When Abril woke up, the first thing she saw was Alessandro’s worried face. She placed her hand on Alessandro’s face, caressing his cheeks, and asked him, “What’s wrong, Lessan?”

“Are you yourself again?”

“Have I been someone else?”

“Your mother took over your body, don’t you remember?”

“No, I actually don’t remember anything.”

“Why did you do it? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“She seemed worried, anxious. I just wanted to help her. Did I do something wrong?”

Alessandro hadn’t told Abril about the elves, so she had no idea what she had done by letting her mother take control of her body. He pressed his forehead against hers and said, “You haven’t done

anything wrong.”

“Then why do I feel like I did something wrong?”

Alessandro realized he couldn’t hide the elves‘ existence from her any longer and had to tell her everything, even if he didn’t like the idea at all.

“You haven’t done anything wrong; I’ve been the one doing things wrong to you, and I apologize for

that.”

“Doing things wrong? I don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me.”

“There’s something I discovered some time ago, and I didn’t have the courage to tell you.”

Seeing Alessandro’s serious face, Abril felt anxious. “What’s wrong, Lessan?”

“What do you know about your mother?”

When Alessandro asked that question, Abril realized she knew nothing about her mother. In the palace, they never mentioned her name, not even once. Whenever she asked questions, the maids would get annoyed, so she stopped asking about her, In truth, she knew nothing about her. She looked at him and answered his question with complete sincerity.

“I don’t know much about my mother. In the palace, no one ever mentioned her before, and every time I asked about her, I ended up being punished, so I stopped asking about her. Now that I think about it, I don’t even know my mother’s name. When she appeared in my dreams, I knew it was her, but I had never seen a portrait of her, yet I knew she was my mother.”

“I see, then I’ll tell you who she was.”

Abril waited in silence for Alessandro to speak. She couldn’t hide the excitement she felt; for the

first time, someone would talk to her about her mother.

“Your mother’s name was Sophia, and she was a princess of the elf kingdom.”

Abril remembered having read a book that mentioned elves, but it said they were extinct creatures,

and there was no certainty they had ever existed.

“An elf princess? Do they really exist?”

“Yes, although it was only a few months ago that I found out about it. Abril, your power is very special, more than you can imagine. The power of light is a power that comes from the elves which only the elven royalty possesses. You inherited that power from your mother.”

Abril was so taken aback that she was at a loss for words. Alessandro continued, “Cassian, a friend of yours, met two elves; they are in the palace. Your mother went to see one of them, which is why she took over your body.”

“Are they friends of my mother? Can I meet them?”

“It’s better if you don’t, Aby. You must stay away from them. For them, a child born of an elf and a human is considered taboo; they might try to take you away.”

Alessandro caressed her cheek and said to her.

“I don’t want to lose you, Aby. That’s why I’ve tried to hide you from ther

“If they’re dangerous, why did my mother go to see them? I don’t think she would have tried to put me in danger.”

“I don’t know, Aby. I don’t know why she went to see them.”

Alessandro hugged her and said.

“But I don’t want you to see them. I couldn’t bear it if they took you away from me.”

Abril had many questions, but seeing Alessandro so anxious and worried, she didn’t want to ask anything more. She would have to wait to meet her mother in her dreams and ask her to clear up

all her doubts.

As they returned to the main palace, Cassian asked Maya.

“Yes, but I’ll be back soon enough.”

“I wish I could accompany you…”

Maya knew what was coming next.

“But you can’t, right?”

“Things between my brother and the elves are very tense; I can’t leave.”

Cassian looked worried, and she said to him.

“Don’t worry, I always travel alone; I’m used to it. Besides, I’ll travel faster if I go alone. Unlike you, I can use more magic scrolls; it’ll take me at most three days to go and come back.”

“When are you leaving?”

“I’ll leave early tomorrow.”

“Will you really be alright on your own?”

“Yes, I assure you.”

Maya stretched her arms and said.

“In the end, I didn’t get to ask the elves the questions I wanted to. I suppose I’ll have to ask them

another time.”

“What do you want to ask them?

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Cassian felt curious and wanted to know what questions Maya wanted to ask the elves, but she didn’t seem willing to talk, so he decided to change the subject.

“Despite coming from so far, you’ve only been locked in the palace. Would you like me to show you the city before you go?”

In reality, Maya had visited the kingdom’s capital many times due to her work. She probably knew it better than the prince who lived locked in his palace, but she didn’t tell the prince that. She smiled and replied.

“I’d love to.”

Cassian took Maya’s hand and said.

“Follow me.”

They both snuck out of the palace, and Maya couldn’t help asking.

“Why are we sneaking out of the palace?”

“I don’t want to take guards with me. If they had seen us, they would surely want to accompany us,

and I don’t want that.”

“So you want to be alone with me? Don’t you think your room would have been a better place?”

Cassian responded very nervously, his face flushed red.

“That’s not it.”

“I guess I was the only one who enjoyed what happened yesterday. You seemed so into it that I thought you enjoyed it too, but I guess not. That must’ve been awkward for you.”

Cassian stopped, turned to look at her, and with a serious face, said:

“That’s not true, I really did enjoy it. I’ve never done anything like that before, but it was an amazing experience for me.”

Maya had only been joking; she didn’t imagine he would respond with such sincerity. She stole a kiss from him and said:

“It was for me as well.”

“I thought you said it was just one of many for you.”

Several people turned to look at them. Cassian only realized they had reached the city at that moment. He was deeply embarrassed and said:

“We should stop talking about this; everyone’s watching us.”

Maya clung to his arm and said:

“Then we’ll talk about it tonight. Remember, you still owe me an answer.”

So many things had happened that morning that Cassian had completely forgotten what they had

talked about earlier. Maya pulled him along when she saw he wasn’t moving and said:

“Let’s hurry, or it’ll be nightfall, and the only thing I’ll see is the city gate.”

“Sorry, I got a bit distracted.”

With a smile, Maya asked:

“Where are you planning to take me?”

Cassian hadn’t thought about where to take her first since everything was decided on a whim.

Maya seemed to realize this, so she suggested going to the commercial district where all the shops were. Cassian always hated passing through there because it was crowded, and people looked at him with pity when they saw him dragging his leg. Walking down that street was extremely painful due to his injury. But that wasn’t the case anymore; he was walking normally again, and what he once considered a hellish walk, he now found extremely pleasant.

They strolled through the crowded streets for a while until Maya said she was hungry and asked him to take her to a good restaurant. Cassian didn’t know many places to eat; at that moment, only the café Laila had taken him to once came to mind. Suddenly, he remembered that Laila had made him promise to have a date with her upon his return.

Seeing Cassian lost in thought, Maya asked:

“Is something wrong?”

“I just remembered I promised to do something when I got back.”

“So our date ends here?”

“No, you said you were hungry. Let’s go; there’s a café nearby that sells delicious sweets.”

Maya loved sweet things, and upon hearing that she could eat delicious sweets, her mouth watered, and she said:

“What are you waiting for? Take me to that café right now. I’m not leaving those delicious sweets you talked about.”
