Chapter 38
38 Words that are not forgotten Cassian didn't want to be just her friend, but he knew that he couldn't be anything else, they could only be friends since she was his brother's wife.
Alessandro returned shortly after and asked his brother.
_ How are you feeling? _I'm fine.
_Sure.
_Yes, I've already gotten over it.
Cassian stood up, Alessandro told him.
_ Are you sure you don't want to stay and rest a little longer? _It's not necessary brother, just resting for a moment is enough.
Cassian walked past his brother and said.
_I'm telling you the truth, I'm fine, don't worry.
Cassian walked towards the door, before leaving he told them.
_Good night.
And he left the room, as he closed the door he leaned against a nearby wall, the pain in his leg had disappeared, but not the one he felt in his heart, that could not disappear with the princess's magic.
At that moment he wished he hadn't realized his feelings, as that only caused him pain.
But he couldn't tell his brother what he felt and he couldn't ask his brother to give him the princess either, because even if Alessandro didn't admit it, he also had feelings for the princess, Cassian had already realized that, without realizing it, the princess had become someone important to his brother.
Cassian wondered how long it would take his brother to realize that.
April had become a little worried about Cassian and asked Alessandro.
_ Do you really think Cassian is okay? He didn't seem that way to me.
I touched his forehead, but he didn't seem to have a fever, but I'm still a little worried.
Alessandro had realized that by touching the princess his power became more effective, when he told her that he had no doubt that Cassian was fine, he told her.
_Don't worry, my brother is fine, and how are you? _Very good.
_Lie down, I'd like to see how your wound is.
April obeyed Alessandro, after he checked the wound and put the bandage back on, she quickly lowered her nightgown since sometimes Alessandro stared at her as if he wanted to eat her, that scared her a little.
_Your wound is much better, it is barely visible now.
_That's right, I think I'll be able to stop using the bandages soon.
_I don't think there will be a scar.
The doctor said the same thing, that the medicine the magician made is very effective.
_I'll ask him to do more, in case you get hurt or something.
_Although it may not seem like it, I don't usually hurt myself very often.
In fact, for some time now I don't even have a slight fever.
I'm in very good health now.
_I'm glad that's the case.
Alessandro lay down next to Abril and said to her.
_In a few weeks I will be inspecting the kingdom, I will be away for a few days.
_I will behave while your majesty is gone.
_Your wound is fine, I think you could accompany me if you want.
Since April had arrived at the palace, she had never left, she felt that being able to go out was like a fantasy.
_ Can I really go? _Of course, I was also thinking of asking Cassian to accompany us, he almost never leaves the palace, I think it would be good for him.
April's eyes lit up with excitement and she asked again.
_ Can I really go out? _Yes, although you won't be able to get away from me while we're away.
_I won't be, I'll stay close to you all the time.
_ How close? _Very, very close.
Alessandro got on top of Abril and said to her.
_This close.
"If that is what your majesty wishes, it will be so." Alessandro kissed her and said.
-But I think it would be a little difficult to walk like this.
Alessandro kissed her again.
Kisses had become something normal between them and every day that passed they became closer.
April stared at him, he asked her.
_ What's happening? _Nothing, it's just that it feels strange to be like this.
_Because.
_When we met he told me that he would never treat me like his wife, that he would never touch my body, that he didn't know how many men I had been with before.
_You still remember that.
_I have a good memory and there are some things that are difficult to forget, but I can assure you that I have never been with any other man, the only one who has touched my body has been his majesty.
Alessandro knew, without her telling him, that with every kiss, with every touch, with every caress he gave her she was proving her innocence, that he was the first to defile her.
He stroked her hair and responded.
_That day I was angry and said a lot of stupid things, forget everything I said that day, it wasn't true.
April nodded, Alessandro stepped aside, put his arms around her and said.
_It's better to leave it here for today.
Alessandro used his magic to turn off the lights and in the darkness April told him.
_Good night Alessandro.
_Good night.
The next day when April woke up she found herself alone, the king had already left.
She got up and opened the curtains, the sun was shining brightly and dazzled her, once her eyes got used to the light she stared at the sky, it was clear, there was not a single cloud in the sky, she did not want to be locked up on such a beautiful day like that, she called the maids pulling a rope that was next to the bed.
Two maids arrived shortly after, one helped her get dressed and April told the other maid that she wanted to have breakfast in the garden, to get everything ready.
A long time ago the maids would have ignored her, however, all the maids in the palace knew what had happened to the maid who had attacked the princess and were afraid of having the same fate if they offended her, so they all obeyed without replying to what the princess ordered.
