Summary of "The Nobility of Love": from July 13th to 18th

In "The Nobility of Love" the week will be marked by the audacious attempt to steal royal jewels and the great consequences that Jendal's clan faces. Dumi, Akin and Ladisa manage to get their hands on the treasure, but their escape goes wrong when Pascoal and the royal guard give chase, causing Ladisa to drop the key to the hiding place.

Suspecting that Princess Kênia had helped the rebels in the distraction, King Jendal himself punishes his daughter severely, locking her in a cell and, later, keeping her hostage in the castle. As the siege closes against the rebel group, Pascoal manages to capture Ladisa at the end of the week, raising tension in the kingdom.

After being unmasked by Lúcia/Alika's accusations and for having handed Father Viriato over to the bishop, the villain Virginia tries to manipulate her parents with a false hunger strike and even runs away to Graça's house.

However, Diógenes discovers his daughter's whereabouts and applies a humiliating punishment: forcing her to work on church tasks. Unable to contain her anger, Virgínia loses control and attacks Lúcia/Alika publicly, being restrained by her rival and forcing her own father to apologize for the young woman's scandals.

Amidst the conflicts, love gains space with Manoel's official dating request to Ana Maria and the revelation that Omar is about to arrive in Brazil to marry Alika.
