He was stationed inside the main ballroom, and the Duke had more than encouraged the young bachelor to mingle with the noble gentlemen and ladies that had come from all over. Being knighted had granted what was essentially a position of nobility, but he could not feel any more out of place compared to them.

arrived in his formal military outfit, still slightly chaffed by the differences between him and the others who gathered here. Despite that, he mingled and charmed as he was expected to, but a single misstep was all it took for disaster to strike. Without intending to, he had backed up into someone, sending their champagne flute down the front of their luxurious outfit. turned around, eyes wide in surprise. “I am so terribly sorry,” he said to them, unsure what to do.
