Cassian let go of Abril\u2019s hand, facing his brother\u2019s stern look that seemed to ask when he would let go. He stayed a few steps behind as they headed into a house near the port.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon entering the house, Alessandro asked a servant who was arranging some flowers to bring fresh drinks for their guests. The servant looked at the king\u2019s hand holding that of a beautiful redhead. He knew that red hair was rare and that only direct descendants of the Venobich family had it. He immediately deduced who the woman was: the king\u2019s wife. He bowed his head, and for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Alessandro walked past, but Abril saw something sinister and terrifying in his smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt a chill run down her spine, as if she knew what was in his heart, and it was nothing good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro led them to a small room. Cassian sat on a brown sofa, Alessandro sat on the one opposite him, and Abril remained standing, not quite sure what to do. Alessandro took her hand and said, \u201cSit down, you look tired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril sat next to him, nervously moving her hands as she usually did when she was very nervous. Alessandro held her hands and said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to scare you a moment\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just that I\u2019m very tired, and this place isn\u2019t very safe right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The servant entered the room with a tray in his hands, offered them lemonade, and then prepared to cross the door. But before doing so, he looked at the princess for a moment and then left, leaving them alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
