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
As we escaped by the boat of the ship and entered the yacht, my heart was beating hard in my chest. The adrenaline ran in my veins, but I also felt a mixture of fear and anxiety. The escape would not be easy, but I knew we would face the challenges together.As the yacht moved away from the ship, I looked back and saw the silhouette of the imposing ship in the distance. The scenery seemed calm, but he knew the dangers lurking. We needed to stay alert and take care of each other.Alexandre held my hand firmly, as if he wanted to convey all the trust and love he felt for me. His eyes were intense, and I knew he was also looking forward to our journey together. The determination in his gaze calmed and strengthened me.As the yacht went into the sea, we faced agitated waves and strong winds. My hair flew in the wind, and the drops of salt water splashed on my face. But I didn't care, because I was with the man I loved and would do anything for him.The challenges continued as the night ap
As the days went by, Alexandre and I worked together to find a way to face the obstacles that presented themselves in our path. We seek advice from Nicolau and other reliable allies, looking for a solution to the impasse with the royal family.In the midst of pressure and adversity, our love was strengthened. We knew that the journey would not be easy, but we were determined to fight for our love and face the challenges with our heads held high.Now, more than ever, I understand the true meaning of love and courage. The decision to follow my heart and stay with the prince changed my life forever. And despite all the difficulties, I didn't regret it for a second.Facing the consequences of my choices and abandoning my old lifestyle was not easy, but every obstacle we overcame united us even more. I was ready to face any challenge alongside Alexandre, because together we were stronger.After facing the pressure and consequences of our escape, we sat together in a quiet place on the ship
While I was processing the conversation with my father, I found Giovanna and, in her eyes, I saw the same anguish and determination that I felt. We both knew that the path we chose would not be easy, but we were willing to face the challenge together.On the ship, the consequences of our escape became evident. Some crew members and other passengers looked at us with disdain and judgment, while others approached to express their support. The news of our escape had spread quickly and we had to deal with the various reactions of everyone around us.But the strength of our love drove us forward. While facing the unexpected challenges, we found comfort in each other. We talked for hours about how we would face adversity and how we could protect our love in the midst of the storm that had formed around us.The support of Nicolau and our trusted friends was also crucial at that time. They were willing to help us protect our secret and support us in every step of the uncertain journey ahead o
Seeing my sister, Isabel, crying because of me breaks my heart. The last thing I wanted was to cause suffering to my family, especially to her, who is still so young and innocent. Seeing your tears makes clear the weight of my decisions and the impact they have on everyone around me.The guilt hits me hard, and I start to question if I made the right choice by staying with Giovanna. Should I have given in to the pressure of the royal family and followed the path that has been traced to me since birth? Is it worth facing all these difficulties and challenges just to be with someone I love?For a moment, doubt settles in my mind and the fear of causing more pain to my family begins to consume me. I feel divided between the love I feel for Giovanna and the duty I have for my kingdom and my family. It's a difficult and complex choice, and I'm not sure which way to go.I feel lost and confused, and it is difficult to find a clear and definitive answer to what I should do. My heart wants to
Through intelligent negotiations and strategic partnerships, we began to see small improvements in the economy. Each step was a victory, no matter how small, and this encouraged us to persist.The pressures continued, and I felt exhausted at times, but the presence of Alexander next to me was a constant reminder that we were not alone. Together, we faced the challenges, supporting each other in each decision.As time passed, the kingdom began to recover slowly. The economy was still fragile, but hope was reborn in our hearts. I learned that leading was not only making difficult decisions, but also knowing how to trust those around us.Facing the economic crisis showed us that being a princess was more than just glamour and royalty. It was about taking responsibility for the well-being of our people, making difficult decisions and remaining resilient in the face of adversity.The corridors of the castle hid more than luxury and elegance; in them, whispers and furtive looks betrayed a p
However, I was determined to move forward with my plan. With the unwavering support of Alexander and some loyal advisers, we were able to convince the king to allow the charity event to take place.The preparation was arduous, but also rewarding. We mobilized resources and volunteers, and every detail was carefully planned for the event to be a success. I wanted the day to be more than just a charity action, but a demonstration of solidarity and unity in our kingdom.On the day of the event, the place was full of people of all ages and social classes. The energy in the air was palpable, and I felt a mixture of emotions, from the enthusiasm to the concern with the possibility of facing resistance from the nobles during the event.When I took the stage to start the event, I could feel the suspicious looks of some members of the nobility on me. But even in the face of resistance, I maintained my posture and my determination.As the event progressed, I saw the smile on the faces of the pe
