The Silent Cavalier

"The Silent Cavalier" tells the story of Jesus Maria, a young Flemish knight who follows a monk's cryptic prophecy across the sea to the volcanic island of Fayal in the Azores. There he falls hopelessly in love with a Portuguese settler's daughter named Ida — yet his sacred vow never to marry means he cannot speak a single word of his feelings. Torn between devotion and duty, he retreats to a hermit's hut at the foot of Mount Pico, carrying his secret to the grave, where a peach tree — the emblem of silence — grows from his tomb.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
