Anthony slouched back in his seat and circling his finger onto the Mouth of the Glass, Good Heavens it was almost midnight and he hasn't return to Bridgerton house

" Bridgerton!" A man called, Anthony looked up to see Hastings "Ah, Back with Daff?" The Viscount asks as the Duke plopped down onto the seat beside Anthony "She wanted Auggie to... See his Grandmother... Clearly an Excuse to not be at present with our Duchess and Duke-ly duties"

" Life as a Duke and Duchess has many Demands." Anthony says with a tiny hint of Sarcasm "Ah, You are right wit—"

" Bridgerton, Hastings." A man greets, The Brother-in-laws eyed whoever was disturbing them to see Lord Lewis, Earl of Brookside "Brookside." The Duke greets as the Man Invited himself in Anthony's table

" You do not mind yes?" The Earl asks, Simon shakes his head side to side while Anthony glared at him o, Not all Lewis" Simon assures the Earl before Anthony scoffs and takes a sip from his Brandy. A few moments an waiter served them some Brandy also

" Bridgerton—I have seen you with The Princess, Tell me, Are you Courting the Miss?" The Earl asks and Anthony laughs forcefully "As if she'd marry a Viscount like me." 

" Well I do plan on bringing her flowers tomorrow, They say she's fond with Jasmines." Lewis says as Simon smiles "I wish you the best of luck." The Duke says and Lewis smiles 

" Ah Hastings, Bridgerton, Lewis." Lord Hardwick greets the three men, Anthony groans quietly as the man Also invited himself to the table. Anthony eyed Simon 

" I suppose You have already asked the Viscount if she is Courting Her Highness?" Hardwick asks Lewis in which he nods "He is not... Do you also plan on?" 

" If I haven't got married to Lady Hardwick then yes, I would have." 

Anthony just Grimaced at Lord Hardwick with his Suggestion, It would have been fine with Lewis yes, He was just in his late 20's. But dear Lord! Hardwick was in his late 50's.

"That is a weird... Nevermind" The Duke cut himself off as he Thinks it would be to Blunt and Humble

" But there is something about her... It's like, You know–" Lord Hardwick almost couldn't form the words

" Oh God man, just spit it out." Anthony said with a mad Bitter tone. Simon eyed the Viscount, Telling him to stop 

" Like You have a Virgin... And you know what to do." Lord Hardwick says and Lewis chuckles as the Lord laughs

Simon was quiet while Anthony looked Pissed "Do you Truly esteem her so Little? Or do you just wish spending her Dowry when you marry her. Might I remind you that her Majesty the Queen and Her Younger Brothers are to Provide for her when she marries?"

" We only wish for the dowry Bridgerton, We desire the love last." Lewis announces, Anthony opened his mouth to Protest but stopped instantly

Brookside was present when he announced that he desired love last, Only the Heir was important.

" I'm sure the Princess Wishes for love first, Afterall, That is what her Mother wishes for her Yes?" Anthony asks after sipping on his brandy, Lewis and Hardwick had poker faces "Good Day to both of you." The men Announce in Sync before they left

" You Insulted them." Simon says following an Gruff "The Princess desires a Love Match, Certainly not what they wish."

" Certainly not what you also wish, Her Marriage is none of your Business–Besides, I have met her Countless of times. She does not want People especially men Poking onto her Business and Duties." Simon reminded the Viscount, Anthony sighs "Perhaps you are right."

Next Day 


" Flowers, Flowers, Flowers... Chocolates, Flowers, Flowers." Cassandra's tone kept changing as she hands Anne the Gifts she had received, Most of them Were Jasmines. Which were not her Favorites

" Your Highness, The last Gift." The Maid announced, Cassandra raised a brow as the Maid handed her a Bouquet of Flowers. She put on a tiny smile as she sniffed it. Yellow roses

" Who was it from?" Cassandra asks "Viscount Bridgerton." The Maid said, Cassandra looked perplexed but nods. "If the Viscount is still here, Please extend my thanks, And if not... I shall tell him Personally."
