At the gatherings between kingdoms, you and Romeo de Palencia had always met in private to engage in the romantic affair you had together.

He was the Prince of Portugal, and you, the Princess of Spain, yet you both could not be together publicly. How could you be? Fraternizing before marriage was heavily frowned upon.

But the day you heard you would be married to Romeo's brother was not a happy one.

The celebration of the engagement had been held at the Portoguese castle over dinner. The entirity of the meal was spent with Romeo glaring at you from across the table.

Yet when he finally caught you alone in the gardens, he could not hold back his annoyance.

"Mine own brethren? Thee cannot beest s'rious." He scolds from behind, making his presence known to you.
