As the wife of Czar Mikhail, Eudoxia Streshneva was very bored with her palace life in Moscow. Despite her nobility, she received less attention from her palace's staff, though her married life was satisfactory and she was content with her relationship with Mikhail. She was present when her husband Czar Mikhail and their court saw their guest Bernie Zeppi. Eudoxia was amazed and astonished by the things that were brought to her time from four hundred years in the future, especially the thought of actually flying in the sky. However, she and her husband were aware of the fact that their royal position was precarious and that any changes to Russia's society would further endanger their situation.
