Alexander: (sighing) Nicolau, I need your help. I'm facing a big fight inside me.Nicolau: (worried) What's going on, my friend?Alexandre: (frustrated) My family does not accept my love for Giovanna. They want me to marry the princess chosen by the king, but I can't give up on her.Nicolau: (calm) I understand what you're going through, Alexandre. This is a delicate situation.Alexander: (nervous) The king was furious when I mentioned that he loved Giovanna. He doesn't want me to follow this path.Nicholas: (pondering) I understand the king's concerns. An arranged marriage is traditional and political, but true love is also powerful.Alexandre: (confused) I don't know what to do, Nicolau. I am torn between my feelings for Giovanna and the responsibility to my family and kingdom.Nicolau: (undertaking) I understand your position, but you need to be faithful to what you feel in your heart.

As I walked across the deck of the ship, my thoughts were tumultuous. Social networks were full of cruel comments and threats from people who did not accept our relationship. I knew I would face resistance, but I didn't imagine it would be so intense.Gisele and Jussara, my best friends, were worried and advised me to reconsider everything. They feared for my safety and the reputation of our family.Gisele: "Giovanna, this is getting dangerous. These threats are serious, we can't ignore them."Jussara: "It's true, Giovanna. And what will your followers think? Our family can also be affected by this."Me: "I know it's not easy for you, but my heart can't ignore what I feel for Alexandre. I love him and I don't want to live a life of lies."Gisele: "But what if something happens to you? What if you're harmed because of that?"Me: "I can't let fear rule my life. I need to face the consequences of my choices."Jussara: "But Giovanna, the pressure will be immense. Are you prepared for this
The Duke's pressure on me was relentless, like a dark shadow that insisted on haunting me. His looks of disdain and his sharp words hit me like daggers, hurting my already so overwhelmed heart. The humiliation he inflicted on me seemed like a punishment for the simple fact of loving Prince Alexander.In every meeting with the Duke, I needed to face his arrogance and hostility. He made a point of making it clear that my presence was not welcome and that I was not worthy of being next to his royal family. His contempt hit me like an open wound, but I refused to give in to his cruelty.Amid his threats and manipulations, I clung to the force I found in my love for Alexandre. It was this love that gave me the courage to face the Duke and all the adversities that arose in our way.With a heavy heart, I tried not to give in to the fear and insecurity that the Duke tried to instill in me. I knew he was willing to use any artifice to separate us, but I wouldn't let him destroy what we had bui
We talked for some more time, sharing our fears and hopes. Gisele encourages me to follow my heart, but also to be realistic about the difficulties that lie ahead.After the frank conversation with Gisele, I share with Jussara about my relationship with Prince Alexander. She listens attentively and, like Gisele, expresses her concerns."Gio, I understand that you are in love, but we need to be very careful. The Duke has already shown that he is capable of anything to separate us," Jussara says, looking directly into my eyes."I know, Jussara. But I don't want you to take any risk because of me," I reply worried.Gisele intervenes, firm. "We're not taking a risk for you, Gio. We are your friends and we will always be by your side, no matter what happens. If you chose to stay with the prince, then we are also choosing to support her."Jussara nodded, agreeing with her friend. "Exeously. We won't let anything happen to you. Let's protect this secret with our lives, if necessary."I feel
Listening to Giovanna tell me about the threats she was facing because of me, my heart squeezed with concern and anger. How could anyone be so cruel as to threaten such a special person as her? I wanted to protect her in every possible way, but I knew I couldn't do it alone."I'm sorry, Giovanna," I said tenderly, holding your hands in mine. "No one should go through this, especially because of me."She looked into my eyes and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Alexandre. I'm fine. I just wanted you to know what's going on.""But I can't stand idly by while you're suffering because of me," I said, feeling a mixture of impotence and determination. "I'm going to talk to Nicolau and strengthen our security. We need to make sure you're safe."Giovanna shook my hands gently. "I know you would do anything to protect me, and I will also do the same for you," she said firmly. "But I think it's important to act carefully. The last thing we want is for these threats to intensify."She was right. I
After the confrontation with the Duke, I decided to seek a solution to the impasse with the arranged marriage. I knew I couldn't just ignore the situation and that I needed to talk to the promised princess, Lyandra. I decided to make a video call with her to expose my feelings and listen to what she had to say."Prince Alexandre," Lyandra said with a cold smile when answering the call. "What a surprise to see you here.""Lyandra, we need to talk," I started, trying to maintain a respectful tone.She rolled her eyes discreetly. "About what? I believe everything is already clear between us, isn't it? The marriage has been settled for a long time.""Yes, but..." I hesitated for a moment, looking for the right words to express my feelings. "I can't move forward with this marriage."Lyandra arched an eyebrow. "And why not, if I may ask?""Because my heart belongs to someone else," I replied, determined to be honest with her. "I love Giovanna, and I can't marry you or anyone other than her.
The storm inside me was growing, and I felt that I could no longer postpone the decision. I needed to choose between my love for Giovanna and my real obligations. But the choice was not easy, and I was terrified of the consequences of any decision I made.As the ship swayed under the waves, my mind also oscillated between the determination to follow my heart and the fear of facing the consequences. There was no easy answer, and I knew that my decision would affect not only my life, but also that of Giovanna and that of the whole kingdom.But deep in my heart, I knew what was right. My love for Giovanna was true and intense, and I could no longer ignore this feeling. I decided that I would face any obstacle to stand next to her, even if it meant giving up my real position.I knew that this decision would not be well received by my family and the king, and that there would be consequences. But I was willing to face everything for Giovanna.While we were meeting in one of the isolated co
The heart accelerated in my chest as we gathered in an isolated cabin to make the final plans for our escape. Alexandre held my hand tenderly, transmitting confidence and support in every touch."We are about to embark on an uncertain journey, Giovanna. But together, we will overcome any obstacle," he said with determination.I nodded, looking into his eyes, and felt a mixture of emotions. The joy of being with the man she loved, but also the anxiety for what was to come. I knew we would face challenges, but our love gave me the strength to move on."I trust you, Alexandre. Together, we can face everything," I replied with a sincere smile.Our plans involved a carefully planned escape during the night. The yacht would wait for us at a strategic point of the ship, and we would count on the loyal help of some crew members to ensure that everything went as planned."We must be cautious, Giovanna. Discretion is our ally," warned Alexandre, emphasizing the importance of not raising suspici
