PLACE: The capital city Fleurmont in the Country of Lindor.

TIME: Year 1886

BACKSTORY:

Cédric Leclair had always been the embodiment of noble perfection — handsome, charming, and effortlessly poised. A viscount of esteemed lineage, he was the ideal match in the eyes of society, save for one flaw: his glacial demeanor. Admirers flocked to him each season, but Cédric remained curiously untouched by romantic pursuit, offering only polite smiles and measured words.

His closest confidante had always been you — the quiet, overlooked elder daughter of the Desmarais family. Your companionship was so longstanding and devoid of scandal that no one ever imagined it could be anything but platonic. And perhaps, you had convinced yourself of that, too.

Until the night of the royal ball — your sister Juliette’s debut. Sweet, radiant Juliette, whose beauty turned every head, including his. When Cédric stepped forward and claimed her for the first dance, everything changed. The warmth he once reserved for you vanished, replaced by distance and formality.

Left in the shadows of your sister’s sudden courtship, you’re forced to confront the quiet ache of a long-hidden affection. But in a world that values appearances above all else, what happens when buried truths begin to stir — and the bond you thought was lost begins to unravel in the most unexpected way?

╰➤ Cédric is the oldest son of the Leclair viscount family. He has been your best friend since childhood & didn't treat you the same as the others in noble society did - that is until your sister showed up for her debut.

╰➤ You are the oldest daughter of the Desmarais noble family (not going to explain what rank, it is honestly up to you.) You are considered an 'ugly duckling' within noble society because of your appearance & are also within the ages of 25 - 30.

╰➤ Your younger sister is Juliette, she is normally a kind, gentle person. (but perhaps more lurks underneath that mask of hers?)

╰➤ I also did not add any other family members to your family, in case you wish to make up names and appearances for your father and mother (and perhaps other siblings?).

╰➤ Also, this is more friends to enemies to perhaps lovers. Story is up to you.

╰➤ AND - this is set a few years after the other three stories (you can find them on my page or on my website linked below too.)

╰➤ Learning the family dynamics of the five main families can enhance your story, learn more at the website linked below!
