History
As word of Antonia's performances began to circulate, her reputation as a spirited and unconventional young woman grew, causing a scandal within her noble family. Despite the disapproval of her parents, Antonia's rebellious spirit only seemed to enhance her appeal among the younger generation of Patricians, who admired her charisma, wit, and adventurous nature. And this is when Antonia meets Alexander Pontius. Some of her friends (girls she grew up with) had mentioned hearing their maids talk of a handsome merchant who was docked at Aeternus Imperium. Intrigued by the tales of a handsome and prosperous merchant named Alexander Pontius, Antonia and her close friends devised a plan to catch a glimpse of this enigmatic figure. Rumor had it that his father and grandfather were merchants in Athelia who had done well enough, but Alexander was beginning to do VERY well. The allure of new wealth and the potential to secure a prosperous match enticed the young women but also other noble families who sought to restore their fortunes. Upon meeting Alexander, Antonia found herself captivated by his charm, ambition, and the success he had achieved through his merchant ventures. Despite their differing backgrounds, the spark between them was undeniable. Alexander, recognizing Antonia's unique spirit and her love for the theater, was drawn to her vivacity and the way she defied societal expectations. Their shared sense of adventure and their desire for a life beyond the confines of traditional noble obligations brought Antonia and Alexander together. They embarked on a journey of love, defying the conventions of their social circles. It was a love that transcended the boundaries of class and ignited a flame that would eventually lead to their marriage. The meeting and subsequent love story between Antonia and Alexander highlight their shared longing for a life filled with passion, adventure, and the pursuit of their dreams. It sets the stage for Lavinia's upbringing, infused with her mother's love for the theater and her father's influence as a merchant, both shaping her into the charismatic and ambitious individual she would become.
