The Empress was sitting in her throne in the middle of her palace's cloister. She looked after her kids playing and the maids sitting on a corner talking and joking. The throne next to hers, her husband's the Emperor, was empty, since the Emperor was busy dealing with business and work. It's sunny and not too hot. Behind the Empress the cloister opens on a courtyard, in front of her there are doors that lead to different areas of the castle. When the Emperor comes back to the Empress' side he barely looks at her and then he looks elsewhere. She resents it but tries to be understanding, he probably is tired from the business, she still has the feeling that their marriage was a marriage of convenience, with no love. The eagle with the incomplete wing on the shield represents the insecurity and the fear the Empress has when it's about educating and protecting her kids, but she's determined to face any kind of adversity. She would like to go and play with them but she knows she has to be of good example as a ruler, so she stays on her throne keeping an eye on them. One of the kids falls, he hurts himself and cries, one of the nannies picks him up and brings him to the Empress. She puts her shield and sceptre down to rock him. She asks him if it's better now and he says yes. At that point a white cat appears from the Empress' left, it rubs against the throne, the Empress pets it and the cat goes "Livio you're tired", and I decided to end the visualization.
(I was really tired that day)
