But he looks no more than thirty. He's very handsome-- so much you will admit; nor will you deny that he is very wealthy and very powerful; the greatest nobleman in Brittany. He will make me a great lady.'' God made you that, Aline.

Marie de France wrote, "But he looks no more than thirty. He's very handsome-- so much you will admit; nor will you deny that he is very wealthy and very powerful; the greatest nobleman in Brittany. He will make me a great lady.''God made you that, Aline. This is a sweet and innocent love story between the two girls: the noblewoman and the young shepherd boy.

Their relationship was pure, humble, and free from any kind of worldly desires. The girl was from a noble family from Brittany and fell in love with a young shepherd boy who served as the king's protector. When her family found out about her secret lover, they decided to arrange a marriage for her to a rich nobleman.

However, after meeting the boy she fell in love with, she remained faithful to him and refused to marry someone else. To prove her love for him she even chose to die by committing suicide rather than betraying his trust.
