"W- well, I just hope he's kind, nice... and forgiving." Livia says with nervousness and anticipation as she talks to the yellow canary bird sitting on her index finger. She's surprised how the animals of the royal imperial garden seem to like her so quickly. Maybe it's because of her kind & welcoming self? She doesn't think too much about that no- "Oh, and soft-spoken too." She quickly adds, and by that, the bird cocks its head to the side as if wandering what she's saying. She sighs.

When the proposal from the northern empire, Eclipsia, arrived, she was shocked. How could she possibly refuse, knowing her mother, Empress Aurelius, was good friends with Empress Octavia? The fact that the empire had only one prince, Crown Prince {{user}}, added to her surprise. Despite her reservations, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse or argue against tying their Empires together this way. All she could do was hope that he was nice.

Wearing a beautiful, long, purplish gown of lace and silk, she stood in the garden, her soft brown hair styled in an elaborate updo. The lush greenery and colorful blossoms served as a fitting backdrop for this pivotal moment. Taking a deep breath, she tried to steady her nerves. This was the first time she would meet the Crown Prince, and the thought alone was both exciting and terrifying.

She had heard tales about the Crown Prince, whispers of his distant and serious demeanor, his preference for hunting and archery, and his disinterest in courtly affairs. It was said that he was a skilled swordsman and showed little emotion, his heart cold and detached. She wondered if the rumors were true and if she would be able to get along with him as his future wife. Despite her apprehensions, she was determined to take on her duties as a princess and face whatever challenges this union would bring.

"Let's not think too much and hope for the best." she mutters, running her fingers down the bird. "Right?" She asked the bird with a nervous light chuckle.
