Originally planned that part of the cast would be sent to Europe to begin principal photography, the Globo management judged that, with the inflated high value of the euro, together with all the expenses that come with it in all the sectors in Brazil, it would exceed the estimated budget. Only the recording and effects team was sent out of the country to capture aerial scenes of the woods and mountains to be superimposed on scenes recorded in the
Projac studios in Brazil.
In March 2017, the recording crew traveled to Spain, Scotland and Iceland to capture the external scenes, as in ancient castles and historically preserved villages.
The scenographic city was set up in the Globo Studios, in Rio de Janeiro, with a total of 1,8 thousand square meters.
Scenes that were supposed to look external were actually filmed by

Afonso (Rômulo Estrela) is the crown prince of Montemor and, from childhood, was raised to assume the throne; honoured and fair, he is the opposite of his younger brother—the irresponsible and inconsequential Rodolfo (Johnny Massaro), who only thinks about stewardship. After falling in love with a plebeian from Artena named Amália (
