Abril placed her hand over Alessandro\u2019s to calm his anger, as he seemed ready to kill anyone who stood in his way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, please calm down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro pressed his forehead against Abril\u2019s and spoke softly but fiercely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can I calm down after seeing that you\u2019ve been hurt? Tell me who hurt you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril hesitated for a moment before telling him what had happened, but she knew it was best to tell him the truth; otherwise, Alessandro might cause a big scandal, and he wouldn\u2019t stop until he found out what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, I\u2019ll tell you what happened to me, but please don\u2019t get upset.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril told him everything that had happened without holding anything back. Alessandro listened in silence until she finished speaking; although he hadn\u2019t said a single word, his face betrayed his feelings and thoughts at that moment. \u201cI will kill Vritra Venobich.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril saw the contained rage in Alessandro\u2019s eyes, she gave him a soft, sweet kiss, then another, and another until she saw that all that contained anger was slowly disappearing with each kiss she gave him. She caressed his cheek and said while looking directly into his\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, I\u2019ll be fine, it wasn\u2019t anything serious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how small the harm you receive, I hate that you\u2019re hurt, Aby, and I hate myself for not being able to protect you even when I said I would.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril squeezed Alessandro\u2019s hand and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, you already do, you take good care of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like that. If I were doing it well, you wouldn\u2019t be like this right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril began to feel cold after her skin cooled. She stood up, and Alessandro helped her remove the damp clothes that had stuck to her body. He looked closely at her naked body for a moment and saw red marks on her pale skin as if she had been exposed to the sun for too long. He took a robe and put it on her very carefully not to hurt her, then he took her in his arms and carried her to the room, gently laid her on the bed and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be better to call a doctor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Heart\u2019s Seal\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary, I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven so, I want to do it. I\u2019ll feel better if a doctor checks you. It\u2019s the only thing I can do for you at this moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril knew that Alessandro felt guilty and, no matter what she said, he would continue to blame himself for not having protected her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that makes you feel more at ease, it\u2019s no problem for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro headed to the door. Abril felt afraid, she didn\u2019t want to be left alone, but if she told Alessandro, he wouldn\u2019t leave her alone at any moment, so she just said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t take long, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t, I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Alessandro left the room, he looked for one of the servants and asked him to call the doctor and send him to their room. He also sent a message to the tower of mages for Sirius to see him early in the morning, then he returned to the room to be with Abril. When she saw him, she showed an expression of relief on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry for taking so long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro approached, took a chair, and placed it next to the bed. Abril\u2019s skin still looked red. He decided that day he wouldn\u2019t sleep with her as he didn\u2019t want to hurt her while sleeping. He took her hand and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor will come soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, how did the meeting with the generals go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, although many were afraid to participate in this war, no one wants to fight against monsters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril showed an expression of concern on her face, Alessandro caressed her cheek and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, they will help. Cassian has helped me convince them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you apologizing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll this is my father\u2019s fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Faints\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t apologize for your father\u2019s actions, you haven\u2019t done anything wrong. In the past, I made the mistake of hating you just for being his daughter. Now I regret having done that. If had the chance, I would go back in time and not make the same mistake again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t change our past, but we have changed our future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI swear that won\u2019t happen again. I love you and I just want to protect and cherish you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the maids knocked on the door to announce the doctor\u2019s arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After examining Abril and giving her some ointment for the burns, the doctor left them alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Abril had trouble falling asleep; every time she closed her eyes, she saw the image of those monsters imprinted on her mind. Alessandro stayed by her side, stroking her hair until she finally managed to fall asleep. Sophia appeared again in her dreams, looking sad and guilty. She kept her distance from Abril and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so sorry, my child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to apologize.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hesitated, and because of my doubt, you got hurt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy child, I only want your well\u2013being and happiness, and I know that as long as Vritra is alive, you can\u2019t be happy; he will never let you be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia approached, took her hand, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril, you must fully awaken your power and defeat your father so you can be happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia placed her hand on her heart and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dear, the most powerful seal you have is here. To unleash all your magic, you must break it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd how do I do that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo break the seal, you just need to wish for it with all your heart and strength.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when I do, what will happen to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already dead, my child. I\u2019ve only stayed to protect you, but when that day comes, when you break the last seal, you won\u2019t need me anymore, and I will leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
