It’s what she wants.

Alessandro read the books that the princess had mentioned to him. After reading them, he understood many things about the princess’s personality and at that moment he realized why the butler had acted somewhat strangely when he had handed him the books.

He looked at his hand. The night before, he had made sure to make a deep cut. However, that morning the wound was barely visible. He wanted to check that night if his wound would completely disappear and then, depending on the result, he would find out what kind of magic the princess possessed, since it was not detected by the power sphere.

Abril had eaten until she was full, then she had returned to her small house in the farthest part of the palace. On arriving, she was surprised to see Cassian. He asked her.

“Where have you been?”

“I was in the palace, from now on I will have to sleep in the king’s quarters.” She replied.

“Why?” Cassian asked.

“His Majesty has said that I must give him an heir.”

“Apparently, I will have to leave this house I call home for some time.” She replied.

“Does my brother want a child with you?” He questioned.

“I am his Majesty’s wife, even if it doesn’t seem like it, my duty is to give birth to his Majesty’s child,

and although he doesn’t like it, he is aware that it is also his duty.” She replied.

“Did my brother do something to you?”

“Hmm…”

“What I mean is, did he try to attack you like he did in the temple?” Cassian asked.

“No, he didn’t.” Was her reply.

“My brother is not a bad man.”

“That day he was upset, don’t hate him.” He pleaded.

“I understand his Majesty’s reaction, he must have thought that my father had deceived him by sending an impostor, but that’s not true.” She said.

Abril showed a sad expression on her face, Cassian handed her a basket and said to her.

“I brought you this.”

Abril opened the basket. Inside were several delicious–looking desserts, even though she had just

eaten, it immediately awakened her appetite.

“Thank you very much.” She said to him.

Abril entered the house and a few minutes later came out with a blanket and the little fox that she

had as a pet in her arms.

“Today is a beautiful day.”

“Let’s have picnic.” She said.

Abril put the little fox on the ground and carried everything else in her arms. Cassian followed her to the shade of a big tree, she spread the blanket on the ground and then sat down.

“Come on, sit down.” She said.

Cassian hesitated for a moment since it would be difficult for him to stand up afterward, but the princess kept insisting until he agreed and sat down next to her. Abril took a cupcake out of the basket, gave one to Cassian and another one to her pet, then she took one for herself and when

she tasted it she said.

“This is delicious.”

“Thank you for sharing something so delicious with me, you are very kind.”

“I don’t think I am kind.”

“When I met you, I attacked you.” He replied.

“That’s true, but for a while now you haven’t attacked me.”

“You even defended me from your brother in the temple.”

“That was the first time someone was kind to me.”

“I will never forget it.”

“I will always be grateful for that,” she said excitedly.

“Can I ask you a question?” Cassian asked.

“Of course,” She replied.

“What was your life like in the kingdom of Laios?” he asked.

“When I was little I was very sickly.”

“My father hated me because of that, but he thought my magical powers would make up for my

lack of health, but that wasn’t the case.”

“As you can see, I don’t have magic.”

“When my father found out about that, he got furious and sent me to an abandoned palace in the most remote part of the castle.”

“I didn’t have servants, and sometimes I didn’t even have food, but somehow I survived.”

“My father is a man who values power, and for him, someone like me is just trash.”

“When he sent me here, his last words were,

“May the light of Airón be with you.”

“That’s a death wish.”

“It means that death will come to visit me soon.”

“In other words, my father thought that I would die at the hands of His majesty.” “That’s what he

wished for,” Abril said.

“Sorry.” Cassian said as he listened to the princess.

“Why are you apologizing?” She asked.

“Despite having a difficult life in your kingdom, here you had to go through the same,” He said.

Abril shook her head and said,

“That’s not true, my life here has been much better.”

“If I were still in that place, maybe I would be dead by now.”

“I am grateful for what I have.”

Cassian felt bad, he knew that the princess had been ignored and sent to the furthest part of the castle where she received nothing, not even a decent meal. They treated her the same way King

Venobich did.

That day, the two of them stayed under that big tree for a while. Cassian returned to the palace when the pain in his leg disappeared again. He went straight to his brother’s office. He stood in front of the door for a few minutes, and one of the guards stationed at the door asked,

“Don’t you plan to enter, Your Majesty?”

Cassian knocked on the door with his knuckles and from inside a voice allowed him to enter. Cassian saw that his brother was with his assistant and asked.

“Am I interrupting?”

“No, sit down, I’ll ask them to bring us tea.” The king replied.

The king’s assistant left and shortly afterward a maid brought them tea and pastries, while they

drank tea, Alessandro asked.

“What’s wrong with you, brother?”

“Since you arrived it seems like you want to tell me something.”

“I heard that the princess will be staying at the palace from now on.”

He said.

“Yes, they are pressuring me to have an heir.” The king replied.

“Lessan, why don’t you allow the princess to return to live in the palace?” Cassian asked.

“I already ordered it before, but she refused.”

“With tears in her eyes she begged me to let her keep living in that small house in the furthest part

of the castle.”

“She didn’t want to live in the palace again,” the king said.

“But she doesn’t have anyone to take care of her.” Cassian said, expressing his concerns.

“She doesn’t want to, she has sent away all the maids I’ve sent, she wants to be alone, brother, so don’t get the wrong idea about why she keeps living in that small house that seems like a cage, since that’s her wish.” The king said.
