Alessandro felt bad seeing Abril cry so inconsolably. He didn\u2019t know what to say to make her calm\u00a0<\/p>\n
down. He sighed heavily and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop crying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf what you want is to stay in this place, you can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril\u2019s tears stopped, and she asked, \u201cCan I really stay here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one will bother you anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will send the butler occasionally to make sure you are not lacking anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want the maids to come, they won\u2019t,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril lowered her head and said to him, \u201cThank you very much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro turned around, headed to the door and, before leaving, he looked at the princess one\u00a0<\/p>\n
last time and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for saving me in the forest a few days ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re welcome.\u201d Abril replied delightfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro left and gave his new orders to the butler. After that visit, the maid\u2019s stopped bothering Abril, returning her to her peaceful days once more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler was the only one who would come occasionally. He brought her clothes and comfortable shoes. He also brought food and some spices for cooking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That winter, Abril had a great time, since she had warm clothes and shoes, she could leave her house and play in the snow. When she did, she felt as happy as a little girl. She had no previous memory of having enjoyed the winter in that way, if she ever had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was making a snowman when a man approached her and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stared at that man. He had a certain resemblance to her husband. Although he looked younger. She continued making her snowman and returned the question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShouldn\u2019t I be the one asking who you are?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am Cassian, and who are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cassian had gone out for a walk, lost in his thoughts. He hadn\u2019t paid much attention to where he was going and ended up in that remote part of the palace. When he saw that red hair standing out in the gray landscape, he approached with curiosity, wondering who that person might be. When he saw the face of that woman, he was totally captivated. She was a very beautiful young lady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what are you doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril pointed to the small house where she lived and responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI live here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlone?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Abril answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian approached a little closer to get a better look at Abril. He touched and pulled her hair to\u00a0<\/p>\n
see if it was real.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour hair is real,\u201d Cassian said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it is,\u201d Abril confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you must be the daughter of King Venobich.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Cassian pulled Abril\u2019s hair, he remembered that, because of that man, he had been on the brink\u00a0<\/p>\n
of death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOuch!\u201d \u201cThat hurts.\u201d Abril complained as she felt her hair being pulled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you\u00a0<\/p>\n
know the level of pain and damage your father caused this kingdom?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps you should pay for his sins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian said as he pulled Abril\u2019s hair even harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd why do I have to pay for something I haven\u2019t done?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople who behave badly are supposed to receive punishment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy give the punishment of a bad person to a good one?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am my father\u2019s daughter, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m the one who has done all these things.\u201d She\u00a0<\/p>\n
said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian let go of Abril\u2019s hair, strands of red hair remained in his hand. Abril rubbed her sore head\u00a0<\/p>\n

and said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you want to blame me for something I haven\u2019t done?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you like to receive punishment for someone else\u2019s actions just because they are family?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stood up from where she was huddled, leaving her snowman unfinished, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t blame me for my father\u2019s sins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril walked towards the small house, leaving Cassian behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t turn your back on me, come back here immediately.\u201d He shouted at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril didn\u2019t want that man to pull her hair again, or worse still, to hit her, so she ran inside the house, closed the door, and blocked it with a thick piece of wood. She wanted to keep away from that evil\u00a0<\/p>\n
man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He angrily pounded on the door and yelled in annoyance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOpen the damn door, you bitch.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was scared of what that man would do. She squatted in a corner of the house, covering her ears with her hands, wishing for him to leave her alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Cassian got tired of pounding on the door. He returned to the palace and sought out his brother. He was in his office working when Cassian suddenly burst in and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlessandro, why is that b***h still alive?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know who you\u2019re talking about, Cassian, and that\u2019s not how you enter my office.\u201d The king\u00a0<\/p>\n
replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m talking about the daughter of King Venobich.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy haven\u2019t you killed her yet?\u201d His brother said angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I remind you that we signed a peace treaty through a marriage? Killing her would mean starting the war again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur kingdom suffered a lot of damage and human losses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe couldn\u2019t win the war.\u201cthe king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was cut short before he could complete his statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I also want to kill her, I\u2019m not willing to pay the price that it entails.\u201d The king said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlessandro\u2026\u201d The king cut him short the second time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t go near that girl, Cassian, don\u2019t you dare harm her, and this is not a request, it\u2019s an order.\u201d He\u00a0<\/p>\n
said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian gripped his leg, it hurt terribly from running all the way there, his leg couldn\u2019t hold him anymore, and he fell to the ground on his knees. Alessandro stopped what he was doing and\u00a0<\/p>\n
helped his brother to stand up and said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian, you came running here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know you shouldn\u2019t do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, I\u2019m a wreck that can hardly walk.\u201d Cassian replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say that, brother.\u201d The king said sympathetically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro helped him reach the sofa and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne day, I will find a way to heal your injury, and you will be able to walk without any problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that\u2019s impossible, Lessan?\u201d Cassian said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will make it possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust give me a little more time, trust me.\u201d The king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the war, Cassian had encountered King Venobich on the battlefield, who almost ripped his leg off. If it wasn\u2019t for Alessandro who had confronted King Venobich, he would have died at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
hands of that demon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The severity of his injury was such that even though he had used healing magic, the damage remained. Since that day, the pain accompanied him day and night, and he also had great difficulty\u00a0<\/p>\n
walking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his brother so downtrodden, Cassian said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay, Lessan, I trust you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
