Take After My Mother

I Take After My Mother

Alessandro had become very curious about Abril’s mother. Initially, he hadn’t given it much importance since all his attention was on Abril, but the fact that Abril’s mother spoke to her and did things that were almost impossible considering she was dead seemed strange to him, as he had never heard of anything like that.

That day after breakfast, he left the room, went to Cassian’s room, knocked on the door, and asked,

“Cassian, could we talk for a momento?

Upon entering, Alessandro looked out the window to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

“Sure, ask whatever you want.”

“I’d like you to go to the information bureau and find out can about Abril’s mother.”

“About Abril’s mother?”

“Yes, she keeps appearing in Abril’s dreams.”

“It’s just a dream, Lessan. I also dream about our mother sometimes; there’s nothing strange

about that.”

“It’s not just a dream, Cas. If it were, I wouldn’t be so uneasy.”

“What’s going on, Lessan?”

“I think Abril’s mother has warned her about the war, advised her to keep her magic a secret, and Abril told me it was her mother who stabilized her magic and gave her the limiters to ston it from

escaping.”

“Okay, that is strange. Do you think her mother might be alive?”

“I don’t know, that’s why I want you to find out more about her. Who was she? Where did she come from, and why did she marry King Venobich?”

“The information bureau isn’t far from here; I’ll go today.”

“That’s what brothers are for.”

Alessandro returned to the room, Abril was standing by the window looking at the horizon. Alessandro hugged her from behind and said, “I have work to do, I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

“Can I go for a walk while you’re gone? I don’t like being cooped up.”

“Yes, but you must hide your hair color; it’s not a common color, so it draws a lot of attention.”

Abril had forgotten that her hair color was truly rare, a unique trait of the V

Alessandro took a ring out of his pocket, put it on Abril’s ring finger, and said, “It’s a magic ring; if you turn it once, it will change your hair color. If you turn it twice, it will also change your eye color.”

Abril looked at the ring and asked, “Can I choose the color I want?”

“Yes, you just have to think of the color you want when you turn it.”

Abril closed her eyes and thought of the hair color she wanted, then turned her ring. Her reddish hair began to change color from the roots, her beautiful reddish hair changed to blonde. Abril

asked, “Did it work?”

“Yes, do you want to see how you look?”

“Yes,” Abril responded excitedly.

Alessandro looked for a mirror in the room but didn’t find one. Abril said to him, “There’s a mirror in

one of my trunks.”

Alessandro took the mirror out of the trunk, held it up for Abril to see herself clearly. When she saw herself in the mirror, Abril began to cry, her tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls, glistening in the light. Alessandro asked her, “What’s wrong, Aby? Don’t you like that color?”

Abril wiped the tears from her cheeks and replied.

“It’s not that, like this, I look just like my mother, for a moment it was as if I were seeing her in front

of me.”

Alessandro put the mirror aside, wrapped Abril in his arms, and said.

“Then without a doubt your mother must have been a very beautiful woman.”

“Yes, she was.”

Alessandro hated the idea of having to leave Abril alone, but he had some matters to attend to and couldn’t stay with her all day. He gave her a kiss and said,

“I hate having to leave you alone.”

“I’ll be fine. I’ll ask Cassian to accompany me.”

“Cassian won’t be able to keep you company today. I’ve asked him to run an errand.”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll be fine alone.”

“You won’t be alone. I’ll leave two guards with you, they will look after you

“Alright.”

“You can go into town with them if you want.”

“Really?”

Asked Abril very excitedly.

“Yes, this town is very peaceful, you won’t be in any danger.”

Alessandro released her from his embrace, took her hand, and said,

“Come on, I’ll tell you who your guards will be.‘

and keep you company.”

As they left the room, Cassian could barely recognize Abril with her blonde hair. He said to her,

“That hair color suits you very well.”

“Thank you, are you heading out?”

“Yes, I have an errand to run. Where are you two going?”

“I’m introducing her to the guards who will look after her while I’m away.”

“I’ll accompany you to the door.”

As they walked through the corridors, Cassian said to Abril,

“I barely recognized you with the blonde hair a moment ago.”

“Honestly, I was also very surprised when I saw myself in the mirror. You know, I look like my

mother with blonde hair.”

“Is it because of your mother that you chose to have blonde hair?”

“Yes, I thought it would suit me.”

“Well, you were right, it looks very good on you.”

Cassian said goodbye to them when they reached the entrance of the temple, where the guards

were dressed in simple clothes to blend in. Alessandro approached them and introduced the two

“Abril, this is Noah Hudson.”

Alessandro pointed to a tall young man with light brown hair and black eyes.

“And this is Rafael Gannon.”

them a deadly look that made them tremble with fear and said,

“You’d better, if anything happens to my wife, I’ll make sure your heads roll on the ground.”

The two guards swallowed hard and responded.

“I hope so.”

Alessandro gave his wife a kiss in front of everyone, something the guards had already gotten used to. Alessandro handed Abril a bag of gold coins. She asked,

“What is this?”

“It’s gold.”

“I know what it is, I’m asking why you’re giving it to me.”

“So you can do whatever you want with it.”

“Can I spend it?”

“It’s yours, do whatever you want with it.”

“Thank you.”

Alessandro gave her one last kiss before leaving and said,

“Have fun.”

Take Alter My Mother

Alessandro mounted a horse, and the other guards followed him. Abril watched him until he vanished into the distance; he had only just left, and she already began to miss him.

Rafael asked the princess, who was lost in thought, gazing down the path the king had taken.

“Does your majesty wish to go somewhere?”

“Yes, I would like to go to the town.”

Noah replied,

“I’ll fetch a carriage, and we’ll leave right away.”

Noah went to get a plain carriage that didn’t resemble a noble’s. When he returned, he opened the

carriage door and said,

“This carriage is simple because we don’t want to attract too much attention.”

“Don’t worry, I understand perfectly.”

Abril got into the carriage, Noah drove it, and Rafael went with her inside to protect her in case anything happened. The carriage was uncomfortable, constantly rattling and bouncing along the way. Rafael said.

“I apologize for the discomfort with this carriage, your majesty; please bear with it a bit longer; we’ll arrive in a few minutes.”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m fine.”

Abril replied as she looked out the window, observing the rice fields where several people were

working.