Together, we faced that night of intrigue with courage and determination. Each challenge only served to strengthen our relationship and show that we were united against any adversity.As the dance came to an end, I felt relieved to have overcome that test of fire. I knew that the battle against intrigues and rumors was not yet over, but I was ready to face any challenge that came our way.With Alexandre by my side, facing the intrigues of the court didn't seem so scary. We have become a shield for each other, protecting our relationship from the poison of envy and evil.From Giovanna's point of view:The morning was sunny and quiet in the kingdom, but peace soon fell apart when the sound of trumpets and war cries broke out in the air. It was a surprise attack on the royal family, and the court was taken by chaos and confusion.I ran to find Alexandre, my heart racing with fear and worry. I found him in the corridors of the palace, already wearing his royal robes and with the determine
The court was full of nobles, all eager to court the princess. Among them, a new suitor emerged, Duke Frederico. His arrogant smile and insinuating looks soon made me realize his true intentions.From the moment we introduced ourselves, the Duke seemed committed to conquering me. He praised my beauty and skills, but I could see through his false words. His interest in me was not genuine; he had a hidden agenda.The days passed, and the Duke continued to surround me with attention and gifts. He tried to seduce me with his eloquent words and gallant gestures. I knew he was up to something, but I couldn't ignore him completely, since his presence was constant at court.Gradually, I realized that the Duke aimed to weaken Alexander's position as heir to the throne. He longed to replace him as the future king and saw in me an opportunity to achieve his goals. My heart squeezed, because I only wanted to be with Alexandre, but now I faced a new challenge that threatened our relationship and t
Giovanna and I hugged each other, feeling a mixture of emotions. We were relieved to have avoided the tragedy, but also aware that our kingdom was still vulnerable to internal and external threats.In the days that followed, we intensified security and surveillance throughout the kingdom. Our enemies could have been defeated this time, but we knew we needed to be constantly alert to protect our people and our family.This experience has further strengthened our bond. Giovanna and I understood that, together, we were stronger and able to face any challenge that arose in our path. She proved to be my most reliable partner and my beloved, ready to face any obstacle by my side.Throughout our journey as a prince and princess, we faced many challenges, but none of them were as obscure and treacherous as the duke, who always seemed to be one step ahead of us. As much as we tried to get around his traps, he always found a way to harm us.On a sunny afternoon, after another unsuccessful attem
A climate of tension hovered over the royal castle. Rumors began to circulate about a plot at court, and whispers of betrayal and conspiracy echoed through the corridors. Giovanna and I were worried about the safety of our kingdom and our family, and we knew we needed to act quickly.We call a meeting with the most loyal and reliable councilors in the kingdom. Sitting in the throne room, the serious looks of those present revealed the seriousness of the situation. Giovanna remained by my side, showing strength and determination, despite the anguish we felt."We discovered evidence of a group of conspirators who seek to undermine our reign," I announced, facing each person present. "They are working secretly to harm Giovanna and destabilize our kingdom."The murmurs increased among the counselors, and I could see the concern stamped on their faces. Everyone knew that this threat could shake the stability we worked so hard to achieve.Giovanna took the floor, firm and courageous. "We wi
The difficulties in establishing political alliances with other royal families have become an immense challenge for our reign. Many saw our rise with suspicion and resentment, believing that my past as an influencer and our love story could weaken the kingdom.In meetings with other royal families, I felt the weight of the judgmental look on me. It was as if they were waiting for any slip to justify their distrust. Many believed that I was not suitable to be a princess and rule alongside Alexander.These political alliances were fundamental to the stability of the kingdom, but it seemed that it was being judged and put to the test at all times. Every word I said was carefully analyzed, every action interpreted under a critical eye.As much as I tried to prove my ability and loyalty, it seemed that there was always a veil of mistrust in the eyes of others. Alexandre was by my side, giving all the support he could, but even he had difficulty dispelling the doubts of others.I felt frust
But the pressure didn't go down completely. There would always be those who would disagree and try to push us in opposite directions. However, the love we shared and the conviction that we were on the right track kept us firm on our journey.Threats of war hovered over the kingdom, taking advantage of the situation of political fragility that was established due to our fight against the conservative traditions and values of the court. While we were trying to build a solid relationship and face internal challenges, external enemies sought to exploit our apparent vulnerability.Rumors of conspiracies and plots spread quickly, echoing through the corridors of the palace and reaching our ears. It was evident that some neighboring kingdoms saw our union as an opportunity to weaken our kingdom, undermining our ability to deal with possible conflicts.Our advisors warned us about the importance of acting with caution and firmness, but at the same time we could not let fear and uncertainty ta
Slowly, exposure began to decrease, as sensationalist headlines sought new victims to feed the public's voracious appetite for scandals. Over time, the dust settled and we were able to recover some of our privacy.Facing the exposure of my private life was a hard lesson, but it also taught me to be stronger and more resilient.The pressure and challenges continued to accumulate in our path. In addition to the difficulties faced in court and the attempts to undermine our relationship through the press, now we also had to deal with the king's advisers and ministers who disapproved of our relationship.Influential counselors and ministers were openly against our union, claiming that my origin as an influencer was not suitable for a future queen. They tried to convince the king that my past could tarnish the reputation of the royal family and undermine the stability of the kingdom.These intriguers had their own interests and goals, and were willing to do everything to keep us away. They
