Our story takes us to the realm of Derbyshire where intrigue and conspiracy rule the day. Elizabeth is a very clever girl who is destined to meet a very handsome prince. Prince Darcy is guarded and unsure of who to trust because of past betrayals. That all changes when he meets Elizabeth and her many charms soon break down the walls he has always had around him.

What was going through Lizzy's mind in that eternal moment between her rejection of Darcy and his retreat? Heated, fervent hatred and perhaps something else? Based on the scene in the movie adaptation where Darcy confesses his love in the rain. Smut, character study. Canon-compliant and period-compliant.
