— EMILIA DE' MEDICI
daughter of the Lord Lorenzo de' Medici, a statesman and de facto ruler of the Republic of Florence. Her father invited the Mikaelsons for a masquerade party, celebrating the birth of his first grandson. The party was grand, with nobles from all around the world attending, from France to Spain, from Morocco to Bhutan.
While dancing, Elijah Mikaelson catches the eye of one of Lord Medici's daughters, Emilia. When they switch partners mid-dance, they introduce each other and begin to talk, mostly her questioning his actions and how he came to be in court. He answers her, very charmingly.
Emilia is nineteen, soon twenty, meaning that her father was searching for a husband for her, but she doesn't want to marry out of a political alliance. She wants to marry for love, which is why when her father is to introduce her to the first son of the Duke of Saxony, she kisses Elijah in front of everyone. When she pulls away, she gives her father a smile and winks at Elijah, who is stunned and speechless for one of the few times in his life.
Starting a series of pretending to court him while he undoubtedly falls for her courageous and unexpected personality...
