  Little does he suspect, however, the violent passions that his pretence betrothal provokes.
   
  When there is a diabolical attempt on his life by his jealous younger brother, Lord Julius and a band of cutthroats, it is the innocent Udela who bravely saves his life.
   
  And to whom he finally loses his heart and she is carried to the stars when he kisses her for the first time.
