Several doctors examined Lissana, but none could say what was wrong with her. Her fever had increased, and she didn’t look well at all. Alessandro was starting to despair. In that moment of desperation, he wished so badly that Abril was there.

Maya continued to care for Lissana, carrying her in her arms all day since the baby only stopped crying when she was being rocked around the room.

Cassian approached his brother and said, “I think we should call Abril. No doctor has been able to figure

out what’s wrong with her. She’s still very young. If she doesn’t improve soon, it could be fatal.”

“I didn’t want to worry Abril with this, but I don’t think there are any other options. I’ll ask her to come back.”

Alessandro left the room, as he didn’t want to wake Lissana, who had just fallen asleep. He went to his

room, took the pendant from his neck, and began to call Abril.

“Aby.”

Abril responded to his call immediately. “Lessan, are you alright? How is Lissana?”

Alessandro could feel the anxiety in Abril’s voice, and it pained him to have to tell her that Lissana wasn’t well. “I’m fine. Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Aby, you have to come back.”

“Yes, I won’t be long.”

“No, you have to come back right now.”

“What’s wrong, Lessan?”

“It’s Lissana.”

“What’s wrong with my baby, Lessan?!”

“Calm down, Aby. Lissana has a fever. Several doctors have seen her, but they still don’t know what’s

wrong with her.”

Abril got up immediately. She was still weak, and standing up so abruptly made her dizzy. She crashed to

the floor with a thud.

Alessandro, hearing the loud thud, became worried. “Aby, what happened?! Are you alright?!”

It took Abril a moment to respond as she felt everything spinning. She felt nauseous. If she hadn’t been talking to Alessandro, she wouldn’t have been able to hold back and would have vomited until her stomach was completely empty.

“I’m fine, I just tripped.”

“Thank God. I thought something had happened to you.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I’ll be with you soon. Take good care of our daughter in the meantime.”

“I will.”

Abril felt awful. She took off the pendant and ended their conversation. She grabbed a vase that was

nearby and began to vomit until her stomach was completely empty. She wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her shirt and wondered how she was going to get back to Cosset without dying in the attempt.

The bedroom door suddenly burst open. Abril’s body tensed, thinking it was an attack, but when her eyes

focused and she could clearly see the person who had just entered, she felt relieved. It was Sirius, who

had just returned.

“What are you doing on the floor?” Sirius asked her as he approached. Seeing her pale and haggard, he

offered his hand to help her up and said, “You’re still not well. Why did you try to get up?”

“We have to go back to Cosset.”

“I already told you that in your state, that’s not possible.”

“I know, but it’s about Lissana. She’s not well. The doctors don’t know what’s wrong with her, but I think I

know why.”

“What do you mean?”

“Before I left, I sealed Lissana’s powers. I think that’s what made her sick. That’s why we have to go back.

Only I can release her magic.”

“Damn it! Why did you do that?”

“Lissana’s powers tend to get out of control, sometimes with strong gusts of wind and other times she can nullify magic. I was afraid her power would get out of control while I wasn’t there and she would end up hurt, but I never imagined it would make her sick.”

“You can’t suppress magic when it’s just awakened. That will only overload the body and cause it to

collapse.”

“I didn’t know.”

“I’ll prepare something for you to endure the trip, although I don’t know if it will work. You’re still suffering the effects of using so much magic at once.”

“I have to get to Cosset. Lissana needs me. Do what you have to do, but take me to her.”

Sirius helped her to lie down on the bed. Then he called one of the maids and asked for various herbs, spices, hot water, and a mortar and pestle from the kitchen to grind everything. When they brought him everything he had asked for, he took out a few herbs he carried in his bag and began to grind them into a viscous green paste. Sirius took a little and stirred it with hot water, creating a kind of tea, and served it to

Abril.

That tea had a strong mint smell and looked disgusting. She hoped it wouldn’t taste as bad as it looked.

After the first sip, she wanted to spit it out, but Sirius forced her to drink it, saying, “You have to drink it all,

so don’t even think about spitting it out.”

Abril forced herself to drink that disgusting concoction for the love of her daughter. When she finished

everything Sirius had served her, she asked, “How long will it take for that potion to take effect?”

“It will take a while.”

“I don’t have that much time!”

“That’s your only option. No matter how much of a hurry you’re in, you have to wait. Besides, you still have

a lot to drink.”

“What?”

“You didn’t think it would just be one cup, did you? You have to finish it all.” He lifted the teapot to show her everything he had prepared. “Otherwise, it won’t work.”

Sirius poured her another cup and said, “If you want to get back to Cosset, you better hurry up.”

Abril continued to drink that disgusting concoction that Sirius had prepared for her. Although it tasted horrible, Abril couldn’t deny that it was very effective. After finishing her second cup, she began to feel much better. When she reached the last cup, she felt completely fine.

“This concoction you gave me tasted horrible, but it’s very effective.”

“Yes, but that will only make you feel better temporarily. When it wears off, you’ll feel bad again, but at least we can get to Cosset without you dying on the way… or so I think.”

Sirius‘ words didn’t inspire much confidence in Abril, but at that moment she was desperate to return, so

she had no choice but to take the risk.

Abril got out of bed. There was no dizziness, no weakness in her body, which was a great relief. She put ont the boots that were next to her bed and said, “Let’s go, we must get to Cosset immediately.”

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your brother?”

“No, I kept my word. Although it pains me not to be able to do anything more for this kingdom, my daughter is my priority, so let’s go. My daughter is waiting for me.”
