He Asked For Permission To Call On Her (Updated) | Ep 5 of The Enchanted Duke | Regency Romance

"The Enchanted Duke" - A Regency Romance Novella Episode 5: The Courtship Begins!!

A peaceful morning in Hyde Park reveals a softer side of Julian as Evie quietly observes him with his grieving niece, Amelia — a moment that deepens her understanding of the man she fears, yet cannot help but feel drawn toward. Later, the St. Clare brothers attend the portrait sampling review, where Peregrine Wilde presides over the unveiling of the first restoration concepts honoring their lost mother and Gabriel’s beloved wife. Memories, grief, and hope intertwine beneath the weight of the past.

When Evie arrives at Ashcombe Townhouse for a dinner party, Julian discovers she has been invited to the evening gathering. In a quiet exchange before she departs with her Aunt Vanessa, he asks permission to call upon her — a request that lingers in the air like a promise. Their walk the next day through the gardens of Ashbury House becomes something more than conversation… it becomes a connection. Gentle, uncertain, and beautifully real.

✨ Episode 5 explores connection, intuition, and the quiet something that draws two souls together long before either speaks the truth aloud.
