The Story So Far…

While living with her Aunt Lyrian in the capital, Labant Harrietta had attended many aristocratic social gatherings. During one such gathering, she had seen Edwin, the next heir to the Redford Dukedom. As soon as she saw Edwin eye to eye, she was captivated; it was love at first sight for her. She became agitated, so much so that she collapsed.

Seeing Her fall, Edwin approached her and helped her up, asking if she was okay. Noticing her niece in a not-so-good condition Lyrian took her away, denying Harrietta any chance to have a decent conversation with Edwin. After listening to Harrietta being attracted to Edwin, Her aunt told her it was futile and that she shouldn’t ‘try and look for higher trees to climb’ (in other words, Edwin’s higher social status than her). And so, Harrieta told herself to forget her encounter with Edwin.

And now, years later, her father, Baodore, brought the same Edwin into their household as a slave numbered “11452.” Seeing this, Harrieta passed out and only woke up three days later. As soon as she woke up, the first thing Harrieta did was have a conversation with her father about number 11452, whom she believed to be “Edwin Redford.” She tried to make her father understand that 11452 wasn’t just some random enslaved person but the son and the next heir to the Redford Dutchy.

It was such a wild claim that Boadore laughed and asked his daughter if she was still dreaming. After all, he had received 11452 as a gift from an old acquaintance, Marquis McNaught, but this didn’t clear her suspicion, and she thought of the present as having some kind of hidden meaning behind it.

Just then, Harrieta came to recall some strange letters she had received from her Aunt Lyrian about some recent event in the capital. A while back, she had received a letter from Lyrian about some strange rumors of treason against the royal family. She mulled over the letter’s contents, further solidifying her belief that the slave her father brought was Edwin.

Edwin asked Harrietta if she knew him, and she lied that she didn’t. However, Harrietta asked him what he would do if she knew he was from the Redford family; hearing this, Edwin became a little angry and asked her how she knew. Believing her to be like others, he asked Harrietta if she wanted him to crawl like a dog and loiter, so she could laugh at him and humiliate him just to satisfy her desires. He added that she had to use a much higher amount of aphrodisiac cause she wasn’t his type.

However, Harrietta screamed at him and said that this wasn’t him, and tearfully asked what had happened to him. Seeing her reaction Edwin too, freezes and starts to break down crying.

After a series of interactions, The invisible wall between them broke down bit by bit, and his impression of her slowly started changing. Edwin felt Harrietta was different from the other noble girls; she had a different charm. At first, he thought it was just sympathy, but he slowly understood that Harrietta genuinely felt for him.

Days passed, and it was time for Harrietta to go back to the capital for her coming-of-age ceremony and find a suitable marriage prospect. Edwin knew he couldn’t leave Filioche as he was just a slave. Nevertheless, he sneaked into the carriage the day she left for the capital, disguising himself as a porter to follow her. Of course, Harrietta was pleased to know that Edwin was accompanying her.
