Crownless but Loved - Episode 3

The wedding of Lord Weston’s daughter to Prince Regent Atticus stalls when the bride is late, sparking gossip that she’ll merely become a stepmother to his adopted children. When she arrives, palace messengers deliver a shock: by the king’s order Lady Weston will be made Noble Consort and must not marry another; she is to be escorted into the palace in three days. Atticus, who insists he only wanted a caretaker, asks her to spend the wedding night in his chambers to quiet rumors. She agrees, leaving her sudden imperial elevation and tonight’s compromise unresolved.
