Tell us a story

It was late and a loving mother and father was tucking their children into bed.
"Tell us a story" demands a child.
"Yes" the others cry.
"One with heroes",
"No, one with knights",
"One about princesses",
"Tell us a love story".
"Yes, tell us a love story."
"Alright" says the mother, "We'll tell you a love story." The mother turns and gives the father a look and a nod. With a smile he begins.

This is a love story. A very strange love story. One that takes place over centuries. In quaint french villages to ancient cities. It involves handcuffs, a lot of nuns, a kidnapping, some over protective fathers, and a war without end. 
This story starts with a birth. A baby that was never supposed to be born. A decision to hide her.
