An invitation was extended, and there was no need to ask for it; on that day, it would be important for her. "If one day you are able to marry your beautiful elf, I hope I can be there for you," the voice echoed in her mind. "I also hope to see you, even though my relationship is a bit complicated and, for various reasons, prevents us from being together. You can't be with the person you love because it hurts, and I'm dying. It seems we have little luck in our relationships." "It's true.Perhaps we weren't good at choosing," came the reply. "I don't believe it's a matter of choice. I think our problems run deeper than that, maybe something is keeping us from being together. You'll have to do something to break this curse. If you find a way to achieve it first, let me know. If I discover a way to win, you will be the first to understand." When Abril returned to the palace, she called for one of the servants. "Search everywhere and bring it before me." "As you command, Your Majesty," the servant replied. Meanwhile, Alessandro would be arriving soon.Enora mentioned, "I'll let you know as soon as he gets here." "You should think carefully about what he says to you. Your body won't be able to withstand so much power for long," Enora warned. "I will," Abril promised. There was little time left, and there was one thing Abril hadn't been able to ask. "I have a fairy, she is dying. I tried to heal her with magic, but it didn't work." "I'm taking care of your daughter," Enora assured her. "I saw something rare about her.Now I understand what it was; she is nurturing." "Is there any help for her?" "Being close to you will help, but it's temporary. Each species has its own ailments. You can heal her; she should return to the land of the fairies. There, she will have more power in her kingdom. Perhaps the queen knows how to cure her, even if she seems very old. If anyone knows, it must be Serella." "Thank you." "I'm sorry I can't be of much help," Enora said, gesturing to a tray filled with jars of different colors.noveldramaOne of those bottles looked familiar to Abril; it was the same one that had been given to her by Ethan. "This is a gift for you. The elves have created these potions for magic annulment. You can't use many things to heal us, but these potions will help you recover faster and increase your magical resources. Just try to use them sparingly; it's very difficult to achieve." "Thank you," Abril replied, her heart swelling with gratitude."Be very careful, and if someone needs my help, don't hesitate to ask." "I don't dislike you anymore, and what happens is all my fault, Mother, but I still thank you." "It's not that you don't like me; I just have a hard time accepting that things are different. It feels unnatural." "I understand." Just then, Alessandro appeared, and Abril felt a wave of happiness wash over her. He wrapped his arm around her and asked, "Is everything alright?" "Yes, everything is fine," she replied, her heart racing.Enora interjected, "How did you fare against the guardians?" "A bird of Hades warned me that the two keys must be together; that would be dangerous." "I think so too. It's better if both keys remain hidden, and if possible, let the missing key never appear." "My sister Cira will not rest until she finds her," Alessandro said with determination. "Then we must protect the key that remains," Enora added. "That's it," Alessandro agreed. "You are a guardian. If you need the clans, we are obliged to help. Don't forget that," Enora reminded him. "I won't," he promised."I suppose they ended up at the scene," Enora continued. "Suppose we want to go back home..." "Then there is the portal for users." Enora moved toward the portal when Kiara appeared. "Mother, please wait." "What's going on, Kiara?" "We need to talk for a moment." "What could it be now?" "Yes, it has to be important." "Fine, go ahead," Enora said, her tone softening.When they left the room, Enora asked, "What's going on, Kiara?" "I want to go with them." "No, don't go with the humans." "Why not?" "Because I don't want you to suffer, and I don't understand why you want to go with them." "I want to help. A war against darkness is underway.For starters, I want to support my cousin." "I don't agree with them." "But I'm with you, and I know you'll end up doing what I don't want to, so I won't stop you from going." "Really?!" "Yes, but I ask you to be very careful while you are there." "Don't worry, just take care of me very well." "You will have to stop your things; they want to leave now." "It's priceless; I have everything I need right here," Kiara said, holding her bag tightly. "Now you have to convince them to take you.I doubt they will allow you to go with them." "Don't worry, I'm sure it won't be denied." When they turned back, they found Alessandro waiting for them. He asked what they had discussed. "Let her go to the human kingdom," Enora said. With a nod, Enora opened the portal that led to the kingdom of Cosset, directly to Alessandro and Abril's home. As they prepared to cross, Enora said, "I leave my daughter in your care." "Don't worry, we'll take good care of her," Alessandro assured. Abril and Lissana crossed the portal together. Kiara turned to see her mother before stepping through."Take care, Kiara." She smiled and replied, "I'm ready, Mama." Kiara crossed the portal, joining Dantriel, who had remained behind. He approached Enora and said, "I'm surprised there was no reason to stop her." "There was no point in trying; she would always find a way."
