The End\u00a0<\/p>\n
The news of the birth of the new princess was celebrated throughout the kingdom of Cosset; the nobles brought gifts to bless the newborn heir princess. Alessandro looked at everyone present with satisfaction and said to Gabriel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want Lissana\u2019s presentation to be remembered in history, so make sure it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel looked at the king with hatred. Since the princess was born, he hadn\u2019t been able to return\u00a0<\/p>\n
home. The work kept piling up due to the king\u2019s excessive love for his daughter and the absurd\u00a0<\/p>\n
requests he made. Gabriel was tired; he had a month in which he barely slept, and the lack of sleep\u00a0<\/p>\n
was starting to affect his health. He thought, \u201cIf I keep working like this, I\u2019ll end up dying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty, I quit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can no longer continue with this job; my health has deteriorated, and you just keep piling more\u00a0<\/p>\n
work on my shoulders. So, I resign. Find another assistant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel was very good at his job, and Alessandro wasn\u2019t going to let him go so easily. He said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll double your pay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not about the money, Your Majesty. The truth is that, if I don\u2019t leave this job, I\u2019ll die. I have a\u00a0<\/p>\n
family to care for, so I resign.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand that you\u2019re tired since the palace has been in a great rush since Lissana was born\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem hasn\u2019t been the birth of the princess; the problem is that, Your Majesty escapes all\u00a0<\/p>\n
the time and neglects his duties, duties that I\u2019ve had to perform because you didn\u2019t do them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax, Gabriel, I\u2019ll give you a vacation after Lissana\u2019s presentation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I want them now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGabriel, I\u2019m your king. Are you rebelling?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m rebelling against the tyrant who does nothing but exploit me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it had been anyone else, Alessandro would have punished them harshly, but he couldn\u2019t do the same with Gabriel if he wanted to keep him by his side. He gave a big sigh and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, then take a few days off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want a month.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGabriel, you\u2019re being unreasonable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a whole month, I\u2019ve had to work very late and haven\u2019t been able to go home to see my family. I\u00a0<\/p>\n

< The End\u00a0<\/p>\n
think a month is fair.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro gave Gabriel an intimidating look, but he was too tired to care, so he held his gaze firmly. In the end, Alessandro had no choice but to agree to Gabriel\u2019s request.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, take a month off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel left the papers he had been holding on the desk and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Majesty, here\u2019s the list of all the tasks that need to be done. I hope you catch up with them\u00a0<\/p>\n
before I return.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gabriel headed to the door and left without further ado.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro worked all morning, and the mountain of documents on the table seemed to multiply. He wished to be with Aby and his daughter; he didn\u2019t want to be away from them for long. But Gabriel taking a vacation put him in a difficult position, as he could no longer escape his work as\u00a0<\/p>\n
he used to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued working for a while longer when suddenly one of the servants entered and announced Cassian\u2019s arrival. As if it were a blessing from heaven, Alessandro ordered that he be\u00a0<\/p>\n
let in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon entering, Cassian greeted him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLessan, great to see you. Sorry I couldn\u2019t come sooner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSame here, brother. Don\u2019t worry about it, you couldn\u2019t have come at a better time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the mountain of documents on his brother\u2019s desk, Cassian wondered if that was true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose you\u2019ll stay until Lissana\u2019s presentation ceremony, and since you\u2019re here, maybe you\u00a0<\/p>\n
could give me a hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, I was planning to stay just a few days. I came to meet my niece. By the way, how is she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro replied with great pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s beautiful, but why are you staying such a short time?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s because of Maya. She hasn\u2019t been in good health and couldn\u2019t come, and I don\u2019t want to leave her alone for too long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it serious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but she wasn\u2019t in a condition to travel, so she had to stay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see, I hope she recovers soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, brother, but I can\u2019t help you with your work this time. I\u2019ll go say hi to Abril and meet my\u00a0<\/p>\n
niece. Good luck with everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u0b6e\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/7\u00a0<\/p>\n
< The End\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian pointed at the pile of documents on the desk and then left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian went to Abril\u2019s room and, upon knocking, asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I come in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril recognized Cassian\u2019s voice and opened the door herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian, what a joy to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry I couldn\u2019t come sooner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril looked around, and seeing he was alone, she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s Maya?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a bit unwell and couldn\u2019t come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it serious? Maybe I should go\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
