Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 36

36 Jealousy Cassian was in his room tossing and turning in bed, he still couldn't believe that he had fallen in love with April, that was the first time he had that kind of feelings and he didn't really know what to do with them since he couldn't tell the princess that he loved her because she was his brother's wife, but Cassian couldn't help but think about what she would say about that, what she would say if she found out that he was in love with her.

That night Cassian could hardly sleep, he had spent the whole night thinking about the princess and when he had finally managed to sleep he had dreamed about her, he dreamed that he confessed to his brother his feelings for the princess and that he saw her with a look full of pain, he felt hurt, betrayed by his brother.

When Cassian woke up, one thing was clear to him: he would never tell his brother what he felt towards the princess, that was something he would keep a secret to himself.

That afternoon Cassian had arranged to meet April in the garden for a walk.

While walking through the halls of the palace he met Duke Vampel, who approached him and greeted him.

_Good afternoon, Prince Cassian.

_Good afternoon, Duke.

Cassian was in a hurry, he was going to ignore the duke and continue on his way, but the duke stood in his way and said.

_I would like to speak to the prince for a moment if you allow me.

_I'm a bit busy at the moment, I have something important to do.

_I won't take up much of your time, prince, it will only be a moment.

Cassian knew that the duke could be a very annoying man when he wanted to, he was not going to let him go without hearing what he had to say, Cassian agreed to his request.

_Keep it short.

_Thank you very much for listening to me, prince.
