A Power That Can\u2019t Be Hidden\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril woke up with a severe headache. The light entering the room bothered her, so she used her\u00a0<\/p>\n
hand to block it from her eyes. The door opened, and she immediately heard Alessandro\u2019s voice as\u00a0<\/p>\n
he hurried to her side, wrapped his arms around her and said with a broken voice, \u201cThank goodness you\u2019re awake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro was hugging her tightly, and Abril felt she would be crushed if he didn\u2019t let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, you\u2019ll make me faint if you keep hugging me so tightly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro loosened his embrace but didn\u2019t release her; he was trembling slightly, and Abril asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened? Did we win?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s good, as it\u2019s finally over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril replied somewhat sadly, knowing the victory came at a high cost; she had lost her mother\u00a0<\/p>\n
and her father, who, deep down, did love her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro released her from his embrace. Earlier, she couldn\u2019t see him well because her eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
hadn\u2019t adjusted to the light. Now, she noticed Alessandro looked pale and haggard, with a beard as\u00a0<\/p>\n
if he hadn\u2019t shaved in days. Abril felt confused; after the battle, she had fainted, but how long had\u00a0<\/p>\n
she been unconscious? That was something she didn\u2019t know. She looked around and realized she\u00a0<\/p>\n
was back in the royal palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, how long have I been unconscious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been 15 days, and you hadn\u2019t woken up. I was..\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words got caught in Alessandro\u2019s throat; he had stayed by her side for 15 days, waiting for her to wake up. During that time, he hadn\u2019t eaten properly and slept very little; throughout the time she\u00a0<\/p>\n
had been asleep, he hadn\u2019t stopped praying to God for her to wake up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hugged her again and said, \u201cI thought I had lost you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was shocked to learn she had been unconscious for 15 days, but quickly realized how much Alessandro must have suffered during that time. She returned the hug and said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, you\u00a0<\/p>\n
must have\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing for you to apologize for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril didn\u2019t know what to say to calm Alessandro\u2019s anxious heart. So she simply held him close for\u00a0<\/p>\n
a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Alessandro had calmed down a bit, he realized Abril hadn\u2019t eaten in fifteen days. He released\u00a0<\/p>\n
her and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Power That Can\u2019t Be Hidden\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be hungry, I\u2019ll get them to bring you something light to eat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril wasn\u2019t aware of her hunger until Alessandro mentioned it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m starving. I\u2019d really appreciate it if you could do that.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clam\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro peeked out the door and called for the maids, who were nearby. That was an order\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro had given when he returned to the palace; he wanted some maids to stay close,\u00a0<\/p>\n
waiting for Abril to wake up. He announced that his wife had woken up. All the maids rejoiced and\u00a0<\/p>\n
thanked the heavens for the queen\u2019s awakening; Alessandro asked them to inform his brother and\u00a0<\/p>\n
to fetch something light for his wife to eat, and also to call the doctor to check on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Alessandro returned to the room, Abril hit him with a barrage of questions about the war.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre Maya and Cassian okay? How did the war end? Were all the monsters destroyed or are there\u00a0<\/p>\n
more? What will happen to the kingdom of Laios?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalm down, if you hit me with so many questions at once, I won\u2019t know where to start. Besides,\u00a0<\/p>\n
right now you should only worry about yourself, about recovering.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine, I just want to catch up, I want to know what happened during these fifteen days I\u2019ve been\u00a0<\/p>\n
asleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro sighed, knowing that no matter what he said, Abril wouldn\u2019t stop asking until she knew\u00a0<\/p>\n
everything that had happened, so he began to answer her questions in the order she had asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian and Maya are fine, you ended the war, all the monsters on the battlefield were destroyed by your flames, and as for what will happen to the kingdom of Laios, I still don\u2019t know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won the war. I thought you would take control of the kingdom of Laios, or at least that\u2019s what\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel explained to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the usual course of action, but even though we won the war, we don\u2019t know what lies behind the walls of the kingdom of Laios. We can\u2019t enter recklessly. We don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll find\u00a0<\/p>\n
there, since your siblings are still alive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, Abril had completely forgotten about her siblings; she remembered that Maya had come there to seek her help to defeat her sister since she was attacking the land of the fairies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s true, I had forgotten, we still need to defeat my sister Cira.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but right now there are more important things to worry about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat things?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the maids arrived with Abril\u2019s food. Alessandro didn\u2019t answer the question she had asked. The maid left the food and then left. Alessandro placed the tray beside the bed and began to feed\u00a0<\/p>\n

her. Abril said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can do it myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re weak; you should let me help you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril felt hungry, but she didn\u2019t feel weak. She wondered if it was because she had unleashed all\u00a0<\/p>\n
her magic, if it was her own power that was sustaining her, but she said nothing and just ate what\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gave her. She finished all the soup, but her hunger still wasn\u2019t satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, I\u2019m very hungry, a simple bowl of soup won\u2019t satisfy me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019ll ask them to bring another.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, I\u2019d prefer something that satisfies me a bit more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou went 15 days without eating. It\u2019s not good for you to eat heavy meals; it will make you sick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts, for a few days you\u2019ll only be able to eat soft foods.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Alessandro headed towards the door, Abril said\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, I\u2019m really fine, I don\u2019t know how to explain it. Even though I\u2019ve been unconscious for so long, my body doesn\u2019t feel weak. Well, my head hurts a while ago, but now it doesn\u2019t. Even though it was 15 days, I feel like it was just one, so don\u2019t worry so much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro tightened his grip on the tray. Abril didn\u2019t seem to be lying, and although it was hard for\u00a0<\/p>\n
him to believe, deep down he knew it was true; she was fine, and that was due to the great power\u00a0<\/p>\n
she harbored in her body, since, after breaking the last seal, it was something that could no longer\u00a0<\/p>\n
be hidden. That was something that made him feel nervous and anxious, because even if he tried,\u00a0<\/p>\n
he could no longer hide who Abril was, a princess off the elf kingdom. He replied with a somewhat\u00a0<\/p>\n
sad smile,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already know that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
