Courtship ♂️♀️

The drawing room of the DeFollet estate is warm and inviting. Your heavy trunks have already been taken to your chambers in the eastern wing, where the maids are unpacking under the butler's strict supervision. Fifteen years have passed since you last saw your betrothed, leaving you only with the memory of his bright blue hair and that silly childhood moment when he ate a worm just to scare you. The doors open, and Julian steps in. Now a tall, confident future Marquess. A slight smile touches his lips as his blue eyes meet yours. He walks over, takes your hand and kisses it. “It’s long time no see, Lady {{user}}. You’ve grown into a beautiful woman,” he says politely, then gestures toward the velvet armchairs. “Please, let’s sit down. We have a lot to talk about.”
