Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

62 what a moment April clung to Alessandro for a long time, shedding tears of relief.

When she was able to calm down a little and articulate a word, she said to him.

_Thank you for coming to rescue me, for not abandoning me.

Alessandro took Abril's face in his hands, wiped away her tears and said to her.

_You are my wife, I will always go to save you, never doubt it.

She wanted to thank him with more than just words so she gave him a kiss and told him again.

_Thank you.

Alessandro hugged her tightly, he stayed for a while breathing the scent of her hair, feeling the warmth of her body, the beating of her heart that was still beating strongly, he thanked God for having been able to save her, for having arrived in time, in In those moments, the desire to protect her grew even more in April, wanting to be by her side forever.

Alessandro wondered when he had become so possessive, when he had started to care so much about her.

While Alessandro hugged Abril, she told him.

_I'm sorry.

_ Why are you apologizing? _All in all, if I had stayed home this wouldn't have happened.

Alessandro stroked her hair and said.

_You don't have to apologize, it wasn't your fault.

_But I don't...

_No, actually they just wanted to get to me, if there's anyone who should apologize it's me, not you.

_ What happened to that scary man? _You don't have to worry about him, he will never hurt you again.

The boat began to move, April got scared thinking it was the pirates' doing, Alessandro calmed her down and told her.

_Calm down, nothing's wrong, let's go home.

Alessandro remembered that Abril had wounds on her wrists and ankles because of the ties, he broke his hug, looked at her wrists, they were bloody, he looked for bandages to cover the wounds, while he put the bandage on her wrists he said.

_I'm sorry, I should have arrived earlier.

April shook her head.

_You arrived just in time.

When they arrived at the port Alessandro told him.

_Wait a moment, I'll be right back.

April was afraid of being alone, she clung to Alessandro's clothes and told him.

_Don't go, please, don't leave me alone.

Even though the danger had passed, April was still very affected by what had happened, he took her in his arms and told her.

_ Okay, now close your eyes.

Alessandro walked out of the captain's cabin, Cassian was leading the other knights, Alessandro approached his brother and said.

_You can take care of this.

_Yes, don't worry, you can come back, I'll take care of everything.

_Thanks brother.

Alessandro used his wind magic to rise to the sky and created a creature with his magic, it had the shape of a huge bird, as they moved away from the town Alessandro told Abril that opened her eyes, when she did so she was scared to see herself so high above the ground, he told her.

_Don't worry, I won't let you fall, I promise.

Alessandro's words calmed Abril, he pointed his finger at her and said.

_Look.

April looked where he was pointing and was very surprised to see the moon reflected in the sea, it looked so close that she felt that if they got a little closer she could touch it.

_I would have liked to show you this at another time.

_It doesn't matter, I still love it.

Alessandro kissed her on the forehead and said.

_I can't promise you that you won't be in any danger in the future, but I promise to show you the beauty of the world and take care of you, I won't let anything bad happen to you.

April hugged Alessandro tighter, those words seemed sincere, she kept them in her heart and told him.

_Thank you.

And she continued looking at the horizon, the sea that seemed infinite and the beautiful moon reflected in the water, with thousands of stars shining above her head and despite everything that had happened, April wished that moment would last forever.

When they arrived at the mansion, Alessandro noticed that Abril had fallen asleep.

He carried her in his arms to the room and gently placed her on the bed.

He put some ointment on Abril's wounds and replaced the bandages.

He covered her with the sheet and fixed her hair, that day had been long, many things had happened and he was happy that in the end it had ended well.

Alessandro was amazed at April's powers, as they were even greater than he had imagined and he couldn't allow anyone else to know about it, least of all King Venobich, he had given April to him only because he thought she was useless, a spoil he would never need.

But she was a diamond in the rough, beautiful, gorgeous and incredibly valuable if polished.noveldrama

If she stayed by his side it could be the difference between winning or losing the war, it was no longer just about using her to heal Cassian's wound, she could do much more.

Alessandro stayed up for a while watching over his sleep, until he heard the sound of footsteps passing in front of his room.

It must have been Cassian.

He went out and when he saw him, he asked him.

_ How did everything go? _Okay, we killed all the pirates.

_ And the slaves? _We set them free, there were more than I had imagined.

_I'm glad everything turned out well.

_How is April? _It's okay, it just has a few wounds from the ropes.

_This was my fault, I'm sorry Lessan.

_It's not your fault, I didn't tell you anything about what was happening.

_No, actually it is my fault Lessan, ever since I suffered the injury to my leg I ignored everything, I stopped doing my job and I locked myself away, I have stopped being your support to become a burden, I became useless, although I can't fight like I used to, I could have helped you with other things, but I didn't, I let you carry everything by yourself, now I realize that.

_You are not a burden, nor useless Cas, you have given a lot for this kingdom.

_And I will continue to do so, that is my duty as prince of the kingdom of Cosset.
