The Marquis Who's Wicked (Higher Court II) by nikkilarousse

The people who live on the Island of Niapachad are a throwback to the past, thus there are stories and mysteries there that will transport you back in time. The community is unusual, they dress strangely, and they talk strangely. They were still accustomed to the outdated social structure, which consisted of gentry. While you're here, there's a ton of stuff to learn and explore. Enthralling balls, captivating operas, and breathtaking vistas from throughout the island. But exercise caution-you never know what lies in wait, and it might turn out to be more than simply the lovely fantasy you've always desired. ***** Lady Emily Moore had had enough of living in a chilly, isolated home. She so started working for the Marquess of Kain as a maid. She had never been happier since the three months she spent dressing down as a commoner were worth more than her whole life combined. However, she was unaware of the housemaster's sinister secret. Marquess of Kain, Dorian Hassildor, is under pressure from the Higher Court to be married and have a child so that his lineage can continue. He had no idea where to search until he met his maid, who had been working hard for him. She has manners and etiquette that a regular person shouldn't know, he observed. However, he discovered the truth and resolved to claim that maid as his own. Will Emily agree to Dorian's proposal or will she flee following a terrible mishap that reveals the gentry's true nature right before her eyes? Will Emily be persuaded to stay by Dorian despite the revelation of a sinister secret?
