" Lack of any real gossip when we returned from the Country." The Queen says as she placed the Sheet onto her lap "The only Scandal back at the Country was Miss Nolan and Lord Bridgerton." The Queen's Lady-in-Waiting adds

" I do hope My Diamond gets Wed by the end of the Season." The Queen says before Brmisley comes in "Your Majesty." Brimsley says 

" What is it now Brimsley?" The Queen says Irritated "An.... Invitation." Brimsley says as he hands the Letter to the Queen

Her Majesty did not Hesitate to snatch the letter from Brimsley's  hands and reads. After a few seconds she was confused "Who is getting married?" 

" Your Diamond and Sir Philip Crane." 

Those words shook the Queen "I must arrange an meeting with My Diamond. Pronto," The Queen commands and Brimsley nods before walking away to prepare

" Your getting Married?" Cassandra asks Eloise "It seems fair for me..." Eloise says and Cassandra left her Jaw agape. It had only been a month since they returned and she's Engaged! "Has he been Courting you?" Cassandra asks again

" From the Moment he stepped into the Country, Did you not see him?" Eloise asks  and Cassandra shakes her head side to side 

" Your so different... Shotgun Marriage?" Cassandra says and Eloise nods "Something happened..?" Cassandra asks

" No! It's just..." Eloise says standing up from the Sofa nd pacing around the Bridgerton Drawing room 

"Juuust?" Cassandra asks "I shall tell you some other time. Right now We have to prepare for the Wedding." Eloise says

" Fine..." Cassandra Mumbles as Eloise skipped off the Drawing room... Something happened, Cassandra was Determined to find out.

The Queen Made her way to Crane Manor for the Ball... Engagement Ball to be Precise. The Queen entered the Manor and all of the Attendees bowed down before her as she walked towards Eloise and Philip as they were the ones hosting the ball

" Sir Crane, My Diamond." The Queen greets the Two Hosts "I am more than glad to see you crack out of Your shell Miss Bridgerton, You were always against Marriages from the start. I do hope you the best." The Queen says before walking off

Cassandra just observed this Interaction from the Second floor, Hands on Railing, Questioning why Eloise wanted that Marriage that quickly.

" Your Highness, Why are you Not Joining the Attendees?" A man asks, Cassandra looked over her Shoulder "Lord Bridgerton." Cassandra greets Anthony as he hands her a glass of Punch

" I noticed you were parched." He announces taking a sip from his glass "How Thoughtful of you to know that Your Lordship." Cassandra says

There was a Pause of Silence for a moment "Have you asked Eloise why she wanted this Marriage this quickly." Anthony asks and Cassandra chuckles "I'd be in wonderland if she told me." Cassandra Jokes and the Viscount Laughs Lightly

" Do you ever wish to find out?" The Viscount asks the Princess, Cassandra eyed him "Do you also?" She asks. Anthony pressed his lips and nods " I did not know the reason." 

Cassandra smirks and takes a sip from her punch "Then I accept your Supposed deal with me." 

" What ever could you mean?" 

" You know what I mean."

" No."

" You do."

" Ok, I do." Anthony Confesses thinning his lips "So this is a Ruse I presume?"

" Yes.." He whispers. "Then I also Accept." Cassandra says reaching her hand out, Anthony eyed her for a moment before taking her hand

But On the Other hand, This Author is also Wondering why is the Wedding On event to quickly? Is this Oh-So called True love cannot wait?

Or Has something happened between these Two that Could ruin. or Tarnish their Reputations?

But we must wait for 2 more months as The Chapel is filled with reservations for the Marriage Minded Misses getting wed To their (Hopefully) Forever Romeos 


Anthony and Cassandra looked at the Paper for a moment and looked at Eachother "If they want this wedding so Quickly... Whistledown, Though I hate to Admit—is right. Something might have happened with out your nor your Other Siblings Knowledge.

" If something did Happen, It is Customary For us to Investigate." Anthony adds and Cassandra Nods as she places the Sheet back to the Coffee table

" I suggest we Get attached like a leech to the To-Be-Wed Lovebirds—I with Philip you With Eloise."  Cassandra says and Anthony nods "There will be an Ball in Lady Cowper's residence—That is the good Chance to know what happened." 

Cassandra took a sip from her tea "Plan In pieces"
