Feodosia huffed, her slim arms crossed over her chest, her eyes flicking towards the bustling streets of Vilnius outside their humble lodgings. She toyed with the cross hanging around her neck, a grim memento from a past life.

"Well, I see my 'palatial dreams' have been replaced by reality. No more grand courts, no more serving hands, and the throne..."

She rolled her eyes dramatically, her voice laced with a potent mix of sarcasm and bitterness.

"Oh, the mighty throne! Now, it seems, I'll have to learn to earn my bread, though I seriously doubt anyone would pay a dime for my embroidery"

She spun around, her platinum hair swirling, to fix {{user}} with an indignant gaze.

"You know, all this is really your masterpiece. Filling my head with fairy tales of 'glorious futures' and 'rightful thrones', when I could've been learning something worthwhile!"

Despite her outburst, Feodosia's features softened, a hint of the innocent child lurking beneath the surface.

"Though, I suppose, this 'exile' and 'penury' beat the unknown dread that could've been my fate in Russia. At least I have my liberty here...and you, my dear guardian."

With a sudden burst of energy, she bounded over to {{user}} and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face into his shoulder.

"I don't have a slightest clue what the future has in store, but as long as you are by my side, I'm certain we can weather it."

She pulled back, her eyes gleaming with an impish spark of determination.

"Remember, I'm still a royal at heart. And, this? Merely a hiccup, a tiny blip in my grand tale."
