Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

119 Even if it's not by my side Alessandro and Cassian were returning to the main palace, as they did so Cassian said.

_I'll talk to the butler so he can bring them food and I'll also put some guards to watch them.

_Tell the guards to keep watch from the shadows, I don't want them to see them, they should only intervene if they leave the cabin and head to the main palace.

_I will do so.

_You were right.

_ What? _We don't know anything about the darkness, they have told us more than we could have found out on our own and above all they said something that would help us face the darkness.

_You speak of the blessing of light.

_That's right, April doesn't have to be on the battlefield to help us defeat the darkness, she just has to bless our weapons.

_But to do that you need a lot of magic power, his magic is still sealed.

_He said that his mother is teaching him to control his magic, but I think it would be best to bring Sirius and have him teach him to control his magic, we can't wait that long, we don't know when King Venobich will start to move.

_You're right, that will be for the best.

Upon reaching the main palace they separated, Cassian went to look for the butler and the guards who would be watching the elves and Alessandro returned to the dining room where April was waiting for him for dinner.

They were talking and laughing, it was the first time Alessandro saw Abril chatting so happily with someone her age, at that moment he realized that she didn't really have any friends, that when he or Cassian weren't there she was always alone.

Abril smiled when she saw him and asked.

_Cassian hasn't come.

_He has something to do, he said he would have dinner in his room.

Maya felt like she was out of place there, so she got up.

_Maybe it would be best for me to go too.

_You don't have to do that.

Alessandro replied.

_You can have dinner with us, dinner will be served in a moment.

Maya was very hungry so she didn't insist on leaving, she sat back down, Alessandro motioned with his hand for dinner to be served, a few minutes later the maids served it.

Abril continued talking to Maya for the rest of dinner, when she finished eating Maya left, Alessandro ordered her bath to be prepared and told Abril.

_You can go ahead, I'll be there soon.

_You still have work to do.

_It will be something quick, it won't take long.

_Alright.

April left with a few maids and Alessandro went to his office, he took out a sphere that they used to communicate with Sirius when it was an emergency since it worked with magic and consumed too much, whenever he used it his magic was considerably reduced, everything depended on how long the conversation was, so it was short and concise.

_Sirius, come here immediately, Sirus knew it had to be urgent since Alessandro had used the magic sphere to communicate with him, so he used a teleportation scroll and arrived in a few seconds.

_ What's happening? _I have two elves in my palace.

_ Two elves? _They followed Cassian, they want to help in the war.

_That's good, isn't it? _Yes and no, I'm worried that they're so close to April, but we need them, they know how to fight the darkness.

_ And why did you call me? _I need you to teach April to control her magic, we need her to bless the weapons we will use during the war.

_To bless a weapon, a great amount of magic and the knowledge to control it are required.

_And that's why I called you, April said that her magic has several seals that block her magic, I need those seals to be broken.

_I will do everything in my power.

_Stay at the palace tonight, I want you to start tomorrow.

_As your majesty commands.

Alessandro returned to his room, April had already finished taking her bath, she was wrapped in a robe while one of the maids combed her hair.

_You're back.

Alessandro approached Abril, the maid had already finished combing Abril's hair and left them alone.

Alessandro caressed her hair, his fingers ran down her neck, slipping inside her robe he asked her.

_ Are you tired? April wondered why Alessandro was asking that question, with flushed cheeks she replied.

_No not at all.

Alessandro's lips rested on her neck as his hands aimlessly drifted down inside her robe.

A moan escaped from Abril's lips.

He turned the chair around, picked Abril up in his arms and carried her to the bed.

He gently placed her down and captured her lips.

They both joined in a deep, soft kiss.

Their kiss intensified and became more violent, more anxious.

As they separated their mouths, she asked him with labored breathing.

_ What's wrong Lessan? _You know I love you, right? April ran a hand through her short brown hair and answered.

_If I know, will you tell me why you are so anxious? _It's just that sometimes I'm really afraid of losing you.

_You're not going to lose me.

Alessandro hugged her without saying a word, she hugged him back, being so close she could feel his breathing, his warm breath caressing her neck.

_I love you Lessan, I love you, I will always be by your side, you will not lose me.

**** Cassian lay down on the bed with his arms behind his head, staring at the ceiling.

He was very worried, his mind was shaking like a nervous tangle thinking about what would happen and he couldn't sleep, although he had told Alessandro that they should think about the kingdom and its people above all else, that wasn't what he felt, he wanted to protect April, he just wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't by his side.

After tossing and turning in bed, Cassian went out onto the balcony.

That night the moon was shining brightly.

He stared at it for a moment until he heard the sound of a door opening.

He turned his head and saw Maya.

She was wearing a light white nightgown that fluttered in the warm night breeze.

_ What are you doing here? _It's very hot and I felt suffocated, I wanted to go out to get some air to cool off, and you? _I think the same.
