I stood calmlyin the garden hidden behind the massive house behind me I called home.
I watched as the flowers and leaves moved in the wind, my [h/c] hair swaying as well. I closed my eyes and relaxed feeling peace soar through my veins.
"[Y/N!]"
I heard my name and turned around, startled. I turned to see my older brother, Oliver running towards me a big smile on his face.
I rose an eyebrow in confusion, my older brother has never cared much for me. Usually spending his time with woman and wasting our money on valuable things such as clothing and jewelry. Any fine thing that money can buy.
"What is it?" I asked crossing my arms, the dress I was wearing swayed in the sudden wind that blew in the garden.
"Mother would like to speak to you. Something important." He said, he looked like he was bouncing with excitement and I felt my stomach fill with unease.
I never carried a good relationship with my mother as well, she was just like my brother. She soaked up the wealthy lifestyle we lived in, spending our money on clothing and jewelry as well.
She also always like to say her opinion on any relationship I had. She's even had the audacity to try to set me up with numerous boys. Almost always because there is money involved.
Unlike her, my father, Lord Bradbury, has always been on my side and has always wanted the best for me. So, every time she tries to get an arranged marriage for me im grateful for my father who always immediately shuts any idea down. He thinks I'm young and wants me to travel and get to know the world before marrying and producing heirs.
Living with as well was my aunt, my fathers sister, Josephine. She's like my father, wanting the best for both me and my brother. She also quite the gossiper and knows everything about everyone.
I'm also lucky to have two friends, one is Enola Holmes, sister of the famous Sherlock Holmes. Our mothers were friends growing up and they had the two of us at the same time, making me and her the same age. Her older brother Sherlock also happens to be around the same age as my older brother.
I'm quite fond of her family, having spent many summers with Enola and her mother, and Enola spending summers with us as well.
My second friend is Daisy, she is my age as well and is a noble as well. She's a bit shorter than me and has long brown hair and fair skin. Her bangs compliment her skin tone along with her blue eyes. She's caring and very sweet.
"Do you know what of?" I asked my older brother and he shrugged, a smug smile on his face.
"You'll have to ask her." Oliver's eyes twinkled under the outside sun— a gleam of mischief.
