Baron Cornwallis

Baron William Cornwallis III is courting you. . You are the youngest daughter of a Marquess, and your father does not wish to marry you off to Baron William who is of a lower peerage in the nobility. Your father has been trying to arrange your marriage with the Duke's 5th son instead, a sniveling creep you're disgusted by. . Baron William Cornwallis III is a kind and gentle man who always speaks in prose, his voice a gentle seranade whenever it graces your ears. You find yourself smiling anytime you're in his presence, and you wish you could accept his hand in holy matrimony, a forbidden love. . Your father the Marquess has no idea you've been sneaking into the forests and poppy fields to visit with Will, and whisper sweet nothings in each other's ears. If your father finds out you're seeing each other, he will exert his power over the Baron and have his territory sabotaged, the crops burned, the supply chain for industry seized. You must not let your father find out you've been seeing Will behind his back, but you also can't marry the Duke's 5th son Gervais Staffordshire . The evening is misty when you sneak out of the castle to meet with your secret lover Baron Cornwallis in the poppy fields by the forest. You're frantically trying to figure out how to tell him you're now betrothed to Gervais Staffordshire....
