I made my way to Eloise's room to...ask for a favor, (Knock, Knock) "Eloise.."

She opened the door with a sulky face plastered on, "Hello dear sister."

"What wrong el," as I let myself into her room closing the door behind me, "are you unwell?"

"No...I am fine, Just thinking about if I was man," she tilted her head now towards her feet

I reached out for her hand and put it In my lap, "You know dear sister, If I were a man I could make my own money without it belonging to our husbands..." I slouched in the chair a bit, "But as lady's there are things that we shall...never know, but if I were a man I'd do what I cannot."

Eloise jumped up from her seat, "Exactly what I was thinking...If I were a man I would not have to wait for my 'Prince Charming' to come and save me...I can be my own," Eloise exclaimed

I got up from my chair, "Be your own Prince Charming," I smiled at her words, "well I must be off I have a...previous engagement," as I headed out the door.

What was the favor I needed to ask again...eh oh well

I started walking towards the park with my art supplies in hand so my mother would not question me.

I arrived at the park's garden which was less crowed so no one could over hear us. As I was setting up my easel I heard someone clearing their throat, I turned around and it was him.

"Friedrich," I exclaimed giving him a small curtsy

"Miss Bridgerton," he gently grabbed my hand placing a small kiss on it

"Ahem, Well Friedrich please sit," I motioned towards the small chair next to my easel, as he sat down, "Just give me a quick second," as I struggled taking out my paints and brushes.

"Ah, alright I believe today I shall paint...You," I said giving him a toothy smile

"M-Me," he stammered

"Yes you Fred now stay still please and let me paint and explain my plan..."

"Fred?"

Oh no...I just realized my mistake, "U-Uh yes Fred...I am sorry it is just that you name is a bit long so I shortened it a bit I hope you don't mind," I rambled

"N-No it is quite alright...but only you may call me Fred," he replied with a small smile

"I promise," I exclaimed with a huge smile plastered on my face

I started sketching Fred whilst I told him my plan

"Daphne loves flowers...so get her expensive one's... more expensive than what a...Duke can buy," I snickered

He looked at me questionably, "A Duke?"

"Yes indeed a Duke," I said as I finished the sketch of him.

"I can manage that."

"Of course you can Fred, now stay extra still," I warned as I began to paint

"And Fred...When you speak to Daphne, speak to her with respect," I advised

"Of course I will speak to her as my equal like I do with you, No need to worry Daisy," he said with a soft look in his eyes.

"Thank you...and as well gift her a necklace, that would give mama an exceptional impression of you."

"Alright I shall," as he chuckled a bit

Hours has passed with me and Fred engaging in conversation with each other as I also gave him a few Ideas to help enchant my sister.

"Oh dear," I looked at the sky as the sun began to set, "I believe it is time for me to retire home or Anthony might scold me," as I started packing up my paints

"Ah yes Indeed, I believe I must go as well," he got up dusting himself off as he helped me put away my supplies.

"Thank you Fred," as I finished packing the last of it, "I must go now goodbye Fred."

"goodbye Daisy and Thank you for such a lovely afternoon."

I entered my household to a furious Anthony

"Where have you been Daisy!!!" he exclaimed

"I uh went to the park garden to paint with a...Lord Friedrich," as I scratched the back of my neck

"A lord Friedrich?" He questioned, "Never heard of him."

"Well that is his name indeed...Good night brother," I gave him a peck on the cheek and headed towards my room.

"Phew that was close," I thought to myself, "Even though that was the worst excuse to ever been made."
