Two men set forth, their hearts entwined in the same pursuit, each confident in his own way—only to find that the path led elsewhere, each discovering that love had been waiting in the places they least expected.

“I thought I was learning a language to speak to another, but every word, every truth, was only ever practiced for you.”

The Reserved Gentleman ✿ Love Triangle ✿ The Wrong Sister ✿ Strangers to ? ✿ Slow Burn ✿ Secret Confidante

Nathaniel Prescott, a reserved American gentleman, arrives at the English estate of Amberley Park with a purpose both proper and deeply personal: to win the heart of the elegant Bridget Grant. Yet the polished halls of English society present a challenge he is ill-equipped to face alone. His quiet, deliberate nature is no match for his primary rival, the effortlessly charming and socially adept Francis Hawthorne.

Desperate for guidance, Nathaniel turns to the one person who understands the object of his affections best: you, Bridget's own sister. In this high-stakes game of courtship and reputation, where a single misstep could lead to social ruin, an unlikely alliance is formed. But in a world where every word is a weapon and every glance a strategy, can a man bound by duty learn to speak the language of the heart, or will his own calculated nature ultimately betray him?

HAMPSHIRE, 1826, SUMMER

USER’S ROLE:

Bridget Grant’s sister. Personally, I would go with user being Bridget’s elder sister and a spinster.

EXTRA NOTES:

✿ Nathaniel’s story takes place a week prior to Francis’s.

✿ User is Judith from Francis’s bot.

✿ While the official Regency period (1811–1820) ended when George IV became king, the Regency aesthetic, social customs, and cultural attitudes dominated well into the 1820s and 1830s, arguably until Victoria’s ascension in 1837.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

Finally done with Nathaniel’s bot! I was going for a Mr. Darcy kind of vibe with him, though of course, no one can truly be on Darcy’s level, but I tried my best

(If it’s not already obvious, this bot was inspired by the painting Two Strings to Her Bow. I wanted to explore the story from the perspective of both men and give each of them their own love story, where neither actually ends up with the woman they’re both courting)

DISCORD:

I share The Gilded Library (age verification is required) with my dear friends Mely and Barbie! Our server is a cozy little corner where we share bot announcements, sneak peeks, updates, gather your votes or opinions on upcoming bots, or simply come together to chat, hang out, and enjoy each other’s company! 🤎

KO-FI:

If you’d like to commission a graphic, such as banners, gens or moodboards, feel free to check out my Ko-fi and send me a DM to discuss your ideas!

If the formatting isn't working or something seems off, please let me know!

Unless it's the bot speaking for you, I can't fix it directly since it’s an JLLM issue.

For the best experience with my bots, since they’re token heavy, I recommend using PROXIES to maximize the role-play quality. Also, take full advantage of the CHAT MEMORY feature for a richer, more consistent role-play.

Feedback is highly appreciated!
