If You Treat Me Right, I\u2019ll Stick Around\u00a0<\/p>\n
After closing her eyes and falling asleep, Abril found herself in a stunning garden, the flowers there had vibrant and vivid colors. She had never seen flowers as beautiful as those, and her mother was in the middle of them, smiling warmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, my little one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, why haven\u2019t you visited me in a while?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAppearing in your dreams is not easy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow have you\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
been?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia approached Abril, took her hand and asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you ready?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo learn how to use your magic and break the next seal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was a little nervous, but she was determined to make an effort to be of help to Alessandro. She nodded and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, teach me everything I need to know to control my magic, I\u2019m ready.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Abril woke up at noon. She had completed the training to control her magic in the dream, but she was completely exhausted. Koda had climbed on top of her, and Abril petted his ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood morning, Koda.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril sat up in bed. Koda must have been hungry just like her. As she didn\u2019t have the strength to get up, she pulled a cord that was next to the bed. Shortly after, one of the maids arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy Lady, I\u2019m Vero, may I come in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid made a bow and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you call for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hungry, could you bring me some food?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
<If You Treat Me Right, I\u2019ll Stick Around \u201cOf course, I\u2019ll bring it right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before leaving, Vero asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want me to help you dress or should I ask another maid to come?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril usually dressed herself most of the time, which is why she had requested her clothes to\u00a0<\/p>\n
be\u00a0<\/p>\n
easy to put on since she didn\u2019t like to depend on others to change. But that day, she felt\u00a0<\/p>\n
her body so tired and heavy that just getting out of bed was a problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still tired from the trip, I\u2019ll stay in bed, you don\u2019t need to help me change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019ll bring your food right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maya was very bored. She had been alone all morning, and at lunchtime, she thought she might see Abril or Cassian, but neither of them showed up at the dining room. After finishing her meal, she went for a walk around the palace. It was beautiful wherever she looked, but it was also silent, which made it boring. She ran into Cassian in one of the hallways, she approached and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t seen you all morning, where have you been?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in a meeting with my brother, is something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat I\u2019m bored? Although the palace is beautiful, it\u2019s quite boring and tiring since I get lost all the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019ll ask someone to escort you so you won\u2019t get lost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to be the one to escort me, let\u2019s take a walk in the garden, it seems to be very beautiful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m leaving right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll soon be leaving the palace, so I\u2019m going to see the territory that will be granted to me when I become a duke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
:.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<If You Treat Me Right, Fll Stick Around\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen let me accompany you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure? I might not return today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have anything better to do, so I\u2019d rather tag along with you than stay in this dull palace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, although you might get bored, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to do anything interesting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019m with you, I\u2019m sure I won\u2019t get bored. We can find plenty of ways to have fun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian started walking and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHurry up, or you\u2019ll be left behind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait for me, don\u2019t walk so fast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon leaving the palace, there was a carriage. Cassian opened the door for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHop in, we\u2019re taking the carriage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fronts\u00a0<\/p>\n
The interior of the carriage was large, and the seats were soft. She felt grateful not to have to travel on horseback as she found it very uncomfortable. When the carriage set off, Maya\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat territory are you given?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe territory of Kover.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThose lands are near the palace, I heard they are very fertile and prosperous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing Cassian\u2019s indifference when talking about the lands he would be receiving, Maya\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t seem all that thrilled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always been close to my brother in the palace, and I\u2019m not thrilled about having to be apart from him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seem very close. Has it always been this way?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot really. When we were kids, we used to fight over everything. But when the war started, we spent a lot of time together and became closer. When our parents and siblings died, that brought us even closer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve heard what King Venobich did to your family. That must have been really tough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
<If You Treat Me Right, I\u2019ll Stick Around\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat man destroyed my family, and I\u2019ll make him pay for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something I\u2019ve always wondered: why did King Venobich start the war, and why is he about to start another one? There are many other kingdoms, so why is he so obsessed with conquering the kingdom of Cosset?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something I don\u2019t know either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think there\u2019s something in this kingdom he\u2019s after?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou might be right, but what could he possibly want from Cosset?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, but if I were you, I\u2019d try to find out. If we knew what he\u2019s after, maybe we could find a faster way to beat him, don\u2019t you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat won\u2019t be easy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to lose by trying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose you\u2019re right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty smart, you should listen to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the lands of Kover, at the mansion where Cassian would reside upon becoming a duke, Maya said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, your new home will be wonderful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s not bad. Although I\u2019d prefer to keep living in the palace, even though this house is smaller, it seems even bigger.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you treat me well and pamper me, I might consider staying with you, so you won\u2019t feel lonely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, but I\u2019ll pass.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThink about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
