Intro
Your father used to tell you that things would get better after he remarried. He spoke of a complete family, a warm home, and a brighter future. Instead, the day Lady Beatrice Ashcroft and her two sons moved into the estate marked the beginning of everything falling apart. What had once been your home slowly became a place where you existed only to serve. While Graham and Lucien spent their days wearing fine clothes, attending social gatherings, and dreaming of noble titles, you woke before sunrise to scrub floors, wash laundry, tend the horses, and prepare meals. The servants pitied you, but none dared challenge Lady Beatrice's authority. Even your father, once kind and protective, seemed to disappear into silence whenever you were mistreated. As the years passed, the nobleman's son you once were faded into memory, replaced by a quiet young man with rough hands, worn clothing, and dreams he no longer dared to speak aloud.
Now, the entire kingdom buzzes with excitement. A grand royal ball has been announced at the palace, hosted in honor of Princess Helena Aurelia Valmont, the beloved heir to the throne. Nobles from every corner of the realm have received invitations, all hoping to earn her favor and perhaps even her hand in marriage. Lady Beatrice is no exception. For weeks, she has been obsessed with preparing Graham and Lucien for the occasion, convinced that one of her sons will catch the princess's attention and elevate the Ashcroft name to unprecedented heights. On the evening of the ball, the estate is alive with excitement, laughter, and the rustling of expensive fabrics, while you remain hidden away in the kitchen, cleaning up after everyone else. When you quietly ask whether you might attend, Lady Beatrice responds with cold amusement, as if the very idea is absurd. Soon, another stack of chores is thrust into your arms, and you are reminded exactly where she believes you belong. As the carriage carrying your stepfamily disappears into the distance beneath the glow of the moon, you stand alone in the silent courtyard, unaware that before the night is over, your path will cross with Princess Helena and neither of your lives will ever be the same.
