Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

49 A see you later When Cassian left, Alessandro was left thinking about what Cassian had told him, that he should examine his heart and his feelings.

He felt comfortable with the princess, even though he sometimes thought she was annoying.

He wanted to be by her side and protect her.

He didn't want to see her suffer, especially since she was the only one who could cure Cassian's injury, the only one who could give him a second chance to be the same as before.

Alessandro got up from the table and thought.

"It's not love, Cassian is completely wrong" Upon reaching his room, Alessandro hesitated for a moment before entering, although he didn't really know 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.

April sat in front of the mirror, seeing the maids leave she took a comb and began to comb her hair, Alessandro stood behind her, touched her reddish hair and used his magic to dry it.

_ How do you feel? _I'm fine.

April replied without stopping to comb her hair, Alessandro continued to caress her hair, running his fingers through it gently, April was dressed in a light white nightgown that left her shoulders bare, he moved her hair to one side, her neck looked seductive, he ran his fingers along her neck giving her a soft caress.

April's cheeks turned red, he could see it through his reflection in the mirror, that tempted him, he brought his mouth to her neck and gave her a soft kiss that left a small red mark on her neck, that made her startle.

_ Are you afraid of me? Do you hate me touching you? Kissing you? _No, but I don't want to feel pain again.

Alessandro kissed her on the cheek and said.

_That won't happen.

April turned around, her golden eyes locked with Alessandro's, he gave her a kiss on the lips and said.

_Next time I'll make sure it doesn't hurt.

Alessandro stroked her hair and said.

_Let's go to sleep, today has been a very long day.

April listened to him and got into bed.

After covering herself with the sheet, he lay down next to her and she asked him.

_Tomorrow I can go out for a walk in the garden.

_Yes, but don't overdo it, you must rest since we will soon leave, we will take a long trip by carriage, so you must take care of your body.

April smiled, she was happy to regain some of her freedom and said to him.

_Thank you so much.

Alessandro put his arms around her and said.

_Good night April.

She settled into his arms and even though it was hot, she didn't mind sleeping in his arms.

She hugged him back and responded.

_Good night.

A week later, during dinner, Alessandro told them that they would be leaving early the next day.

April was very excited, however, Cassian was not.

_ Tomorrow? _Yes, do you have any problems? Cassian had arranged to meet Laila the next day, she had insisted on going on a date, he had promised her that he would go, he never imagined that his brother would announce that they were going on a trip without warning.

_It's just very sudden.

_I know, there was a problem in one of the towns I had to go to, so I decided to bring forward the trip.

Do you have any problem with us leaving tomorrow? Cassian had not yet told his brother about his escapades from the palace, nor had he spoken to him about Laila, and he did not want to, he replied.

_No, I just didn't want to get up so early.

_If that's the problem, we can leave at noon, is that okay with you? _Yes, thank you very much.

The next day Cassian got up very early, escaped from the palace and went to the bookstore, when he arrived the store was still closed, he waited for a long time until Laila arrived, when she saw him she said.

_ What are you doing 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 attend our date, I'll be away for a few days.

Laila was saddened to hear that he had only gone to cancel his appointment and told him.

_ When will you be back? _Don't know.

_ But will you come back? _Yeah.

Laila kissed him on the cheek and said.

_Then we'll have that date when you return.

_Bye bye.

Cassian began to walk away, before Laila entered the tent he suddenly asked her.

_ Why do you insist on going out with me? I'm a boring person and...

Cassian squeezed her leg, not daring to say the last words to her.

Laila smiled at him in response.

_You are very strange, I don't understand you.

_I'm not weird, I'm just someone who doesn't get carried away by the cover of a book and I know there's something wonderful in you and if I keep insisting maybe I'll be surprised with what I'll get.

_I repeat again, you are weird.

Cassian told her with a smile.

Laila looked at him intently and loved his smile, she told him.

_I'll be waiting for you so come back soon.

When Cassian returned to the palace he found his brother in the halls, he saw the clothes he was wearing and asked him.

_ Where are you from? _From nowhere.

_The servants have been looking for you everywhere and no one could give any information about you.

_I was in the library, they didn't look in the right place.

Alessandro stared 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 something to do, I advise you to hurry up.

_Clear.

_Then I'll go find the princess.

I'll see you in the dining room.

We'll leave after eating.

_Yeah.

Cassian started to walk away, Alessandro called out to him, he turned around and asked.

_ What's happening? _I just want to tell you to hurry up.

_That's what I'll do, Lessan.
