Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

71 Sealing a promise Alessandro found the butler in the hallway and told him that April had already woken up and that he should bring her something light to eat.

Then he went to look for Sirius, who was in the library reading books, trying to find a way to help the princess.

When he saw Alessandro he was very surprised because he had not left her side for a single moment since the princess fell asleep.

_ Did something happen? _April has awakened.

_That's good news.

_Yes, it is, although I was a little shocked by what he said.

_ And what did the princess say? _She already knows she has magic, she says her mother told her and gave her some earrings to help her control her magic until she knows how to do it.

_It's not really that strange, I've heard that sometimes if a wizard's spirit is strong enough it can continue to exist without a physical body, it all depends on how much mana the wizard has and if he has something holding him back in this world.

_April's mother died when she was a baby.

_Surely his spirit clung to his daughter, it's not so strange really.

_I'd like you to check her over and make sure everything is okay with her magic.

_I will do so.

When Alessandro returned to the room he found Cassian keeping him company.

Sirius approached the princess and asked her.

_ How are you princess? _Hungry.

_They will bring you the food shortly, be patient, they will surely not take long.

Alessandro replied.

Sirius took the princess's hand, after checking that her pulse was normal again he checked that her magic was under control and was surprised to see that everything was fine.

-How are you? Alessandro asked as he looked at April.

_It's okay, your magic is stable.

Alessandro seemed relieved to hear Sirius confirm that April was fine.

Sirius felt like they were superfluous in that room, so he told Cassian.

_Prince Cassian, there is something I would like to talk to you about, could we go out for a moment? _Of course.

After Sirius and Cassian left a maid entered with a tray of food, after delivering it she left leaving them alone.

Alessandro took the spoon to feed him, Abril told him.

_She could have done it alone.

_I know, but I want to do it, open your mouth.

April obeyed and opened her mouth, Alessandro fed her as if she were a little girl, when the soup was finished, he He peeled an apple for her and cut it into pieces, while he did so Alessandro asked her.

Your mother told you something else about your magic.

_Yes, she sealed my magic so that my father wouldn't use me as a weapon.

When April said that, Alessandro felt miserable because he had thought of doing the same thing with her, using her so he could win the war.

April continued talking.

_It seems that one of the seals has been broken, that's why my magic went out of control.

_How the seal was broken.

_I think it was when we made love, for a moment the beating of our hearts became one, I think it was at that moment.

April took a piece of apple and put it in her mouth, Alessandro remained silent for a moment trying to digest what Abril was telling him, she continued saying.

_I always believed that I was alone, but I was wrong, my mother has always been with me, I think that is one of the reasons why despite everything I lived when I was young I did not die, she was taking care of me even when I did not see her, you know I had never seen my mother's face since there was no portrait of her in the palace, but I was able to see her while I was unconscious, she was very beautiful, she had blonde hair, beautiful like golden threads and her eyes, apparently I inherited t

hem from her.

Alessandro, seeing Abril so happy to have met her mother, said to her.

_I'm glad you were able to meet her.

_Me too, and I'm glad my mother sealed my magic when I was born, because if she hadn't, my father would never have let me leave the kingdom of Laios, he thought he was getting rid of a useless woman, I'm glad it was like that, thanks to that I'm your wife.

_I wasn't very nice when I met you and for a while I...

April gave him a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_That doesn't matter anymore, because now I'm happy by your side, I love you.

_ Do you love me? _Yes, I didn't want to admit it because I was afraid that if I gave you my heart I would end up hurt, but it's useless to continue denying what I feel for you, I love you Alessandro.

Abril's words were like daggers piercing Alessandro's heart, making him feel happy and also miserable for everything he had done to her up until that moment.

For not thinking of her the same way King Venobich would have, for not caring for her and loving her as she deserved, he pushed aside the tray between them, took her face in his arms, kissed her, and then apologized.

_You are too good and kind, I am not worthy of you loving me, I don't deserve it.

_Of course I do and I'm happy that it is so, happy to be your wife.

April asked him timidly.

_Aren't you happy that I love you? Alessandro pressed his forehead against Abril's and looked her straight in the eyes and answered.

_Of course I am, I'd be an idiot if I wasn't.

April lifted his face, kissed him and said.

_Our marriage was something we were forced to do, however, we are the ones who choose how to live it, whether we are happy or not, and I have decided to give you my heart, I have decided to love you, what do you decide? April anxiously awaited Alessandro's response, he took her lips and whispered to her between kisses.

_Yes, I also decide to be with you, I also decide to love you, I decide to be happy by your side.

April smiled, her smile was beautiful and full of happiness.

Alessandro had never been in love, but without a doubt he thought that what he felt in those moments must be it, the happiness he felt when seeing her smile, when being by her side, she was beautiful not only on the outside but also on the inside, she with her light He had broken down her walls and entered her heart, it was useless to continue denying what was so obvious.

He was in love with her, that was why he had been so afraid of losing her, because he loved her.

_I will take care of you, I will make you happy.

_I also want to make you happy, that there is a lot of happiness in our future.

And there will be, I will make sure that it happens, that we are very happy.

Alessandro brushed a lock of hair behind her ear and said.

_I promise to love you, protect you, kiss you, dream about you, live for you, do anything for you.

And he sealed his promise by kissing the marriage mark on her left hand and kissing her lips, doing what he had not done on his wedding day.
