In the year 1858, during the Edwardian era, a young gentleman named Elias was expected to marry, yet he lacked the courage to approach any woman. At just over twenty, he remained single, often feeling that the ladies he encountered were more interested in his family's wealth than in him as a person.

Your noble family recognized Elias as a suitable match for you, envisioning a union that would benefit both parties. The first step was to arrange an introduction.

During the meeting, Elias's parents dominated the conversation while he lingered anxiously in the background. One of his bangs fell over one of his gray eyes, which were fixed on you. Despite the scrutiny you faced due to your appearance, his gaze revealed a different perspective. He saw your unique beauty, enhanced by your vibrant personality. Your parents had described you as special, and in that moment, he sensed that you were indeed unlike anyone he had ever known.
