Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

90 Dark times are coming When April opened her eyes Alessandro rushed to her side and said to Cassian.

_Brother, then we will continue our conversation.

Alessandro took April's hand and asked her.

_ Are you OK? April felt tired, but otherwise she was fine, she tried to get up, but Alessandro didn't let her.

_Don't get up, your magic got out of control again when you took off your earrings, why did you do it? _I heard my mother's voice talking to me, she told me to do it.

_That was dangerous, don't do it again, Were you afraid that you wouldn't wake up this time? _I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.

Alessandro caressed Abril's face and said to her.

_You are so reckless, every time I leave you alone I am afraid to see what you have done when I return.

_I'm sorry, but I only took the bottle out of curiosity, I never imagined there was something so dangerous inside.

_Don't apologize for that, I shouldn't have left it here in the first place.

_ What was in that jar? That darkness that came out of those stones was chilling.

_I don't know exactly what it is, but don't worry about it now, you need to rest so you can recover.

April's stomach growled with hunger, she told him.

_I haven't eaten anything all day, I need food.

Alessandro laughed and said to him.

_I suppose you never lose your appetite, I'll ask them to bring you something to eat.

Alessandro headed for the door, before leaving he said.

_Don't get out of bed, I'll be right back.

_I won't move from here so come back soon.

_I'll be with you right away.

Alessandro found one of the priests and asked for something light to eat for his wife, including some fruit.

When he got back to the room, April had fallen asleep again, he moved her shoulder slightly, waking her up.

-I fell asleep? _It seems so.

_I'm sorry, it's just that when I use my magic I tend to get exhausted, I always get very sleepy.

_That's because you don't control it yet, you release too much magic at once, that's why you end up exhausted, you just need to rest to replenish your magic power.

_ Have I delayed your trip again? _Of course not, I still have some things to do in this place so don't worry, rest as much as you need.

Shortly after they brought Abril's dinner, pumpkin puree and a handful of grapes, Alessandro helped her sit on the bed and put the tray on her legs, Abril was going to take the spoon but Alessandro didn't allow it, he took the spoon and said to her.

_Let me do it.

_I can eat alone.

_I still want to do it, let me do it.

Alessandro gave her the food, when he went to get the grapes Abril asked him.

_ Have you eaten yet? _I'm not hungry.

April took one of the grapes and put it in Alessandro's mouth and said to him.

_You should eat too or you could get sick.

_I'll keep that in mind.

_Eating well is very important, don't skip meals unless you don't have to eat.

Alessandro kissed her and said.

_Okay, I won't.

She kissed him back and said.

_I'm glad you're okay, that nothing bad happened to you, when you stood between me and that darkness, I was very afraid of losing you, I don't know what I would do if something happened to you.

Alessandro stroked her reddish hair and said to her.

_That's not going to happen.

_You came back injured yesterday.

_But it wasn't serious.

_That's not something that can be controlled.

_I know I was reckless yesterday, that I shouldn't have attacked without a plan, but I couldn't let them kill and destroy the citizens of my kingdom, I promised to take care of my people, I couldn't just turn around and leave.

April hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

No matter how afraid she was of losing him, she knew she couldn't ask him to abandon his people.

She could only be by his side and heal his wounds after every battle.

_Then I guess I'll have to stay by your side to heal your wounds.

_You talk as if I always get hurt.

_Almost always.

Alessandro returned the hug and said.

_That's not true.

They both stayed hugging each other for a while, then Alessandro told her that it was better for her to rest so she could recover sooner.

Abril felt very tired, she listened to what he told her, placed her head on the pillow and quickly fell asleep.

When Alessandro realized that April had fallen asleep, he went to look for Cassian, he still had many questions to ask him about what he had mentioned before April woke up.

Alessandro knocked on Cassian's room door, he quickly opened the door.

_ How is April going? _It's okay, just tired from using so much magic at once.

_I'm glad you're okay.

_ May I come in? _Yes, there are still many things I must tell you.

Cassian told him everything Maya had told him about elves and half-bloods, something that only made Alessandro even more worried.

_I'll try to find one of the elves, maybe that will help us know a little more about the truth of April's offspring.

_Try to be discreet and don't mention April at any time, we must keep her magic a secret.

_I will do so.

_And try to find out more about the darkness.

_And.

_Since April is feeling better, we will leave tomorrow for the city of Noreth.

_What are you going to do in Noreth? _There's something I want to check, we'll be at the Marchioness Haller's mansion.

_This time I might stay a few more days, I'll catch up with you later.

_We will wait for you.

Alessandro returned to Abril, she was fast asleep, he got into bed and stayed a while looking at her beautiful face before falling asleep.

That night April dreamed about her mother again.

Whenever she dreamed about her mother she saw her with a sweet smile on her lips, however, that day she had a frown and a worried expression on her face.

_ What's wrong, mom? _My girl, today you have had to fight a very dangerous enemy that should not exist, dark times are coming, you must learn to use your magic and break the remaining seals.

_How can I break the missing seals? _When you learn to control the magic you already possess at this moment, the next seal will be broken.

_What do I do to control my magic? _I will teach you what I can, however, it will all depend on you, your magic not only heals wounds, your magic cleanses, purifies and restores everything to its original form, never forget that.

_ What does that mean, mother? _You'll find out very soon.

April's mother said before she woke up.

She had woken up before Alessandro, he was still sleeping deeply, while she watched him sleep April wondered what her mother had meant, most of the time she couldn't understand her, she just hoped that she was wrong about dark times coming, for the first time Once she was happy and she wished with all her heart that that would never change.
