Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

35 I don't know when I fell in love Alessandro deeply regretted how he had been treating the princess, she had had a life full of hardships, and by marrying him that had not changed, but had continued.

Alessandro asked Abril to leave the bathroom to finish bathing, when he came out he found her trying to take off the dress she was wearing, he approached her, helped her take it off and said to her.

_ What are you doing? _Changing clothes.

_I see that, but why haven't you called one of the maids to help you? _I don't like to depend on another person for everything.

_Even so, your wound hasn't healed, don't do it on your own.

April was left in just the light, short dress she was wearing underneath.

Alessandro lowered his hands to the hem of the dress, his hands touched her bare skin, April blushed, he told her.

_Now you're ashamed of me seeing you naked, wasn't it you who told me a while ago to be proud of my body? _I don't mind if your majesty sees me, but if you touch me, it's shameful.

_You are very strange princess.

_April.

_ That? _My name is April.

_I already know that.

_I thought you didn't know since your majesty always calls me princess.

_You don't call me by my name either, even though I've asked you to.

_It's not the same.

_In my opinion it is, if you don't want me to call you princess then don't call me your majesty, I will call you by your name if you do the same.

_He promises.

_Yes, I promise.

_Okay, Alessandro.

_April.

_Yeah.

_I'm just saying your name, you don't have to answer.

Alessandro said while laughing.

April felt embarrassed, her face turned red, in Alessandro's eyes she looked adorable, he surrounded her waist and placed his hand behind her neck, his lips lowered and joined hers in a kiss, his lips were warm, sweet and tender, he gave small kisses at first and deepened his kiss, exploring her mouth with his tongue, sucking her lips and giving them a small bite as if he wanted to eat them, that kiss was too much for April, she felt her legs weak and without energy, she felt her lips soft and

soft ...

strength, she felt that she would fall if she did not hold on, she clung to the robe Alessandro was wearing and with a broken voice she cried out his name as a plea for him to stop.

_Alessandro.

But that didn't make him stop, on the contrary, it made her want more, the hand he had on her waist began to slowly descend down her hips to her butt, April didn't feel comfortable with that kind of caresses and said.

_Alessandro, please stop.

Alessandro stopped because Abril's voice was shaking, apparently he was scaring her, he moved away from her because if he didn't he would end up losing control and he said to her.

_I'm hot, I'm going to take another bath, finish changing.

Alessandro had let himself go, forgetting that April had not yet recovered, they could not go beyond kisses, but for a moment he wanted it, he wanted to be able to touch her body, feel her skin, her sweet voice moaning with pleasure.

Alessandro wondered at what point he had started having those thoughts.

He He stayed in the bathtub for a while until he could calm his fever, when he returned to the room Abril was already in bed, she was awake but pretended to be asleep, for Alessandro it was obvious that she was pretending, however, he didn't say anything, he lay down next to her and turned off the lights, he thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, however it wasn't like that, she fell asleep quickly, that always happened to him when he was with Abril.

The next day he woke up first, went to train with the soldiers until he was exhausted, and then returned to his office to continue his work.

During the afternoon Alessandro saw April walking through the garden, but that day she was not alone, Cassian was accompanying her, while they walked she smiled at Cassian, for some reason that bothered him, it made him feel uncomfortable, he closed the curtains and got to work, but it was impossible for him to concentrate.

When night fell, Alessandro went to the dining room.

He had arranged to have dinner with his brother.

When he got to the dining room, he saw Abril sitting next to Cassian.

He was telling her something that made her laugh.

Alessandro couldn't hear what it was.

At that moment, Alessandro realized that Abril laughed more when she was with Cassian than with him.

This made him have mixed feelings towards his brother.

When Cassian saw his brother arrive he said to him.

_I told the princess that she could have dinner with us, no problem, right? _No, in fact, you can have dinner with us if you want, April.

_Thanks Alessandro.

Cassian noticed that they had both started calling each other by their names, he wondered since when the two had become so close.

When dinner was over Alessandro helped Abril up and asked her.

_ How is your wound? Did it hurt? _No, today I walked slowly and sat down to rest several times, but on a bench, I didn't sit on the floor, I'm fine, the doctor also came and said that I'm fine, that soon I'll be able to return to my normal life, although I can't use force.

_That's great, you'll soon be able to continue with your magic classes.

Alessandro said goodbye to his brother and as they walked he continued talking to Abril.

_ Do I really have to continue with my magic classes? _Yeah.

_But it's useless.

_We've talked about this several times, April.

_I know, but.

_Then let's leave it at that.

As they watched them leave Cassian felt uncomfortable.

A few months ago he was the closest to the princess, he was the one who understood her the most, but at some point that had changed and his brother had taken his place.

He laughed as he realized his thoughts, in reality that had always been his brother's place since he was her husband.

Cassian had not been aware of his feelings until that moment, he liked the princess, and it was not a like between friends, but a romantic like, he did not know how, or when, but he had fallen in love with April.

Cassian clenched his hands into a fist, she was the first woman he had fallen in love with, but it was impossible, she was his brother's wife.
