At first sight, by coincidence, both became enchanted with her, getting close, they start chatting with her and both had the chance to dance with her and enjoy the festival together. After that moment, both felt a deep love for her and each one already thought of a prosperous and happy future. However, Jefferson (the wisest) forestalled and the following day managed got get in touch with Andrea. As the meeting, Jefferson wooed her and declared his love for her. She reciprocated and so they started going out together. Sometime later, it was Wesley’s turn to get in touch with Andrea. But when they met he found out what he had feared most: His brother, Jefferson, had stolen her from him. This was the best chance for the dark night to act and transform Wesley’s feelings towards his dear brother: What was tenderness and love became pure hate. Encouraged by this feeling he planned a horrendous crime against his brother and at the right time carried it out, hoping that with the end of his brother Andrea would take him. That did not happen. Andrea became disconsolate and decided to move to the capital, disowning the traitor. As for Wesley, he was imprisoned, but even so the punishment wasn’t enough for killing of a person.
