The Brat

( IN PORTUGUESE ) Todos os cavalheiros dos arredores já tinham ouvido falar sobre lady Murie, a afilhada e protegida do rei. Diziam que ela era bonita, possuidora de luminosos olhos azuis, cabelos dourados e o mais doce dos sorrisos. Diziam também que possuía o hábito de levantar a voz (leia-se gritar) e fazer escândalos (leia-se caprichos ou histeria) quando não cumpriam sua vontade (leia-se: desejos ou caprichos).
Um homem em apuros...
Até necessitando urgentemente de uma esposa, Balem tinha uma única certeza: Murie seria a última mulher que escolheria para casar-se...
Mas... Como a necessidade é herege... Mas... Como as aparências enganam...
Mas... Como cada um sabe onde lhe aperta o sapato...
Balem se armou de coragem e desposou à malcriada e caprichosa sobrinha do rei.
Dois homens a falta de um?
Mas Balem não era o único... Havia outro pretendente disputando o amor de Murie. E breve chegaria um momento crucial, em que seria revelado qual dos dois cavalheiros era digno de conquistar o coração puro daquela dama tão especial (leia-se malcriada, mimada, histérica, caprichosa, etc, etc...)


========================================

( IN ENGLISH ) Who would marry—all the knights had heard tales of Lady Murie, King Edward III's goddaughter and much feted favorite. It was said she was stunningly beautiful, with bright blue eyes, golden hair and a sweet smile. It was also said that the king had doted on the girl and spoiled her rotten. Despite his need, when Sir Balan saw her howling and sobbing, Murie was the last person he wanted to wed. The brat? But all that glitters is not gold, and sometimes diamonds look very, very rough. There was more to Murie than met the eye, and Balan soon learned that he'd be lucky indeed to deserve such a bride. Yet he was not the only one to discern the truth, and the other hopeful hubby was not quite as honorable. A plot was afoot. Soon would come a reckoning, a time to show who was chivalrous, who was a cad and who had won the love of a heart unspoiled.
