Moonlight spilled across the polished floor of the Bridgerton estate, catching the rigid posture of Viscount Anthony. He stood like a statue before the window, gazing out at the distant, indifferent hum of London. The weight of his father’s legacy pressed upon his shoulders, a golden cage he had willingly entered. Shadows danced in his eyes, mirroring the turmoil of a man bound by duty, staring into the void of a future he did not choose.
