Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

21 A soft kiss When Alessandro returned to his chambers that night he saw April very scared, normally she always looked nervous but that day she seemed even worse.

_ What's the matter? _Today Lady Elizabeth explained to me how babies are made and it is horrible.

April answered with glassy eyes.

Alessandro wondered what Lady Elizabeth had said to her to put her in that state, he didn't know if it would have been better not to have said anything.

Alessandro sat on the edge of the bed and asked.

_ What exactly did Lady Elizabeth tell you? _He said something hard and big was going to enter my body and it was going to hurt a lot, I don't want that.

_I think Lady Elizabeth has not explained it to you correctly.

_ So it won't hurt? Alessandro knew that the first time could be painful for a woman, he could lie and tell her it wouldn't hurt, but for some reason he didn't want to do it.

_It may hurt a little, but it's also something that will feel good.

_Really.

_And.

Alessandro gave her a soft kiss on the lips, Abril looked at him and said.

_I don't like pain.

_It only hurts the first time, after that there is only pleasure.

April didn't know whether to believe him or not, but she didn't have many options either.

When he saw that she was so hesitant, he said to her.

_Today I will only kiss you.

_Kisses are terrifying.

April replied, remembering that the night before she felt like she was drowning.

_Kisses aren't scary, you just don't know how to kiss, let me teach you.

Alessandro took her face in his hands, his thumb gently caressed her cheek, his lips touched hers, it was a simple brush, but then their lips pressed together a little harder, Abril was holding her breath, Alessandro told her.

_Breathe, if you do, you won't drown.

April did what Alessandro told her, he continued giving small and short kisses, until she stopped shaking, until she got used to that act of joining lips that was called kissing.

He went up a level, passed his tongue over her lips, tasting them as if he were testing them, then he sucked on her lower lip and deepened a kiss, April felt her face burning, it was as if she suddenly had a fever, her breathing became ragged and she felt a strange tingling in her body, Alessandro continued kissing her, his kisses stopped being tender and innocent and became intense, he introduced his tongue in April's mouth, massaging it slowly, that scared her, she pushed him away and stared

at him with her face dyed red.

_That scared me.

I guess this kiss was too much for her.

Alessandro thought as he looked at her and said.

_I think that's enough for today, we'd better go to sleep.

April got under the blankets and covered herself up to her head, Alessandro lay down next to her, that night she didn't hug him, but stayed to one side, motionless.

The next day Alessandro woke up before her, normally he always had a hard time getting up since he only managed to sleep a few hours, but since Abril slept with him he woke up rested and full of energy, he wondered if it was due to his power.

After changing, he stared at the princess.

She looked extremely small in that big bed.

"She's too thin," he said in his mind.

Upon leaving her chambers, she went to the dining room to have breakfast and ordered the butler to see that the princess had a good diet.

That day two maids went to wake April, they helped her get dressed even though she insisted that it was not necessary, when she left the king's chambers, the butler approached her and said.

_From now on your meals will be in the palace.

April found it annoying having to go to the palace to eat every day since her small house was far from the main palace, she replied.

_There's no need.

_It was an order from his majesty.

She knew what those words meant.

"It's an order from the king, you can't refuse." April sighed heavily, hating the idea of ​​having to spend so much time in the main palace.

_Today you have your first class with Sir Sirius, let's eat or you'll be late for your class.

April walked behind the butler, as they walked through the halls she told him.

_Lady Elizabeth will also come this afternoon, so you must stay at the palace all day.

April nodded and in her heart she wished that this would end as soon as possible so she could return to her peaceful days.

She felt uncomfortable being in the palace because she always heard the murmur of the maids mocking her and looking at her with contempt.

She was not welcome in that place and no one bothered to hide it.

That day April couldn't return to her little house that had become a refuge for her, all morning Sirius was teaching her the principles of magic, the food at the palace was luxurious and delicious that day, but she still wanted to go back to her little house.

During the afternoon she was with Lady Elizabeth, she continued teaching her more about the duties of a wife.

When dinner time came, one of the maids went to look for April, she took her to the dining room where Cassian and Alessandro were, she was surprised since she had thought she would eat alone, Cassian told her _Sit next to me April.

April sat next to Cassian and wondered why they were joining her for dinner tonight.

Cassian hadn't been able to see April all day because she had been very busy, when night came her leg started to hurt, so he had asked one of the maids to take her to the dining room to accompany them during dinner, he had mentioned it to Alessandro shortly before she arrived, he didn't say anything but he didn't seem to be bothered either, Cassian wondered if his relationship with the princess was improving.
