Though he was sworn to remember his duty and not become entangled with the family, particularly the two sisters, he soon finds himself falling in love with Lucine Cantemir, the daughter of the family he is sworn to protect. But the fact of his love is kept secret from even her, for he is faithful to his duty. And that's when Vlad van Valerik comes onto the scene and starts courting Lucine.
