Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

91 A home for children ​ When Alessandro woke up and saw Abril looking at him, he put his arms around her, gave her a kiss on the cheek and said.

_Good morning, Aby, what are you doing up so early? You should be resting.

_I woke up a moment ago.

_ Have you slept well? Have you rested? _Yes, I feel fine now, I no longer feel as tired as before when using my magic.

_That's good.

_I guess so, my mother said that I must learn to control my magic in order to break the next seal.

_ When did your mother say that? _I dreamed about her tonight, she also told me that dark times were coming.

_ That? _He also told me that he would teach me what he could, but that everything would depend on me, that my magic not only healed wounds, but that my magic also cleanses, purifies and restores everything to its original state.

original form: that I will never forget it, sometimes I don't understand what my mother says, she says strange things.

_I think your mother just wants to help you and it seems that she knows more things than we imagine.

_I'm afraid that this will end, that our relationship will end either because of my father or because of something else.

_ I know, sometimes I get scared too, but if we're in this together, we'll overcome anything.

_I'm going to try hard to learn how to use my magic and not be a burden to you but a help.

_You are not a burden to me and you are already my help, you have saved me several times, if I am here it is because of you, when you found me wounded in the forest, you took care of me, even when I did not deserve it because I had been bad to you, you saved me.

_I couldn't let you die, you are my husband.

_Believe me, anyone else in your place would have let me die, but not you, your heart is so good and kind, there is no evil or resentment in it, that is one of the things I love most about you.

April felt happy to hear those words from Alessandro's mouth, to know that she was not a burden to him, she hugged him and said.

_I know that at this moment I can do very little, but I will try hard and do my best without ever putting on a bad face, This time I won't complain about taking my magic classes, I'll do it without arguing.

Alessandro stroked her hair and said.

_You can do whatever you want, you shouldn't force yourself to do anything you don't want because I will always be there for you my sweet Aby.

Alessandro thought for a moment about whether or not to tell Abril about what he had discovered about her magic, about her roots, but in the end he decided that it was not yet the time, that he would wait a little longer before telling her.

_ Are you hungry? _Yes, we could have breakfast with the children, I couldn't see them all day yesterday.

_That seems fine to me.

April wanted to get up, but Alessandro didn't let her, he held her in his arms and said to her.

_Let's stay a little longer like this, I want to be by your side a little longer.

_ Don't you have work to do? _My work can wait a little longer, there's no hurry.

After a while April and Alessandro got up and went to see the children, they greeted April with great emotion, Joe asked her.

_ Why didn't you come to see us yesterday? We missed you.

_I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling very well.

Joe was scared, he was afraid that the same thing that happened to his parents would happen to April and he asked with teary eyes.

_ Are you going to die too? Are you going to leave us alone? April realized that she had been reckless, for those children who had lost their parents due to an illness, hearing that she was not feeling well must have been alarming, she caressed his cheek and said...

_Of course not Joe, I will live for a long time, I was just tired, after sleeping well I feel like new.

_ Are you serious? You're not lying? _I'm not lying, I'm fine, I won't leave you alone, I promise.

Alessandro told them.

_ Are you hungry? _Yeah.

_The two children answered at the same time very excited.

They went to the dining room, Cassian joined them and asked April.

_ Are you feeling better now? _Yes, and how have you been? We haven't spent much time together lately.

_I'm fine, my leg has stopped giving me problems, and that's why I'm helping Lessan with his work, I want to be of help to him now that I'm back to my old self.

Alessandro said.

_You've always been of help to me, Cassian.

_Yes, but, but it wasn't the same as now, I feel that I am more useful now than before.

_Do you have something to do today? We could go out with the children for a walk around the town.

_I'm sorry, but I have something to do, I'll leave after breakfast.

_ Another mission? _Yes, this time I might be away for a few days.

_I guess it will be next time.

Alessandro told him.

_If you want, you can come with me, I think the children will want to see their friends before leaving the town.

Otis asked.

_ Are we going to leave here? _Yes, we are just passing through, we will leave this afternoon or maybe tomorrow, I haven't decided yet.

_My friends, are you okay? _Yes, they are fine, I have made sure that it is so, this time they will not suffer any more hardships.

After breakfast Alessandro asked for a carriage to be prepared, they met Cassian at the entrance, he was carrying a bag slung over his shoulder and told them.

_I'll see you in a few days, don't get into trouble while I'm gone.

_The same goes for you.

Alessandro replied.

_Be very careful.

_Don't worry, I'll have it.

Cassian climbed onto one of the horses that had been saddled for him, rode a little and then used a teleportation scroll to disappear.

Otis and Joe were very surprised, Alessandro had to explain to them that Cassian had used magic to disappear, that he had not been swallowed by the earth as they thought.

Shortly after they got into the carriage and headed to the town, the carriage took them to a small mansion that was nearby of the town, Otis recognized it immediately, that mansion belonged to Baron Terren, although it was said that it was always empty, he used it very rarely, since his main mansion was much larger, although it was a little further away from the town, when Otis got out he asked.

_ What are we doing in this house? _This will be the new home of all the children who were kidnapped in Baron Terren's mansion.

_Really? _Yes, this place will serve as a home for all those children who do not have a home to live in, so they will never be alone again, they will have a home and a family, they will never suffer hunger or cold again, here they will be provided with everything they need.

Otis began to cry, he couldn't help the tears from escaping his eyes, he was happy to know that the other children would have a roof under which to take shelter from the rain and the cold, that they would stop living on the streets rummaging through the garbage to be able to eat.

April put a hand on his shoulder and asked.

_ What's wrong Otis? _It's nothing, I'm just happy that my friends have a place to live, Joe and I have only been living on the streets for a short time, however, we know that it's not easy, you go hungry every day and sometimes you are mistreated because, for everyone, your life has no value, you're nothing more than a street rat.

_That will never happen to any child again, I will make sure that it does, I will not let any other child go through what you had to go through when your parents died, I want to correct that.
