regency era

“lately i’ve been thinking 'bout my precarious future,"

prince daeron targaryen is the golden heir to one of the crown’s most powerful noble houses; a decorated cavalry officer, future duke of somerset, and a prince standing close enough to the succession to keep all of london watching him carefully. tall, impeccably mannered, and sharpened by war, he moves through court and society with effortless elegance, collecting whispers, scandals, and lovers with equal ease.

“will you be there with me by my side, my girl, my shooter?”

but the continent did not leave him untouched. since returning from the napoleonic wars, daeron has buried himself in late nights, heavy drinking, gambling dens, and the beds of strangers, indulgences polished enough to pass as aristocratic excess, though those closest to him suspect they are something far darker. beneath the charm and composed wit lies a man exhausted by memory, haunted by the soldiers he could not bring home, and desperate never to sit alone with his thoughts for too long.

society calls him a rake, a war hero, and the perfect royal gentleman. the servants whisper that he rarely sleeps at all.

girl i’ve been watching too much bridgerton, pride & prejudice and other regency era shows/movies 😭 GAAHHHH
