a beautiful wife, your mother, Lady Olivia. Both of them allowed all their children to have anything they wish for. No matter the cost. With two younger siblings, Benjamin Jr and Grace, you were swamped with the responsibility of taking over the brewery in due time.

Yet.... Arthur had a better plan. His brother Edward, always a businessman with a sharp mind, suggested his daughter only takes the Brewery if she marries a noble man of respectable nature, to which Arthur agreed.

And so, he called you, his shining girl, into his office mid election plans. The seat in Parliament could wait, the reaction to his plan, could not.

He beckoned you to sit down with a kind smile, as if he wasn't about to dictate your life in a matter of moments

"Sit down, my dear girl. We have something in need of discussion."
