Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 72

72 Everything is better when we are together Despite having been sleeping for three days April still felt sleepy,

she gave a big yawn Alessandro asked her.

_ Are you OK? Yes, | just feel a little sleepy.

Alessandro looked worried, Abril told him.

_This tit's just a dream, my magic isn't escaping.

_ Really? _Yes, now I can feel my magic, although | can't control it, but the earrings helpwith that.

_ How could your mother give you those earrings? _| don't know, he put them in my dream, when | woke up |

already had them.

_Your mother must have been a very powerful magician.

_l don't know, no one ever toldabout her, | don't really know anything about her, I would have liked to have

met her, spent twith her, maybe my life would have been very different if she hadn't died.

April yawned again, Alessandro didn't want her to go back to sleep, he was afraid that she wouldn't wake up this

time, but she looked tired, she was fighting sleep to stay awake, it was selfish of him not to let her sleep.

Alessandro took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, put his arms around her and said.

_If you are sleepy, go to sleep, | will be by your side when you wake up.

April settled on his chest and said.

_This t| will wake up, I just need to sleep a little.

Alessandro gently stroked her hair, kissed her on the forehead and said.

_Good night my sleeping beauty, I'll be here when you wake up.

April closed her tired eyes and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

Alessandro was also tired.

He had spent three days taking care of April day and night, during which he hadn't slept a single minute.

Worry and fear prevented him from doing so, but at that moment, knowing that April was fine, all The tension in

his body disappeared and tiredness csuddenly; in the end he too ended up falling asleep while holding in his

arms the warm body of his wife, his beloved.

When April woke up again the sun had already begun to set, an orange light flooded the room, she was still in

Alessandro's arms, she looked at him and for the first tin her life she felt true happiness and thanked God for

having met him.

She caressed his sleeping face, there were very few times she had seen him sleep, it was always the other way

around, his sleeping face seemed beautiful to her, her fingers ran over his features and stopped on his lips, soft

and warm.

Alessandro woke up to her caresses, when he opened his eyes she told him.

_I'm sorry | woke you up.

Alessandro caught her hand before she pulled it away, gave her a kiss on the palm and said.

_Don't apologize, I'm fine.

Alessandro, seeing that the sun was beginning to set outside, said to him.

_It seems we've slept all day.

_Yeah.

_Do you feel like stretching your legs a bit? _The truth is yes, | have been lying in this bed for three days, my

body feels a little heavy.

Alessandro got out of bed, put on his shoes and looked for Abril's and a robe to put on her since she was only

wearing a light white silk nightgown.

Alessandro helped her sit up on the bed slowly so she wouldn't get dizzy, then he put on her shoes and robe, and

helped her stand up.

Abril's legs felt weak, like those of a newborn deer.

Alessandro held her by the waist and helped her walk until they reached the balcony, there they sat on a bench,

from there they could see the mountains, the sun slowly descending, hiding behind the mountains, Abril leaned

on Alessandro's arm and said to him.

_It's lovely.

_I'm glad you like it.

_l really liked the sunset on the beach, but this is also beautiful.

_Yes itis.

_You know what I like most about this.

_ The fact that? _Although the landscape is beautiful, what | like most about this is being by your side, that

makes everything even more beautiful, your company.

Alessandro kissed her and said.

_Yes, by your side everything is better.

Cassian had gone out to train since he felt suffocated from being locked up all day with nothing else to do.

While training Cassian felt light, like he hadn't felt for a long time, the injury on his leg had healed, there was no

more pain, nor difficulty walking, for the first tin a long the felt like he was back to his old self.

He ran around the mansion several times, he wanted to do everything that his injury had prevented him from

doing before, when the sun began to set he was making the last lap around the mansion, then he turned his

gaze to the balcony of April's room wondering how she was since Sirius had taken him out of the room and told

him to go to the bathroom.

He had toldnot to bother them, that they needed talone.

Cassian saw Alessandro and Abril coming out onto the balcony, he stopped and stared at them.

His brother helped Abril sit on a bench on the balcony, the two of them were sitting next to each other, Abril with

her head resting on her brother's shoulder.

For Cassian that was painful, although not as much as he had imagined, when he had seen his brother be with

Abril all the tand not leave her side for a single moment, he wished that Abril would wake up soon and that

his brother would be the sas always, it broke his heart to see him so broken and hurt.

When Cassian saw his brother kiss April, he continued running and wished to one day find someone to love like

his brother had done.

Three days later.

April had fully recovered, Sirius decided to return to his tower since he had nothing else to do there.

Alessandro had barely had tto talk to Sirius about what was happening in the kingdom at that moment, so

he went to see him before he left.

_I'll leave in a while.

_I know, Cassian told me, we will also continue with our journey, there are still many other places | must go.

_Taren toldwhat's happening, the kingdom is full of traitors.

_Yes, | must clean up before the war starts, otherwise this twe will fall from within, King Venobich has started

to move his pieces, you have reinforced the barriers as | asked you.

_Yes, | have sent the magicians to reinforce all the barriers and | personally reinforced the palace barriers, we will

be fine for stime.

_I hope it is long enough until we can be prepared, this tthe war will not end with a treaty, it will have to end

with the blood spilled by one of us and I hope it is the blood of King Venobich and not mine.
