"Then you will also go," he said, his voice steady despite the weight of his thoughts. "I don't think you should venture to such a dangerous place." Kiara nodded, her expression resolute. "That's why I didn't want to stay here. This is the best time to let them go. We need all the help we can get." "I understand that you're scared after seeing how your kingdom was attacked and destroyed," Alessandro replied, his brow furrowing."But finding out where Hades will strike next would be invaluable." Alessandro couldn't deny the fear gnawing at him-the fear that his kingdom would once again come under attack and be utterly destroyed. He knew that as long as Cira was free, they would always be in danger, a reality they could not control. Abril placed a hand on Alessandro's shoulder, her voice softening. "Let him know I love Cassian. I believe Kiara is right; this is a complete disaster. But we'll be fine. I know I'm with you." Kiara agreed, her eyes shining with determination. "Abril is much more powerful than I am.Her strength surpasses even my son's. You will be fine without us." "Besides, Tarik will stay with you," Alessandro added, glancing at the young prince. Though thin and slender, Tarik's resolve shone through his worried expression. "You are an excellent warrior, and as the prince of the fairies, you must demonstrate your skill. Otherwise, you will be discarded." Tarik smiled, a flicker of confidence igniting in his eyes. "The test may save your life," he said, his voice steady. Alessandro let out a long sigh."Fine, let it go." Turning to Kiara, he continued, "You will be near the kingdom of Xurt. I would appreciate it if you could bless your arsenal. If what you're saying is true, it's best that you are prepared. Our kingdom will soon become a battlefield." "That sounds good to me," Cassian said, his tone serious. "The mounts of Vaizel are near the kingdom of Xurt." "Cassian, have you thought about when you will leave?" Abril asked, concern etched on her face. "Fay needs a few days. We will go when he is ready," Cassian replied. "Let's discuss the details later.noveldramaWe should eat before the food gets cold," Alessandro said, trying to lighten the mood. He watched as Kiara and Tarik finished their meals, then stood up, placing a hand on Abril's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I know you're also thinking about the good of our kingdom." "It's late. I'll see you all tomorrow," Cassian said as he began to withdraw. Then he remembered he had handed the mirror to Abril, so he returned. "Thank you for this." Being far from loved ones was painful and difficult, he thought as he stepped away. Once alone, Alessandro turned to Abril."You are too." "Yes, I miss Lissa," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I wish we could all be together, like a family." Abril looked at Alessandro for a moment before asking, "What do you want? If you've forgotten Lissana, why are you so curious to see what she's like?" Since he had lost Lissana, Alessandro had struggled with his memories. "Yes, but I'm also afraid of your reaction. I don't agree with her." "I understand your fear, but if you don't empathize with her, you will never connect with her. It will be as it was when you were apart," Abril said gently.Alessandro intertwined his fingers with Abril's, his expression earnest. "It's true that I was in denial at first. Everything was so confusing when I lost my memories. But now, I believe your words and trust in you. If that girl is my daughter..." "We couldn't raise her, but that doesn't mean we couldn't love her. We couldn't remember her, but we could still change that," Abril replied, her voice filled with hope. "I want to be a good father to her, even though I don't know how," Alessandro confessed. "You've done well once; I'm sure you will do it again.You will be a good father for our daughter," Abril reassured him. "I hope so," he said, determination flickering in his eyes. After a moment, they both returned to the room. For the first time since he had delved into his memories, Alessandro told Abril that he wanted to see their daughter. When he finally laid eyes on her, he was taken aback. She was as beautiful as Abril, with the same fiery red hair. She should have been only a few years old, yet she seemed to carry the weight of the world on her small shoulders.That night, Alessandro wished he could recover his memories, regretting the loss that felt permanent. The next day, he set out to assess the damage to their kingdom, hoping to find survivors among the ruins left by the attack. The atmosphere in the city was somber; many had lost family members, and the sadness was palpable. At the end of his tour, Alessandro asked Gabriel to compile a list of everyone who had lost someone. He wanted to offer comfort to those grieving. Cassiel had mentioned he would return after two days to see if they needed help.Cassian and Alessandro had planned to stay at the guardians' dwelling for that time, just as Cassiel had requested. As they stepped into the light, they were shocked to find Cassiel's body lying in the dirt. They rushed to lift him, calling out his name. What they didn't expect was for Cassiel to respond. "Stop shouting, I'm here," he said weakly. "You managed to return to your body!" Cassian exclaimed. "But why are you covered in sweat?" "I could return to the world, but I couldn't move much," Cassiel replied, his voice strained. "I was weak.When I tried to stand, my body couldn't support me, and I fell." Alessandro and Cassian helped Cassiel back onto the table. "Thank you for seeing me. I thought I would be trapped in that state forever," Cassiel said, relief washing over him. "This means you're going back to your body, but you're still useless," Alessandro remarked, a hint of frustration in his voice. "I just need time to recover. I will regain my mobility," Cassiel responded, annoyance creeping into his tone. "Should we leave you here?" Cassian asked, concern etched on his face. "No, don't leave me.I can't be left alone in the sun again. Would you like a healing magician to assist me?" Cassiel replied. "Let's go then," Alessandro said, lifting him carefully. As they exited the guardians' dwelling, they made their way to one of the rooms on the second floor, settling Cassiel in one of the available spaces. "I'm looking for my wife now that I'm back," Alessandro said, glancing back at Cassian. Once Alessandro was gone, Cassian turned to Cassiel. "Are you really going to regain your power?" "Yes, I will. It's taking longer than I imagined," Cassiel replied, determination in his eyes."How do you plan to recover your mobility?" Cassian pressed, eager for answers.
