CHAPTER 186: SEALING A PROMISE WITH A KISS

That night April had a strange dream, she was in the garden under a big tree while she saw a beautiful girl with brown hair and golden eyes. The little girl smiled happily and ran around chasing a butterfly, Alessandro was by her side telling her how happy he was. The next morning when she woke up, she wondered what that dream had been about.

Alessandro was still sleeping next to her, his appearance was better, he no longer looked pale, although his face still looked a little haggard. She put her hand on his chest and began to infuse her magic into him. Alessandro woke up, held her hand and asked her.

- What are you doing?

You didn’t look very well, and I infused my magic into you so you’d recover.

_I’m fine.

April caressed Alessandro’s beard and said to him.

_The beard doesn’t suit you.

_You hate them so much.

_It’s not that I hate it, it just bothers me and makes me a little uncomfortable when you kiss me.

April got out of bed, wrapped herself in a robe and went to the balcony, while the soft, whitish rays of the winter sun bathed April’s body, it seemed to shine as if she were the one emitting that light. Alessandro stared at her for a moment, April smiled at him and said.

_It’s a beautiful day today, why don’t you go out to the balcony. Alessandro did what she asked, he put on his pants, wrapped himself in a robe and went to where she was, he hugged her from behind and said.

I think your idea of ​​a good day is wrong.

_But it’s a beautiful day.

_ Of course not, it’s cold, the sun’s rays still don’t warm enough.

_ Well for me it’s a beautiful day because I’m with you.

_ I asked if we’ll ever be together without anything threatening us.

Alessandro began to say out of nowhere.

Abril recorded the dream she had that night, she didn’t know if that dream was some vision of the future or if it had just been a simple dream, but she still wanted to tell him a little about what she had seen.

She leaned on Alessandro while looking at the imposing mountains still covered by snow in the distance and replied.

_ I think so, I couldn’t tell you when but I’m sure that one day we’ll be together without any worries and who knows maybe we’ll even be surrounded by children.

Alessandro placed his chin on Abril’s shoulder and replied.

_ I would really love that, I wonder what our children would look like.

Abril recorded the image of the girl in her dream and without a doubt thought that this is what a child between them would look like.

_ Hum ... maybe she has white skin, straight brown hair and golden eyes.

_ or maybe she has curly hair like you.

_ Hum ... I don’t think so, something tells me that she will look more like you than me, at least the first.

- The first?

Yes, I think our first child will be a girl.

_ Well that doesn’t matter, no matter what we look like we will love him with all our hearts.

Yes, you’re right about that.

Cassian knocked on the door, Alessandro complained.

_ It seems our time alone is over.

_ We must prepare.

Alessandro hated the idea of ​​​​returning to his obligations since that meant that he had to separate from April, but he also knew that that was something he could not continue neglecting, he sighed heavily and said.

I guess we have no other choice. April answered Cassian’s call.

_ Wait a moment, we’ll open it soon.

April went to her closet and took out a soft pink dress, straight cut with white decorations, Alessandro seeing that April had chosen a very light dress said to her.

_ We’re still in winter, you should wear something warmer.

In reality April hadn’t felt cold since she woke up, on the contrary, she felt as if a strange warmth surrounded her, but as she didn’t want to worry Alessandro she put the dress away again and took out another green dress made of thick fabrics that provided warmth; she tied her hair in a high ponytail and said to him.

_ I’m ready.

Alessandro had also just finished changing, he opened the door, his brother had a somewhat gloomy expression on his face, it seemed that something was worrying him.

- What’s wrong?

_ I spoke to Fay this morning and...

- What’s wrong Cassian? Why are you hesitating so much?

_ I told him that we accepted the alliance with the fairies, he seemed pleased with that but he wants to leave immediately and for April to accompany him.

– Ii What?!, that guy has gone completely crazy.

_ I told him that was not possible since April has only been awake for a day, but he said that he could not continue waiting, that we accept his requests or there would be no alliance since there would be no kingdom to save if we took any longer.

Alessandro was going to reply when April answered.

_ Then there is no other choice, tell him that I will go with him.

_ Aby, you can’t go with him.

_ Lessan I understand that you don’t want us to separate, in reality I wouldn’t want to do it either, but what Fay says is true, if we continue postponing our help there will be no one to help since everyone will be dead.

_ Then I will go with you, I will not let you go alone.

– And what will happen to the kingdom? Cassian could do…

Cassian interrupted his brother’s words.

_ I’m sorry Lessan, but I will not continue taking care of the kingdom, or your obligations, Maya will also return to the land of fairies, I will go with her, I have already abandoned her once, I could not do it a second time, I hope you understand.

Alessandro knew that his brother had put off going to find the woman he loved to help with the war. He could not continue taking advantage of him.

I understand you brother, forgive me for even suggesting that you stay. Thank you for understanding.

April took Alessandro’s hand and with a warm smile said.

_ Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I already defeated my father who is very powerful, defeating my brothers will be easy.

Alessandro remembered that April’s brothers were the ones who caused him terrible nightmares.

- Are you sure about that? They caused you a lot of harm in the past.

_ I am no longer that helpless girl they bothered, I am strong and powerful, I will never tremble before them again.

Alessandro was reluctant to let April go alone, so he said.

_ Maybe I can leave Gabriel a position in the palace and go together to face your brothers.

_ Don’t even try.

_ Gabriel was just talking about you, I would like to...

– No.

_ But I haven’t said anything yet.

_ Your majesty, right now the kingdom is going through a bad time, as king you can’t leave.

Alessandro wonders how bad the kingdom would be for Gabriel to be talking that way.

April said again.

– Lessan, I’ll be fine, stay here and take care of our kingdom, I’ll be back soon, I promise.

– Okay, I’ll stay, but promise me that you won’t do anything reckless that will endanger your life.

_ I promise.

Alessandro leaned down, gave her a soft kiss on the lips to seal the promise between the two and said.

_ I’ll be waiting for you as soon as I come back safe and sound. I will do so my love.
