Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

139 Sincere words For the rest of the day Maya was ignoring Cassian, he wondered if he had done something to offend her since she seemed distant.

He always looked for her, but she always made excuses saying that she had things to do.

At meals he barely saw her and when he went to her room at night she said that she was tired and that they would talk about it later.

following.

Cassian just got back to his room, he was pacing back and forth trying to remember what he had done to make Maya avoid him.

Someone knocked on his door, he thought it was Maya and rushed to open the door, but was disappointed to see that it was Alessandro.

_Ah, it's you.

_You were expecting someone else.

_No, come in.

Alessandro entered and closed the door behind him.

_Tomorrow is the appointment ceremony, how are you? _Nervous, I haven't attended a social event for a long time.

_I know, that's why I came to keep you company.

_You shouldn't be keeping Abril company, this will be her first social event, she must be very nervous.

_More than nervous, I would say she is excited, very excited.

_You won't be able to sleep then.

_Actually he's already asleep, he's broken another seal.

_ But is it okay? _Yes, I think they don't affect him like they used to.

_ But why do you seem worried? _Abril is anxiously awaiting the ball, I don't think it will be as she dreams, all the nobles' eyes will be on her, malicious and resentful looks.

_ Are you afraid she'll get hurt? _The nobles are cruel, they feel too much hatred for King Venobich and I know it is the same hatred they feel for April.

_That's true, it might not be a good idea for him to make an appearance during the appointment ceremony.

_But I don't want to hide her, I want everyone to recognize her as my queen.

_I didn't say that either, I just think that his entrance should be more dramatic, avoid the ceremony and appear during the dance, you want her to be recognized as your queen before all the nobility right.

_Yeah.

_So I have an idea for everyone to bow down to.

_I'll listen to you then.

April had been a week since she had managed to break another of the seals that They contained her magic, since then her mother had taught her a lot about her magic, how to manipulate it and how to attack if necessary, she still had a little trouble controlling it, but she wasn't so bad.

After each thing her mother taught her she always told her.

_Remember April, you must not show your power, you must always hide it.

Those words had become like a spell that April had to repeat every day.

_I must not show my power, I must hide it from others.

As she finished her training that night, Sophia caressed her daughter's cheek, gave her a sweet look and said.

_I think you're ready to break another seal.

_ Do you really think I'm ready? _Yes, you have become strong and that is even though your power has not fully awakened, April, you are very powerful, your magic has no limit, but that makes you dangerous, many will see you as their enemy, Your path will not be easy, that is why I want to prepare you because there will come a time when I will not be able to help you, when you will have to walk alone.

_ Will you leave? _Actually I shouldn't be here anymore, I died a long time ago, but I couldn't leave completely because I didn't want to leave you alone, I wanted to protect my little one, but when the last seal is broken I...

April couldn't hear the last thing her mother said as one of the maids shook her shoulder, waking her up.

_Your Majesty, you must wake up today is the dance, there are many things to prepare.

_ What time is it? _It's almost noon.

April jumped out of bed like crazy and told them.

_ Why didn't you wake me up earlier? The naming ceremony is at noon.

The maids looked at each other, none of them daring to say that the king had said that she would not attend the appointment ceremony.

At that moment the door opened.

door, it was the king who was wearing a white suit with gold decorations and carrying a red cape on his shoulders, April had only seen Alessandro wear formal clothes the day she had met him, on her wedding day, she was very surprised to see him, captivated by how handsome her husband was.

_You can leave now.

Alessandro ordered the maids, when they were alone Alessandro approached Abril, she told him.

_You look very handsome.

_Thank you.

_I fell asleep, I'll ask the maids to get me ready quickly.

Alessandro put his hands on Abril's shoulders and said to her.

_Hang on a minute.

_It's late, if I don't hurry I won't be ready on time.

_That's exactly what I came to tell you.

_ What's happening? _I don't want you to be at Cassian's naming ceremony.

_ Why not? _I don't want the nobles to see you before the ball.

Many negative thoughts came to April's mind, she asked.

_ Are you ashamed of me? Alessandro took her face in his hands and with a firm look he answered her.

_Never.

_I just don't understand, until yesterday you agreed that I should attend.

_During the appointment ceremony only high-ranking nobles usually attend, when you make your first social appearance, I want all the nobles to be present, I want everyone to be left with their mouths open when they see you, that's why I decided that it's best to wait until the ball, so that all of them know that you are my wife and my beloved queen.

_OK.

Alessandro, seeing Abril so downcast, said to her.

_Aby, I know you were looking forward to this, but I want to make it very clear that they must respect you and this is the best way to do it, do you trust me? April couldn't hide her clear disappointment, but she trusted Alessandro so she answered.

_Yes, I trust you, let's do things as you say.

Alessandro explained to Abril the plan they had drawn up with Cassian, then he gave her a kiss and told her.

_Thank you for trusting me.

_I always will, I put my faith in your hands.

Alessandro, upon hearing the firm words loaded with sincerity, felt bad since at first he had thought of using her as a weapon, something he had never told her.
