* Front know when I fell in havre\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know when I fell in love\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro deeply regretted how he had been treating the princess. Her life had been full of hardship, and marrying him hadn\u2019t changed that. If anything, it had continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro asked Abril to leave the bathroom so he could finish bathing. When he came out, he\u00a0<\/p>\n
found her trying to take off her dress. He approached her, helped her take it off, and asked, \u201cWhat\u00a0<\/p>\n
are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChanging my clothes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can see that, but why didn\u2019t you call one of the maids to help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like depending on others for everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven so, your wound hasn\u2019t healed completely. Don\u2019t do it yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was left with only a light slip. Alessandro lowered his hands to the hem of the dress, his fingers brushing against her bare skin. Abril blushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you\u2019re ashamed to be seen naked? Wasn\u2019t it you who told me a while ago to be proud of my\u00a0<\/p>\n
body?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t mind Your Majesty seeing me, but being touched by you is embarrassing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re very strange, princess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy name is Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
(\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought you didn\u2019t, since Your Majesty always calls me princess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t call me by my name either, even though I\u2019ve asked you to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not the same.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems the same to me. If you don\u2019t want me to call you princess, then don\u2019t call me Your Majesty. I\u2019ll call you by your name if you do the same.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPromise?\u201d Abril asked excitedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Alessandro.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAbril,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just saying your name. You don\u2019t have to answer,\u201d Alessandro said, laughing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril was embarrassed. Her face flushed red. In Alessandro\u2019s eyes, she looked adorable. He put his arm around her waist and placed his hand on the back of her neck. His lips descended and met hers in a kiss. His lips were warm, sweet, and tender. He gave her small kisses at first and gradually deepened the kiss, exploring her mouth with his tongue. He sucked her lips and gave them a little nibble as if he wanted to eat them. The kiss was too much for Abril. Her legs felt weak, and she felt like she would fall if she didn\u2019t hold on. She clung to Alessandro\u2019s robe and gasped his name, a plea for him to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlessandro.\u201d She called with a faint voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that didn\u2019t make him stop. On the contrary, it made him want more. The hand he had on her waist began to slowly descend from her hips to her buttocks. Abril wasn\u2019t comfortable with that kind of touch and said, \u201cAlessandro, please stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro stopped because Abril\u2019s voice was trembling. He seemed to be scaring her. He pulled away from her because if he didn\u2019t, he would end up losing control. He said, \u201cI\u2019ve gotten hot. I\u2019m going to take another bath. Finish getting changed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had gotten carried away, forgetting that Abril hadn\u2019t fully recovered. They couldn\u2019t go any further than kissing, but for a moment he wished they could. He wished he could touch her body, feel her skin, hear her sweet moans of pleasure. Alessandro wondered when he had started having these thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stayed in the bathtub for a long time until he was able to calm down. When he returned to the room, Abril was already in bed. She was awake but pretended to be asleep. It was obvious to Alessandro that she was faking, but he didn\u2019t say anything. He laid down next to her and turned off the lights. He thought he wouldn\u2019t be able to sleep, but he fell asleep quickly. That always happened when he was with Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day he woke up first. He went to train with the soldiers until he was exhausted and then went back to his office to continue his work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the afternoon, Alessandro saw Abril walking in the garden, but that day she wasn\u2019t alone. Cassian was accompanying her. As they walked, she smiled at Cassian. For some reason, that bothered him. It made him feel uncomfortable. He closed the curtains and set to work, but he\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t concentrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When night fell, Alessandro went to the dining room. He always had dinner with his brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he arrived in the dining room, he saw Abril sitting next to Cassian. He was saying something that made her laugh. Alessandro couldn\u2019t hear what it was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Alessandro realized that Abril laughed more when she was with Cassian than with him. It made him have mixed feelings towards his brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Cassian saw his brother arrive, he said, \u201cI told the princess that she could have dinner with us. I hope there is no problem with it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, in fact, you can have dinner with us from now on if you want, Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Alessandro,\u201d Abril said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian realized that they had started calling each other by their first names. He wondered since when the two of them had become so close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When dinner was over, Alessandro helped Abril up and asked, \u201cHow\u2019s your wound? Has it been\u00a0<\/p>\n
hurting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I walked slowly today and sat down to rest several times, but on a bench, not on the ground. I\u2019m fine. The doctor also came and said, I\u2019m doing very well, that soon I\u2019ll be able to go back to my normal life, although I can\u2019t exert myself yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s good. You\u2019ll be able to continue your magic lessons soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro said goodbye to his brother, and as they walked, he continued talking to Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I really have to continue with my magic lessons?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s useless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve already talked about this several times, Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s leave it at that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he watched them leave, Cassian felt uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
6\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few months ago, he had been the closest to the princess, the one who understood her best, but at some point, that had changed, and his brother had taken his place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He laughed when he realized what he was thinking. In reality, that had always been his brother\u2019s place since he was her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian hadn\u2019t been aware of his feelings until that moment. He liked the princess, and it wasn\u2019t a\u00a0<\/p>\n

Posite\u00a0<\/p>\n
friendly one but a romantic one. He didn\u2019t know how or when, but he had fallen in love with Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian clenched his hands into fists. She was the first woman he had fallen in love with, but it was impossible. She was his brother\u2019s wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
