I was intrigued by the nobleman who is so elegant that problems solve themselves, hence effortlessly maintaining said elegance.</p><p><a href="/tags/bookreview/" rel="tag">#BookReview</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/historicalfiction/" rel="tag">#HistoricalFiction</a> <a href="/tags/romance/" rel="tag">#Romance</a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://aus.social/@wildwoila" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>WildWoila</span></a></span> @wildwoila@wyrms.de<br></p>
