I promise we won't be long.
All I need is two baskets of oranges and some mushrooms.
Mushrooms?
It won't be as easy as repairing a roof, but I think you can do it.
So, I'll get another basket... for the mushrooms.
Shh, easy there.
Hey!
Shh, shh.
Stop! STOP!
- Enough! - Amália!
Amália!
My daughter!
Stop!
My daughter!
Thank God!
Daughter.
It's alright, mom.
Daughter.
Come, you need to drink some water.
Afonso.
I need to thank you.
You saved my daughter's life.
Martinho, I know it's hard for you to believe...
And I understand it...
But I would give my own life to save Amália.
It's not easy for a father to trust anyone who approaches his daughter,
but now I'm sure.
You're not anyone.
It's as I say, Lucíola...
Only a fool to believe that this kind of spell could heal a...
Your Highness!
Marquis.
I don't understand.
You are...
Healed.
Fully healed.
And more ready than ever.
- But how? - Hunfer.
- Excuse me? - The healer.
Of course.
Hunfer is the last remnant of a tribe whose ancestors
have studied the cure of human diseases for centuries.
Be those diseases of the body. Or the spirit.
And there still those, my lady,
who think he is but a quack.
Excuse me, marquis.
What melodious voice is this, that awakens me?
From what haze does it emerge?
From the thresholds of eternity...
Exactly as we anticipated, Your Highness.
The people now have you as a hero.
I confess I didn't expect to receive such gratitude from people.
It's much more than gratitude. It's...
Admiration, pride. Hope.
The people recognize a born leader in Your Highness.
A legitimate heir of your grandmother's charisma and tenacity.
Yeah, that you know very well is what they think of Afonso.
Maybe, but on the other hand,
- where is he now? - Turning away from the people
- at this crucial moment is very serious. - Yes, indeed,
it wasn't a good time for him to leave from Montemor. But soon he'll be back.
But what is that?
Your Highness has an unfinished business with me.
Me?
Frankly, I have no idea what this man means by that.
No idea? As far as I know, a woman is capable of stealing a man's heart,
- but not his memory. - A woman?
I don't know who she is. Should I know her?
Yes, you could know her, but not with such intimacy.
But I will refresh Your Highness's memory...
She is an unfaithful woman.
My wife.
So, then...
The case here concerns marital infidelity?
Yes, Your Highness, but more serious than the infidelity of a spouse,
is the infidelity of a prince to his subjects.
I confess that I don't understand what's my role in your misfortunes.
But I advise you to take better care of your wife.
As long as Your Highness lets me take care of her alone.
- and don't mess with my life. - Hey! You shouldn't talk to the prince like that.
- Your Highness deserves respect. - If it wasn't him, my cousin'd have died in the mine.
This talk isn't over.
Any doubt that the people are on your side, Your Highness?
- Long live the prince! - Live the prince!
You need to be vigilant!
Be vigilant!
Because if that madman shows up again, I won't...
Your Highness!
Cássio.
The rescued miners wish to greet you.
Yes, of course. Send them in.
Guards.
Your Highness.
We're here to thank you for Your Highness's commitment to our rescue.
Ah...Hmmm...
I did what I should have done. It was nothing.
Saving our lives?
We'll never consider that it was nothing what Your Highness did for us and our families.
Yeah...
On second thought, it was... Amazing.
Amazing what I did. Amazing!
And to showcase our gratitude, Your Highness...
We have minted this beautiful gold coin with your magnificent effigy.
Wow.
What a beautiful gift.
It's a beautiful gift. Thank you.
Thank you, truly.
See that.
Doesn't my face looks great on a gold coin?
- Incredible. - How could it not be, Your Highness?
I'm beginning to think that this rescue deserves a celebration.
- A feast for the people. - No, a feast for me, obviously.
We can arrange something for tonight, Your Highness.
Yes, but I'd prefer something small.
Something intimate, for friends only... And lady friends, especially.
Arrange that.
