 Tag: @edmundbridgerton i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY Anthony was beyond excited! He truly loved days like this when his father would take him for a hike. Or spending any one on one time with Edmund, really. Anthony had been the only child for two years and little did he know that there would be six -- soon to be seven -- to follow. He had learned that he needed to share his father and yet, he always managed to somehow make time to spend only with Anthony. Edmund truly was his hero. Today, they were going to go hunting which, was not Anthony's strong suit. His father was such an excellent shot and he longed to make him proud!
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Trudging along the wooded area, musket in hand, Anthony smiled at his father as he remarked on the day. "Indeed!" He agreed, for he seldom disagreed with his father. "And who knows. Maybe the day will be kind enough for me to make my first kill." To shoot and actually hit his target. It was not easy and yet, his father was ever so patient with him. Anthony could truly not love his father any more than he already did. "How old were you when you landed your first kill?" Anthony inquired, wanting to be just like Edmund.

Tag: @cressidacowper i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY How had it come to this? One moment Anthony was being told that his presence was desired for business purposes . . . the next, he was in a room alone with Cressida and moments after, a hoard of people had entered. It was enough to entrap them both into a marriage. And yet . . . Anthony was not entirely objectionable. Despite the fact that this was certainly not how he had intended to marry his future wife, it was not the most . . . terrible of circumstances. The Cowper's were a notable family, one of the wealthier among the ton. And Cressida was . . . well, not as disliked by him as some of the women he had come to hear about.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
But she was not, a terrible option. She seemed as if she would fit into the role of Viscountess -- perhaps -- and she was rather beautiful, any man would agree. And most importantly, Anthony was not looking for a love match. So perhaps this was for the best because . . . he knew he was never going to fall in love with Cressida. Just as he would prefer to remain it so. Yet, there was much that still needed to be discussed. He knew her as a woman eager to find her match with each passing season. But, he did not know her on any personal level. And while Anthony preferred that to some extent, he did of course have to ensure they held understanding, for they were both forced into this situation, with their wedding mere days away -- now that he had acquired a special license, the news he had yet to share with his . . . fiancé.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
He arrived at her home, being led to the parlor where he was told to wait for her to arrive. He remained standing and did not have to wait long until she made her entrance. "Miss Cowper," he greeted lowering his head. "I hope I have not interrupted your afternoon." Because he had come unannounced yet, as he previously recognized . . . they had but mere days before their wedding. A wedding born of such circumstances was often one made in haste.

Tag: @edwina i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY This marriage was . . . everything Anthony had expected it to be. Everything he had planned it to be. Ever since the Queen had named the Diamond of the Season, he had his eyes set on Edwina because . . . because it had made sense. They were both objectively the best match with love far removed from the equation. After all, he had but a handful of years left if his father's death was any indication -- for Anthony believed he too would pass in that year. And if his wife did not love him, then she need not mourn. And if he did not love her, then her loss while felt, would not devastate and crumble him to practically non existing. As he had witnessed many years ago. So yes. This all made sense, and Edwina held no objection to the union. She seemed happy, and he would take care of her well. They would have children and all would as it was meant to.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
This, is what Anthony need focus on. Not the fact that he had felt such strong emotions for his sister. Feelings he had set to rest, particularly now with Kate gone back to India. It was both torture and relief. For he would not have to see her. He would not have to look at her, to feel her near . . . to smell her intoxicating scent. She was gone and to be quite frank, he preferred it this way. His marriage was done, his duty was set and he would live out the remainder of his years in this fitting role in which he belonged. And of course, could do what he could to provide for her, to make her happy, and to ensure that she did not want for anything.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
As he was putting some things away he came to find a bracelet. Inspecting it, and not recognizing it, he of course assumed it was his wife's. Perhaps she had misplaced it, considering where it had revealed itself to be. It was quite beautiful and ornate. Surely, Edwina would be missing this. Stepping out of the room and asking a passing servant where the Viscountess was, Anthony was informed that she was in the parlor in preparation for tea. Making his way there, he saw her sitting alone and approached, extending the bracelet towards her. "I found this wrapped in some cloth." Standing in front of her, he held out the piece of jewelry so that she could take it. "I presume it is yours and perhaps was misplaced?" Both inquiry and assumption in his tone.

i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY Anthony started at the papers in front of him, without actually being able to truly see anything. He felt numb. Empty. And yet somehow, devastated at the same time. He did not know how he was functioning. He felt as if he was just watching everything unfold around him, a hallow shell of a man while his spirt ghosted over him and merely witnessed. And yet, things were happening. A great deal was happening. Both quickly, and at a slowed pace. How was it possible? Anthony hadn't the faintest idea. What he did know was that . . . he felt like he could not breathe. He hardly felt alive from the devastation of losing his father. Losing the man that he idolized. The strongest, wisest, bravest . . . every heroic trait that a man could possess, was encompassed in Edmund. No. It had been encompassed in Edmund.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
But time did not stand still for any loss. Life moved on and Anthony had to use every ounce of strength within him to make it so. Hyacinth had recently been born and the events surrounding her birth had been traumatic. He'd been asked to choose between the baby or his mother. What kind of choice was this? How could he ever decide such a thing? He left it to his mother and . . . moved forward. For the sake of his family. Hyacinth would have no memories of her father. Gregory, so far and few. His other siblings, distraught over the loss and their mother . . . their dear mother. Anthony feared that they would lose both parents. Edmund, they had lost physically. And Violet . . . he was terrified that they would lose her emotionally. For she was just, not . . . there. Pushing his papers forward and out of sight, Anthony hung his head for a moment.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
The hour was late and everyone was sound asleep. He hated being in this room, in his father's office. It felt cold and empty. Not like when he was here before and he would keep his father company while he worked. Now . . . he simply hated it. Taking hold of a candle he made his way upstairs. He first checked on Gregory, who was sound asleep. Then, made his way to check on Francesca, then Eloise. Daphne. Colin. Benedict. And as he neared his mother's room, he could hear Hyacinth. A faint crying sound. But, he could not hear his mother. Stopping outside her door, Anthony took a deep breath, needing to compose himself. He could not accept the title of Viscount despite the legal placing of it . . . so he would settle for simply being the eldest son. And the one who could not mourn in front of his family who needed him.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Lightly knocking on the door, he waited but a moment before entering to see his mother and Hyacinth. "Mother?" He said in a low voice, allowing himself entrance into her room whether she liked it or not. "Has she been fed?" He wondered if her cries were simply for attention, or if she was hungry. His knowledge of children known only from having witnessed so many born into the family. But this would be the first, that one was absent a father. And yet . . . Anthony would do whatever he could to step into that role, as mediocre as it would be for no one, absolutely no one compared to Viscount Edmund Bridgerton. |

