Alessandro read the books that the princess had mentioned to him. After reading them, he understood many things about the princess\u2019s personality and at that moment he realized why the butler had acted somewhat strangely when he had handed him the books.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at his hand. The night before, he had made sure to make a deep cut. However, that morning the wound was barely visible. He wanted to check that night if his wound would completely disappear and then, depending on the result, he would find out what kind of magic the princess possessed, since it was not detected by the power sphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril had eaten until she was full, then she had returned to her small house in the farthest part of the palace. On arriving, she was surprised to see Cassian. He asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere have you been?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in the palace, from now on I will have to sleep in the king\u2019s quarters.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis Majesty has said that I must give him an heir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, I will have to leave this house I call home for some time.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes my brother want a child with you?\u201d He questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am his Majesty\u2019s wife, even if it doesn\u2019t seem like it, my duty is to give birth to his Majesty\u2019s child,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and although he doesn\u2019t like it, he is aware that it is also his duty.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid my brother do something to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I mean is, did he try to attack you like he did in the temple?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, he didn\u2019t.\u201d Was her reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brother is not a bad man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat day he was upset, don\u2019t hate him.\u201d He pleaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand his Majesty\u2019s reaction, he must have thought that my father had deceived him by sending an impostor, but that\u2019s not true.\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril showed a sad expression on her face, Cassian handed her a basket and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI brought you this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril opened the basket. Inside were several delicious\u2013looking desserts, even though she had just\u00a0<\/p>\n
eaten, it immediately awakened her appetite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much.\u201d She said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril entered the house and a few minutes later came out with a blanket and the little fox that she\u00a0<\/p>\n
had as a pet in her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a beautiful day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s have picnic.\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril put the little fox on the ground and carried everything else in her arms. Cassian followed her to the shade of a big tree, she spread the blanket on the ground and then sat down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, sit down.\u201d She said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian hesitated for a moment since it would be difficult for him to stand up afterward, but the princess kept insisting until he agreed and sat down next to her. Abril took a cupcake out of the basket, gave one to Cassian and another one to her pet, then she took one for herself and when\u00a0<\/p>\n
she tasted it she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is delicious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for sharing something so delicious with me, you are very kind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I am kind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I met you, I attacked you.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s true, but for a while now you haven\u2019t attacked me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou even defended me from your brother in the temple.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the first time someone was kind to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will never forget it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always be grateful for that,\u201d she said excitedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I ask you a question?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was your life like in the kingdom of Laios?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was little I was very sickly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father hated me because of that, but he thought my magical powers would make up for my\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s what she wants\u00a0<\/p>\n
lack of health, but that wasn\u2019t the case.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can see, I don\u2019t have magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
$25 Pouts\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen my father found out about that, he got furious and sent me to an abandoned palace in the most remote part of the castle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t have servants, and sometimes I didn\u2019t even have food, but somehow I survived.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father is a man who values power, and for him, someone like me is just trash.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he sent me here, his last words were,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMay the light of Air\u00f3n be with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a death wish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means that death will come to visit me soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn other words, my father thought that I would die at the hands of His majesty.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s what he\u00a0<\/p>\n
wished for,\u201d Abril said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry.\u201d Cassian said as he listened to the princess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you apologizing?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite having a difficult life in your kingdom, here you had to go through the same,\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril shook her head and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true, my life here has been much better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I were still in that place, maybe I would be dead by now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am grateful for what I have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian felt bad, he knew that the princess had been ignored and sent to the furthest part of the castle where she received nothing, not even a decent meal. They treated her the same way King\u00a0<\/p>\n
Venobich did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That day, the two of them stayed under that big tree for a while. Cassian returned to the palace when the pain in his leg disappeared again. He went straight to his brother\u2019s office. He stood in front of the door for a few minutes, and one of the guards stationed at the door asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you plan to enter, Your Majesty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian knocked on the door with his knuckles and from inside a voice allowed him to enter. Cassian saw that his brother was with his assistant and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAm I interrupting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, sit down, I\u2019ll ask them to bring us tea.\u201d The king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The king\u2019s assistant left and shortly afterward a maid brought them tea and pastries, while they\u00a0<\/p>\n
drank tea, Alessandro asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you, brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you arrived it seems like you want to tell me something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that the princess will be staying at the palace from now on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they are pressuring me to have an heir.\u201d The king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, why don\u2019t you allow the princess to return to live in the palace?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already ordered it before, but she refused.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith tears in her eyes she begged me to let her keep living in that small house in the furthest part\u00a0<\/p>\n
of the castle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe didn\u2019t want to live in the palace again,\u201d the king said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut she doesn\u2019t have anyone to take care of her.\u201d Cassian said, expressing his concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe doesn\u2019t want to, she has sent away all the maids I\u2019ve sent, she wants to be alone, brother, so don\u2019t get the wrong idea about why she keeps living in that small house that seems like a cage, since that\u2019s her wish.\u201d The king said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
