As he wandered, he encountered Gabriel, who inquired, "Have you seen Abril?" "I'm looking for the house where she might be," Alessandro replied, his voice tense. "Why would she be in that place?" Gabriel asked, raising an eyebrow. "She's my wife. Why are you here?" Alessandro snapped, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "She has been your wife for a long time," Gabriel said, his tone casual. "Perhaps it's best to forget her." "Forget her?" Alessandro echoed incredulously."Once again, she must have gone to a place she considers safe." Alessandro approached Abril's small house, standing before the door, pondering what kind of husband he had been. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He knocked, calling her name, but received no response. "Abril, if you don't open the door, I'll break it down. I won't leave until we talk," he insisted. Finally, the door creaked open, revealing Abril, her eyes red as if she had been crying. "We can talk," she said softly. "No, I don't want to talk. I want to be alone," she replied, her voice heavy with sorrow."But you must listen to me. It's not that simple. I can't recover my memories of you, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still your wife." "I know that," she said, her frustration evident. "But now it's time for us to create new memories," he urged. "Even if you can fall in love with me again, what about our daughters? We can't recover the memories we've lost. It's not something that can happen overnight," she said, letting out a long sigh. "I want to be alone to process everything that's happening. I need time before I can fulfill my duties as queen," Abril added, her resolve firm.Alessandro felt a pang of helplessness. Not remembering her made him feel as though he had no right to demand anything from her. "Fine, I'll leave," he said reluctantly. As he turned away, Abril closed the door softly. He wandered into the city, hoping to offer assistance. Many houses had been destroyed by recent attacks, and the sorcerers were using their magic to help with repairs while the horsemen cleared the rubble. He spotted Taren and approached him. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked. "Your Majesty, it's good to see you again," Taren replied with a bow."Though I wish it were under better circumstances." "Is there anything you can do?" Alessandro pressed. "Everything is under control here," Taren assured him. "The sorcerers are handling the healing. We've used a lot of magic to mend the wounds." Alessandro knew that the suggestion of rest was not enough. He feared another attack, especially since Abril hadn't fully regained her magic. If they were attacked again, they would need all their strength. "Then you must come to me," he insisted. Abril didn't want to follow Alessandro's thoughts.She would return to reclaim her power, but first, she wanted to survey the city before heading back. While there, she encountered Fa. "I thought you were gone," Fa said, surprised. "I'll be here for a few days. I want to study the dragon that killed them. If a dragon army comes, it will be chaos," she replied. "Please keep me informed," Fa said, his expression serious. "I'll also look for any weaknesses in them." "Thank you," Abril said, appreciating his help. "But we need to take the dragon's body elsewhere.It will become a problem for those who live here if it starts to decompose." "Sirius is in charge of the tower. You should ask him for assistance," Fa suggested. "I know who he is. I met him during the war against King Venobich," Abril replied. As she walked through the streets, she spotted Cassiel, who seemed busy giving orders to other sorcerers. She hesitated to interrupt him. "If you walk down to the houses below, you'll find him," Cassiel said, glancing at her. "The kingdom is dangerous right now. We don't know when we might be attacked again.You should send Tarik back to the land of the fairies," Abril advised. "But we aren't under attack at the moment. We need to wait," Cassiel countered. "I left my daughter in the fairy realm to keep her safe. Why have you betrayed us?" she asked, her voice tinged with anger. "When Tarik turns one, he will become one of them. I want him to make his own decisions without being influenced by the kingdom," Cassiel explained. "You've betrayed her and yourself," Abril accused. "Isn't it you who wants to be the sea king?" Cassiel retorted. "Being king in the human world is a burden.Humans may hold power, but in the land of the fairies, it's a heavy weight. Our reign is tied to the heart of the king, which is the heart of the kingdom," she replied, her voice steady. "Don't say that. I want you to make your own decision. I don't want to interfere," Cassiel said, his tone softer. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Abril assured him. Cassiel didn't want to confront Maya, but he felt trapped. He decided that surrendering was the best course of action. "I'll do whatever you want, but don't hold me back," he said.Maya smiled sweetly and continued forward, closing the door behind her with a soft click. "What are you doing?" Cassiel asked, surprised. "I told you, I'll make sure you get what you deserve," she replied. Cassiel began to use his powers to put Abril to sleep. As he placed a hand on her shoulder, she felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. In that moment, Maya spoke up, her voice steady. "Now that I think about it, you approached me for a reason," she said, her eyes narrowing. "That's not why I'm here," Cassiel insisted.noveldrama"Feeling pain has been worse for me, but I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you hear anything about this body," she said, her tone serious.
