Abril waited for the king in his chambers. She was starving. There was a basket of fruit in the room, and she stared at it for a good while, hesitant to take any. Her stomach was growling with hunger. Abril touched her stomach and said, \u201cLittle tummy, I\u2019m sorry for making you go hungry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Abril couldn\u2019t bear the hunger any longer and took an apple. After eating it, she grabbed a few grapes and a strange fruit she didn\u2019t recognize, but it was delicious. When she felt satisfied, she sat on the bed to wait for the king, as her legs ached from standing for so long. Alessandro was taking so long that she ended up lying down on the bed and falling asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Alessandro entered, he saw the princess lying on his bed. He approached to check if she was awake, but she was sound asleep, just like the day before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
C\u00a0<\/p>\n
He covered her with the blankets, then got ready for bed himself. He laid down on his side, looked at the wound on his hand, and wondered what would happen. If his wound will disappear or if it will\u00a0<\/p>\n
still be there the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro couldn\u2019t sleep well at night, which was why he always returned to his chambers late. But the previous night and this one were different. Being with the princess made him drowsy. His eyelids felt heavy, and he fell asleep quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro woke up first, and he realized that he had a good night\u2019s sleep. He hadn\u2019t had any of the nightmares that tormented him at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at his hand. There wasn\u2019t even a small mark. His wound had completely disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was surprised and excited at the same time. It meant that his brother had a chance that his leg injury could heal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro got up quickly, went straight to his office, and ordered the guards not to disturb him for the rest of the day. He locked his office door and moved an ornament on a bookshelf in his office,\u00a0<\/p>\n
revealing a secret passage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that he knew the princess possessed magic, he had to find out what sort of magic. He knew that such magic had been lost over time, and certainly, no one knew anything. However, the royal family possessed books older than the kingdom itself, books that only the king could consult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He spent hours searching for books about all the types of magic that had ever existed until he finally found what he was looking for, and it was called, The Light Magic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A magic as ancient as creation itself that only a few have ever possessed. Th..\u00a0<\/p>\n
agic was so\u00a0<\/p>\n
valuable that those who possessed it were considered saints, bearers of the light of the goddess\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juno.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A magic that could heal wounds and serious injuries, a magic that even nullified other magics. The\u00a0<\/p>\n
more he read, the more fascinated Alessandro became. He couldn\u2019t believe the king had handed\u00a0<\/p>\n
him someone as powerful as the princess. But since it was lost magic, it couldn\u2019t be easily\u00a0<\/p>\n
detected. If it hadn\u2019t been for his brother, Alessandro wouldn\u2019t have realized the valuable power the\u00a0<\/p>\n
princess possessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went to look for his brother. He wanted to tell him what he had discovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He searched the palace but couldn\u2019t find him. Then he remembered that his brother had told him that he visited the princess every day. He went to look for his brother where the princess was and, truly, Cassian was with the princess. They were both sitting on a blanket under the shade of a large tree. They both seemed relaxed with each other. His brother seemed happy, like he hadn\u2019t seen him in a long time. He didn\u2019t dare interrupt them, so he left quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, during dinner, Alessandro asked all the servants to leave them alone. Cassian asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on, brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout the princess. She possesses Light magic. It\u2019s a very ancient magic that\u2019s practically forgotten.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes that mean\u2026?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat you can be healed, brother. Your injury will no longer be a problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know exactly yet. Although the princess possesses this magic, I don\u2019t think she\u2019s aware of\u00a0<\/p>\n
it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe believes she doesn\u2019t possess magic and that\u2019s why she suffered so much throughout her life. That\u2019s why she has always been the forgotten princess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer magic must not have awakened yet. What she does to relieve your pain, she does unconsciously. They\u2019re sparks of her power.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNormally, magic awakens when you\u2019re six years old. Why hasn\u2019t hers awakened yet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know. But it\u2019s a forgotten magic. It\u2019s hard to know exactly how it works. But don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian, there\u2019s something I\u2019d like to ask you.\u201d The king said as they were about leaving the dining\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you in love with the princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! She\u2019s your wife, brother. I will never do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw you with her earlier. You seemed happy. Since you suffered that injury, I\u2019ve never seen you smile again. But today, with her, you seemed happy like you haven\u2019t been in a long time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI swear to you, brother, I don\u2019t love the princess. But I don\u2019t dislike her either. She\u2019s a good person despite being her father\u2019s daughter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t trust her, Cassian. She\u2019s the daughter of our enemy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve never taken the time to get to know her, that\u2019s why you talk that way. But she has never been a loved daughter, as you think. King Venobich treated her with hatred for not being strong. He sent her here to die at your hands, brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose that\u2019s a good strategy on King Venobich\u2019s part. If I had killed her, he would have declared war on us again, and our kingdom would be in trouble right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
