Please don\u2019t kill me\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was watching the sunset when she heard the footsteps of someone approaching. She turned to see who it was and was surprised to see the maid who had been bothering her, and she asked her, \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI came to look for the princess. It\u2019s been days since she came to the main palace. I was wondering what the reason could be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo away, you don\u2019t have to serve me here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, and that\u2019s not really why I came.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid pulled out a knife she had hidden. Abril was frightened, backed away, and asked, \u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday I will kill the princess, or rather the beloved daughter of King Venobich. I want him to suffer when he finds out that his beloved daughter is dead. That way, he will feel the same as I felt when he killed my husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, I think you\u2019re wrong. I don\u2019t matter to my father. If he cared, he wouldn\u2019t have sent me here. No one would give away their most beloved daughter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe yes, maybe no. We\u2019ll see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease wait, if you kill me, surely King Alessandro won\u2019t let it go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid began to laugh hysterically and said, \u201cDon\u2019t make me laugh, princess. Do you really think His Majesty cares about you even a little? If he really cared about you, you would be treated like a queen, but he keeps calling you \u201cPrincess.\u201d He clearly doesn\u2019t consider you his queen, not even his wife, since you haven\u2019t even had your first night together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true, I sleep every day in the king\u2019s chambers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said it yourself, you only sleep. You still haven\u2019t spent your first night together, you still haven\u2019t consummated your marriage. That\u2019s something everyone knows. I think if I killed you, His Majesty wouldn\u2019t even notice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril backed away a little more. The maid walked in long strides, shortening the distance between them. She ran the sharp blade of the knife close to her face and said, \u201cI think I\u2019ll destroy that pretty face first. I want to leave you the same way your father left my husband, unrecognizable, but I won\u2019t touch your hair. I want them to know it\u2019s you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was terrified. She began to tremble. She was afraid of what that maid was going to do to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

< Please don\u2019t kill me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t hurt me, I beg you, let me go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not. I won\u2019t let you escape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The maid slowly lowered the knife down Abril\u2019s body, stopped at her heart, and said, \u201cMaybe I\u2019d better stab you in the heart first?\u201d She continued. \u201cOr cut you open? I don\u2019t know where to start.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril began to cry, and with tears in her eyes, she pleaded again, \u201cDon\u2019t hurt me, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid seemed crazy. She pressed the knife against Abril\u2019s stomach, cutting the fabric and skin slightly, and said, \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll start here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril tried to escape by pushing her, but she didn\u2019t even move. A black smoke began to envelop the maid. A chill ran down Abril\u2019s spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t think you can escape me,\u201d the maid said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid plunged the knife into her belly to the hilt and said with a wicked smile, \u201cDie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had gone to look for Abril. When he arrived at the small house where she lived, he saw that there was a maid with her. He felt something strange seeing the maid so close to Abril, so he approached silently, but when he was close enough to them, he saw fear, pure terror, in Abril\u2019s eyes. With teary eyes, she whispered, \u201cHelp me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro hurried over and said to the maid, \u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the king\u2019s voice, the maid pushed the princess to the ground and ran off. Seeing that the maid had stabbed the princess, Alessandro used his magic to trap her in a whirlwind,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro rushed to help the princess. With tears, she repeated over and over again, \u201cI don\u2019t want to die, I don\u2019t want to die.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took her in his arms and said, \u201cAnd you\u2019re not going to die. I won\u2019t let you die.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After saying that, Alessandro used his wind magic to rise and fly to the main palace. When he arrived at the gates with the bloodied princess, he shouted for the royal physician.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril began to lose consciousness, everything became blurry, and in the end, she fainted, begging God in her mind again and again to help her, that she didn\u2019t want to die.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the doctor was treating Abril, Alessandro sent the guards to look for the maid who had attacked Abril. As he returned to his chambers to see how the princess was doing, he ran into Cassian along the way. Cassian asked him, very upset,\u00a0<\/p>\n

< Please don\u2019t kill me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow is the princess? They told me someone attacked her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor is treating her right now. I was just going to see how she was doing,\u201dAlessandro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro started walking away when Cassian asked again, \u201cThe person who attacked her, have they caught her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Alessandro replied and continued walking. He waited outside the room until the doctor\u00a0<\/p>\n
came out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow is the princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe wound is deep, and she has lost a lot of blood. I did everything in my power. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the doctor left, Cassian entered the room. He took Abril\u2019s hand. She looked pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did they do this to her?\u201d Cassian asked, squeezing her hand slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, but I\u2019ll find out soon enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWill she be alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope so, we need her to heal your injury.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was annoyed to see his brother\u2019s indifference towards Abril and said in a voice charged with indignation, \u201cAre you serious? Is that all you care about? Don\u2019t you care at all what happens to her? She\u2019s your wife, Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think I don\u2019t care?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what it seems like, Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you\u2019re wrong, Cassian. I\u2019m very worried about her, more than you can imagine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
