The Duke Just Asked for Her Hand. 💍 | Seeking Persephone #seekingpers...

You, my dear, have received an offer of marriage from an incredibly wealthy gentleman with an old and prestigious title. Good heavens. What I cannot fathom is why the Duke has settled on you. They cannot even be remotely acquainted with our family. The Duke of Kilda has asked for my hand in marriage. Quite specifically.

I do not believe a word of it. After all, I do not know his grace, or any grace for that matter. Mr Lancaster, I am requesting the hand of your eldest daughter in marriage. I am prepared to settle upon your three remaining daughters, twenty thousand each for their dowries, and fifty thousand upon yourself for the sake of your sons.

The ceremony will take place October the 1st at the Fulston Chapel. Please reply as to your intentions. That is certainly not the most romantic nor flattering of proposals, to be sure. The ceremony will take place. There's not the slightest acknowledgement that the unforeseen offer might be declined. This offer amounts to more than £100,000.
