Chapter 3 The Growing Connection and Royal Dilemma.

Weeks turned into days and Seraphina and Caelum continued to meet in the divided bay. They told each other their dreams and this led to the development of this relationship. Caelum described a curse that had plagued his family for generations a revile that had cursed each firstborn of Aquilon to lose their true love to the sea. He knows this revile ought to be his destiny as well and that amassing Seraphina was his cruel predestination.

Nevertheless, Seraphina, who is an assertive independent woman, would not really agree to the fact that their affection was doomed to failure. "The seas may be deep Caelum, yet love is deeper still" she intoned passionately "Together we shall shatter this curse".

Whenever affection started blossoming, whispers began to circulate around Eldoria about the Princess and her peculiar suitor. Lord Aldric, concerned for his girl, summoned her to the castle. "Tell me, little one, who is this man that has taken up so much of your affections," he inquired.

"He is Prince Caelum of Aquilon, Father," Seraphina said calmly, her grip tightening on the pearls.

Lord Aldric scowled, for he had heard of the scorn that plagued the imperial group of Aquilon. Anyway, upon observing the iron-willed girl in his sight, he comes to understand that his decision to ban the match would only serve to make her sad. "Good," he answered," however you should realize the evils also. Love is also a great force but the currents of determination are too.
