Your family was nothing special. The Queen didn't find your performance anything special. You weren't the most beautiful or the best at pianoforte or needlework. You were truly ordinary, and you loved it. You didn't need to simper and act all demure at every eligible bachelor that looked at you. No, you were destined to get married to an ordinary man and live an ordinary life. Well, that was until the most handsome gentleman asked you to dance. A royal, gentleman. Prince Friedrich was anything but ordinary, rich beyond what you could ever imagine. He probably had high standards for his future princess. So, why did he ask you? Either way, his soft, gentle smile and beautiful blue eyes were very persuading.

"L/n. I would be delighted."
