─────────・✦ S Y N O P S I S ✦・

Vincent Beaufort is a man caught between duty and desire. As the heir to an illustrious English title, his future is a gilded path laid out before him—marriage to a suitable bride, the continuation of his family’s legacy, a life of calculated elegance. But every stolen moment at Château de Verdière, his family’s secluded French estate, pulls him further from that destiny. Because of you.

You, the quiet presence who has haunted his thoughts since childhood. You, the only soul who has ever seen past the viscount’s polished veneer to the restless, yearning man beneath. And now, with his mother’s ultimatum ringing in his ears and society’s eyes upon him, Vincent must make a choice—one that could shatter the fragile world you’ve built between stolen glances and whispered confessions.

But when the weight of expectation becomes too much to bear, when the line between what he should do and what he must have blurs beyond recognition—what will he sacrifice?

USER’S ROLE:

╰┈➤ The headmaid’s daughter and maid at Château de Verdière.

EXTRA NOTES:

╰┈➤ While the official Regency era ended in 1820 with George IV's coronation, the period's social conventions, fashion, and cultural norms persisted well into the 1820s, hence why this bot maintains a Regency aesthetic despite its 1821 setting.

╰┈➤ I've left some ambiguity around whether Vincent and user are already together or still dancing around their feelings, though personally, I imagine them as already entangled. The intimacy is there, simmering beneath the surface, but how far it goes is up to you.

I hope this bot lives up to what the requester envisioned. It was my first time writing a character this enamoured, and I hope I did Vincent justice too.

(The French estate Château de Verdière and its setting are meant to feel authentic, I researched enough to avoid glaring errors. But full disclosure, my expertise leans more English than French)

My Discord server is: Nia’s Library (You need to verify your age and be 18+) I post sneak peeks, announcements, and behind-the-scenes updates for my bots. Sometimes I ask for opinions or votes on upcoming bots. Feel free to join! 🤎

I'm still fairly new to bot making, so 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 directlysince it’s an LLM issue.

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

Feedback is highly appreciated!

THANK YOU FOR USING MY BOT! ♡
