When Cassian got up, the first thing he did was go look for his brother. When he opened the door to his room, he found Alessandro; apparently, he had also come to look for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWere you headed somewhere?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was coming to find you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you been able to find out anything?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d better come in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro entered the room, Cassian closed the door and said to him, \u201cThe intelligence guild couldn\u2019t find any information about Abril\u2019s mother; it\u2019s as if she didn\u2019t exist before marrying King Venobich.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat can\u2019t be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I was waiting to get the information about Abril\u2019s mother, I met a girl who had a strange book.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you found a girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be ridiculous, Lessan, that\u2019s not it. What I mean is that she told me about light magic, the magic that Abril possesses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you won\u2019t believe what she told me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat only elves possess light magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo elves exist?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, yes, but they live hidden in their kingdom, and that\u2019s why no one knows about. them. But as I was saying, it\u2019s a very rare magic, even among elves, only those of noble blood, the elven royalty, possess it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Abril is human.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think she is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you telling me my wife is an elf?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, although not entirely. I think she\u2019s only a half\u2013elf. I think Abril\u2019s mother was an elf, which is why no one knows anything about her besides her name, Sophia, and that she was King Venobich\u2019s first wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s insane.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s the case, but otherwise, how could you explain that she continues to communicate with Abril after death through dreams? No wizard has been able to do something like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Abril not only has royal blood from King Venobich but also from her mother, who was an elven princess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I think, but I\u2019m not entirely sure. I\u2019ll go back to the guild and ask for information about the elves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
do it while you were there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey charge you for every question you ask there! I ran out of money; if I had asked another question, I would have ended up losing my shirt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose that\u2019s a good reason.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI really don\u2019t understand why King Venobich gave you his daughter; he must have known about her lineage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he sent her here to die. By sending her, he didn\u2019t want to seal peace, but war. He wanted her to be the reason to start a war again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut things didn\u2019t go as he wanted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, because he didn\u2019t count on me ending up falling in love with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what do you plan to do? Will you tell her about her lineage?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe talks to her mother; she could ask her, find out the true story behind all this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe you\u2019re right, but what good would it do her to know her lineage? Besides, we\u2019re not even sure of anything; we don\u2019t know if elves really exist. Maybe it\u2019s just a story.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you afraid of, brother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it doesn\u2019t seem that way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
< The Best Thing is to Tell the Truth\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFind out a bit more about the elves, then I\u2019ll think about what to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that\u2019s your decision, I\u2019ll respect it, but keep in mind that lying leads to nothing good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already know that, Cas. I\u2019m not saying I won\u2019t tell her, just that I\u2019ll do it when we have more than just simple suppositions, nothing more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside in the hallway, the voices of two children were heard. Cassian asked, \u201cAre there children in this place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they are two orphans that Abril found on the street and brought here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what does she plan to do with them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, keep them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian put a hand on his brother\u2019s shoulder and said, \u201cWell, you wanted a kid, now you\u2019ve got two.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good idea. If I take them to the palace as my adopted children, the nobles will make a big fuss and won\u2019t stop until I have a blood child. You know they still haven\u2019t given up on the idea of having another wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not planning to do that, are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro touched the marriage mark on his hand and said, \u201cIf I didn\u2019t consider that idea before, I certainly won\u2019t now. I just want to protect those kids; I\u2019ll find someone to look after\u00a0<\/p>\n
them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could send them to the academy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I promised Abril that I would find them a family, and that\u2019s what I intend to do. I\u2019ll keep my promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro headed towards the door and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, I\u2019ll introduce you to them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon leaving the room, Alessandro approached Abril and the children, who were touching her hair and asking,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this really your hair color?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
