Chapter 70
70 The awakening of magic When Sirius arrived and saw Alessandro looking very upset, he approached him and asked him.
_ How are you? _He still hasn't woken up.
Sirius was going to touch April, but Alessandro stopped him and said.
_Don't do it, her magic went out of control when Cassian touched her.
_That's why you're wearing gloves.
_Yes, although its magic continues to overflow.
_Why do you say that? Everyone who enters this room comes out revitalized, its magic is spreading even further, just by being near the door for a few minutes they feel better, all their fatigue, tiredness and pain disappear.
Sirius also felt better when he entered the room, to get there he had had to use several scrolls and a great amount of magic, but at that moment he seemed to be as good as new, he actually didn't remember when had been the last time he had felt so good.
Sirius put on a pair of gloves and began to examine the princess, her magic seemed to have increased, it was as if suddenly her almost non-existent power appeared out of nowhere.
_ How are you doing? _His magic has increased.
_I've already realized that.
_I don't mean that, her magic was almost impossible to perceive before, I even doubted that she possessed magic, however, now her mana is strong, as if her dormant magic had awakened.
_ That? _It's like when magic awakens in a child, although much stronger, his magic seems to have awakened, although uncontrolled, he possesses too much magic, his body does not seem able to retain it, his magic is too much for her.
_I don't know, we can only wait for his magic to stabilize.
_ What if he doesn't? _I don't know how much magic the princess has, but if she completely exhausts her mana, I don't think she'll survive, mana is like life for a magician.
_I exhausted my mana and I'm fine.
_Her majesty is the exception in many things, her life force is stronger than her mana, she can live perfectly, even if she completely lost her magic, but this does not seem to be the case with the princess.
_ And you want me to stand by and watch his life elapse? _I don't think there's anything else we can do, just wait for her to wake up.
April was sleeping for three days, during which time Alessandro stayed by her side waiting for her to wake up while holding her hand, Cassian seeing his brother so heartbroken and dejected wondered how his brother could be so stupid as to not realize that he had already fallen in love with the princess.
Cassian walked over to his brother, put a hand on his shoulder and said.
_You should rest a little, you haven't slept for three days.
_I'm fine, _Lessan.
_I'll stay by his side until Cassian wakes up, and I don't think he'll be able to sleep either.
Cassian knew it was useless to keep insisting that he go and rest so he decided it was best to leave him alone.
Alessandro stared at his wife's sleeping face, wishing she would wake up.
_April, wake up, please.
Alessandro saw a small light shine in Abril's ears, he moved her hair aside and saw that she had red teardrop-shaped earrings on, he was sure that a few minutes ago she He had nothing, he wondered where they had come from.
He was distracted looking at the earrings and didn't notice when April woke up until he felt her hands touching his arm.
Alessandro couldn't believe that she had woken up, he was so happy that he hugged her forgetting that he couldn't touch her, but he immediately remembered and separated from her, caressed her cheek with his gloved hands and asked her.
_Are you OK? _Yeah.
April tried to get up, Alessandro stopped her and said.
_Don't move, you might get dizzy.
_I'm fine.
Abril insisted as she sat on the bed, but she ended up getting dizzy just as Alessandro had told her.
_I told you, you're not okay.
April looked at it and it was morning, the warm morning light filtering through the windows.
_Maybe it's because I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, I ended up sleeping all night.
_You've been sleeping for three days.
_Three days.
_I thought you wouldn't wake up again.
April felt a strong headache and suddenly memories of everything that had happened while she was asleep came to her mind, the time she had spent in the darkness and her meeting with her mother.
Alessandro took her by the shoulders and asked her.
_Are you okay? Does something hurt? April could see real concern in Alessandro's eyes, she reached out her hand and touched his cheek, he quickly pulled his hand away and said to her.
_No, it's dangerous.
April knew perfectly what Alessandro was referring to, she touched his face again and said to him.
_It's not, not anymore, my magic is no longer out of control.
Alessandro's eyes widened.
Abril caressed his cheek and said.
_ You knew I had magic, right? That's why you wanted me to learn the concepts of magic.
_ Did you know you had magic? April shook her head.
_I didn't know, while I was asleep, my mother told me.
_ Your mother? _I know it seems unbelievable, but I dreamed about her and she told me that my magic was getting out of control.
April brushed her hair back, revealing her ears, and said.
_She told me this, she said they would limit my magic until I learn to control it.
_ Are you upset because I didn't tell you? _No, if you didn't do it it was for a reason, right? _Yeah.
April's stomach growled, she told him.
_I'm starving, could you ask them to bring me something to eat? _Yes, I will do it right away.
When Alessandro left the room he saw his brother standing by the door and said to him.
_April has awakened.
Cassian felt a great relief knowing that the princess had finally awakened from her long sleep and asked her.
_ May I come in? _Of course, I'll go ask for something to eat and ask Sirius to come check on her.
_ Has your magic stopped overflowing? _Yes, I don't know exactly how, but she's fine.
Alessandro continued walking, Cassian knocked on the door with his knuckles and asked.
_May I come in? _Happens.
Entering, Cassian stood at the door for a few minutes looking at the princess who was sitting on the bed.
He asked her.
_ How are you? _Hungry, but fine.
Cassian finished entering and as he walked towards her, April noticed that Cassian no longer limped when he walked, she told him.
_Your leg seems to be fine.
_Yes, I think my leg is fine now.
_I'm glad to hear that.
_I'm glad to know that you've already woken up and that you're fine, we were all very worried about you, Lessan didn't leave your side for a moment, he wanted to be by your side when you woke up.
_I'm sorry to have worried you.
_That doesn't matter, the important thing is that you're fine now.
