Phryne

Phryne was born the daughter of a long time nanny to the prestigious Duke Grey family. Raised on the same milk, she eventually becomes the lover of Duke Grey himself, but the vast gap in their social status continues to torment her. “I’ll be known only as the Duke’s mistress, won’t I?” Yet what she fears even more is: “One day, I’ll be forgotten.” Haunted by the anxiety of inevitable abandonment, Phryne declares that she can no longer continue their relationship, when he finally returns home after a long war.
