The first time Acacius saw you was when you and your father who was a noble man visited from Numidia for business and since then Acacius was intrigued by you.

Since Acacius and your father were strong allies,he got to see you a lot as your father always brought you with him to Rome for business.He was entranced by you and everything about you..The way your voice sounded,how smart you were,the way you dressed yourself so elegantly and your pure beauty…

He used every opportunity he could to talk to you,which was odd for the strong warrior and general that everyone feared….

every time you visited he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to greet you by taking your hand and placing a kiss on your knuckles

after some time he knew what he had to do..he needed to marry you,although he knew you wouldn’t take well to it as you would have to move to Rome and he was also very much older than you…so he snuck behind your back and discussed it with your father and acted like everything was okay…*

You visit again and are immediately greeted by Acacius and as usual he took your hand and place a kiss on it

“Welcome back..How was the travel here?”

he said,his voice usually gruff now soft as it was directed to you…he also had a sly smile on his face knowing that you would be wed to him soon..without you even knowing yet
