A Noble Queen\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Otis calmed down, he looked at Onil, who was coming out of the mansion and running towards them. Otis and Joe ran to meet him and gave him a warm hug. While the children had their emotional reunion, Abril approached Alessandro and said to him, \u201cWhat you have done is incredible, thank you for giving all those children a home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs king, it\u2019s my duty to look after my kingdom, just like you do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, you were the first to take in Otis and Joe, you brought them along and have been looking after them, which is something worthy of admiration in a queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the first time Abril heard Alessandro call her his queen. She looked at him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not a queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you are. You\u2019re my wife, and even though you haven\u2019t been officially crowned yet, you will be soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril had never received a good education. She knew she was ignorant of palace matters and not prepared to be a queen, and she said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I don\u2019t do a good job?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will do well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know? I didn\u2019t receive any education. I don\u2019t know how to be a queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took Abril\u2019s hand, kissed the back of it, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a good ruler isn\u2019t about the education you get, but the kind of heart you have. Your heart is good, that\u2019s why I know you will be an excellent queen, because you care about others, because you want to help them just as I do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you really think I\u2019ll make a good queen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t become a good queen; you already are one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otis, Joe, and Onil approached Abril and Alessandro. Otis said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOnil, she is the one I told you about, she is the one who has been taking care of us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onil said to her,\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for taking in Otis and Joe. Thanks to that, we were able to save the other children from Baron Terren.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onil addressed Alessandro,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd thank you too, sir knight, for rescuing my friends from that terrible place. Now I see that not all nobles are bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otis responded proudly,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you, they are good nobles, they can be trusted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right, I\u2019m glad I took your advice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stroked Onil\u2019s head and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m relieved to know all the kids are okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onil took Abril\u2019s hand and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re better than okay, come on, I\u2019ll show you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the children were playing in the garden, all wearing new clothes. Although they were thin, they had big smiles on their faces and looked extremely happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore, we were alone, but now we have each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otis and Joe saw several children they knew, children who had been living on the streets just like them. The two went to greet them, and Onil followed shortly after. Abril said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have all suffered a lot; they have wounds that may leave scars. But even so, they look happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril looked at Alessandro and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for bringing me on this journey. Even though it hasn\u2019t been so pleasant, seeing these children smile like this makes all the bad things disappear.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of Alessandro\u2019s guards approached him and said something in a low voice. Then Alessandro said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have something to do, I\u2019ll have to leave you alone for a moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll stay with the children.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kissed her on the forehead and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He went inside the mansion, where the butler was waiting for him in the foyer. Upon seeing him, the butler bowed and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour majesty, please follow me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler led Alessandro to a room that seemed to be an office. Alessandro didn\u2019t see anything in that room that could catch his attention, so he asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy have you brought me here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have found something that might be of interest to your majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler moved one of the books on the shelves, and a door opened, revealing a secret\u00a0<\/p>\n
room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI found this secret room. I thought it might interest you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s in that room?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t entered yet, I wanted to wait for your majesty to arrive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro entered the room, which was dark since there were no windows. The butler lit an oil lamp and handed it to Alessandro. The room was completely empty except for a book on a pedestal in the middle. He took it out of the room to read; it was a kind of diary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave me alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro ordered as he sat behind the desk to read quietly and without interruptions. The diary talked about experiments and how darkness affected humans, transforming them into terrifying creatures full of evil, into beasts without reasoning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro spent hours reading that diary, immersed in the horrors written there. When he saw that the sun had begun to set, Alessandro remembered that he had promised Abril he wouldn\u2019t be long. He left the study and gave the diary to one of his trusted guards, asking him to keep it safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He went to find Abril; she was still in the garden, surrounded by the children. They had made a crown of flowers and placed it on her head. Those flowers were white and contrasted with her beautiful reddish hair. The warm and gentle rays of the sun bathed her, and her smile was beautiful, radiant like the sun at its highest point. Every time Alessandro saw her smile, he was filled with happiness; that image was etched in his mind, and he would always remember that moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril met his gaze; he looked at her intently with a soft expression. She stood up from her\u00a0<\/p>\n

seat and asked the children to excuse her. She approached Alessandro, hugged him, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve taken so long, I thought you wouldn\u2019t come back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro could smell the soft and sweet scent of the flowers on Abril. She had a flower\u00a0<\/p>\n
petal in her hair, which he removed and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I got distracted and lost track of time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll forgive you only because I was in good company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you have fun?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you like children?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they are full of goodness, and I feel at ease with them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose when we have our children, you\u2019ll be a very good mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think so?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m sure, that\u2019s why we\u2019ll have a lot of children.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, but as many as we can, I want to have a big family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although Abril had many siblings, she had never received warmth or kindness from them. In fact, her worst memories were with her siblings, and she shuddered at the thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Don\u2019t you want to have children with me? Have a big family?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril, seeing Alessandro\u2019s sad face, realized it wouldn\u2019t be the same, that what had happened with her family didn\u2019t have to repeat itself, especially because she wouldn\u2019t allow it. She smiled at him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kissed her and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we can\u2019t have children yet, we can practice until that day arrives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro said with a mischievous smile,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
