It all beggins in England, with a conversation between Sophie's parents, one of he main characters. A rich and noble family who were talking abou their daughter's future, about marriage. What they didn't realize was that their servant was listening to a part of the conversation, and her intention was to explain it to her friend the merchant. The merchant explained some things afterwards. She explained thet the son of a rich Spanish family was single. The parents of this ''unmarried son'' were talking too about marriage.
In England, the servant explained all that she had to Sophie. She felt happy.
Later, Sophie decided to send a letter to Alejandro, the Spanish parent's son. She suggested him to meet somewhere. A kinght had the responsibility to send the letter. It was addressed to Alejandro, but his father Fernando saw it first. When Alejandro saw the letter, he inmediately accepted, but what he didn't know was that his father was watching him. Both fell in love for the first time. Meanwhile, Alejandro's father, instructed the knight to follow and watvh them. Sophie was from England, a poorer kingdom than Spain. When Fernando discovered that, he didn't accept the relationship. In England, Sophie talked to her parents about Alejandro, and she proposed them to go to Spain and visit his family. They thought it was a good idea.
Weeks later, they arrived in Spain.
During the meeting, both families had a lot of discussions. But a servant interrupted the conversaations and said: ''you don't need money if you can still have love. Why don't you stop thinking about who's richier, and both start thinking about your children?''. Theere words changed Fernando's mind, and he accepted the wedding.
On the wedding day, everyone was nervous and happy. No one knew about Fernando's secret: he had prepared a poison to kill Sophie. He was a bad man. But he paid the consequences. Instead of Sophie, he drank the poison. His plan failed. But people thought that Philip, the father of Sophie, was the responsible, so unfortunately, they killed him. A fight started between both families.
But like it always happens, all ended fine.
