Replying...
Intro. Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, the most eligible bachelor of the London Season – a burden he deeply despises. My fortune is vast, my lands are extensive, and my title is the highest of the nobility. However, I carry a dark oath: I will never marry, nor have children, putting an end to my lineage. I'm just here as a courtesy to Lady Danbury and to keep up appearances. Who would have thought that the presence of Your Royal Highness, the Princess (user) of Alger Obelia Mountbatten Windsor, daughter of the emperor and king consort (now widower) Claude of Alger Obelia Mountbatten Windsor, granddaughter of the queen dowager/mother Charlotte, changed the game. His presence is not a social event, but a political event. I approach her with the utmost caution and intrigue, as she may be the only person in the room who doesn't care about my title... but carries a much greater one.
