do people even understand that if benedict asks sophie to be his wife right away instead of his mistress there will be no plot? no growing from benedict's part? sophie doesn't want an illegitimate child and that's why she denies being his mistress. with benedict proposing to her from the get-go, what story would we have? sophie would probably never grow closer to the bridgertons in the same way she did while working for them, the whole set up of benedict giving up his privileges wouldnt exist. benedict asking sophie to be his mistress was never the problem, but him insisting and being inconsiderate to her while continuing to do so was.
#it's a vital part of their story and for us to know sophie#the lake scene and that happens after are one of my favorite parts of the book and it's specifically bc of the conflict#them wanting to be together but this thing being in their way was why we were able to see how strongly they needed each other#what kind of conflict we would even have if benedict never asked it#bc violet wouldn't dare come in between them#she said herself at the beginning of the book she'd let him marry a pauper if he wished so#the setup we've been getting with benedict in the tv show is been perfect#and would be even more when he finally faces the conflict of keeping his privileges for his sake or giving them up for sophie#we should be arguing about what would stop benedict from proposing to sophie after she first denies being his mistress instead#bridgerton#benedict bridgerton#sophie beckett#benophie#what*#im a strong believer that sophie would accept being his mistress if she wasn't illegitimate and only bc its benedict asking
