"Why don't you think about doing something bad?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice. "I can't oppose the wishes of the queen, only my mother," he replied. "Just wait until you make your decision about whether you want to be king." "I suppose there's no other option. Besides, we don't even know if he wants the kingdom," she said, her brow furrowing. Maya laughed softly and said, "It's funny that while many people aspire to become king and scheme to obtain the throne, we reject it.Being king in the human world is easy, but being king in the land of fairies is different. The entire world depends on its king." "I hate being tied to such expectations, so I don't want to become queen," Abril admitted. "But I thought about you before you arrived." "I love this kingdom, but I don't want to bear such a heavy burden on my shoulders. I didn't want Tarik to become king, but even as his father, he must make his own choices." Cassian was something entirely different. He had been born a prince and had to follow the wishes of others throughout his life.Only after falling alone did he realize the weight of those expectations. "Let me know what you want, because I expected nothing from him," he said. "I suppose it's good to think that way, that fairies lived with such freedom," Abril mused. From that day on, Maya left the palace, feeling shy. She began to grow closer to Lissana, and as they matured, their friendship seemed to strengthen even more. When Maya's baby was born, it was a beautiful child with chestnut hair and red eyes.Cassian was so happy that sometimes he felt guilty, knowing that his brother and Abril, with their daughter, couldn't be together as a family, no matter how much they longed for it. Lissana felt hurried, but her power was growing. Even though it was already sharp and formidable, it surpassed any expectations. Maya was feeding the baby when Cassian asked, "What's going on?" "I was just thinking about my brother and Alessandro, about the pain they must feel not being able to be with you," she replied, her voice heavy with emotion.noveldramaThis was the only woman who had joined the human world, and her body could not bear such immense power. "If she is here, I am the only one who can help Alessandro and Lessan find a way to save their daughter," she thought, her heart breaking at the thought. Every day, Abril communicated with Maya, eagerly anticipating their conversations. She couldn't help but cry, knowing she was missing her daughter's first steps and first words. The monsters continued to attack the kingdom, and despite her regrets, there was no way to confront the human-shaped monsters again.She was grateful for that, as facing them had not been easy. "I still don't know anything about Cira," she sighed, feeling the weight of her absence. "When it's all over, and I can't be with my daughter..." Alessandro entered the room, sensing her distress. "Don't despair; it will be over soon." "Soon? I don't know if that's true. Sometimes I just wish Cira would appear so we could end this," she replied, frustration creeping into her voice. Abril leaned against Alessandro and asked, "Now where are we going?" "We will go to the city of Zather," he said.The city of Zather was the territory of Duchess Mollin, and it was where Abril had left Otis and Joe. "The city of Zather is beautiful," she remarked. "However, it's not without its dangers. But if you've always wanted to go, it will be easier to move, and we can also take a good rest," he reassured her. "I hope the duchess and her children are well. They've suffered so much; I don't want to return to a similar situation," she said, her voice filled with concern. "Let's ensure nothing bad happens. We can't afford to be careless," he replied."No, the horsemen are tired; they need to rest, and you do too," he insisted. "I'm fine," she protested. "Even so, we don't know what we'll face. Fighting monsters during the day is one thing, but at night it would be suicide." "I suppose you're right," she conceded. "It's still early in the morning." Despite Alessandro's insistence that they rest, Abril couldn't shake her worry. She couldn't stop thinking about Mollin and the children, hoping to reunite with them safely. The next morning, Abril woke up early and nudged Alessandro. "We need to leave immediately.I want to check on the duchess and the children." Alessandro got up immediately, ready to follow her lead. "I think it would be best to go with Duchess Mollin; she will provide us with more information about what's happening." "Thank you, Lessan," she said gratefully. "If you weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do. It's dangerous to distract ourselves during a battle." "Let's not waste any more time. I want to ensure we have the rest of our childhood ahead of us," he replied, determination in his voice. They marched toward the city of Zather.When they arrived at Duchess Mollin's mansion, Abril felt a wave of relief wash over her when she saw that there were no signs of darkness; the mansion had not yet been attacked. A servant rushed to inform the duchess that the king and queen had arrived. She came to the entrance to greet them, her demeanor respectful and warm. "Hello, Duchess. It's been a while since we last saw each other," Abril said, her gaze softening as she remembered how the duchess had accepted her as queen. "It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome you to my home," the duchess replied.Just then, Otis and Joe came running out of the mansion, embracing Abril with enthusiasm. "Sister, you've come to visit us!" they exclaimed in unison. The duchess looked pale, and Abril noticed. "Children, I don't think you should greet me like that," she said gently. Otis and Joe stepped back, bowing slightly. "Greetings to Her Majesty, the Queen," they said in unison, their voices filled with respect. The duchess smiled at Abril, her eyes reflecting the bond they shared.
