Alessandro stayed in his office late, thinking about what his brother had told him. It was assumed that the princess had no magic. He had seen it with his own eyes, but he doubted that his brother was lying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Alessandro called his brother again and a doctor to examine him, just as Cassian had told him. The doctor confirmed that he was better, that his condition had improved greatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they were alone, Cassian said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, I wasn\u2019t lying to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what the princess possesses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I know is that, thanks to her, I have improved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo don\u2019t kill her, because if you do, you will condemn me to a life of pain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t do anything to her, don\u2019t worry.\u201d The king assured him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Cassian left, Alessandro called the butler and told him to make sure that the princess was in\u00a0<\/p>\n
his quarters that night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler went to find Abril as dusk fell. The maids gave her a bath and dressed her in a light white nightgown with straps, then they took her to the king\u2019s quarters and told her to wait for His\u00a0<\/p>\n
majesty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was very nervous. She was afraid that her life would end that very night. She stood completely still in a corner of the room, staring at the door, waiting for the king to enter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The king was taking a long time. Abril was tired of standing, so she squatted as she finally sat on the floor. The hours passed, and the king did not appear. Abril felt her eyelids heavy. She fought against sleep, but in the end, she lost and fell asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had more work than usual, so he had stayed up working late. When he entered his room, he turned on the light. He was tired, took off his clothes, and when he was about to go to bed, he noticed that someone was in a corner of his room. It was the princess, she had fallen asleep hugging her knees. He had completely forgotten that he had asked the butler to bring her to his quarters that night. He approached, tried to wake her up, but he couldn\u2019t. She was deeply asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro couldn\u2019t leave her sleeping on the floor. He carried her in his arms and gently placed her on the bed. He stared at her intently. She was a young beautiful woman with delicate features. Alessandro wanted to verify if it was true that she possessed healing magic and there was only\u00a0<\/p>\n

He took a letter opener from the bedside table and made a somewhat deep cut in his hand. After cleaning the wound and bandaging it, he laid down next to the princess. Alessandro had trouble sleeping. Sometimes he only slept for three hours because he always had nightmares that woke him up. However, that night he slept deeply like he hadn\u2019t in a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, when Abril woke up, she found herself lying next to the king. He was sound asleep and holding her. She stayed still, not knowing what was happening. She didn\u2019t remember how she had ended up in that situation. Her stomach started to growl, Abril was starving because she hadn\u2019t had dinner the day before because the maidservants hadn\u2019t allowed her to. She wondered when the king would wake up and let her go. All she wanted was to return to her small house in the farthest part of the castle and eat until she was satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Alessandro woke up, he felt a strange warmth. As he opened his eyes, he saw that he was embracing the princess. He thought she was still asleep. He planned to get up slowly when he heard the sound of a growl. It was the princess\u2019s stomach. He got up and saw how embarrassed she was. Alessandro ignored her as if he hadn\u2019t heard anything. He removed the bandage from his hand and was surprised to see that the wound had almost completely healed. He turned to look at the princess and said to her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet up, I know you\u2019re awake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stood up and immediately knelt down. She was scared because the king\u2019s tone of voice was severe. She said to him:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Your Majesty, I have been disrespectful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease forgive me and spare my life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said stand up, not kneel.\u201d The king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stood up, she was trembling and dared not to look him in the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to kill you, so stop trembling, it annoys me.\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril couldn\u2019t complete her sentence when Alessandro approached her and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril lifted her face fearfully, he had a calm look on his face, he didn\u2019t seem upset despite the tone of his voice. He showed her his hand and asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou touched my wound?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Your Majesty, yesterday I fell asleep and didn\u2019t notice when\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just woke up a moment ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

you\u00a0<\/p>\n
arrived.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril\u2019s stomach growled again, she felt embarrassed, her face turned red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be hungry, I\u2019ll have them bring you breakfast.\u201d Alessandro said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro was changing his clothes. While doing so, Abril watched him. She didn\u2019t seem the least embarrassed, it bothered him a little and he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be very used to seeing naked men, since you show no modesty when seeing me without\u00a0<\/p>\n
clothes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re mistaken, but is there any reason why I should feel ashamed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t find any.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it wrong to show oneself without clothes?\u201d She asked innocently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d The king replied, shocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t received a proper education, so there are some things I don\u2019t handle very well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI only know what I\u2019ve learned from books.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my books there were many scenes where the characters were naked and none of them felt\u00a0<\/p>\n
ashamed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the contrary, it is said that one should be proud to show his or her body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty has a good body, so be proud of it.\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro was shocked by the princess\u2019s words and if she had told him that any other day, he would have thought she was deceiving him. However, after confirming that she didn\u2019t possess magic, he realized that maybe she hadn\u2019t had an easy life. He asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was the name of the book you learned that from?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was called, \u201cDuring the nights of the full moon.\u201d \u201cThere were three volumes,\u201d Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho gave you those books?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody gave them to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI found them in the library of the little palace where I lived when I was a child.\u201d She replied. Alessandro wanted to see what those books were about before saying anything else, so he walked\u00a0<\/p>\n

to the door and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will tell the maids to come help you get dressed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t need them, I can change on my own,\u201d she answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I will just ask them to bring you breakfast,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much, Your majesty.\u201d Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
