I love you with all my heart. And soul, if there’s such a thing.

A Glimpse Into Her Life

None of this would have happened if she had been a man. That’s what Kate Sheffiled, the oldest thought. The manor, the estate, all would have remained in the family. Her sisters would have wed and she would have kept on taking care of the household, like she did ever since her father died eight years ago. But she was “only” a woman and women could not take care of such important matters like accounts, bills etc. One had to be serious and educated to do so, which a woman was not. But her father had taught her like a man would teach his son, like a lord would teach his heir: like someone her father knew he could trust and rely on.

Therefore Anthony Bridgerton had no rights to come and take away their legacy just because he was a man and they were not, just because his birth gave him the right, just because he was told he could. She would show him how and both the viscount and his brother would go back from where they came from within a week or so.

The topic of rakes has, of course, been previously discussed in this column, and This Author has come to the conclusion that there are rakes, and there are Rakes. Anthony Bridgerton is a Rake. A rake (lower-case) is youthful and immature. He flaunts his exploits, behaves with utmost idiocy, and thinks himself dangerous to women. A Rake (upper-case) knows he is dangerous to women. He doesn’t flaunt his exploits because he doesn’t need to. He knows he will be whispered about by men and women alike, and in fact, he’d rather they didn’t whisper about him at all. He knows who he is and what he has done; further recountings are, to him, redundant. He doesn’t behave like an idiot for the simple reason that he isn’t an idiot (any moreso than must be expected among all members of the male gender). He has little patience for the foibles of society, and quite frankly, most of the time This Author cannot say she blames him. And if that doesn’t describe Viscount Bridgerton—surely this season’s most eligible bachelor—to perfection, This Author shall retire Her quill immediately. The only question is: Will 1814 be the season he finally succumbs to the exquisite bliss of matrimony? This Author Thinks… Not.

Anthony Bridgerton is of the opinion that Edwin Sharma should step up to his responsibilities, be a man and stop letting his elder sister control his estate and life. Kate Sharma is of the opinion that Viscount Anthony Bridgerton needs to mind his own bloody business.

chapter 2: anthony bridgerton

“Any prospects, brother?”

Anthony Bridgerton turned to glare at his younger brother, Colin, whose teasing tone irked Anthony more as blatant amusement danced across his face. “I hope you are enjoying yourself.”

Colin, for some unfathomable reason, found the prospect of Anthony marrying and settling down rather amusing.

Anthony certainly didn’t.

It was his duty.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It was time to marry. He needed a heir, so he needed a wife. A simple, platonic solution to his problem. He would choose a bride and explain the situation. Love was not on the cards. He was not capable of it and he would not lead anyone into a falsehood. He would marry an agreeable woman and sire multiple heirs. It would please his mother, hopefully please his bride and-

Well, what Anthony desired didn’t really matter.

Colin, however, hadn’t stopped laughing since Anthony had announced a few weeks ago his intentions of finding a wife this season.

“Oh, absolutely,” He said, smirking at his eldest brother. “How could I not be ecstatic at the thought of meeting my future sister in law?”

Anthony grunted, surveying the ballroom alive around him. It was the opening ball of the season, hosted by the infamous Lady Danbury. The room was filled with mirrors lit up by chandeliers dripping with glimmering jewels and covered with silk-lined walls of pink patterns.

In the corner of his eye, he swore he saw a flash of something almost blinding, in a dazzling blue.

“That makes one of us.”

“Oh, brother,” Colin teased, putting a hand on Anthony’s shoulder. Anthony knew painful dancing, awkward dancing and relentless teasing was what he was in store for tonight. “Are the nerves kicking in?”

Anthony leveled him with a hard, silent stare.

Colin took no notice of it. “I wouldn’t worry. You are a Viscount, the most eligible bachelor here since Daph swiped Simon away.”

“That’s not true,” Benedict said plainly, looking around the room. “There’s at least a Duke or an Earl around here somewhere.”

Pride and Prejudice (1995) Fitzwilliam Darcy + the infamous white shirt

silverhallow

For @13thparis who asked Could you write about Bridgertons members turning to Kate for anything/everything. When they used to go to Anthony, the latter feeling jealous (proud) that his wife is now the head of the family :)

So it’s just something short and Anthony’s feelings internally about it all… and the changes he went through with it

☺️ enjoy

At first it annoyed him, when Eloise burst into their London home looking for Kate. He had questioned why she didn’t want him but Eloise had just scoffed and didn’t respond.

He had questioned Kate afterwards and it had been nothing, just some help with a gentleman she wanted to scare off who was bothering her with unwanted attention.

It happened slowly, Francesca was the next one to ask Kate for help over him. It was advice on her upcoming season and asking for guidance on what to expect. He had expected her to go to Daphne or ask him what to expect but no, he had come home from Parliament and found Kate sat there with her leg propped up in the same spot he had left her with Francesca. Fran had left 20 minutes after he had come home.

Steadily over the next 10 months every member of his family was going to Kate for advice and help, he found his mother and Kate deep in conversation over suitable candidates for both Eloise and Francesca and their plans for Colin.

Jealous burned in him every time Until one afternoon shortly after the birth of his son when Benedict had come to call to complain and seek Kate’s advice on his lady in silver that Anthony realised that his family came to Kate because they loved and respected her.

She was the Viscountess. His viscountess

People used to go to his mother for advice, he remembered his father sitting with the children whilst his aunt’s Billie and Georgiana and even Uncle Hugo had sat asking Violet for help rather than his father.

It was history repeating itself and he found as he got older, and the family grew, first with Sophie, then John, then Phillip, Michael and Penelope and eventually Gareth and Lucy that he liked his family going to Kate for help and advice.

Yes sure he was the head of the family but Kate… as she so wisely pointed out one night she was his boss and they were just cutting out the middleman.

The few times they had gone to him for advice and help… he has actually said the words “I’ll have to ask Kate”

He wasn’t the Head of the Family. Kate was and he wouldn’t have it any other way
