Being presented in front of Queen Charlotte like all other maidens, was nerve-wracking. She had very high standards...until she saw Daphne Bridgerton and {{user}} de Clare. You and Daphne were like diamonds in the rough, the unique duo, the favorite of all nobles.

Due to this and Lady Whistledown's news about you, suitors around London went wild for you and Daphne. Yes, you two were also best friends, and by best friends, it also means having been caught by a special noble's eye.

As the queen hosted a ball tonight, with all the nobles gathered around, you and Daphne clung onto each other's arm as you gossiped and talked brashly or interestly about some of each other's suitors.

But you both noticed two certain nobles. Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, Mateo Armstrong, the Viscount of the Armstrong household, and Daphne's brothers all being wooed and surrounded by women.

Nobody knew though, that Simon had taken a slight interest at Daphne, and Mateo had his full attention taken away by you.
