This story is based off of Mary's journey through seasons 3 & 4 of Downton.

"14 years ago...I had an affair with Lord Grantham. You are not Lady Grantham's child." "We just want you to know that the whole of England will be yours someday." Lady Darrel Crawley is the youngest daughter of Lord and Lady Grantham...or so she's always thought. When it is revealed that the Prince of Wales will be unable to produce the next King or Queen of England, Darrel learns of her true parentage. She in fact not the youngest daughter of an Earl. She is: Her Royal Highness, Elizabeth Darrel Windsor, the Princess of Wales. With all the family drama, love triangles and the pressure of becoming the next Queen of England, how will Darrel and the rest of the Crawleys react? Will she carry out the role she was born to play? Or will she choose to run away from it all? One thing is for certain, everybody's lives are about to change.

Laurence Ellis Levinson, the son of Cora Crawleys younger brother Harry and his wife Marie, had a normal happy childhood with his parents in America, until the robbery that was. The spring of 1908 was a though time for the young boy, between losing his parents and his left eye and being sent to live with his Aunt and her family in England, life was bleak. But he smiled, he always smiled through it all no matter what. Even becoming friends with one of the servants, and maybe over the years they would become more than just friends, maybe.

Everyone in Downton Village knew the Grantham. Lord and Lady Grantham were a very noble couple with even finer children. Lord and Lady Grantham married a while back and many still wondered just how Lord Grantham convinced himself to marry Lady Grantham. Some wondered just when the beautiful young ladies would marry. For Lord and Lady Grantham had not one, not two, not three... but four girls! 4 of them. Oh yes, 4! Mary, Edith, Lydia and Sybil. All with their discerning quirks and personalities There was Mary the eldest who was snobbish and elegant then there was Edith the older of the twins who was second best to everything by Mary and Lydia the younger of the pair always clung to her older twin, and then the youngest one Sybil had causes, and she gets too invested in the idea than the reality on how it would work out. Was it a wonder why the Crawley family interested many as well as drew people to them??

World War One has now occured and Lady Emma Crawley must either sink or swim in this troubled, dark times. Since the Garden Party in 1914, Emma must face challenges that would either make her a strong woman or break her. I recommend reading the first book - Emma Crawley (Downton Abbey Season 1) before reading season Two of Emma Crawley.
