Definition of Romance

I guess i should have started out my reasearch with this but better late then never right?

Romance
a. A long medieval narrative in prose or verse that tells of the adventures and heroic exploits of chivalric heroes: an Arthurian romance.
b. A long fictitious tale of heroes and extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant time or place.
c. An artistic work, such as a novel, story, or film, that deals with sexual love, especially in an idealized form.
 
 For my story I will be combining elements of all three of these definitions. The story will take place in medieval times, tell of mysterious events and will deal with idealized, sexual love. Although there isn't a graphic love scene in my story, it is implied and is a major point to the story. I think my main goal is to make sure that the romance is key to the plot, and isn't just pointless fan service. It's always more satisfying when the romance is integral to the plot and not just slapped on as an afterthought.
