"It's best if I just tell you. Please, help me," Cassian said, taking the documents in hand. "Do you believe that Irius has arrived in the kingdom of Laios?" he continued. "I suppose he promised to send me a report daily, and I hope it will arrive by the end of the day. I trust everyone is well." Abril had dedicated the entire day to caring for the sick. The villagers were in a horrible state; without her, they would have suffered far longer than two days.noveldramaAfter dealing with Sirius, she approached him and said, "We need to talk." "Now?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes. It's not wise to leave us alone for so long. This place is dangerous." "Indeed, you're right. We should prepare to leave," he replied, glancing around. "Let's find a suitable location," she suggested. "I want to purify the land; otherwise, I won't be able to remember anything." "Right now, you need to look for Taren," Sirius said. "There are more rice fields than we can manage." Abril donned her cape and headed toward the rice fields.The ground lay dry and cracked, completely ruined. She wasn't sure if she could purify it, but she refused to leave without trying. Kneeling, she placed her hand in the dirt and infused it with her magic. The earth trembled, and the desolation began to fade. The once-dead fields stirred, striving to come back to life, and soon the rice plants flourished, vibrant and green. Abril felt a surge of triumph; she had helped restore the villagers' sustenance. Sirius marveled at the transformation. "How have you revived this?" he asked, astonished."Tell me, my power is stronger than before, and my control over it has improved. You would be surprised at what I can do now." "I am surprised," he admitted. "Reviving a barren land with all its crops is remarkable." "I've completed everything I needed to do," she said, glancing around. "Now, where is Taren? I believe I need to find him." "He won't be long," Sirius assured her. Taren soon appeared, leading three horses that looked weary but alive. "I've got our transport," he announced. Abril approached the horses, touching each one and infusing them with her magic.They sprang back to life, their spirits renewed. "Let's go," she urged. "There's nothing left for us here. We must continue our journey." They set off once more, making their way to the royal capital of Laios. As they rode through the woods surrounding the village, they found a suitable spot to camp. Despite the forest's gloom, they started a fire, and Taren ventured deeper into the woods to hunt, having given all their provisions to the villagers. Once Taren was gone, Sirius began writing a letter. When he finished, he used his magic to transform it into a bird that soared into the sky.Abril approached, curious about what he was doing. "What are you up to?" she asked. "I'm sending a report to your husband. I promised to keep him updated on our journey each day; otherwise, he wouldn't find peace." "Are you sure it's safe? Someone else could read your letter," she cautioned. "It's a magical letter; only you and the king can read it, Your Majesty," he replied confidently. "Then you want me to write something?" "Of course, if you wish." "Have you missed them?" she inquired."Yes, only a day has passed, but when you're separated from your loved ones, time feels both fleeting and agonizingly slow." "Let's hope we can find some joy in this village," she said. "We should be in the royal capital of Laios by now." "Indeed, many will perish today, and within a few days, no one will be left." "You can't help everyone on this journey, Abril," Sirius warned. "Sometimes I've been ill and prayed for help. When you know that no assistance will come, what do you do?" "I don't know," he admitted. "Well, I do. These people are in the same situation I once faced.With this power, I can save many, and I want to help those who have been abandoned and are suffering." "I'm sorry, but I can't understand your reasons," Sirius said, shaking his head. "If you say this will be a short trip-three days at most-I wouldn't want to rush it. According to the old man we met, there are many nearby villages suffering just like this one. I want to visit each of them and help them." "Yes, it took us days to reach the royal capital of Laios," he replied."That's why I ask you to continue supporting me on this journey, which is only beginning and may not have a clear end." Sirius scratched his head, let out a heavy sigh, and finally said, "Alessandro won't like this." "I care for him, but I can't ignore these people out of selfishness." "Fine, I'll continue to accompany you. I'll stay with you until you decide to return, and I believe Taren will follow wherever we go." "I'm happy to hear that," Abril said, relief washing over her. "This trip will no longer be a secret." "I want to help you with this," he replied. "Good.When the time comes, you'll see what I can do." Taren returned, lifting his hands high. "I've been distracted, but here we are," he said, handing over the supplies to Sirius. "I'm caught up now; you can cook," Sirius said, using his magic to clean the ingredients and prepare the meal. Taren watched in awe. "I still don't understand how you can do so much with your magic." "I use spells instead of relying solely on my mana, which is why I can accomplish more than a simple magic user," Sirius explained. "Does that mean I can learn your spells?" Taren asked eagerly."No, you can't just pick them up. It takes practice," Sirius replied. "But I want to learn how to do what you did earlier." "I'm telling you, it's not that simple." "Why not?" Taren pressed. "Just think about what makes you happy," Sirius said, settling down by the fire as the aroma of food filled the air. Abril turned to Taren. "Let's find other villages nearby and help if necessary." "I will follow you wherever you wish, Your Majesty," Taren replied, determination shining in his eyes.
