The carefully planned meetings between Giovanna and I unfolded exactly as I expected, but now I question my true motivations behind such manipulations. Am I acting according to my true desires or just following the expectations imposed on me?I remember the troubled relationship I had with my father, the king. Henrik has always been a powerful and dominant man, whose steps were followed throughout the kingdom.

In each meeting, the connection between us is strengthened, and I realize that I am willing to face any challenge to be with Giovanna. Our love is a fire that burns inside us, and I am determined to protect and nourish it.As the days go by, the attraction between Giovanna and me intensifies. Each meeting is full of emotion and expectation, and I find myself longing for moments alone with her. Nicolau's presence continues to be a constant comfort, and I share with him the evolution of my feelings for Giovanna.One day, while the ship sails gently across the ocean, I meet Nicolau on deck. We watch the sunset together, our minds immersed in deep thoughts."Nicolau, my friend, every time I'm with Giovanna, I feel a connection that transcends words," I confess, my voice full of admiration.

I can no longer ignore the fire that burns inside me, the desire to find happiness next to Giovanna. I am willing to face the consequences and fight for this true love, even if it means challenging my father and all the traditions that surround us."Nicolau looks at me, his eyes overflowing with admiration and concern.
