Similar questions weren't the first time Amalia had asked. Livia remembered the last time she was asked, when Amalia was curious about what type of girl she preferred.
Although her answer had been ambiguous at the time, she had given a relatively clear response by the end of the conversation.

Compared to them, Livia actually didn't like the tyrant emperor from the later parts of the novel.
If she had arrived in this world a few years later, she would have undoubtedly stood on the opposite side of Amalia, in a life-and-death struggle.
This antagonism didn't just stem from the plot but more from their personalities and values.
