Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 101

102 I 'm getting selfish After such a hectic afternoon, Abril slept deeply.

Alessandro stayed up to watch over her.

He had only been away for a few days, but for him those days had seemed like an eternity.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to be away from her.

Alessandro hated the idea of ​​starting a war, he knew that when that happened he would have to be on the battlefield for a long time and although at first he had thought about using April's power to win the war, he no longer thought that way, the mere idea of ​​April being on the battlefield surrounded by death terrified him, because he could no longer imagine a life without her.

But war was imminent, Alessandro knew that they had to finish off King Venobich before he continued to unleash more horrors on his kingdom.

What he didn't understand was why he was doing his experiments on his kingdom, he should have known that he would notice and be prepared for what was to come or maybe that was just a small part, the spoils he didn't need and what was to come would be even worse.

Alessandro got out of bed, when he did Abril woke up and asked him.

_ Where are you going? _I was going to get something to eat.

April looked out the window, it was already completely dark, she sat on the bed while covering herself with the sheet, she asked.

_ Did we miss dinner? _I think so, are you hungry? _Yeah.

Alessandro gave her a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_I'll go ask for dinner to be brought to us, I'll be right back.

_Don't be late.

_Don't worry, I won't.

After Alessandro left, April got out of bed, went to the closet and took out a white silk nightgown, then went out to the balcony, a soft, fresh breeze caressed her face, she looked at the garden, it looked beautiful, the moonflowers shone beautifully.

She sighed heavily, her journey was coming to an end, the next day she would be returning to the royal palace, something she did not feel very keen on, for the first time she had left the palace walls, for the first time she had tasted what freedom was like and for the first time, she wished that her freedom would not be taken away from her, she wondered how long she would spend locked behind the palace walls before she could leave again.

_I'm getting selfish.

Alessandro had returned to the room and had heard what Abril had said.

_ Why do you say that? _You're back.

Alessandro approached, put his arms around her and asked again.

_ Why do you say you're becoming selfish? _Because even though I had nothing before, now I want more things.

_You know that you can ask for whatever you want and I will give it to you.

_I know.

_Then why don't you tell me what you want.

_I...

_Come on, say it, ask me what you want.

_We might not return to the palace.

_ Don't you want to come back? _It's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that it's the first time I'm away, that my eyes look at the horizon and there is no limit, I wish this would last a little longer.

_I can't give you that, although I would love to continue traveling with you, showing you new places, but I can't, as king I have a responsibility to my people, I am tied to them.

_I know and that's why I said I'm selfish, because even though I know you can't abandon your obligations as king, I would like you to do so, to always be with me.

Alessandro kissed her, when they separated their lips he gently caressed her hair and said to her.

_Then I am also selfish, for wanting the same thing as you.

April hugged him, Alessandro hugged her back and said.