- Friends... - And lady friends.
I have take care of the broth.
- Can you cut the parsley for me? - Sure.
I need to buy some meat urgently.
It's so hard to get.
God Save the King.
- Brumela? - Yeah?
Can you believe what they're saying?
Depends. They are saying all kinds of stuff.
What exactly are you talking about?
That prince Afonso went to Artena because of a woman.
I highly doubt that.
The prince always put the kingdom above all else.
Especially above personal matters.
In all these years I work here, I never saw him chase after women.
- It's not his style. - Yeah, anyway,
We'll only know the truth once he comes back.
Yeah.
Wh--? Where were you?
Setting up the dining room.
Petrônio showed up and said we could go home earlier today.
- How? Why? - 'Cause prince Rodolfo's throwing a party.
- In that case, we've a lot to do. - That's what I thought too.
But he said it was an intimate party.
For few guests.
Well...In that case, we can go home, right?
He probably wants more privacy.
Finish this.
Anyway, I'll stay longer and check the beer and the wine.
The party can be small, but the guests' thirst...
- Selena. - Ulisses.
- Are you going home? - I am.
I mean, I'll stop by the square first.
May I join you?
Sure.
The other day, you asked about the Academy.
You seem so excited. If you want, I can take you there.
Really?
I would love that, yes!
Funny, a woman interested in that.
Why funny?
- Something wrong? - No, not at all.
It's just that, I never met a woman interested in that before.
Is there a special reason for your interest?
When I was eight, I lived in Barda with my parents.
Barda?
It's a small village.
Quiet.
Far away from here.
But there was a war between two kingdoms.
We were right in the middle of their path.
One day, the invading army retreated, plundering everything in front of them.
And that included our house too, of course.
My dad tried to fight back.
Even alone, but...
What chance did he have?
I managed to hide.
But to this day, I remember hearing him fight and being unable to do anything.
Until it all went quiet.
And your mom?
My mom wasn't there.
When she came back, we went to live with an aunt I didn't know.
A few weeks later, my aunt said she went to another town and got sick.
Then...
Later I found out she died of the fever.
So I got on with my life.
Now I'm here.
What a story.
Yeah...
Not exactly a fairy tale.
Not that it explains my interest in military training....
But I don't know...
From that moment on, I feet like I need to learn to defend myself.
So I could protect the ones I love.
What about you?
Tell me about yourself.
About me...
Look, I think the most interesting thing in my life
was meeting someone with a story like yours.
So, it's all set for tomorrow?
Sure, I'll take you to the Academy tomorrow.
Okay. It's a deal.
See you tomorrow.
This boy deserves congratulations too, right?
Yeah, I confess I never saw him run like he did today.
Maybe he never had to run to save someone's life before.
Afonso, far from me to want to meddle in your lives...
but I can't not worry about my sister.
And now that you're back...
Amália is betting everything on this relationship.
She ended a long-term relationship. She stood up against our father.
And it's clear that something is bothering you.
- I don't know what you two talked, but... - Nothing.
Almost nothing, and it's my fault.
I've been trying to avoid this talk with Amália at all costs.
Tiago, it's very difficult for me.
Meeting Amália was the most important thing that ever happened to me.
And despite knowing I'll never find a woman like her again...
The truth is that we can't be together.
I can't stay in Artena.
Then maybe she can live with you in Montemor.
No. It's complicated.
I came back to tell her this.
I just can't do it.
I looked at her, and I forgot completely about who I was or why I came here.
It's not fair to make her believe that you came back to stay.
No, it's not.
And you can rest at ease.
I will do what has to be done.
That's an exaggeration.
You know how people like to tell stories.
Evidently I didn't build the hole. Or saved the miners alone.
To be honest, I had the help of one or two employees.
But that must've been very dangerous.
Yes.
Yes, it was very dangerous.
But when I thought about
those poor men suffocating inside the mine...
When I thought about their poor families suffering...
I couldn't help myself.
