Two maids entered Abril\u2019s room. She didn\u2019t recognize either of them and wondered if they were new or if they had been assigned to another part of the palace, which is why she had never seen them before. One of them spoke, pulling her out of her thoughts, and asked, \u201cWhich would Your Majesty like to do? Would you like to eat first or take a bath?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril had perspired a lot and hadn\u2019t been able to bathe, so she ordered them to prepare the bath first. They attended to her with great care. They praised her beauty and the softness of her skin while applying scented oils and massaging her body. Abril found it strange to be treated this way, as the maids in that palace had never been kind to her. In fact, she remembered when the maids would constantly go to her small house in the farthest corner of the palace, and how she would throw dirty water at them to drive them away because she refused to return to the main palace, where she had only been a prisoner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, the maids would harass her and be rude to her, but that seemed to have changed. She wondered if all those maids had been replaced, and selfishly, she hoped they had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they finished changing her clothes and combing her hair, Abril asked one of the maids, \u201cDo any of you know where the little fox I have as a pet is?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Your Majesty, the little fox has been cared for by us, although I must say it\u2019s not so little anymore. Would you like me to bring it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maids left, and shortly after, one returned with dinner and the other with the fox in her arms. Upon seeing her, the fox jumped from the maid\u2019s arms and went straight to Abril. He had grown a lot since the last time she had seen him, and his fur was even fluffier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKoda, did you miss me?\u201d Abril asked while hugging him, enjoying the softness of his fur. One of the maids responded, \u201cI think he missed you a lot, Your Majesty. It seemed like he was looking for you all the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much for taking care of him; it\u2019s clear you\u2019ve treated him well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is Your Majesty\u2019s precious pet; we had to do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven so, thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the table was set, one of the maids said, \u201cYour Majesty, dinner is served.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril placed Koda on the floor and walked over to the table. The dinner was a soup that smelled wonderful, making her mouth water. While eating, one of the maids said, \u201cWe\u00a0<\/p>\n

brought something light for dinner as Your Majesty, the king, ordered.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril\u2019s stomach was a bit upset from the journey, and although she was hungry, eating something heavy wouldn\u2019t have suited her well, so she told them it was fine. After finishing the soup, she ate the dessert, which was something fresh and sweet with a lemon flavor, making her feel good. Then she ate a few grapes and asked for the tray to be removed, feeling satisfied. She took Koda back into her arms and asked, \u201cDo you know if Alessandro has already had dinner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Your Majesty, the king is still meeting with the leader of the Wizard\u2019s Tower. Do you need anything else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, that\u2019s all, you may leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was tired; she just wanted to sleep, but she wanted to wait for Alessandro. She didn\u2019t want to go to sleep without seeing him because the next day he would likely get up early, and she wouldn\u2019t see him until nightfall. She went out to the balcony to clear her mind. A soft and fresh breeze ruffled her hair. She stared into the distance, feeling like the days she had spent\u00a0<\/p>\n
elsewhere seemed distant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro entered the room, and Abril was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn\u2019t feel him arrive until he wrapped his arms around her and said, \u201cThe journey has been tiring; why aren\u2019t you resting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was waiting for you; I didn\u2019t want to go to sleep without seeing you first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro noticed that Abril had a ball of fur in her arms, and since he was behind her, he didn\u2019t know what it was, so he asked, \u201cWhat do you have in your arms?\u201cAbril turned around to show him what it was and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Koda.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis furball is still alive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe maids have taken good care of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeaking of the maids, has any of them been rude to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, they have been very kind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf any of them is rude to you, tell me, I won\u2019t let anyone disrespect you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to the maids from before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve all been replaced, I can\u2019t let anyone who doesn\u2019t respect their queen work for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril felt more at ease knowing that all those maids who had treated her so badly were no longer in the palace. Alessandro could see the relief on Abril\u2019s face as he mentioned those maids were no longer in the palace, he hugged her leaving Koda between them and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you apologizing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor all the harm you suffered here, for all the humiliations you endured.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s in the past now, you\u2019ve already apologized enough, and I\u2019ve already forgiven you for it, so you don\u2019t need to keep saying it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gently caressed Abril\u2019s cheek and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are wonderful, few people forgive and leave the past behind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople who hold onto the past die a little each day, and I don\u2019t want that, I prefer to live and I want it to be by your side, I don\u2019t want what happened before to cloud our future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gave her a gentle kiss on the lips and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout a doubt, you\u2019re the best, I love you, Aby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril returned the kiss, pressing her lips softly and replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you too, Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Koda began to feel squished, he started moving nervously in Abril\u2019s arms, she laughed and\u00a0<\/p>\n
said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re squashing Koda.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro moved aside a bit and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really going to keep that furball?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis name is Koda and yes. I tried to set him free once, he didn\u2019t want to return to the forest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re happy with him, he can stay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril let out a long yawn, Alessandro said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re tired, today has been a long day, we should go to sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
