Words that are not forgotten\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian didn\u2019t want to be just her friend, but he knew he couldn\u2019t be anything else. They could only\u00a0<\/p>\n
be friends since she was his brother\u2019s wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro returned shortly after and asked his brother, \u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d He replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s passed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian stood up, and Alessandro said, \u201cAre you sure you don\u2019t want to stay and rest a little\u00a0<\/p>\n
longer?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not necessary, brother. Resting a moment is enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian passed by his brother and said, \u201cI\u2019m telling you the truth, I\u2019m fine. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian walked to the door, and before leaving, he said, \u201cGoodnight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He left the room and closed the door. Leaning against a nearby wall, the pain in his leg had\u00a0<\/p>\n
disappeared, but not the pain in his heart. That pain couldn\u2019t be erased with the princess\u2019s magic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, he wished he hadn\u2019t realized his feelings, as it only caused him pain. But he\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t tell his brother how he felt, nor could he ask his brother to give him the princess. Because\u00a0<\/p>\n
even if Alessandro didn\u2019t admit it, he also harbored feelings for the princess. Cassian had already\u00a0<\/p>\n
realized that. Without him realizing it, the princess had become someone important to his brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian wondered how long it would take his brother to realize that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril had been a little worried about Cassian and asked Alessandro, \u201cDo you really think Cassian is\u00a0<\/p>\n
alright? He didn\u2019t seem like himself. I touched his forehead, but he didn\u2019t seem to have a fever. But\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still a little worried.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had realized that by touching the princess, his brother became more relieved. Then he told her that he had no doubt that Cassian was fine He said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, my brother is fine. How are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVery well,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLie down. I\u2019d like to see how your wound is doing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril obeyed Alessandro. After he checked the wound and re\u2013bandaged it, she quickly lowered her\u00a0<\/p>\n
nightgown. Sometimes Alessandro looked at her as if he wanted to devour her, which scared her a\u00a0<\/p>\n
little.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYour wound is much better. It\u2019s barely visible now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I think I\u2019ll be able to stop wearing the bandages soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it will scar,\u201d the king said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor said the same thing. That the medicine the mage made is very effective.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll ask him to do more in case you hurt yourself or something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough it may not seem like it, I don\u2019t get hurt often. In fact, for a while now, I haven\u2019t even had a slight fever. I\u2019m in very good health now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad to hear that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro laid down next to Abril and said, \u201cIn a few weeks, I\u2019ll be inspecting the kingdom. I\u2019ll be gone for a few days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be good while Your Majesty is away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour wound has healed quite well. I think you could come with me if you wish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Abril had arrived at the palace, she had never left. She felt like it would be a fantasy to be able to go outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I really come?\u201d She asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. I was also thinking of asking Cassian to accompany us. He hardly ever leaves the palace. I think it would do him good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril\u2019s eyes lit up with excitement, and she asked again, \u201cCan I really go out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, although you won\u2019t be able to leave my side while we\u2019re gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t. I\u2019ll stay close to you the whole time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow close?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVery, very close,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro moved over Abril and asked, \u201cThis close?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that is what Your Majesty wishes, then it shall be so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kissed her and said, \u201cBut I think it would be a little difficult to walk like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kissed her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kisses had become commonplace between them, and with each passing day, they grew closer. Abril stared at him, and he asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing. It\u2019s just that this feels strange.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we met, you told me that you would never treat me like your wife, that you would never touch my body, that you didn\u2019t know how many men I had been with before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou still remember that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a good memory, and some things are hard to forget. But I can assure you that I have never been with another man. The only one who has touched my body has been Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro knew it without her telling him. With every kiss, with every touch, with every caress he gave her, she showed her innocence, her purity, she showed him that he was the first to defile her. He stroked her hair and replied, \u201cI was angry that day, and I said a lot of foolish things. Forget everything I said that day. It wasn\u2019t true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril nodded. Alessandro moved aside, put his arms around her, and said, \u201cWe had better leave it here for today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro used his magic to turn off the lights, and in the darkness, Abril said, \u201cGoodnight, Alessandro.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGoodnight,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, when Abril woke up, she found herself alone. The king had already left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She got up and opened the curtains. The sun was shining brightly and it dazzled her. Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she stared at the sky. It was clear, there wasn\u2019t a single cloud in the sky. She didn\u2019t want to be trapped on such a beautiful day. She called for the maids by pulling a cord next to\u00a0<\/p>\n
the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two maids arrived shortly after. One helped her get dressed, and Abril told the other maid that she wanted to have breakfast in the garden, that she should prepare everything needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some time ago, those maids would have ignored her. However, all the maids in the palace knew what had happened to the maid who had attacked the princess and were afraid of suffering the same fate if they offended her. So they all obeyed without questioning whatever the princess ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
