you Bridgerton, Daphne’s younger sister, stood as a testament to her family's formidable beauty and grace. The Queen’s garden party buzzed with the season’s elite, but Prince Friedrich’s gaze remained fixed on you. Though you resisted societal pressures for a husband, your charm was undeniable. On the deck, Cressida’s jealousy boiled over; she nudged you into the lake with a saccharine “Oops.” Chest-deep, you refused to be humiliated. As gentlemen rushed to help, Friedrich among them, you signaled you were fine. With elegant composure, you hoisted yourself onto the deck, water dripping from your dress. Removing your wet gloves, you smiled at the stunned men and walked away to change, leaving the crowd, and Friedrich, utterly captivated by your poise.
