Cassian wondered if what his brother said was true, seeing that he seemed so calm as if Abril meant nothing more than a simple tool. He let go of her hand and said, \u201cHer magic makes wounds heal. It must be the same with her, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went to the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going, Lessan?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo interrogate that servant. I want to know why she did this to her. You take care of her while I\u2019m gone.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went to the dungeon where they were holding the servant. When she saw him enter her cell, she trembled in fear because the king seemed furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you attack the princess?\u201d he asked, his voice as cold as ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat damned woman\u2019s father killed my husband on the battlefield! It was only right that I did the same to her!\u201d She said without remorse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me, who ordered you to kill her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one. I only did it for revenge. Your Majesty wanted to kill her too, right? Everyone in the kingdom wants her dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat rubbish are you saying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty hates her too, for being the daughter of your enemy! You want her dead too! I only did Your Majesty a favor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re completely insane.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m only telling the truth! Even though she\u2019s your wife, you haven\u2019t consummated your marriage. Your Majesty has ignored her since she arrived here. Your Majesty has never considered her his queen! She\u2019s just the princess of the enemy kingdom, a sinner who must pay for everything she has done!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took the sword from one of the guards and slit the servant\u2019s throat. As she choked on her own blood, he looked at her with contempt and said, \u201cThis will be the fate of anyone who dares to touch my wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro turned and left the dungeon. As he walked through the halls of the palace, the servant\u2019s words echoed in his mind. Abril had been attacked because of him, because he had\u00a0<\/p>\n
never treated her like his wife. Even if he didn\u2019t like her, she should have had his respect. He knew this perfectly well. However, he had only ignored her, forgetting that she existed, letting her live a miserable life, and making everyone think that she deserved to be punished for the sins her father had committed. For all his sins, she had to pay even though she was just an innocent young\u00a0<\/p>\n
woman who was not to be blamed for anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro returned to his room. Cassian was by Abril\u2019s side, waiting for her to wake up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should go to your chambers, Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to the maid?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she say why she attacked the princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor revenge and hatred,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that all?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you going to do now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she recovers, are you going to let her go back to that house? Let her be alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. She can\u2019t go back there. It\u2019s dangerous. Someone else could try to kill her, like now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not going to like it when you tell her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but I can\u2019t keep the promise I made to her anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian walked towards the door. As he passed Alessandro, he said, \u201cTake good care of her.\u201d When Cassian left, Alessandro approached the bed, sat on the edge, and caressed Abril\u2019s cheek. She was cold. She looked so fragile, so small. For the first time, he realized that she really wasn\u2019t the enemy. She was just another victim of that war that had brought so much pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was unconscious for three days. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Alessandro. He put his hand on her forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

< Take good care of her\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thirsty,\u201d Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro took a glass of water, helped her up, and helped her to drink. When she finished, she\u00a0<\/p>\n
said, \u201cMy stomach hurts a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were stabbed. It\u2019s only natural that it hurts. The maid who attacked you? She won\u2019t hurt you again. She\u2019s dead. I took care of her personally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t do anything to her, but even so, she\u2026\u201d Abril\u2019s voice broke, and she began to cry. \u201cWhy do I have to pay for something I didn\u2019t do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gently stroked her hair, comforting her. \u201cDon\u2019t cry, or your wound might open.\u201d He wiped her tears and handed her a handkerchief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril blew her nose and said, \u201cI would like to go home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to recover.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was aware that she was in no condition to go home, that the best thing she could do was wait to recover, so she stopped insisting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the next few days, Abril realized that the servants had changed the way they treated her. They were respectful and courteous to her. One day, when Cassian had come to visit, she said, \u201cThe maids are acting strange.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHas anyone been rude to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, on the contrary, they have all been very kind and respectful. That\u2019s what\u2019s weird.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are part of the royal family, Abril. So, their treating you that way is normal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but I\u2019ve never received such treatment, so it\u2019s strange to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anyone is disrespectful or rude, don\u2019t hesitate to report. That person will pay with their life for insulting the royal family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had been listening to the conversation between Abril and Cassian. As he entered, he\u00a0<\/p>\n
said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are my wife. You have complete freedom to punish anyone who dares to offend you. You can punish them however you wish, no matter what, even if that means death.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never do that. I couldn\u2019t bear for someone to die because of me. I am not like my\u00a0<\/p>\n
who is mad for blood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
