What kind or romanticism do you think that our church and some people will think about?

What is romanticism?

What do you want to die for?

You want to die for love right?

Tell me; what is your romanticism?

Romance means that you'll give up everything for the sake of love.

Thats what romance is all about.

It doesn't matter if romance is momentary? If it overwhelms you, it will last forever.

It has consequences, serious consequences.

What are you willing to throw the rest of your life away for; for the sake of love.

Thats pretty serious isn't it?

So, having put that aside, let's say that you only had two choices: to be a prince or to be a warrior. Which would you choose?

What is a prince?

In European culture there a lot more aristocrats. Maybe you need to hold on to something.
