No shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro might have completely ignored the princess, but she continued to be a princess and\u00a0<\/p>\n
had to be treated as such, so he had never ordered otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A small memory came to Alessandro\u2019s mind. He had sent her to that place as a punishment, but\u00a0<\/p>\n
hat had only been temporary. Alessandro covered his face with his hands. He remembered that he never said how long the princess would be in that place and, since no one had mentioned her\u00a0<\/p>\n
again, he had completely forgotten about her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at her closely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was dressed in a simple white dress that reached her knees. That dress had no embellishments, not even the servants dressed that way. The princess was barefoot. The same had happened before. He thought it was because of the princess\u2019s extravagance, but something\u00a0<\/p>\n
made him think that wasn\u2019t the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you telling me that you have been living in this place for three years without the help of any\u00a0<\/p>\n
servants?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d She answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you say anything?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you complain?\u201d The king questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would I?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd even if I did, who would listen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis Majesty made it clear that I couldn\u2019t ask for anything and that he didn\u2019t want to see me\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI only did what His Majesty wanted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t\u2026\u201d She didn\u2019t complete her sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril put the clothes on the bed and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u00a0<\/p>\n
but there are no men\u2019s clothes you can wear in this place, so you\u2019ll have to wear your\u00a0<\/p>\n
own clothes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re actually clean.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI washed them myself, although the bloodstains didn\u2019t completely disappear,\u201d Said Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Alessandro felt sorry for the princess in front of him. Although he didn\u2019t feel sympathy for her because of everything her family had done, he felt sorry for her for living in such a\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro took the clothes and removed the sheet he was covered with. Until that moment, he\u00a0<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t realize that he was completely naked. His face turned red and he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho took off all my clothes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was me\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there a problem?\u201d She responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you feel ashamed?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should I feel ashamed?\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou took off all my clothes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot even a boxer is left,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShould I really feel ashamed of that?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re shameless, get out while I change.\u201d The king ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you want me to help you?\u201d Abril questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, now leave!\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril left the house. Alessandro got up to change. When she came back and peeked her head through the door, seeing him completely naked, she didn\u2019t flinch, nor feel any shame. It was as if the sight before her was nothing special.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked him,\u201cIs Your Majesty certain that he doesn\u2019t need any help to get dressed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro covered himself with his hands and shouted at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, go away and close the door.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you wish.\u201d Your Majesty, she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had never felt so much shame in his life. What kind of education had the princess received to see a fully naked man and not be bothered?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril patiently waited for Alessandro to change and wondered what she had done now to upset his\u00a0<\/p>\n
majesty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro left the house, it was a bit difficult for him to walk, he felt dizzy, and his head was spinning. Abril grabbed him as he was about to fall and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll help you get to the palace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro was in no position to reject her help, so he remained silent and leaned on her shoulder\u00a0<\/p>\n
to avoid falling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they walked, Alessandro noticed that the princess was barefoot and asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you wear shoes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI only have one pair of shoes, and they\u2019re too small.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey hurt my feet, so I prefer not to wear them.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro felt miserable. As a husband, he had not provided his wife with what she needed, even\u00a0<\/p>\n
though he hated her, he didn\u2019t want to be seen as a stingy man who allowed his wife to live like a beggar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro leaned on his little wife\u2019s shoulder until they reached the palace and found some guards. When they saw the pale king with blood\u2013stained clothes, they hurried to help him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stepped aside as she watched them take the king away. When Alessandro turned to look back, she was no longer there. She had disappeared like a ghost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the doctor attended to Alessandro, he called for the butler and asked him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you\u00a0<\/p>\n
know that all this time my wife has been living on her own, forgotten in a small house in the farthest part of the castle?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I remind you, Your Majesty, that was the punishment you chose for the princess when she attacked Miss Victoria,\u201d the butler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said to take her to that place, not to leave her there forever?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were only supposed to leave her there for a month at most so she could reflect on what she did.\u201d The king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty did not say anything about that, and also never asked about the princess again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOrder them to bring her back, and also to give her new dresses and comfortable shoes.\u201d Alessandro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you wish, Your Majesty.\u201d The butler bowed and excused himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was working in her garden when the butler approached her, looking surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess! What are you doing?!\u201d He exclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No shame\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking in my garden,\u201d Abril calmly replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not the behavior befitting of a princess!\u201d The butler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you want me to sit in my room and wait to starve to death?\u201d She questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not, which is why the princess is provided with food every day,\u201d the butler explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril couldn\u2019t help but laugh at the absurd words of the butler.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I\u2019ve been living here, they have only given me a food basket once, and that was three years\u00a0<\/p>\n
ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince then, I haven\u2019t seen any of the maids, and I haven\u2019t been given any food.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I didn\u2019t search for my own food, I would starve to death.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes the butler want me to die of hunger?\u201d She questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler was dumbfounded. Although the princess had been sent to that remote part of the castle, he had ordered the maids to take care of providing her with food. It was unheard of that she had been living worse than one of the servants when she was a princess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler looked at one of the maids who had accompanied him and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, sir.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will speak with the chief maiden later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I hope that what the princess is saying isn\u2019t true, otherwise they will have serious problems.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril felt annoyed. The butler didn\u2019t believe her words, she continued to remove the weeds from her garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess, please leave that and come with me.\u201d He pleaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere to?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis majesty wants you to return to the palace,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril remembered the first year she had lived in the palace, locked in her room, freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer, she continued to cut the weeds and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell His majesty that I prefer to live here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
