So this break thing

Ok ... So the break. Well this is kind of hard to explain without the whole flashback section that Talia (Rose's mother) gives, but I will try. *sigh*

So I bet those of you who have voted in the poll thought that the 3rd option of just giving up your true love is absolutely heartless ... well that's basically what Rose decided that she had to do.

I guess looking at it the whole break started years before Rose and Alex were even born:

Rose's mother (Talia) was crown princess of Serinious (the kingdom of the elves), her parents had wanted her to marry the prince of Teristalia (Alex's kingdom)(Alex's' father). Rose's father had been Alex's' fathers best friend as well as his personal guard so he and Talia saw a lot of each other.

Now Rose's father had fallen in love with Talia basically at first sight, and to be completely honest so did she, Talia actually really disliked Alex's' father; the only reason that she stayed was because the princes guard interested her.

Well one dark and stormy night Rose's father pretty much abducted Talia and ran away to a small town on the boarder of Teristalia (the town that Rose and family lived in). He was actually rather shocked when he found out that Talia was just fine with being abducted and more than happy to be around him.

They were soon married (in secret of course because not only was Alex's' father (who was king by this point) looking for them but many elves were upset that their princess was missing and wanted her back safely in the kingdom)

Now here is the problem the King (Alex's' father) did not wait to find out the whole story when he finally tracked them down. He basically sent a letter of challenge telling Rose's father that he would be coming in three days to kill him and set Talia free.

Rose's father, not wanting to put Talia and his daughters in danger told them to go out for a picnic the day that the king was coming, and they did (Talia did not foresee the danger).

When Alex's' father came Rose's father was in the apple orchard waiting patiently, he died happily knowing that he protected his wife and daughters.

When Talia and the girls returned Lina and Katrina went to get their father and found him dead the sword still piercing his heart. They went right to their mother who removed the sward and read the inscription on the blade: a note from the King telling her that she was now free.
*side note: This is when Lina and Katrina found out that they were both royalty

Now back to Rose and Alex's time period:
Rose is finally informed of how her father died. She become furious, her family had always been the most important thing in her life and her fathers death was still one of the most tragic things that had ever happened to her (it was a blow from which she still had not recovered).

Now Rose had assumed that Alex had known nothing and was not going to hold the actions of his father against him until she was talking to him about her father. (important to note: When Alex's' father realized who Rose was (a.k.a Princess of Serinious) he had told her what he had believed to be the truth: that Talia had been raped a multitude of times, which is how her daughters had been conceived) Alex had told Rose during that her father had deserved to be killed thinking that his father had told him everything about Talia's' disappearance.

Rose became so angry that she stormed off back to Serinious and basically declared war on Teristalia.
