Robert, being the nobleman he is, steps in to help her. This act of heroism makes the OC see him in a new light, and they start to fall for each other. But then, they have to deal with the fact that their relationship might not be accepted by everyone in the Abbey.

Their relationship might develop slowly as they get to know each other's personalities and interests. Maybe they share a love for horses, and that becomes a common ground for them.
