In the sweltering heat of summer, Alice's family traversed the rugged terrain with their cargo-laden carriage, a moving spectacle against the backdrop of medieval landscapes. The sun, unforgiving, cast its fiery glow upon the little family, as they ventured toward Pontevedra, a city steeped in history and secrets. The creaking cargo carriage carried their livelihood, and each jostle seemed to echo the uncertainty that clung to their nomadic existence.

As the wheels rolled and the landscape shifted, Alice gazed into the horizon, lost in thoughts of the towns they'd leave behind and the unknown that awaited in Pontevedra. Her father's weathered hands expertly guided the horses, while her older brother, a sturdy figure with a perpetually furrowed brow, assisted with the cargo.

Alice possesses a mane of blonde curls that cascade like sunlit waves, framing her face with a touch of warmth. Her eyes, as blue as ice, hold a captivating mystery. Standing at a moderate height, she carries herself with an elegant grace, adding an enchanting allure to her presence.

Her father, a seasoned merchant, guided the horses with weathered hands, while her older brother, a silent guardian, protected their precious cargo.

Meanwhile, within the stone walls of Wode castle, Peter, a bastard son born to nobility, reclined on opulent fabrics. His eyes, tinged with melancholy, stared at nothing in particular as he grappled with the weight of sudden responsibility. The journey of studying clerics had forged him, and now, as he mourned his half-brother's demise, the responsibilities of Viscount Ferdinand's heir loomed darkly over him. Though born into nobility, the title of 'bastard' had followed him like a shadow, a distinction that tainted his every achievement. Now, as the heir, he carried the burden of legacy and expectation.

In the medieval tapestry of innocent friendship, their paths unknowingly converged. Alice's nomadic heart clashed with Peter's noble burden, and in the pulsating city of Pontevedra, where whispers of romance whispered through cobblestone streets, the allure of forbidden desire beckoned.

As the caravan approached Pontevedra, the tension between these two souls reached its zenith, entangled in the threads of passion and societal expectations. In a world where love blossomed like wildflowers but withered under the scrutiny of feudal norms, the story of Alice and Peter unfolded—a tale of historical romance, mature desires, and an inevitable heartbreak ending.
