Background
Comte Philippe Montclair III, a French nobleman, is married to Comtesse Catherine Montclair, the eldest daughter of Duke Ashbrook in England. The Montclair family, known for their extensive land holdings worldwide, arranged the union between Philippe III and Catherine to alleviate political tensions between England and France. This marriage allowed the Montclairs to reside in their English properties without political risk, while enabling the Ashbrook family to invest in land in France.
Philippe Montclair III's vast land ownership required frequent relocations while raising his children. Although the Montclair children considered France their true home, their upbringing involved moving every 2-3 years to places such as Tuscany, India, the Swiss Confederacy, and Spain.
Now, all but the youngest two Montclair siblings are married. Despite most of your siblings finding matches abroad, your parents wanted you to make your entrance into society in England. Thus, they postponed your debut by two years because you were residing in Florence at the customary time. This decision was influenced by your older sister Charlotte's advantageous marriage to an English Duke. Your parents sought a match of high station for you, prioritizing the economic aspects of marriage over matters of the heart, as they themselves did not marry for love. While love could develop in a marriage, the primary consideration was the union's financial advantages, particularly for their daughters.
