"I'm glad that like this, you'll be able to sin, just like that. Let us see each other again; let us fly together." "Yes, for sure, we will see you again, Daddy?" "Ready, my little one." Abril knew everything for them; if only they were in a place where time flowed differently. They continued talking, even though it was Lissana who captured all of her attention. When communication between Alessandro and Lissana broke down, he found himself staring into a large mirror that reflected the moonlight.That night, the sun would sleep for a few hours, and nightmares would fill his dreams, reminding him of the past. Alessandro woke up in a cold sweat, rising from the bed. He washed his face, feeling suffocated in that room, and stepped out into the garden. He arrived at the tree, hoping to find the portal open. He approached the trunk, willing it to reveal a way to the fairies and his family. But nothing happened; the portal remained closed. In the end, he decided to retreat to his workshop and continue working.The next day, Gabriel arrived very early to see the king, who was still laboring over his tasks. "Haven't you gone to sleep?" Gabriel asked. "I tried, but I couldn't. Finally, I decided it was best to return," Alessandro replied, his voice heavy with fatigue. "When I don't have Aby around, when I don't have Lissana, the nightmares return." "This is the second night that you haven't slept. You should ask the doctor to prepare a sleeping potion." "I don't want to; those medicines upset me," Alessandro protested. "Princess Kiara is in the palace.You should ask her for help." "Fine, I'll do that," he conceded reluctantly. Gabriel pressed on. "What will you do if you ask for it tonight and can't sleep?" "It's fine. If that's the case and His Majesty doesn't want to follow through..." Alessandro continued working throughout the day, evading his solitude with the tasks at hand. He lost track of time, and when he finally looked up, it seemed the night would never end. Gabriel decided to seek out Kiara. He knocked on her door and asked to enter. "By all means, come in," she replied. After a quick glance at him, Kiara frowned."You look terrible." "Gabriel says he's fine," she added, glancing at the young man beside her. "You're not fine. You asked me for help before you collapse. You must rest." "When I don't sleep, I always feel tired. I'd rather not go several days without rest. I'll be fine." "When you don't rest properly, your mind becomes cloudy. You can't think straight or act well. As a king, you can't afford to have a foggy mind. Everything in the kingdom depends on you and the decisions you make." "I know that already," Alessandro said, his tone weary. "I'll help you sleep.You won't have nightmares tonight, so you can return to your home." "That room suffocates me," he admitted, sinking back onto the sofa. "Then sleep here," Kiara suggested gently. "If that is what you want..." Kiara approached him, placing a finger to her lips. "They're good. Just relax, and maybe they'll leave you in peace." "I hope so," he murmured. "Now, sleep," she urged. Immediately, Alessandro closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber. When Kiara stepped out of the room, Gabriel asked her, "Is His Majesty sleeping?" "Yes, just go to your room as soon as possible," she replied."I don't know how you feel, but a king shouldn't be influenced by his emotions. He carries the weight of the entire kingdom on his shoulders. His wife and daughter are well; there's no reason for him to fall apart." "It's difficult for His Majesty to let go of his daughter, but he must remember that the reign is supported by him. Now it's time to stand strong. He can't be alone with his nightmares; he needs to rest." "Why does he have nightmares?" Gabriel inquired. "They began when his brothers killed each other and King Venobich during the war. He always blames himself for it.noveldramaHe only began to sleep well when he was beside the queen. When the kingdom was free of problems, he could rest, but now that he's alone, the nightmares have returned." "I can help him sleep with my magic. Tonight, in the tent, he will sleep well, so don't worry about him resting." When Gabriel arrived at the workshop and saw the relaxed expression on the king's face, he asked, "Are you feeling better?" "Yes, thanks to your help with the nightmares," Alessandro replied. "I will ask Kiara for advice. She said something important: a king can't have a cloudy mind.She's absolutely right." "She told me the same. I can't let my family down; I must remain firm and alert for any attack." "I believe you'll sleep well if you center yourself," Gabriel encouraged. Alessandro handed Gabriel a few letters. "I want you to send these." Gabriel read the letters and saw that they were all requests for assistance from other kingdoms. "What are these letters for?" he asked. "I hope to gather support from other kingdoms.I want to celebrate a meeting to see who is willing to fight in this war and provide their support." The months passed quickly in the land of last years. Lissana grew day by day, but Tarik came, little by little, barely aware of the dangers that surrounded them.
