Matthew Wild is not the sole offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Canterbury. His sister, Katharina, affectionately known as Kathy among close circles, is a cherished member of the family, and Matthew holds a protective stance over her. However, when Kathy and their family receive invitations to a prestigious three-night ball, the occasion takes on a unique significance: it's an opportunity for the prince to select a new bride.
