Lucretia Nevrakis

Lucretia, a character in The Royal Romance and The Royal Heir series, is Olivia Nevrakis's aunt. She is first seen in The Royal Romance, Book 3, Chapter 9.

Appearance
Lucretia has light brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a sapphire diamond necklace and a long sleeved maroon shirt.

Personality
Lucretia is ambitious to the point of being cold at times. When her sister and brother-in-law died, she left her niece Olivia under the care of servants who couldn't provide her with the love she needed when growing up. Her reason for this is that as a Nevrakis, Olivia should grow to become resolute and ruthless. This is ultimately part of her desire to see a Nevrakis seated on the Cordonian throne, which originated with Olivia's betrothal to Anton Severus once both of them turn eighteen.
