Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

26 Please do n't kill me April was watching the sunset when she heard someone's footsteps approaching, she turned to see who it was and was surprised to see the maid who had been bothering her.

_ What are you doing here? _I came to look for the princess, she hasn't been to the palace for days, I wondered what the reason was.

_Go away, you don't have to serve me here.

_I know and that's not really why I came.

That girl took out a knife that she has hidden, April stepped back and said to her.

_ What do you think you're doing? _ Today I will kill the princess, no rather the beloved daughter of King Venobich, I want him to suffer when he finds out that his beloved daughter has died, to feel the same as I felt when I killed my husband.

_Hey, I think you're wrong, my father doesn't care about me, if he did he wouldn't have sent me here, no one gives away their most beloved daughter.

_Maybe yes, maybe not, we'll see.

_Please wait, if you kill me King Alessandro will surely not let it pass.

That woman began to laugh hysterically she told him.

_Don't make me laugh princess, do you really think you matter to his majesty, even a little, if you really mattered to him, you would be treated like a queen, but he keeps calling you princess, he clearly doesn't consider you his queen, not even his wife since you haven't even had your first night yet.

_That's not true, I sleep every day in the king's chambers.

_You've already said it, you're just sleeping, you haven't spent your first night as a married couple yet, that's something everyone knows, I think if I kill you his majesty wouldn't even notice it.

April stepped back a little further, the maid walked with long strides shortening the distance between them, passed the sharp blade of the knife near her face and said.

_I think I'll destroy that beautiful face, I want to leave you the same way your father left my husband, unrecognizable, but I won't touch your hair, I want them to know it's you.

April was terrified, she began to tremble, she was afraid of what that woman was going to do to her.

_Please don't hurt me, I beg you, let me go.

_Of course not, I won't let you get away.

That servant slowly lowered the knife over April's body, stopped at her heart and said.

_ Did he stab your heart first? She continued down.

_ Or do I open you up? _I don't know where to start.

April began to cry and with tears in her eyes she begged.

_Please don't hurt me.

That woman seemed crazy, she pressed the knife against April's belly, cutting the fabric and skin lightly, and said to her.

_Maybe I'll start here.

April tried to escape by pushing her, but she didn't even move, a black smoke began to envelop that servant, a chill ran down April's spine.

_Don't think you can escape from me.

That woman buried the knife in April's stomach up to the hilt and said to her with a smile.

_He dies.

Alessandro had gone to look for Abril, when he arrived at the small house where she lived he saw that there was a maid with her, he felt something strange seeing that maid so close to Abril, so he approached silently, but when he was close enough to them he saw fear, pure terror in Abril's eyes, with tears in her eyes she said in a whisper.

_Help me.

Alessandro hurried and said to the maid.

_What do you think you're doing? That servant, upon hearing the king's voice, pushed the princess to the ground and ran away.

Alessandro, upon seeing that the servant had stabbed the princess, used his magic to trap her in a whirlwind of wind.

Alessandro rushed to help the princess, with tears in her eyes she repeated over and over again.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Alessandro took her in his arms and said.

_And you're not going to die, I won't allow you to die.

After saying that Alessandro used his wind magic to rise and fly to the main palace, upon reaching the doors with the bloody princess he said.

_Bring a doctor.

April began to lose consciousness, everything went blurry and she finally fainted, praying in her mind over and over again to God to help her, that she didn't want to die.

While the doctor was attending to April, Alessandro sent the guards to go look for the maid who had attacked April, while he returned to his chambers to see how the princess was doing, he met Cassian on the way, he asked him very upset.

_ How is the princess? They told me someone attacked her.

_The doctor is treating her right now, I was just going to check on her.

Alessandro started walking, Cassian asked him.

-The person who attacked you, have they caught him? _Yeah.

He answered Alessandro and continued walking, he was waiting outside the room until the doctor came out.

_ How is the princess? _ The wound was deep and he lost a lot of blood, I did everything in my power, now I just have to wait for him to wake up.

After the doctor left Cassian entered the room followed by Alessandro, he took his hand and said.

_ Why did they do this to him? _I don't know, but I'll find out soon.

_ Will she be okay? _I hope so, we need it to heal your injury.

Cassian was annoyed to see his brother's indifference and said to him.

_ Are you serious? Is that all you care about? Don't you care in the slightest what happens to her? She's your wife, Lessan.

_You think I don't care.

_That's what Lessan looks like.

_Well, you're wrong, Cassian, I'm very worried about her, more than you can imagine.
