    Summary

    She's currently busy focusing on drawing little shapes that connect his scars when he speaks for the first time in a while, surprising her. "Jude?" he asks her, his tone a little more serious than it normally is but still soft-spoken. "Hmm?" She asks, going back to her task at hand. "Why haven't you ever asked about them?" There is no accusation in his voice, only pure curiosity. Nonetheless, she stops her movements promptly. Apparently, her lack of an answer pushes him to further explain. "The scars," He starts "Surely you're curious, I'm not a fighter, less often do I ever pick up a blade, are you not the least bit curious to how I got them?" He turns to look at her now, but her mind is far away.

    -or-

    Cardan learns why Jude has never asked about his scars, and Jude learns the full story as to how he got them.

    Summary

    Inspired by Bridgerton and Pride and Prejudice, Jude Duarte is the ward of Madoc, and the least likely to get married of his daughters. The conspiring to her bullies causes scandal after scandal, forcing her to befriend who was once her greatest foe: Prince Cardan Greenbriar.

    This has all the regency-era goodness i.e. scandal, chaperone-less shenanigans, and tearful confessions.
