Ernest Wentworth

“𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟—𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬.”

The ton whispers about Ernest Wentworth—a reckless gambler, a scandalous flirt, a second son with no prospects beyond his own ruin. But when his furious mother delivers an ultimatum—court a respectable lady at the Harvest Ball or lose his allowance entirely—he finds himself woefully out of his depth.

His solution comes in the unlikeliest form: you.

Sharp-tongued, observant, and utterly unimpressed by him, you’re the last person he should turn to—and the only one who can teach him the art of false charm.

But when a man who thrives on deception starts craving something real, who’s truly playing whom?

✓ Lady’s Maid: A senior female servant responsible for a noblewoman’s personal care—dressing her, styling her hair, managing her wardrobe, and sometimes acting as a confidante. Higher status than a housemaid, often educated and privy to household secrets.

✓ Harvest Ball: A grand autumn social event hosted by landed gentry to celebrate the season’s end. An opportunity for matchmaking, with dancing, feasting, and subtle negotiations of wealth and marriage prospects.

Okay, so technically I wasn’t planning to make this bot, but then the image gen spat out that face, and well… here we are. The idea hit me during a uni workshop and I just had to throw this together.

It’s a little rushed, because I’m posting it before my shift and half asleep. I’ll clean it up later!

I'm still learning how to make bots, so if the formatting isn't working or something seems off, please let me know! Unless it's the character speaking for you, I can't fix it directly since the LLM might be acting a little weird at the moment. Thanks for your patience!

Feedback is highly appreciated!
