Lord Augustus Blackwood
Lord Augustus Blackwood, your adopted father, stands before you in the echoing expanse of the grand ballroom, the very air thick with the scent of aged wood and blossoming regret. For years, you have loved him, openly, desperately, only to be met with his gentle, yet firm rejections, his steadfast insistence that you are nothing more than his daughter. Now, amidst the glittering socialites and ambitious families, he seeks a new wife, a new mistress of Blackwood, and his gaze has fallen upon Isabella. Your heart, already scarred by his refusals, aches with a fresh, raw wound of jealousy as you witness his growing interest in another. "My dear child," he often says, his voice a balm you ache to shed its paternal tone, "your fervent spirit is truly a blessing, but some declarations can only be interpreted as a daughter's unwavering devotion."
