When Cassian left, Alessandro was left pondering what Cassian had told him, to examine his heart and feelings. He felt comfortable with the princess, even though he sometimes found her annoying. He desired to be by her side and protect her. He didn’t want to see her suffer, especially because she was the only one who could heal Cassian’s injury, the only one who could give him a second chance to be the person he once was.

Alessandro got up from the table and thought.

“It’s not love. Cassian is completely wrong.”

When he reached his room, Alessandro hesitated for a moment before entering, though he wasn’t quite sure why. Upon entering, he saw the maids finishing drying Abril’s hair. When they saw him, they bowed, and Alessandro ordered them to leave the room.

Abril remained seated in front of the mirror. Seeing the maids leave, she picked up a comb and began to brush her hair. Alessandro stood behind her, touched her reddish hair, and used his magic to dry it.

“How do you feel?”

“I’m fine.”

Abril replied without stopping her brushing. Alessandro continued to run his fingers through her hair gently. Abril was dressed in a light white nightgown that left her shoulders bare. He moved her hair to one side, revealing her seductive neck. He ran his fingers over her neck, giving her a soft caress. Abril’s cheeks turned red, and he could see it in her reflection in the mirror. This tempted him, and he brought his mouth to her neck, giving her a soft kiss that left a small red mark, causing her to startle.

“Do you fear me? Do you hate it when I touch you? When I kiss you?”

“No, but I don’t want to feel pain again.”

Alessandro kissed her cheek and said, “That won’t happen.”

Abril turned around, her golden eyes locking onto Alessandro’s. He kissed her lips and said, “Next time, I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt.”

Alessandro stroked her hair and said, “Let’s go to sleep. It’s been a long day.”

Abril complied and got into bed. After covering herself with the sheet, he laid down beside her, and she asked, “Can I go for a walk in the garden tomorrow?”

“Yes, but don’t overdo it. You need to rest because we’ll be leaving soon. We’ll be taking a long carriage journey, so you need to take care of your body.”

Abril smiled, happy to regain some of her freedom, and said, “Thank you very much.”

Alessandro wrapped his arms around her and said, “Good night, Abril.”

She settled into his arms, and although it was warm, she didn’t mind sleeping in his embrace. She hugged him back and replied, “Good night.”

A week later, during dinner, Alessandro announced that they would be leaving the next day at the crack of dawn. Abril was very excited, but Cassian was not.

‘Tomorrow?‘

‘Yes, is there a problem?”

Cassian had plans with Laila the next day. She had insisted on a date, and he had promised he would go. He never imagined his brother would announce a sudden trip without notice.

‘It’s just very sudden.’

‘I know, but an issue has arisen in one of the towns I need to visit. That’s why I decided to move up the trip. Do you have a problem with us leaving tomorrow?”

Cassian hadn’t yet told his brother about his secret outings from the palace or about Laila, and he didn’t want to. He replied, “No, I just didn’t want to get up so early.”

‘If that’s the problem, we can leave at midday. Does that work for you?*

“Yes, thank you.”

The next day, Cassian got up very early, sneaked out of the palace, and went to the bookstore. When he arrived, the shop was still closed. He waited for a while until Laila arrived. Upon seeing him, she said, “What are you doing here so early? Don’t tell me you missed me so much that you couldn’t wait to see me.”

‘No, actually, I came to tell you that I won’t be able to make it to our date. I’ll be away for a few days!

Laila was saddened to hear that he had only come to cancel their date and asked, “When will you be back?”

‘I don’t know.”

“But will you come back?”

“Yes.”

Laila kissed him on the cheek and said, “Then we’ll have that date when you return.”

“Goodbye.”

Cassian began to walk away. Before Laila entered the shop, he suddenly asked, “Why do you insist on going out with me? I’m a boring person and…”

Cassian tightened his grip on his leg, not daring to say the last words.

Laila smiled in response.

“You are very strange. I don’t understand you.”

“I’m not strange. I’m just someone who doesn’t judge a book by its cover. I know there’s something wonderful in you, and if I keep insisting, I might be surprised by what I find.”

“I repeat, you are strange.”

Cassian said with a smile. Laila looked at him intently, charmed by his smile, and said, “I’ll be waiting for you, so come back soon.”

When Cassian returned to the palace, he found his brother in the hallways. Seeing the clothes he was wearing, Alessandro asked, “Where are you coming from?”

“Nowhere.”

“The servants have been looking for you everywhere, and no one could find you.”

“I was in the library. They didn’t look in the right place.”

Alessandro looked at him as if he didn’t believe what he was saying. Cassian wanted to change the subject and asked, “Is everything ready?”

“Yes, we’ll be leaving soon, so if you have anything to do, I suggest you hurry.”

“Of course.”

“Then I’ll go find the princess. I’ll see you in the dining room. We’ll leave after lunch.”

“Yes.”

Cassian began to walk away. Alessandro called him, and he turned around and asked, “What’s up?”

“Just telling you to hurry.”

“I will, Lessan.”
