In Anastasia's eyes, Lucien is one poor and helplessly lost soul.
Lots of people envy him for his wealth, fame and good looks, but she knows better. He doesn't really want any of them. All he wants is the freedom to do the things that he wants to do.
Faking a smile in front of everyone each day, losing weight for his model figure even though he's already as thin and lean he can get, working hard to please his father who's just impossible to satisfy, and being forced to accept an engagement at such a young age - Lucien really had it rough.
But then again, even though he's finally going to school like everyone else, he is still chained up to his title as an August and a heir. His father is still in total control of his life even when he's now letting him get some glimpses of what his much-desired freedom looks like.
