CHAPTER 161: I NEED A HUG

April had grown up without her mother, it had only been a few months since she had met her; she didn’t want to have to lose her for a second time.

_ I know it’s selfish of me to want her to stay with me, but I don’t want to lose her.

_ You should talk to her and ask her what she wants, don’t you think?

_ She just wants me to be happy, but as long as my father is alive that won’t happen.

April looked at her palms and said.

_ I know I must break all the seals that stop my magic since with it I can help defeat my father, but the price to do so is very high.

_ They say there is no victory without sacrifice, in wars we all lose something valuable, that’s why victories are so difficult to obtain.

_ I know, but what’s the point of winning if you lose everything, I want victory but not at the price of losing everyone I love.

Sirius thought the princess’s words were innocent, but he wished with all his heart that it was like that, that the war that was coming would not take away everything he loved.

_ Sirius that is why I want your help, help me not to lose my mother.

_ I will do everything in my power to help her, although I do not promise anything.

_ Thank you.

_ I must go, his majesty is waiting for me.

Before Sirius left Abrille said.

I hope you keep our conversation a secret, Alessandro has many burdens at the moment, I do not want to give him more burden at this time.

_ Do not worry, I will keep our conversation a secret.

_ Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

When Sirius arrived at Alessandro’s office, he told him.

_ You are late.

_ I am also a busy person, since I ordered to reinforce all the barriers the work in the tower has multiplied.

– And as a van?

_ Not so well, someone has been destroying them, my wizards are exhausted and they spend their time complaining.

_ Try to focus on protecting the towns and villages that are near the barriers. _

I have already done that, is that just why he called me?

_ No, actually he wanted to ask you a favor.

Sirius was surprised that Alessandro was asking him for a favor and not changing a request

- What is it about?

_ I need a magical protection object for April, something that can protect her while I am away.

_ What she is asking me is almost impossible, her power can nullify my magic.

_ April does not control her power, she cannot use her power to protect herself that is why I am asking you this favor, I know that what I am asking is not something simple, but I know that for you it is not impossible.

Sirius sighed heavily, pushed back his hair and said.

_ Why is everyone asking me for such difficult things today.

I can order you if you refuse, but I don’t want to do it, I’m asking you this as a friend Sirius, please lend me your help.

In reality if I had ordered it, Sirius would have had a reason to refuse, but since it was a request from his friend he couldn’t do it.

_ You are very clever, you have made sure that I do not refuse, I will do what I can, but I do not assure you that it

will work. I assure you that it will work.

_ I know it will, for a reason you are the owner of the wizard tower, I also wanted to ask you to help April control her magic, although several of the seals that limit her magic have been broken, she cannot use freedom.

_ I can’t come to the palace every day, I can’t neglect the wizards’ tower, but she could come with me, the wizards’ tower is the safest place in the kingdom, besides I think it would be good for her to get out of the palace, I heard that the elf army is already here.

Alessandro refused the idea of ​​separating from April, but he knew how much she hated confinement and at that moment she was locked in her room to prevent any of the elves who had gone to help them from confusing April with her mother, since the two were the same.

_ I hate the idea of ​​separating from my wife, but I am aware that this is the best for her at the moment, I will leave her in your care for a while.

A while.

_ I will take good care of her, your majesty.

_ I think it will be best for her to leave with me immediately.

_ No, I still have to tell her, come back tomorrow.

_ Okay, I will return tomorrow, with your permission I will leave, your majesty. Shortly after Sirius left, Gabriel knocked on the door and asked,

“Your Majesty, may I come in? Come in.”

When Gabriel entered, Alessandro put down the documents he was holding and asked,

“What is it, Gabriel?

” “Duke Alfonso Vampel has requested an audience with His Majesty.

Tell him I’m busy.

” I already did, but he keeps insisting he wants to speak to His Majesty.”

Alessandro hated meeting Duke Vampel. He was an old fox, every time he asked for a vampel, he was an old fox, every time he asked for an audience with him, it was because he wanted something and usually Alessandro couldn’t refuse since he controlled most of the nobles. He sighed heavily and said,

“Fine, tell him I’ll see him.”

After Gabriel left, Alessandro wondered what demand the Duke would make that day. Alessandro cursed the Duke out loud. He just wanted to finish his work as quickly as he could to go to April and the Duke’s visit only delayed him.

_Damn, why did he have to come precisely today.

Alessandro was waiting for the Duke, but was surprised to hear April’s sweet voice, asking if he could come in. He quickly went to the door, opened it and when he saw April he said.

- What are you doing here?

That day April had been a little sad. That day she didn’t want to be alone. She longed for a hug, that’s why she had gone to see Alessandro even though he had forbidden her to leave. But when she saw that he wasn’t well received, she turned around and said.

I just wanted to see you, but I guess I’m just a nuisance. I’ll go back to my room.

Alessandro took April’s hand and pulled her into the office. He closed the door and said.

You’re never a nuisance. Really?

_ Of course, but tell me, has something happened?

Abril hugged him, pressing his face against Alessandro’s chest and replied.

_ Nothing’s wrong, you just need a hug.

Alessandro hugged him back, both of them stayed that way for a minute, then Alessandro separated and forced Alessandro hugged him back, both of them Abril to look at him.

_ You can’t fool me, I know something’s wrong with you, what is it?

_ It’s really nothing, I just wanted a hug, I just wanted to remember that I’m not alone anymore.
