Chapter 174

CHAPTER 181: A POWER THAT CANNOT BE HIDDEN

April woke up with a severe headache, the light that entered the room was annoying, she used her hand to block the light from her eyes. The door opened and she immediately heard Alessandro’s voice who rushed to her side, put his arms around her and said with a broken voice.

Thank God she has woken up.

Alessandro was hugging her very tightly, April felt like she would be crushed if he didn’t let go soon.

_Lessan, you’ll make me faint if you keep hugging me so tightly. Alessandro loosened his hug, but didn’t let go, he was shaking slightly, April asked.

-What happened? Have we won? Yes.

_Good, it’s finally all over.

April replied somewhat sadly since the price for winning had been very high, she had lost her mother and her father who deep down did love her.

Alessandro released her from his embrace. She hadn’t seen him properly before, as her eyes hadn’t gotten used to the light yet, but at that moment she saw that Alessandro looked pale and haggard, he had a beard as if it had been several days without him removing it. April felt confused, after the battle she had fainted, but how long had she been unconscious? That was something she didn’t know, she looked around and recognized that place, it was her room, she was back in the royal palace.

_ Lessan, how long have I been unconscious?

_ It’s been 15 days, you didn’t wake up, I was... The words got stuck in Alessandro’s throat, he had been 15 days with her waiting for her to wake up, during that time he hadn’t eaten properly and slept very little, during all the time she was asleep, he hadn’t stopped asking God to wake her up.

He hugged her again and said.

_ I thought I lost you.

April was shocked to find out that she had been unconscious for 15 days, but it didn’t take long for her to realize how much Alessandro must have suffered during those 15 days that she didn’t wake up. She hugged him back and said.

_ I’m sorry, you should have…

_ You have nothing to apologize for.

April didn’t know what to say to calm Alessandro’s anxious heart. So she just kept hugging him for a long time. When Alessandro calmed down a bit, he realized that April hadn’t eaten for fifteen days, he let go of her and said.

_ You must be hungry, I’ll ask them to bring you something light to eat.

April wasn’t aware of how hungry she was until Alessandro mentioned it.

The truth is that I’m dying for something to eat, I would really appreciate it if you did.

Alessandro looked out the door and called the maids, they were nearby, that was an order that Alessandro had given when he had returned to the palace, he wanted some maids to stay close for when April woke up. He announced that his wife had already woken up, all the maids rejoiced and thanked the heavens for the queen’s awakening; Alessandro asked them to tell his brother and to get something light to eat for his wife, also to call the doctor so he could check her.

When Alessandro returned to the room April attacked him with questions about the war.

- Are Maya and Cassian okay? How did the war end? Were all the monsters destroyed or are there still more? What happened to the kingdom of Laios?

- Calm down, if you ask me so many questions at once I won’t know how to answer, besides right now you should only worry about yourself, about recovering.

_I’m fine, now I just want to catch up, I want to know what happened during these fifteen days that you were sleeping.

Alessandro sighed, he knew that no matter what he said, April would not stop asking until she knew what had happened, so he began to answer his questions in the order he had formulated them.

_ Cassian and Maya are fine, you ended the war, all the monsters that were on the battlefield were destroyed by your flames and about what will happen to the kingdom of Laios I still do not know.

_ We won the war, I thought you would take control of the kingdom of Laios or at least that is what Gabriel explained to me.

_ It is normal but even if we won the war we do not know what is hidden behind the walls of the kingdom of Laios, we cannot enter recklessly, we do not know what we will find there since your brothers are still alive.

For a moment April had completely forgotten about her brothers, she remembered that Maya had gone there to get their help to defeat her sister since she was attacking the land of fairies.

_It’s true, I had forgotten, we still have to defeat my sister Cira.

_Yes, but right now there are more important things that we worry about.

-What things?

One of the maids arrived with April’s food, Alessandro did not answer the question that the maid had asked him, he left the food and then left, Alessandro put the tray next to the bed and began to feed her, April told him.

_ I can do it alone. _

You are weak, you must let me do it.

April felt hungry, but she didn’t feel weak, she wondered if it was because she had released all her magic, if it was her own power that was sustaining her, but she didn’t say anything and just ate what Alessandro gave her, she finished all the soup, but still her hunger was not satisfied.

_Lessan I’m very hungry, a simple bowl of soup won’t satisfy me.

_Then I’ll ask for another one to be brought.

_Actually I would prefer something that will satisfy me a little more.

_You were 15 days without eating, it’s not good for you to eat heavy meals, it will make you feel bad.

_But...

_ But nothing, for a few days you will only be able to eat light meals. While Alessandro headed to the door April told him.

_ Lessan, I’m really fine, I don’t know how to explain it, even though I’ve been unconscious for so long my body doesn’t feel weak, well my head hurt a while ago but not anymore, although it was 15 days, I feel as if it had been one, so don’t worry so much.

Alessandro squeezed the tray he was carrying in his hands, Abril didn’t seem to lie and although he found it hard to believe, deep down he knew it was true she was fine and that was due to the great power she held in her body, since after breaking the last seal it was something she could no longer hide and that was something that made him feel nervous and anxious, since even if he tried he could no longer hide who Abril was, a princess of the elven kingdom; With a somewhat sad smile he replied.

_I already know that.
