❝MISS DELPHIA BRIDGERTON AND LORD BENDICT BRIDGERTON❞ Alexander's footman announced the arrival of the siblings. The Estate the Duke of Cambridge resided in was beautiful, small for such a man of his wealth but the beauty of the home was one to remember.
"I am delighted you decided to join me," Alex came almost rushing up to grab Delphia's hand, placing a small kiss on her knuckles before turning his attention to Benedict standing beside him. "It is great to meet you, I am Alexander Scott."
"Benedict, your grace."
"None of that, Alex will do fine."
"We're very appreciative of the invitation, Delphia was more than delighted to accept." Delphia nudged her brother carefully, trying not to be noticed but the Duke saw and laughed at the interaction.
Ever since their dance Alex couldn't help but think of the woman in front of him, she was the epitome of beauty in his eyes. She had this spirit about her that he'd never seen in anyone before and he was intrigued.
"I'm more than grateful to hear, please allow me to show you around my home." Alexander held his arm out for Delphia, she happily accepted and began walking with the duke. Benedict followed behind at a comfortable distance, enough that the two felt alone.
"Do you read Miss Bridgerton?"
"I do quite enjoy it, I'm quite fond of Dostoevsky at the moment."
"White Nights?"
"You know it?" Delphia explained excitedly, she'd yet to meet anyone that had read the same books she had. "But how could you live and have no story to tell?" Anyone could notice the girl light up at the words from the duke, he really had read the book, so much so that he knew exact details and quotes from the book.
"Would you perhaps like to walk through the gardens? It is quite a delightful evening."
"I would love to."

"Alex, your home is quite the sight. I hope you don't mind me asking but you have a home in the country don't you?" The three were sat for dinner after the tour of his house.
"I do Benedict, I quite prefer it to this one. It is the home I grew up in."
"We also grew up down the country, Aubrey Hall." Delphia mentioned as she was brought into thought of the home she had spent most of her life in. She too preferred the country to their townhouse, but both were equally beautiful.
"That is merely a short carriage ride from my own home, It would be nice to go back and visit one another don't you think?" Alexander was hoping from a yes from Delphia, he was never one to be so quick with asking to see a lady again especially not invite her to see his childhood home.
