Percival is definitely the child of Duke Richards and Rosalyn Sinclaire and Lady Lavinia is definitely Ernest’s wife who was have been “dead” since the child was born.
I think Ledford Park was burned because Gideon wanted to erase any proof of Rosalyn being alive or how she faked her death.
Lady Lavinia (aka Rosalyn) will wed Viscount Westonly, kill him and take his fortune.
Gideon will marry Rosalyn and become Percival stepfather.
Then Gideon will kill Rosalyn and become the legal guardian of Percival.
The killing of Rosalyn would be made with Ernest family pistol so he can blame him on the crime, something like “Mr. Ersnest Sinclaire found out that her wife was still alive and in a jealous rage, he killed her”
Maybe he will try to incriminate MC saying that she helped killing Rosalyn in order to marry Mr. Sinclair.
Therefore, Mc lose her title and Harry becomes Earl of Edgewater.
With Harry as head of a prestigious house at his side and the fortune of Viscount Westonly, Gideon will led a revolution and try to claim the English throne in the name of his stepson.
Once Percival becomes King, Gideon asumes the position of Regent due to Percival being a minor and then he becomes the most powerfull man in England.

We know that the scumbag, aka Duke Tristan Richards of Karlington, is not the best marksman and also he doesn’t have a sense of honor or chivalry so I was thinking of the duel and the posibles outcomes.
We are in chapter nine so we have between eight and ten more chapters before the book ends, so I believe that pixelberry is not going to resolve the engagement in this stage of the story.
Knowing what we know about the duke, I think he will use his “virtues” in his favor. Instead of winning the duel, he will ensure that Mr. Sinclaire (or the Li of choice), wins the confrontation but in a way that he looses his honor so he can not really win MC.
Yes, I believe that the guns are altered but in a way to make look bad the Li, not Duke Richards.
So even if Mr Sinclaire “wins”, Mc can’t be with him or he refuses to be with Mc to avoid her losing Edgewater. After all, the bishop will not aprove Edgewater inheritance with such an union.

So, when I played Desire and Decorum’s last chapter, I chose the option“I love you, but I’m angry”and soon after, I regretted it. In the next day, while I was talking with friend, this idea came up and I couldn’t let it go. That’s what I think could have happened next:
‘My anger is temporary, but my love for you is eternal,’ she said it cupping his cheeks and resting her forehead in his. Then, Beatrice kissed him tenderly. He kissed her back desperately. He wraped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. They kissed until felt bretheless.
‘For a moment, I was afraid of losing you… Your anger is legitim, Beatrice. I should have told you sooner…’
‘You’ll never lose me, my Ernest,’ she assured him with another fervent kiss.
She was running her hands through his hair, playing with some of his curls.
‘You really like them, don’t you?’ Mr. Sinclaire asked.
Beatrice answered with a mischievous smirk.
‘Sometimes, I think you like them more than you like me,’ he said teasingly
‘I beg your pardon, Mr. Sinclaire? Let me remind you how much I love you,’ she responded sliding her cold hands under his waistcoat.
His body heat radiated through his clothes.
‘Do you think is too hot here Mr.Sinclaire?’ Beatrice asked tugging his waistcoat.
‘Would you care to do something about it, honorable Countess?’
Beatrice started to undressed him while she planted kisses along his jawline
‘You are really become an expert,’ Mr. Sinclaire praised delighted
‘I just follow the best examples,’ she murmured kissing his neck.
Ernest groaned and started to lifting up her skirt, brushing his fingers along the way. Then, they heard a knock at the door. Once, twice, three times…
‘My lady, as much as love carry on with this…I must…’ she interromped kissing him, ‘I’m waiting for an important menssage’
Beatrice kiss him one last time and helped him to getting decent again.
‘Come in!’ Mr. Sinclaire.
The butler handed him a letter and left the room. Mr Sinclaire opened it and read it carefully. He looked disappointed.
‘What’s going on, Mr Sinclaire? Bad news?’ Beatrice asked worried.
‘Actually, the problem is the absence of news.’
‘I’m not sure if I’m understanding you, Sir..’
‘As soon as he appeared, I hired a person to investigate Comte Renard and apparently he is a ghost. No one has heard a word about him for years and, suddenly, he reappeared a few months ago.’
‘Now, I think it’s best if we press on. We must act fast!’ exclaimed Beatrice.
‘There is one thing that has been troubling me. What happened to the real Comte Renard?’
