When dinner time came, Alessandro went to the dining room, but he was greatly surprised to see that no one was there. He knew that perhaps Cassian wouldn\u2019t return that day since he had gone to the territory of Kover to see the lands he would be receiving upon becoming a duke, but Abril always had all her meals in the dining room, even if she was alone. The only times she didn\u2019t were when she wasn\u2019t feeling well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is my wife?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is in her room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHas she gone to rest so soon?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, she hasn\u2019t left her room all day. She said she was still tired from the trip.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro went straight to Abril\u2019s room. Upon entering and seeing her sleeping in bed, he became worried. He approached, sat on the edge of the bed, and with a voice full of concern\u00a0<\/p>\n
he asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAby, are you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril woke up upon hearing Alessandro\u2019s voice. When she opened her eyes, he caressed her\u00a0<\/p>\n
cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m just a little tired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe maids said you\u2019ve stayed in the room all day. Are you sure you\u2019re okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, last night I dreamed of my mother. She is teaching me how to control my magic, and even though I only do it in my dreams, it makes me feel exhausted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe Sirius should be the one to teach you to control your magic, so you wouldn\u2019t be so\u00a0<\/p>\n
exhausted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, I\u2019ll tell my mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t push yourself so hard. I don\u2019t like seeing you so exhausted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be hungry. I\u2019ll ask for dinner to be brought to the room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that sounds good to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro called the maids, and they quickly served dinner. Alessandro helped Abril get out of bed and to the table. Despite being exhausted, Abril didn\u2019t seem to have lost her appetite. Alessandro laughed seeing her eat with such appetite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was worried about you, but seeing you eat so well makes me think you\u2019re doing fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine, I just feel very sleepy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Koda approached Abril, and she gave him a bit of chicken. Alessandro asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis furball has been with you all day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Koda likes to sleep by my side. Will you be busy tomorrow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, there are still many things I have pending since I was away for some time. By the way, we\u2019ll soon have a dance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon hearing that there would soon be a dance at the palace, Abril\u2019s eyes lit up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Cassian will obtain the title; Duke, and we\u2019ll have a dance to celebrate it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDuke? But Cassian is a prince.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but to prevent divisions from forming, the princes renounce their title, take on that of duke, and swear loyalty to the royal family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it\u2019s just a formality.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s say yes, although Cassian will have to leave the palace and take control of the lands he will be given when he becomes a duke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Cassian will leave the palace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing a shadow of sadness on Abril\u2019s face, Alessandro asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t want Cassian to leave?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is my beloved friend, I wouldn\u2019t want to lose him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t, even if he\u2019s far away, he\u2019ll still be your friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis place will be lonely without him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be here for you, I won\u2019t let you feel lonely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

After finishing dinner, Abril gave a long yawn. Even though she had been sleeping all day, she felt as if she hadn\u2019t slept for days. Her eyelids felt heavy; she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you still sleepy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I think it would be best if I go to sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s a good idea. I\u2019m tired too; it\u2019s been a pretty hectic day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took Abril in his arms, carried her to the bed, gently laid her down, and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have them clear all this up so we can get some sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro called the maids who were waiting outside the room, and after they cleared the table and left, he laid down beside her, wrapped his arms around her, and began to stroke her hair without saying a word. Abril stared at him for a moment, and he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t close your eyes, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be able to fall asleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to keep looking at you. We haven\u2019t spent much time together today, and I want to see your face a bit longer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril yawned; it was obvious she was fighting sleep to stay awake. He caressed her soft\u00a0<\/p>\n
cheeks and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to fight the sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when I wake up, you won\u2019t be here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll be right here. When you open your eyes, I\u2019ll be the first thing you see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro covered Abril\u2019s eyes with his hand, forcing her to close them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet some sleep; you need it so your magic can recover and your body won\u2019t feel so tired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing magic is always so tiring.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, that only happens when you can\u2019t control it, you let your magic slip away. When you learn to master it, you won\u2019t feel tired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope so. I want to stop feeling so weak and be able to help you, to give back a bit of everything you give me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril said before drifting off to sleep. Alessandro kissed her forehead and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