I couldn't, I had to dig the hole through the night.
And at dawn...
My hands...
My hands were in the flesh.
But let's talk about something else. Something
more interesting. Not more interesting than...
- Your Highness. - What?
I'd like to introduce a dear friend of mine, Ana.
A profound admirer of Your Highness, who desperately wishes to meet you.
Enchanted.
But from what garden did you pick such wonderful flower?
- Your Highness... - So, Ana, let's tour the castle?
But, first, let's drink some wine.
Because, as Euripides said,
without wine, there's no love.
Please, drink.
Grab a cup.
This is the best wine in all of Cália.
To the best Ana, in all of Cália.
A toast.
You!
I didn't like your face. Get out!
Didn't I tell you...
that we would tour the castle?
Not to brag, but my chambers...AHHHH!!
AHHHHHH!!!
What are you doing in my bed?!
How so? Your Highness invited me.
Don't you remember?
No, I don't. I don't remember inviting you to my small celebration.
Actually, I came by late.
Your Highness had drank a lot already.
But...
didn't Your Highness want to sleep with me?
No.
No, I didn't. Really.
Why?
What's wrong with me?
Your Highness doesn't like me?
I don't like your husband.
One more thing we have in common.
I don't understand.
You told him about us. You said you regretted it.
I was confused!
- I didn't know what to do. - Sorry, but you're still confused.
Yes, but...
I'm confused since you told me you loved me.
I said that?!
Easy, easy, easy there Belisa.
The thing is...I didn't know you were a married woman.
Then I won't be anymore.
I'll leave my husband.
I'll leave my whole life.
I leave everything to be with you.
Yes, yes, we've our whole lives ahead, but now
I have other matters to solve, then we talk about our future. But I order you...
Don't tell your husband that we were together.
No, I won't. No way.
He's crazy. Totally crazy, unhinged, very violent.
Very violent.
He forced me to go public.
To confess our love.
Goodbye. Exit is that way.
Your Highness, goodbye. See you soon.
Know that I'll suffer for each moment we're apart.
Me too, me too. Goodbye, goodbye.
- Goodbye, goodbye. - Goodbye.
But what the hell!
I need to get rid of this madwoman once and for all.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
But starting your rule besides a commoner...
That would be...
- Highly unadvisable. - I'm well aware of the consequences, Cássio.
And believe me...
I'm willing to face them.
I can't stay in Artena.
Then maybe she can live with you in Montemor.
No. It's complicated.
I came back to tell her this.
I just can't do it.
- But, Your Highness... - I need to put an end to this.
Or I'll go mad.
Your Highness intends to tell her the whole truth?
You know it all happened very fast between us.
Fast?
It doesn't matter if it's fast or not, Afonso.
It's no measure for anything.
Especially for how we feel for each other.
Good morning.
- Good morning, Mrs. Glória! - Good morning.
Betânia, did Ulisses talk to you?
- About...? - About him and Selena.
What about it?
Yesterday I saw them together in town.
So...?
So that I think they might be dating.
I think not.
Why not?
- 'Cause he didn't tell me anything. - Maybe he will.
Yeah. Maybe.
Betânia, it's hard to talk to you like this.
Why hard? I didn't say anything.
You never say anything. It's like you aren't even worried.
Worried about what?
- Ulisses, obviously. - With Ulisses?
What's wrong with him?
Nothing.
But he's 20 already and he never dated anyone.
- One day, he will. - Yeah, yeah.
I hope so. I hope it's Selena.
Relax, Romero.
If it's not Selena, it'll be someone else.
Someone else, you mean, another girl, right?
Yes, why?
Nothing.
In his age, I had a bunch of girlfriends.
Hahaha. Is that so?
Right.
It's just that I had never seen him with a girl until last night.
Yeah, but he's different from you.
Fine. I just hope he isn't that different.
What do you mean by that?
Nothing, I don't mean anything. Forget it.
Dad.
I want to ask you something, but it's okay if the answer is no.
