Anne Holstein

"I won't stand to see another woman cry in front of me! Would you like to go out for cake?"

- to Cécilia von Klaus

Anne Holstein is the fiancée of the Crown Prince August, though she admits its really just a political marriage and she couldn't care less who she marries as long as he treats her well. She comes to admire and then (somewhat insistently) befriend Cécilia upon her defending her from a drunkard who was trying to feel her up. Coming by with cakes and tea, dragging her around town to shop and gifting her with flowers, which Livius originally thought were from a suitor, Anne and Cécilia became tight-knit friends and Anne would later use her vast social connections to help her escape from Livius.
