The Most Important Person to Me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
That creature born of darkness was devouring one of the villagers. Bones were scattered everywhere on the ground. At that moment, Alessandro realized that those bones belonged to all the villagers who had disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the guards asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is that thing, Your Majesty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething that shouldn\u2019t exist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The creature turned around and leaped at Alessandro. He used his wind magic to swirl the flames of the torches around the creature, causing it to burn until it disappeared completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon leaving the cave, Alessandro ordered the guards to return to the nearby villages, saying * had already dealt with the creature that was attacking the villagers. That same day, Alessan returned to Duchess Mollin\u2019s mansion. Upon arrival, the first thing he did was look for Abril, ar of the servants told him she was in the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While searching for her, he encountered Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, when did you return?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just got back. It\u2019s good to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you looking for Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but tell me how it went. Have you managed to find out anything more about the elves?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I spoke with one, and it seems that person is looking for Abril\u2019s mother, a princess of the\u00a0<\/p>\n
elven kingdom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro frowned and asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes he know about Abril?*\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so. In fact, I think he doesn\u2019t even know that Abril\u2019s mother has died.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see. Did you talk about anything else with that elf?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked him about the darkness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what did he say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat we should defeat it before it fully awakens, because when it does, we will be doomed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday I encountered another one of those creatures in the Lore forest. I hate to admit it, but I think that elf is right. We must deal with King Venobich.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre we starting the war?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
23 + ZA Printa\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems so. When we return, we must gather our generals and prepare our army. The war will be\u00a0<\/p>\n
sooner than I had thought.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro saw Abril passing by. She was with the children and a young woman with dark skin whom he did not recognize, so he asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who is that woman with Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kept looking at Cassian and asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA friend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not what you think; she\u2019s really just a friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro placed a hand on his brother\u2019s shoulder and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat young woman is very beautiful, I think you should start making a move.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would never do something like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t try to matchmake me, I\u2019ll find my partner on my own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just giving you some advice, now I\u2019ll leave you. After being away, all I want is a nice bath with my wife.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, you should stop being so blunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro looked at Abril and said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I\u2019m away, I only think of her and how I can\u2019t wait to come back to hold her in my arms.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems you\u2019ve truly fallen in love.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said no, she\u2019s become the most precious thing to me, though you\u2019re still the most important person to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro began to walk away and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll see you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Cassian watched his brother walk away, he thought,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m still the most important person to you, though you\u2019ll always be to me, Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Abril saw Alessandro, she ran to him, and he lifted her into the air, saying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Most important Person\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril hugged him and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya was surprised to see how much the king loved Abril, as during their journey, Cassian had told\u00a0<\/p>\n
her that their marriage had been arranged and not out of love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gave Abril a gentle kiss on the lips and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI missed you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing they were in the way, the duchess took the children and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKids, want to go see the stables? Some foals were just born.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two children nodded happily, Maya also left, joining Cassian who was nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro covered Abril with kisses, and she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow was your trip?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not hurt, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but if you want, we can go to the room and you can check for yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril caressed his cheek and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad you\u2019re okay, I was very worried about you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m strong, I won\u2019t go down easily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven so, I can\u2019t help but worry about you when you\u2019re away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel the same way. How are you? Have you dreamed of your mother again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine and I haven\u2019t dreamed about my mother again, but I hope she appears in my dreams soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I want to learn to use my magic as soon as possible and break the necessary seals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we return to the palace, you can continue with your lessons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen will we return?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll return tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A shadow of sadness crossed Abril\u2019s face, Alessandro asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Don\u2019t you want to return?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that, I just wish this trip wouldn\u2019t end.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeday we\u2019ll travel together again, we\u2019ll travel across the entire kingdom and it won\u2019t be a work\u00a0<\/p>\n
trip..\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too, but until that day comes, let\u2019s make the most of this last day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you take me somewhere?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I was thinking of something different.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro wrapped his arms around Abril\u2019s waist and whispered in her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could go back to our room, have a nice bath, and just relax by letting go of ourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet ourselves go? What do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat we could make love.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gave her a long, seductive kiss, one that thrilled and made Abril tremble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you say, Aby?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what about the children?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they\u2019ll be fine with the duchess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blushing, Abril replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I suppose we could.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro scooped her up in his arms and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s not waste any more time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPut me down, I can walk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but I prefer to carry you in my arms, that way we\u2019ll get there faster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they reached the room, Alessandro went straight to the bathroom, the tub was full, he began to undress and feasted his eyes on Abril as she did the same, eager to touch her body, to feel the softness of her skin. When there was no piece of clothing left, Alessandro took Abril in his arms and placed her in the tub, their naked bodies pressed together; the water was cold, yet neither of them felt it that way, their bodies were aflame with desire, eager to become one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro\u2019s hands explored her body, Abril did the same while they devoured each other in a passionate kiss. Their tongues intertwined and explored each other\u2019s mouths. After the bath, Alessandro used his magic to dry their bodies since he didn\u2019t want to waste any more time, he took Abril to the bedroom and there he made love to her passionately for the rest of the afternoon,\u00a0<\/p>\n
until Abril was utterly spent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Getting Selfish\u00a0<\/p>\n
After having such a hectic afternoon, Abril was sleeping deeply, and Alessandro kept watch over her. He\u2019d only been away for a few days, but they felt like an eternity to him; it was getting harder and harder for him to be away from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro loathed the idea of starting a war. He knew that when that happened, he would have to be on the battlefield for a long time, and although at first, he had thought of using Abril\u2019s power to win the war, he no longer thought that way. The very thought of Abril on the battlefield, surrounded by death, terrified him because he could no longer imagine a life without her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the war was imminent. Alessandro knew they had to put an end to King Venobich before he continued unleashing more horrors in his kingdom. What Alessandro didn\u2019t understand was why King Venobich was conducting his experiments in his kingdom; he should have known Alessandro would find out and be ready for what was coming, or perhaps that was just a small part, the leftovers he didn\u2019t need, and what was coming would be even worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro got up from the bed, and when he did, Abril woke up and asked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was going to get something to eat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril glanced out the window; it was already pitch dark. She sat up in bed, pulling the sheet around her, and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid we miss dinner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think so. Are you hungry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gently kissed her lips and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go ask them to bring us dinner. I\u2019ll be right back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t take long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Alessandro left, Abril got out of bed, went to the wardrobe, and took out a white silk nightgown. Then she went out to the balcony, and a soft, fresh breeze caressed her face. She lingered, gazing at the garden; it looked beautiful, the moonflowers glowed beautifully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let out a heavy sigh; her journey was nearing its end. The next day she would be returning to the royal palace, something she wasn\u2019t eager to do. For the first time, she\u2019d ventured beyond the palace walls, for the first time she had tasted what freedom was, and for the first time, she wished her newfound freedom wouldn\u2019t be snatched away; she wondered how long she would spend\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
locked behind the palace walls before going out again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m getting selfish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had returned to the room and had heard what Abril had said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro came over, wrapped his arms around her, and asked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you say you\u2019re getting selfish?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause even though I had nothing before, now I want more things.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know you can ask for whatever you want, and I\u2019ll give it to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why don\u2019t you tell me what you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