- Go ahead, son. It's that Selena, who works with mom in the castle,
- Selena? - Selena, the girl from the castle...
She'd love to see the Academy.
Would there be any problem if I took her there?
No, no problem, son.
You can take her there whenever you want.
It's okay. Take her.
I thought I had made myself clear,
when I said you were dismissed of your duties, sir.
I didn't come here to advise you, Your Highness.
But to warn you.
And in regards to what, do you wish to warn me, sir?
Some threat of war that I'm unaware of?
Some epidemic that spreads through town?
Warn you of the dangers of your own actions.
How dare you.
Your Highness has every right to not want to marry the Marquis,
has every right to contest your father's words,
even has every right to...
want to love another man.
But you didn't have the right
to try to stop saving his life.
I don't understand what you wish to say.
The kingdom's doctor prescribed a tea to the Marquis.
A tea that was never given to him.
The same doctor was dismissed...
in the moment the Marquis most needed his help.
I believe there are less...
drastic ways to break an engagement, Your Highness.
Your accusations are very serious.
Not as serious as your actions.
That in no way concern you.
Let it be clear that my concern is not for Your Highness.
But for the kingdom.
Everything that concerns Artena is of my concern.
And it'll always have my complete attention.
It's a bit heavier than I expected.
But, with time, it'll become lighter.
Like this?
To be easier, we hold it with both hands like this.
Got it?
It's Ulisses friend.
I mean...
I think it's more than a friend.
This is the hilt, and here is...
I don't care how that woman, Belisa, ended up at my party.
She is forbidden to participate in any castle event, or
to put her feet here, for any reason whatsoever. Do you understand me?
Perfectly, Your Highness. I'll tell the guards.
Just to be clear, it was Your Highness, who
invited young Belisa to your bedchambers last night.
No, it's not possible I did such stupidity.
Actually, Your Highness invited her after stepping down from the table.
From the table?
What was I doing on the table?
Err, dancing, Your Highness.
- Dancing? - Yes.
But only for a moment, nothing much.
Right after, Your Highness came down.
- Put your clothes on... - Enough.
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
Your Highness. Excuse me.
What's the royal painter doing here?
I believe he came to retouch prince Afonso's portrait,
since he needs to wait his return to continue working.
Oh.
He's already painting Afonso's portrait.
Actually, Your Highness...
It's been slow-coming due to prince Afonso's unavailability,
- but as soon as... - But why Afonso and not me?
Why?
Because prince Afonso'll be crowned soon.
And in his coronation, he needs to have an official portrait presented to all.
Yes, but I'm a Monferrato too. I deserve to be portrayed.
Don't I?
Well, if it's your wish, Your Highness,
- we can start on your portrait as soon... - Great. Let's do it immediately.
Perfect. Perfect.
Like this. Yes, there. Perfect.
- Perfect. - Oh, painter!
Before you start, I'd like you to portray my shoulders a bit larger.
Yes, as you wish, Your Highness.
And my jaw should be more prominent too.
- Absolutely. - Oh!
A twinkle in the eyes would also be desirable.
Certainly, Your Highness.
- Thank you. - Well...let's go.
Once more.
Excuse me.
Mom, Afonso didn't show up at the market today, do you know if...
He's outside, daughter.
Since I came back, I've been delaying this conversation.
I knew it.
Since you left, I knew something was wrong.
And at that moment, I knew you were leaving forever.
But I didn't want to admit it to anyone.
Not even to myself.
I really do need to return to Montemor.
The truth is that you never considered staying in Artena.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
Staying in Artena was never an option for me.
Why did you come back?
Say it!
After all, what are you doing here?
I tried to justify coming back in so many ways.
I came back because I owed you an explanation, Amália.
I came back because I... I had to put an end to our story.
And I had promised I'd return.
But the truth is that none of this matters anymore.
The truth is that I came back because I love you.
Amália...
I want you to marry me.
And now, where are we going?
To my home.
