Forgotten Wife, Blood Ties.
Abril was rocking her baby when one of the maids entered.
Your Majesty, I have a letter for you.”
Abril, upon seeing the seal on the letter, placed her daughter in the crib, took the letter, and read it
immediately.
The letter was short; it only said:
“Come to the kingdom of Laios and fulfill your promise.
Enzo Venobich
Abril had promised her brother that she would go to the kingdom of Laios to close the rift that connected to Hades, but since she was pregnant and couldn’t use her power, she had postponed it. Lissana, her daughter, had just turned six months old, and although it pained her to part from her, she had to go to the kingdom of Laios.
The maid, seeing the queen’s worried face, asked,
“Your Majesty, is there something troubling you?”
Abril shook her head and replied in a low voice so as not to wake the baby,
“It’s nothing, don’t worry. I need to go out, I’m entrusting Lissa to you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the princess.”
Abril went to Alessandro’s office, the two guards stationed at the door bowed and greeted her.
“Blessings to the kingdom’s moon.”
Abril found those greetings somewhat exaggerated, but since Alessandro had declared before everyone that they were a perfect match, everyone had started calling them the sun and the moon of the kingdom.
Abril opened the door, and Alessandro, upon seeing her, got up from his seat and went to meet her, embraced her, kissed her softly on the lips, and said,
“What a surprise you’ve given me. I wasn’t expecting to see you until dinner. Where is Lissana?”
“She’s sleeping.”
Alessandro held her by the waist and, with a seductive voice, said,
“Then we should take advantage of being alone to enjoy each other’s company.”
Abril was tempted for a moment, but then remembered why she had come and said,
Partit forgotten Wite, Blood Tien
“I have something important to tell you.”
“What’s going on?”
“I must go to the kingdom of Laios.”
“What? Why do you have to go to that place?”
“I promised my brother that I would come to help him close the rift leading to Hades, you remember? I’ve been postponing my trip, but I can’t keep doing so.”
“Then I’ll go with you. I don’t intend to let you go to that place alone.”
“No, Lissana is still very small. I wouldn’t be at ease if we both went.”
“But I don’t want you going alone.”
“I didn’t say I would go alone. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll have Sirius come with me.”
Alessandro knew Sirius was a great wizard, and Abril was just as powerful, but he was still
nervous.
“Alright, but take a few knights with you too.”
Abril shook her head.

“No, I want my visit to the Kingdom of Laios to remain a secret. Taking too many guards would make that impossible.”
“I understand.”
“But I can’t let you go with just Sirius. I’ll ask Cassian to come and accompany you; otherwise, I
won’t be at ease.”
“That sounds good, and could you ask Sirius to come? I’d like to talk to him and ask him to come
along.”
“You know I can make him go, right?”
“Yeah, but I’d rather he went willingly.”
“If that’s what you want, I won’t stand in the way.”
“Thanks.”
That afternoon, Alessandro sent a message to the wizard’s tower asking for Sirius to come and sent a letter to Cassian asking him to come to the palace. He didn’t specify the reason in his letters, as it was a delicate matter.
Sirius arrived early the next morning. He was on his way to Alessandro’s office when he bumped into Abril in the hallway.