i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY Anthony was livid. One would think that now that he was married he would be far more settled -- emotionally -- than times past. One may also assume that because he had 7 siblings, that his overprotective nature would dwindle with each one. But neither were true of the Viscount. He was equally protective over all his sisters and brothers . . . and Eloise Bridgerton was no exception. He had come to find out that in her time in Bloomsbury, she had also found herself in the company of a young man. He had only his name and where he worked, which was enough for him to set his sights towards meeting him.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Unsure as to what he was going to say, he felt his emotions getting the better of him. He may trust his sister but she was still young and men . . . well, he knew what men wanted. What a man could possibly want with a young, beautiful woman. And Anthony Bridgerton was going make sure Theo knew he would never get it. Arriving at the printing shop, stepped inside and he saw a young man, eyeing him. Despite the storming rage within him, Anthony was perfectly composed and calm -- for the time being. Best he verify the identity of this Theo Sharpe before he unleash himself upon him. "Excuse me," he spoke politely. "I am looking for a Mister Theo Sharpe."

 Tag: @cressidacowper i am a viscount IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY Anthony was not sure how he had gotten into this situation. Ah yes. It was most likely when he told his mother he was intending on finding a wife this season. Ever since that moment, his mother spared no moment to introduce him to someone. Or, announce his intentions rather loudly so that every woman within ear shot -- and somehow miraculously beyond -- came to make an impression. So when the opportunity to promenade with Cressida came up, it all seemed to fall into place rather quickly.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
He was fairly certain he had not said a word until the arrangements were made and all eyes were upon him to agree. And, well, what sort of gentleman would he be to deny a young woman . . . without sound reason. Anthony was not deaf to complaints about Cressida -- her name after all had come up in regards to why Simon and Daphne had to wed. But truly, there was nothing wrong with the woman. She was pleasant to look at, had a strong and wealthy family, and seemed to know her place in society. She like him, knew where they fit in. Or so Anthony thought.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
So when the afternoon was upon them, he with his family -- minimal in number thank God -- made their way to the park. He politely smiled at Cressida's mother before focusing his attention on Cressida. "And you Miss Cowper," he returned and greeted with a small nod. "You look lovely this afternoon." An honest statement. After all, as he previously established there was nothing evidently wrong with her. Perhaps he should give her a chance. Many women had failed to fit all his criteria thus far . . . while he held no expectation as to whether she would fulfil his requirements, there was certainly no harm in finding out. "Shall we?" He gestured politely, expecting his mother to fall back a few steps so that he may speak to Cressida during their stroll.

  Tag: @eloisebridgerton i myself AM CURSED TO REMEMBER
EVERY WAKING MOMENT Anthony did not come to Aubrey Hall very often and there was a specific reason for that. His visits here would be due to strictly business and . . . not as they once were when the family would come to the country and enjoy the fresh air and escape of the ton. Ever since their father passed, Aubrey Hall held far too many . . . memories for Anthony. Once that constantly plagued his mind, yet they seemed to manifest at their worst here. To remember how his father died, how it had affected them all . . . and the struggle to cope in the time that came after.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Anthony was indeed cursed to remember every moment, and it was precisely why he could not bare to endure anything of it's like again. He had seen his mother, distraught, devastated beyond anything imaginable. Which was why, he would not go through such pain in losing a wife. But more importantly, he would not put his wife through that loss either. Which was why, it was best to remove love from the equation at all. His days were already numbered. He would not love and be loved, only for each to learn the pain of loss. Anthony for one, could not survive it. So despite whatever objections his family may hold, or how they perceive him to be . . . the Viscount knew it was for the best. His family always came first, above all else and thus, he would fulfill the duties expected of him.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Unsure of how long someone had been there, he finally seemed to recognize the other presence. His mind far too caught up to have heard them approach. He'd found himself in front of Edmund's grave, the memories that haunted him racing through his mind as he recalled every moment. Slowly turning his eyes rested on Eloise, breaking him out of whatever tragic trance he had seemed to enter. "Eloise," he greeted with a short nod. "If you would like a moment alone, I can make my leave." He did not speak of his father often either, he knew that. Gregory and Hyacinth held no memory of him . . . and while he wished they were not deprived so, he could not bring himself to speak of the man that he idolized; his true hero, gone forever from this world.
