With her, we could win the war.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t get ahead of yourself. Her magic hasn\u2019t awakened yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know, but\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sirius sat there pondering on something, then said,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when her power awakens, she will become a double\u2013edged sword. She could help us win the\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>war or be our downfall.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m aware of that. So far, she has remained calm since she hasn\u2019t had any power, but we don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>know if she will remain the same once her power awakens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be best to leave things as they are,\u201d Sirius said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro shook his head and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe can heal Cassian\u2019s injury. I want my brother to be the same as before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s too dangerous. She is the daughter of our enemy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that, but I\u2019m still willing to take that risk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sirius knew that Alessandro always felt guilty about Cassian\u2019s injury. He had searched for\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>countless ways to heal his brother, but none had worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sirius got up from the sofa, returned the book and said, \u201cI will go and meet your wife. I will begin\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>her teaching as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d the king replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sirius went to look for the princess. He asked several servants where she was, but none could tell him. Sirius ran into Cassian in the hallway. He greeted him and said, \u201cHello, Sirius, what are you\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>doing in the palace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to see your brother. He asked me to teach the princess the principles of magic, but no\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The duties of a spouse\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>matter how much I ask, no one can tell me where she is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t live in the palace. Very few people know where to find the princess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t live in the palace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right. She lives in a small house on the far side of the palace grounds. If you want, I can\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>guide you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would be very grateful if you did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen follow me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cassian guided Sirius to Abril. That day, she was working in her garden. Sirius stared at the beautiful redhead in front of him and asked Cassian,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that the princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is where she lives?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is the princess living in such a humble way?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently, she likes it here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cassian approached the princess and said, \u201cHello Abril, this is Sirius.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello Princess,\u201d Sirius greeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abril felt uncomfortable before Sirius. He looked at her up and down as everyone else did, judging her without even knowing her. She hid her mud\u2013stained hands behind her back and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to meet you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been looking for the princess for quite some time. I will be your magic tutor,\u201d Sirius said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abril remembered that the king had told her that she should learn the principles of magic, but she considered it pointless since she possessed no magic. She said, \u201cI don\u2019t possess magic. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary for me to learn such a thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an order from the king. It doesn\u2019t matter if you consider it necessary or not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abril couldn\u2019t complete her sentence as Sirius said,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I just wanted to introduce myself. We will begin your lessons tomorrow.\u2019re sure you are\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The duties of a spouse\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>at the palace. I will come by mid\u2013morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abril nodded. Sirius left after saying goodbye.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough Sirius is a serious guy, he is a good person. He is also a good teacher. You will surely learn a lot from him. Cassian said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why His Majesty wants me to learn the principles of magic. What good is there in learning that which you do not possess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou never know. Maybe you do possess magic, but it hasn\u2019t awakened yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never heard of such a thing. For everyone who possesses magic, it awakens before they turn six. It\u2019s not that my magic hasn\u2019t awakened, it\u2019s just that I don\u2019t possess such a thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cassian wanted to tell Abril that she was wrong, that she did possess magic. But if his brother hadn\u2019t told her, he didn\u2019t think he should either, so he remained silent. That day, he stayed and watched Abril tend to her plants, and afterward, they shared some snacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The butler went to fetch Abril during the afternoon and took her to the palace. Cassian wondered why they had come for her so early. Normally, they always took her at dusk to prepare her and take her to the king\u2019s chambers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the princess\u2019s mud\u2013stained dress, the butler asked the maids to give her a bath and change her clothes. Afterward, they took her to a room where a middle\u2013aged woman was waiting. She introduced herself to Abril with a curtsy and said, \u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. I am Lady Elizabeth Cromer. I will be instructing Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you very much,\u201d Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s begin the lesson. Please, take a seat, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The maids served tea and pastries. Afterward, Lady Elizabeth ordered the maids to withdraw. Once alone, Elizabeth gave Abril a gentle smile. That was the first time Abril felt that someone didn\u2019t look at her with hatred or contempt, but on the contrary, treated her like the queen. Lady Elizabeth had never for once called her \u201cPrincess,\u201d as the others did, reminding her that although she had married the king, she was not considered a queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope Your Majesty feels comfortable with me. If you have any doubts or questions about what I will be teaching you, I hope Your Majesty asks freely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Lady Elizabeth,\u201d Abril said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe butler told me that I should give you the education of a wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lady Elizabeth took out a book and said, \u201cI will teach you everything you need to ki.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>about the\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&lt; The duties of a spouse\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>duties and obligations of a wife in the bedchamber. Have you ever been taught anything about this\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>subject?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, but I have read some books.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour Majesty, could you tell me what you have learned?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course. The books said that if a couple kisses and sleeps in each other\u2019s arms, they will have a\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth felt a certain tenderness upon hearing the princess. She smiled gently and said, \u201cFor a couple to have a baby, something more is needed, Your Majesty. Kisses and hugs are essential for the intimacy of a couple, but they are not enough to create a baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right, Your Majesty. Kisses are only the beginning. Today, I will explain to you as much as possible how babies are made, so pay close attention. And as I mentioned before, if you have any questions, don\u2019t hesitate to ask.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright.\u201d Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>5\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He Threw Away and Sold to the Devil 20 The duties of a spouse\u00a0 $25 Points\u00a0 After Sirius finished reading [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-his-regret-their-knees-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
