Freedom\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went to find Abril. She was in her room, happily finishing her hair when he arrived. She seemed like a little girl, so excited. That night, she had barely slept from the excitement. Alessandro had noticed because she had moved around a lot and hadn\u2019t let him sleep either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you ready?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, shall we go now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro shook his head. \u201cFirst, let\u2019s eat. It\u2019s a bit early, but we won\u2019t be able to stop on the way, so we\u2019ll eat now and then leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro extended his hand to Abril and said, \u201cThen let\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She took his hand, and as they walked through the hallways, she wondered when holding his hand had become so normal. When they arrived at the dining room, Cassian greeted Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood morning, Cassian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian saw how happy she was and asked, \u201cAre you ready to leave?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. Will the carriage ride be long?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro answered her question, \u201cIt will be a few hours in the carriage, and then we\u2019ll use a scroll to transport ourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril remembered how awful she had felt when she arrived in the Kingdom of Cosset. At that moment, all the excitement she had felt disappeared. Alessandro asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo we have to use the scrolls?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, we\u2019ll have to use them to get to different parts of the kingdom. Otherwise, it would take too long to do the inspection. I can\u2019t be away from the palace for too long. Is there a problem with that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just that traveling with a scroll was horrible for me. Maybe it\u2019s best if I stay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually, only the first trip is unpleasant. I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll have any problem doing it again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, so don\u2019t worry. Everything will be fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
125 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
After eating, they headed to the carriage. Alessandro and Abril sat together, and Cassian had to sit in front of them, finding it annoying to watch them flirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once they had moved a bit away from the palace, Abril looked out the window to admire the landscape. Alessandro placed his hand on her back and said, \u201cBe careful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril continued looking into the distance and responded, \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro only saw trees around them and asked, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe landscape; it\u2019s very beautiful. When I arrived here, I couldn\u2019t appreciate it. I\u2019m glad I can do so now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For some reason, Alessandro felt bad. For a long time, he had done the same thing as King Venobich: kept her locked up, isolated from everyone and everything. He wondered how she could be so kind and sweet despite everything she had suffered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Abril asked, \u201cWhy are we stopping?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll use a magic scroll, so sit properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril adjusted herself and wished it would be over soon, and above all, that she wouldn\u2019t feel sick this time. Alessandro noticed how nervous and scared Abril was. He took her hand and said, \u201cRelax, nothing will happen. Everything will be fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After saying that, a light enveloped them. Abril closed her eyes tightly while squeezing Alessandro\u2019s hand. A few minutes later, Alessandro said, \u201cYou can open your eyes now. We\u2019ve arrived.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril opened her eyes fearfully. She seemed to be fine, no pain, no nausea. She felt perfectly well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you alright?\u201d Alessandro asked, somewhat worried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually, it\u2019s only the first time you use teleportation scrolls that you feel sick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad it was like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The coachman opened the door and said, \u201cWe have arrived at our destination, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro got out first, followed by Cassian. Abril stayed looking out the window. In the distance, she could see the sea and ships sailing across the vast ocean. Seeing that she hadn\u2019t gotten out, Alessandro called her, \u201cAbril, you\u2019re the only one left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro offered his hand to help her down. She took his hand, and upon descending, she saw a beautiful landscape. She stood there, enchanted, looking at everything with great amazement and excitement,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you like it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beautiful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome to the port city of Lasset,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril hugged Alessandro and said, \u201cThank you for bringing me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian felt as if needles were pricking his heart every time he saw them hugging. He said, \u201cI\u2019m a bit tired, I\u2019ll go rest for a while. I\u2019ll see you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian walked towards a beautiful house behind them. When Cassian walked away, Abril asked, \u201cAre we staying here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly until I supervise, that everything is functioning well in this city. Then we\u2019ll leave\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril looked towards the port, and Alessandro asked, \u201cDo you want to go see the beach?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re not tired, yes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro called one of the servants to prepare his horse since the beach was a bit far. While they waited, Abril dedicated herself to looking around. When the horse was brought, Alessandro called Abril, who was admiring some beautiful camellias blooming in the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome, it\u2019s time to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro helped her onto the horse, then mounted himself. As they set off, Abril was afraid of falling. She closed her eyes and hugged Alessandro tightly, burying her face in his chest. As they moved forward, Alessandro said, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, I won\u2019t let you fall.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro held her waist with one arm. Hearing his voice, Abril separated a bit and looked ahead. The gentle sea breeze caressed her face and made her hair flutter. At that moment, she felt as free as the birds soaring in the sky, as the ocean flowing with total freedom, as the wind that no one could catch. She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with fresh air, and said in barely a whisper, \u201cThis is what freedom feels like.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
