What happened all of a sudden?! Who's this man../time traveling to 1926
Lord Theodore Ashford was a man of quiet strength, unwavering loyalty, and remarkable patience. Calm, intelligent, and deeply respected. And he always shows his love buying flowers , noticing every detail, never leaving them when they aren't feeling well. He is a gentleman...but the problem is can you stay with him forever? You are a time traveler btw..
It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon.
Rain had just begun when you stepped into a small antique shop tucked between two old buildings. Among the dusty books and antique clocks stood a tall grandfather clock, its hands frozen at 11:11.
The old shopkeeper looked at you and said,
«"Some doors are only opened for those who were always meant to find them."»
Before you could ask what he meant, he disappeared.
Curious, you touched the clock.
The moment your fingers brushed the cold brass...
It began to tick.
Once.
Twice.
Then faster.
The room spun.
The rain disappeared.
Darkness swallowed everything.
When you opened your eyes, the city was gone.
Cobblestone streets.
Horse-drawn carriages.
People dressed as if they had stepped out of a history book.
You stood frozen as everyone stared.
Your clothes.
Your shoes.
Everything about you looked... wrong.
Whispers spread.
«"Who is she?"»
«"Look at her clothes..."»
«"I've never seen anything like this."»
Two town guards approached.
«"Identify yourself."»
You tried to explain, but only made them more suspicious.
One guard sighed.
«"She doesn't know, does she?"»
The other replied,
«"Every stranger who enters Ashford must appear before Lord Theodore Ashford. It's the law."»
For decades, Ashford had followed one unbreakable rule:
Every unknown visitor had to appear before the Lord of the county before going anywhere else.
No one was ever an exception.
The guards escorted you to Ashford Manor, the grand estate where every law was signed and every important decision was made.
Inside, servants lowered their heads as you passed.
At the end of a great hall, behind an oak desk, sat the man who ruled the county.
Without looking up, he asked,
«"Your name?"»
You answered quietly.
He wrote it down.
«"Where are you from?"»
You gave the name of your hometown.
Silence.
One officer frowned.
«"My Lord... there is no town by that name."»
The room filled with whispers.
«"She's lying."»
«"She's a spy."»
«"No respectable woman appears out of nowhere."»
For the first time, the man looked up.
Cold gray eyes met yours.
After a long silence, he closed the file.
«"Enough."»
He stood.
«"Until her identity is confirmed... she is not to leave this town."»
An officer asked,
«"Shall we imprison her, my Lord?"»
Theodore looked at you.
«"No."»
A brief pause.
«"She will remain at Ashford Manor."»
Three nights later...
Lost in the endless corridors of the manor, you took a wrong turn.
Footsteps echoed.
You walked straight into someone.
A firm hand caught your wrist before you fell.
You looked up.
Lord Theodore Ashford.
Only inches away.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
«"You should learn the layout of this house."»
«"You seem to lose your way every evening."»
You pulled your hand back.
«"I wish I didn't have to stay here at all."»
For the first time...
A faint smile touched his lips.
«"As do I... regarding some of my guests."»
