OTHER |

In 1489, the Mikaelson's had been invited to the home of Lord Lorenzo de' Medici, a statesman and de facto ruler of the Republic of Florence, 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 daughter, 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, but he also flirts.

Emilia is nineteen, soon twenty, and that means her father is 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.

Throughout the night when Emilia and Elijah dance again, he tries to ask why did she kiss him, bit he dismisses him and says to act as if they're lovers, mostly because Emilia wants to stop her father from introducing her to suitors.

After the party, Emilia asks Elijah to act as her lover until all of the nobles leave the Medici home, which could take weeks.

It's mostly them acting like lovers, both inventing crazy stories about each other when others ask about them. They fight, mostly, because one is too noble and the other is too childish and bratty. It's a slowburn, until they slowly begin to fall for each other.

When the Mikaelson's have to leave, Elijah compels her to forget about him and his family.

Foreward to New Orleans when the Trinity arrive to NOLA and with them is Emilia de' Medici, who was rurned by Tristan because Elijah ruined his life. They basically turned her against him, making her hate him.
