Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 29

29 Someone who lovesApril didn't know how she had gotten to the balcony, she had fallen asleep and didn't

remember getting up.

Alessandro picked her up in his arms and said.

_You must go back to bed.

_I really don't know how | got to the balcony.

_Okay, | believe you.

Alessandro gently placed her on the bed and said.

_ Are you okay? Does your wound hurt? _A little, but I'm fine.

_Go back to sleep.

Alessandro took off his jacket, loosened his shirt, his shoes and then lay down next to Abril, she stared at him, he

asked her.

_ Why don't you sleep? _I'm not sleepy.

_Well, 1 do, so close your eyes and go to sleep, | won't be able to sleep until you do.

_Maybe | should be in another room.

- That? _I shared a room with his majesty to give him an heir, but in my condition that is impossible, | am only a

nuisance to his majesty.

_No.

_ Why not? _Why | don't want to have you away from me.

_I don't understand, why does your majesty want to havearound if you hate me? _I don't hate you, at least

not now, so give up that silly idea of wanting to go to another room.

_ What has changed? Because his majesty no longer hates me? _|I don't know, I just don't hate you anymore,

don't you like that? _It's not that, I just find it strange, no one has ever worried about me, I'm not used to your

majesty being so kind and worrying so much about me.

Alessandro wondered what kind of life April had lived in the kingdom of Laios, he asked her.

_ What was your life like in the kingdom of Laios? _Hum...

Lonely, | was never someone who was loved, | don't even remember anyone being nice toin that place.

_Your mother was not nice to you either? _My mother died giving birth to me, | never met her, | don't know much

about her either, only what the maids said when they were upset.

_ What did they tell you? Why didn't | die with my mother, that | shouldn't have been born, when | was little |

was very sickly, they hated having to take care of me, for everyone | was just someone annoying who shouldn't

have survived, | don't even know how I'm still alive since they always neglected me.

Remembering what her life had been like in the kingdom of Laios, April frowned and said.

_When that maid attacked me, | thought | would die, | thought | would never open my eyes again and at that

very moment | realized | realize that | have never been happy, that there has never been anyone who loves me.

Alessandro stared at her and asked.

_ Do you wantto love you? _| have never expected love from his majesty, | wonder if when | have a son he

will love me.

_You will be his mother, he will surely love you and I think | will too.

April's eyes widened and she wondered if she had heard wrong, she cleaned her ears and said.

_Maybe | should sleep, | think I'm hearing things.

Alessandro caressed her cheek and asked.

_ Don't you wantto love you? _ Why would your majesty love me? _ Do | even need a reason to do this?

_Don't know.

Alessandro moved a little closer to Abril, gave her a soft kiss on the lips, hugged her and said.

_You don't need any reason to love, it just happens, you fall in love without thinking, without planning, without

realizing it, when | saw that you were about to die | was afraid, | didn't want to losing you, I'm sorry if that's

upsetting to you, but I want to have you close toand make sure you're okay.

April didn't know what to think of what the king was telling her, so she simply stayed silent wondering if the

king's words were true.

The next day Alessandro called Sirius, and when he arrived he told him.

_Something strange happened with the princess yesterday.

_The fact that? _| was on the balcony.

_That means you're feeling better now, right? _She was asleep, she didn't know how she got to the balcony.

_Maybe she sleepwalks, I've heard that speople do.

_I don't know, | felt something strange when | saw her on the balcony, it was like she was another person.

_l was asleep, it's natural that | didn't act the sway | always do.

_l guess you're right, how's what I asked you for going? _It's only been a day, you can't expectto have found

a miracle medicine that will cure wounds, especially Considering | can't use magic since the princess nullifies all

magic.

_Well, get on with it.

_Yes, I'll go back to the wizards' tower right now and get to it.

As Sirius approached the door Alessandro said to him.

_I told the princess that | could love her.

_So you'll do what | suggested, you'll make the princess fall in love with you.

_Her magic is dangerous, it's best to have her on our side and I think that's the best way to do it.

_Love is more effective than fear, for love a person can fight even to the death.

_I have received a report from the shadows, it seems that King Venobich is preparing for a war.

_ Do you think he's going to break your treaty? _| don't know, | just know that she could mean our victory or our

defeat if the war starts again.

_I just hope that King Venobich doesn't start the war before the princess learns to handle her powers, that would

be a real problem.

_I know, that's why | want her to recover quickly so she can continue learning magic, so she can control it.

_ By the way, do you already know how to make the princess fall in love with you? - That? _Don't tellyou

don't have any plans.

_Well I haven't thought about that yet.

_ l advise you to start thinking about it, for a woman to fall in love with a man she needs to feel that she is

special to him, you must show your feelings for her, well in your case there are no feelings so you will have to try

even harder.

Alessandro wasn't very good with women since since he was young it had always been the women who tried

hard to please him, he had never had the need to make an effort with any woman, in reality he didn't really know

what to do to make the princess fall in love with him, but he didn't want to admit that in front of Sirius.
