Abril wrapped her arms around her and said, “You haven’t broken your promise because you wanted to; I’m sure if you explain it to your friend, he will understand.”
“I’m sure he will, but the pain and sadness he must have felt is something that can’t be erased.”
“My girl is very smart and knows the pain that not keeping a promise can cause, how hurt the other person
must feel. Although it’s true that the pain can’t be erased, you can heal that pain by asking for forgiveness,
so when you see Tarik again, apologize to him.”
Lissana still felt bad, but she didn’t say anything more because she didn’t want her mother to think she didn’t want to be with her. Abril continued to hold her daughter until she fell deeply asleep. Seeing that she wouldn’t wake up, she kissed her on the forehead and said, “Goodnight, my little one.”
Then she returned to her room. Alessandro had just taken a bath, wrapped in a robe with his hair still damp.
He approached, kissed his wife, and asked, “Is Lissana asleep?”
Part II: Kisses and Hugs
“Yes, I thought you would come to say goodnight.”
“I had some problems and couldn’t go see her without taking a bath first.”
“What problems?”
“I heard that some villages were being attacked by monsters.”
“What?!”
“Calm down, it’s not what you think. It wasn’t any monster; they were murderers and thieves using
disguises to commit crimes. I’ve already taken care of them.”
Abril felt she could breathe again; having Lissana in the palace, the slightest mention of monsters
unsettled her.
“Thank goodness, I thought it was some attack from Cira.”
