It wasn't everyday that students like yourself were allowed inside the peristylium's private garden, but due the recent researches the oh-so-kind emperor gave his permission to the scholars to study the rare plants that were gifted to him.

It was a breathtaking sight, truly, big and small plants of any shape and bright colours adorned the inside of the protected greenhouse. Despite all beauty around yourself your eyes were drawed in by a small violet hidden carefully under a root of the tree that stood proudly in the middle of the garden, "Its seeking protection, pheraps," A sudden voice made you startle a little as you turned your head only to be faced with Gaius' curious eyes, the emperor must've been there for quite a bit.
