Alessandro went to visit Abril at the small house where she lived. When he arrived, he saw her working enthusiastically in the garden. Her clothes and hands were covered in mud, and she looked like a beggar. However, she had a big smile on her face as she planted some crops. Alessandro stared at her for a few minutes before speaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess, when will you stop crawling in the mud?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril turned her face when she heard his voice. She didn\u2019t like dealing with Alessandro. She could somehow feel how much he hated her every time he looked at her, and that scared her. She didn\u2019t know when he would get angry and decide to kill her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro approached a little closer, his gaze filled with hatred and anger that day. She wondered why he was so upset. Instinctively, Abril backed away and fell on her butt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet up,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stood up, hiding her hands behind her back, and asked fearfully, \u201cWhat brings Your Majesty\u00a0<\/p>\n
here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI came to ask you something,\u201d Alessandro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat thing?\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of magic do you possess?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t possess any magic, Your Majesty,\u201d Abril said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro became angry. Normally, all members of the royal family were born with magic, so it was impossible for her not to possess any kind of magic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you mocking me?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril could see Alessandro\u2019s brow wrinkle even more. He looked genuinely upset, and she was afraid, so she stepped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never dare to do such a thing, Your Majesty,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril thought to herself, at least not to his face, while nervously moving her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow, we will go to the temple, and I will find out,\u201d Alessandro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril thought that Alessandro was going to leave, but he stood, staring at her from head to toe,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must return to the palace, you will no longer play in this place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, why?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I have done something to upset Your Majesty, I ask for forgiveness,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril knelt down and began to cry and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Your Majesty, do not force me to return to the palace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything but that, I will do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease I do not want to go back.\u201d She pleaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUp until now, I have allowed you to do whatever you want, but that\u2019s over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must take your place in the royal palace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough I don\u2019t like the fact that you are my wife, you must give me a child.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that you can do whatever you want with your life,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA child?!\u201d Abril asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, so get up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t intend to continue arguing,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro began to walk away, Abril called him and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty, please wait a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said I didn\u2019t intend to continue arguing.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease Your Majesty, let me stay here a little longer, at least during the day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt night, I will return to the palace.\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d Said Alessandro as he started walking again. Abril couldn\u2019t bear the idea of becoming a prisoner again. After having a glimpse of freedom, she felt like she would die if she returned to being a prisoner. She used her last card since the pleas hadn\u2019t worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease Your Majesty, you owe me this,\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro stopped, turned around, and looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril felt her legs weaken, she was very afraid, but still gathered the courage to continue speaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI once saved your life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you feel even a little grateful, let me stay in this place, even if it\u2019s just during the day,\u201d she\u00a0<\/p>\n
pleaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I will allow you to come back here during the day, but you will sleep in the palace, and once you become pregnant, it will end, you will stay in the palace until you give birth, then you can do\u00a0<\/p>\n
whatever you want.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d Abril screamed excitedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro left after his last words. Abril stood there looking at the place she had called home for three years. She knew it wouldn\u2019t last forever, but in her heart, she had fervently wished for it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stepped aside and let them go ahead. She didn\u2019t want to be in the king\u2019s line of sight, his terrifying and cold gaze made her tremble with fear and wonder at what moment he would grab\u00a0<\/p>\n
her neck and kill her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d better try to go unnoticed.\u201d \u201cHe doesn\u2019t seem to be in a good mood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril said as she walked behind them without making any noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
