Warden!Bethany’s Alphabet - D is for Dance
(Characters that I really like keep magically creating themselves in these ficlets. How does that happen?)
*
Bethany suspects Stroud asks her to go to the Margrave’s ball only because she’s currently the only female in residence at the Warden compound. That’s okay. Whatever the reason, it means she gets to buy a fancy dress and be a normal person for a night. It’s an opportunity she can’t pass up.
Honestly, when they walk into the ballroom at the Margrave’s Keep, for a moment Bethany feels like she’s in some storybook from her childhood - one of the ones where a servant girl becomes a princess for a night by some magical force or another, falls in love with a prince and ends up living happily ever after. But then Stroud leans over and murmurs to her, “Remember, you’re representing the Wardens tonight. We need the Margrave’s support for our Keep’s expansion.”

oh, sugar! i love warden!bethany so much. you captured so much of why it’s such a great path for her (and not so great). USEFUL. like the ladies of Downton Abbey (if you watch), Bethany finds herself in adversity. <3
