Romano and Julia

Here's a short story for you:

Julia wasn't the prettiest woman in the land. In fact, she was quite plain. Neither could she afford the finer like other women, as she had come from a poor family that worked hard for what little they did have. However, like so many young women, Prince Romano caught her eye. She'd watch him as he rode his white steed through the streets of Verona. As was his custom, the Prince would often visit the homes of the people living there. These visits were meant to both encourage the people under his fathers rule and also to build good relations between the civilians and the monarchy.

On one such day, Prince Romano came knocking on the door of Julia. She was embarrassed by her looks and dull frock but she welcomed him into her modest home and bade him to have a seat. She offered him herbal tea and he thanked her. As they spoke to one another the Prince noticed that he was more relaxed there than he had been in any other home. Julia also had and enthralling smile and a glint in her eyes.

You see, Julia always thought it important to maintain a calming atmoscented candles sphere in her home, and put her best foot forward when entertaining company, no matter whom the visitor. She kept herbs in pots growing in the home and lit scented candles throughout, to bring the natural scents of nature inside.

Prince Romano took to visiting her often and they soon fell in love and married. What is the moral of this story? To win over your love interest, calm them and let your inner self come through.
