Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

109 I do n't want to lose my dear friend When dinner time came, Alessandro went to the dining room, but he was very surprised to see that there was no one there.

He knew that perhaps Cassian would not return that day since he had gone to Kover's territory to see the lands he would be receiving when he became duke, but April always had all her meals in the dining room, even if she was alone, the only times she didn't do it was when she was unwell.

_ Where is my wife? _She is in her room.

_Have you gone to rest so early? _Actually she hasn't left her room all day, she said she was still tired from the trip.

Alessandro went straight to Abril's room, when he entered and saw that she was in bed sleeping he became worried, he approached, sat on the edge of the bed and with his voice full of concern he asked her.

_Aby, are you okay? April woke up hearing Alessandro's voice, when she opened her eyes he caressed her cheek.

_ Are you OK? _Yes, I'm just a little tired.

_The maids said you've been staying in your room all day, are you sure you're okay? _Actually last night I dreamed about my mother, she is teaching me to control my magic, although I only do it in my dreams it makes me feel exhausted.

_Maybe Sirius should be the one to teach you how to control your magic, then you wouldn't be so exhausted.

_I don't know, I'll tell my mother.

_Don't put so much pressure on yourself, I don't like seeing you so exhausted.

_OK.

_You must be hungry, I'll ask for dinner to be brought to our room.

_Yes, that sounds good to me.

Alessandro called the maids, they were quick to serve dinner, Alessandro helped Abril get out of bed and arrived to the table, despite being exhausted, April did not seem to have lost her appetite.

Alessandro laughed as he watched her eat with such appetite.

_ What's happening? _I was worried about you, but seeing you eating so well makes me think you're okay.

_I'm fine, I just feel very sleepy.

Koda approached Abril, she gave him some chicken, Alessandro asked her.

_This furball has been with you all day.

_Yes, Koda likes to sleep next to me, will you be busy tomorrow? _Yes, there are still many things I have pending since I was away for some time, by the way, we will have a dance soon.

Hearing that there would soon be a ball at the palace, April's eyes lit up.

_ Really? Cassian will be given the title of duke and we will have a ball to celebrate.

_ Duke?, but Cassian is a prince.

_Yes, but to avoid divisions, the princes renounce their title, take that of duke and swear loyalty to the royal family.

_So it's just a formality.

_Let's say yes, although Cassian will have to leave the palace and take control of the lands that will be given to him when he becomes duke.

_So Cassian will leave the palace.

Alessandro, seeing a shadow of sadness on Abril's face, asked her.

_ You don't want Cassian to leave? _He is my dear friend, I wouldn't want to lose him.

_You won't do it, even if he is far away he will still be your friend.

_This place will be lonely without him.

_ I will be here for you, I will not let you feel alone.

After finishing dinner, April gave a long yawn.

Even though she had been sleeping all day, she felt like she hadn't been able to sleep for days.

Her eyelids felt heavy and she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep.

_ Are you still sleepy? _Yes, I think I'd better go to sleep.

That's a good idea, I'm tired too, I've had a pretty busy day today.

Alessandro took Abril in his arms, carried her to the bed, gently placed her down and said to her.

_I'll ask them to pick up all this so we can sleep.

Alessandro called the maids who were waiting outside the room, after they cleared the table and left, he lay down next to her, put his arms around her and began to caress her hair without saying a word, April stared at him for a moment, he said to her.

_If you don't close your eyes I doubt you'll be able to sleep.

_It's just that I would like to keep seeing you, we haven't been together for very long today, I would like to see your face a little more.

April yawned, it was obvious she was fighting sleep so she wouldn't fall asleep, he caressed her soft cheeks and said.

_You don't have to fight with sleep.

_But when I wake up you won't be there anymore.

_Don't worry, I'll be here by your side, when you open your eyes it will be the first thing you'll see.

Alessandro covered Abril's eyes with his hand, forcing her to close them.

_But.

_Go to sleep, you need it so that your magic can recover and your body stops being so tired.

_Using magic is always so exhausting.

_No, that only happens when you don't know how to control it since you let your magic escape without control, when you learn to control it, you won't feel tired.

_I hope so, I want to stop being so weak and be able to help you, to give back a little of the much that you give me.

April said before falling asleep.

Alessandro kissed her on the forehead and said.

_You don't need to give me anything back, seeing you happy is enough for me, my beloved Aby, I just want you to be happy.
