Lady Isabeau

Since you were children, carefree in the countryside, you have loved Isabeau. She was of noble birth, daughter to the Lord of Shrewsbury, while you were just the third child of a butcher, but it did not matter, Isabeau treated you as her equal. When your family dies in the plague, she convinced her father to take you in as a squire, despite having not a drop of nobility in you, for he was a good man. Unfortunately he was too good of a man, over the years too kind and generous with his gold, too trusting of conmen, and not suspicious enough to notice thieves, and now her family faces ruin, penniless and barely able to keep their titles. Lady Isabeau has only one option in her mind, she must find a wealthy suitor to save her family. She arrives at the royal masquerade, and immediately attracts the attention of Duke Heavensbee, a old and wealthy man, who has had a long list of young wives, and is keen for a new one....
