Alessandro cupped Abril\u2019s face in his hands. He could see disbelief in her eyes. She didn\u2019t believe what he was saying and he asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you believe what I\u2019m saying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I don\u2019t know what to believe.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro leaned in, pressing his lips against hers. He was so close that Abril could feel his breath. He gazed at her lips with desire, as if he were looking at a delicious dessert he longed to taste. Getting closer to her lips, he asked, \u201cMay I kiss you? The maids are gone. We\u2019re completely\u00a0<\/p>\n
alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril yearned to kiss him too, so she nodded. Their lips met in a sweet, soft kiss. He nibbled her lower lip lightly and whispered, \u201cYour lips are as sweet as honey. They make me want to devour\u00a0<\/p>\n
them in one bite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That frightened Abril, especially since he had actually bitten her lip, although very gently. She covered her mouth with her hands and said, \u201cYou can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro hadn\u2019t meant it literally, but Abril was so innocent at times that she had actually thought he was going to bite off her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro couldn\u2019t help but laugh and said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a figure of speech. I\u2019m not going to eat your lips. How else would I kiss you later?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you bit me just now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI really need to summon Lady Elizabeth. This time, I\u2019ll tell her to be more explicit when explaining the relationship between a man and a woman. Sometimes your innocence surprises me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I\u2019m ignorant about some things, but it\u2019s not my fault that there was no one to teach me, and the books weren\u2019t very explicit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro stroked her hair and said, \u201cI know that, and I\u2019m not blaming you for it. That\u2019s why I want\u00a0<\/p>\n
them to teach\u00a0<\/p>\n
don\u2019t know.\u201d what you you what\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll try my best to learn,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you will. Now, let\u2019s take a walk before I go back to work,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro extended his hand to Abril. Timidly, she took it, and they strolled through the gardens hand in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Alessandro returned to his office, he sent for Lady Elizabeth. Before she continued his wife\u2019s education, there were a few things he wanted to make clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lady Elizabeth answered the king\u2019s summons that very day. The butler led her to the king\u2019s office, knocked on the door, and after announcing her, ushered her inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lady Elizabeth curtsied and greeted Alessandro with grace and respect. \u201cLong live the Sun King of the Cosset Kingdom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for responding to my summons so promptly, Lady Elizabeth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am at your Majesty\u2019s service. May I inquire as to the reason for my summons?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to teach my wife about the relationship between a man and a woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already done so, Your Majesty. What exactly do you wish me to teach her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife is as innocent as a child. I want you to explain to her in detail the relationship between a\u00a0<\/p>\n
man and a woman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is all. You may leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lady Elizabeth didn\u2019t move. She seemed to want to say something but couldn\u2019t quite muster the\u00a0<\/p>\n
courage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there something you wish to say?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about your wife, Your Majesty.\u201d She replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re about to say something bad about her, I advise you to bite your tongue and leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never say anything bad about her. I have only spent a short time with her, but it was enough to realize that she is a good girl. She is sweet and kind, but also fragile. I only wanted to ask Your Majesty not to be too rough with her. I know what all the nobles think of her, and I know they are wrong. I believe she will be a good queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re on her side?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not on anyone\u2019s side. I\u2019m just expressing what I feel. She may be very innocent, but there\u2019s something special about her. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I think she will make a good queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that all you wanted to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is one last thing. When a woman does not receive the support and respect of her husband, she does not receive it from the servants either. The true power of a woman comes from the love her husband shows her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Would you give me the princess?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you telling me this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I know that the princess was attacked by one of the servants. I just wanted to make you aware of that. If you continue to show a clear disinterest in the princess, her life may be in danger\u00a0<\/p>\n
again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already know that, and I\u2019m making sure that no one dares to touch my wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is all I have to say. If Your Majesty excuses me, I shall take my leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may leave. And don\u2019t forget what I told you. Take care of my wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you wish, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Lady Elizabeth left, Alessandro realized something. Everyone who met Abril ended up charmed by her innocence, even him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night at dinner, Cassian didn\u2019t appear. Abril and Alessandro dined alone. He asked her, \u201cHave you seen Cassian today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. We were supposed to take a walk in the garden, but he never showed up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro was a little worried about his brother, so after dinner, he told Abril he\u2019d be with her\u00a0<\/p>\n
shortly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro asked the servants if they knew where his brother was, but no one had seen him since the afternoon. Alessandro went to look for him in his room, but he wasn\u2019t there. So he went to look for him in their secret place. Whenever his brother was in pain, he would go to their mother\u2019s old room. It was like a hiding place where they could rest when they felt tormented and weary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was in their mother\u2019s room. He hadn\u2019t been near the princess that day, and the pain in his leg had returned. It had been so long since the last time it had hurt him this much. The pain seemed to have gotten even worse that day. He was writhing in agony, lying on the sofa, when Alessandro entered and said, \u201cThere you are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian covered his face with his arms to hide the trail of tears and said, \u201cI want to be alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t seen Abril all day. Has your leg started to hurt again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine. I just want to be alone. You can go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. I\u2019m not leaving you to suffer alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Would you give me the miners\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t you just go and leave me in peace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
125 Puntz\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you\u2019re my brother, and I\u2019m worried about you. I couldn\u2019t go back to my room knowing\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u2019re in pain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro approached Cassian and asked, \u201cCan you get up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine, Lessan.\u201d Cassian lied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you\u2019re not. So get up, and let\u2019s go see Abril. Or I\u2019ll bring her here. Your choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, have you fallen in love with the princess?\u201d Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s with that question?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw you kissing her in the garden today. It surprised me. I didn\u2019t think you two were that close.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s my wife. I do more than just kiss her. But stop asking silly questions and get up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t\u2026done it with her yet, have you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you asking that, Cassian?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust answer me. Have you done it with her? Yes or no.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. We haven\u2019t had our first night as a couple yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see. Lessan, if I asked you to give me the princess, would you do it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian, what are you trying to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026just\u2026\u201d Cassian trailed off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was asking a stupid question. Alessandro would never give him Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing, Lessan. I\u2019m talking nonsense because of the pain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro helped Cassian to his feet. Cassian leaned on his shoulder until they reached\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro\u2019s room. Before entering, Alessandro knocked on the door and asked, \u201cAbril, it\u2019s me and Cassian. May we come in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril opened the door and replied, \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was wearing a nightgown and a robe over it. When she saw Alessandro helping Cassian, she asked, \u201cWhat happened to you, Cassian? You look terrible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro helped Cassian to the sofa. He told Abril to sit next to Cassian while he fetched a doctor. Abril touched Cassian\u2019s forehead. He immediately felt the pain miraculously disappear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
done the pemeers?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cYou don\u2019t seem to have a fever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
$20 P00\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s because it was just a little dizzy spell. I\u2019ll be alright and leave in no time. Thank you for worrying about me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to thank me. We\u2019re friends, and friends help each other out. So if you need anything, don\u2019t hesitate to ask.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
