I\u2019ll wait for your return\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril tasted the lemonade, it was fresh and sweet, and she felt the heat dissipate a little. Alessandro brushed a strand of hair that had escaped her braid and tucked it behind her ear, then asked, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very hot, your cheeks are still red.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his brother flirting with Abril made Cassian feel uneasy. He stood up and said, \u201cI\u2019ll step out for a moment, I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t go too far.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Cassian left, Alessandro said to Abril, \u201cI\u2019m not upset that you came. I enjoyed seeing you, but right now the port isn\u2019t a very safe place. I was planning to show it to you once everything was sorted out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry for not listening to what you said.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll leave after finishing my lemonade. I\u2019ll wait for you tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise to show you the port properly next time, and we\u2019ll take another walk on the beach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Abril finished her lemonade, she asked, \u201cWill you come for dinner tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro saw a shadow of sadness on the princess\u2019s face. He approached her, gave her a soft kiss on the lips, and said, \u201cBut I\u2019ll try.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He kissed her again, deeper this time. Abril wrapped her arms around his neck and enjoyed his kisses. Alessandro hated the idea of having to leave, but he had to continue searching for the pirates. Every day that passed was another day they kidnapped people to sell as slaves. for As he pulled his lips away from hers, he said, \u201cIf I don\u2019t make it in time for dinner, wait up me. I\u2019ll try to come back early tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018ll wait for youn (shun\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Cassian returned, they had separated, and Abrt seemed more cheerful than bulge the wondered if they had reconciled Alessandro said to Cassian, Go straight home, don\u2019t gee distracted on the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian had heard from some guards what the pirates were doing. Kidnapping people to turn them into slaves. At that moment, he realized how reckless he had been to leave the mansion with Abril. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, we will. And I\u2019m sorry for coming. I realize now how foolish\u00a0<\/p>\n
it was.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t tell you what was happening, so don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019ll be off. Good luck with your work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro accompanied them to the carriage. Before Abril got in, Alessandro said, Till see you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the carriage started moving, Cassian said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, in the end, my brother was a bit upset.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, thank you for bringing me. Even though it was brief, I enjoyed seeing His Majesty\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see you\u2019re getting along better with Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril nervously moved her hands and replied, \u201cYes, I think we\u2019re getting along better lately\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope things continue to go well for you both.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI also hope this lasts a bit longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they started to leave the port, Abril looked out the carriage window to see the scenery. She saw a completely black carriage approaching them and stared at it for a moment before saying, \u201cThere\u2019s a strange carriage coming towards us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian looked out the window and saw a completely black, windowless carriage. He knew it was strange. He shouted to the coachman, \u201cHurry up, they\u2019re chasing us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The coachman tightened the reins and said, \u201cHold on tight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The carriage swayed, and Abril clung tightly to her seat and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s happening?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re chasing us, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s for anything good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian drew his sword while looking through the window and said, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, I\u2019ll protect you. I won\u2019t let them harm you, I promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The coachman made the horses go as fast as they could, but the pursuing carriage quickly caught up and started shooting arrows at them. Cassian told Abril to duck, and he did the\u00a0<\/p>\n

same. The carriage soon came to a stop; the coachman had been unable to dodge the arrows as he was in the front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The carriage door burst open, and several disheveled men entered. Cassian killed the nearest one, preventing him from reaching Abril, who was on the floor screaming and crying, \u201cPlease stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Abril cried uncontrollably, Cassian used his magic. Roots emerged from the ground, trapping their attackers. For a moment, it seemed like everything would be fine, that they would win. However, the others threw some vials on the ground, and a strange smoke began to emerge. Cassian knew what the smoke was. He covered his mouth with his sleeve and said to Abril, \u201cDon\u2019t breathe, this smoke is not good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril held her breath for a moment, but then she felt hands grabbing her and started to scream, \u201cLet go of me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian couldn\u2019t use his sword because the smoke blocked his vision, nor could he use his magic. He could no longer hold his breath and ended up inhaling the smoke. His vision blurred, and his body started to paralyze. He tried to grab Abril, but he couldn\u2019t. The smoke dissipated, and Cassian watched helplessly as they took Abril and loaded her into the completely black carriage. Among the kidnappers, he saw a familiar face; it was the servant who had brought them the lemonade. After that, Cassian passed out, and Abril also fainted, not knowing what was happening or why she was being captured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
