Abril asked, drawing a long sigh as she took a seat on the bed, patting the space beside her, inviting him to join her. "Come here." "What's going on?" he replied, concern etched on his face. "Hmm... It's nothing serious, so change that worried expression," she reassured him, taking his hand in hers. "It's just that our little one wants to fly." "You know how to do it; I taught her. Have you forgotten?" he said, a hint of pride in his voice."I'll teach her again if necessary." "I'm not referring to that, Alessandro." Alessandro felt a pang of fear at her words, choosing to remain silent as she continued. "Lissana wants to leave the palace. She wants to take a trip to discover herself," Abril explained, her voice heavy with concern. "I doubt she thinks it means she doesn't want to be with you." "I just got back, but I couldn't be with my little one," he murmured. "I know, but she's not so little anymore, Alessandro.If we don't let her go now, she may never ask us again, and we'll be tying her to this kingdom." Abril looked at him, sadness in her eyes. "To Lissana, this palace is a prison, not a home. It's not her obligation to stay here." Alessandro recalled that the palace had also felt like a prison for her at times. "Is it also a prison for you?" he asked softly. "No, this is not my prison. This is my home, where I can always return.I want Lissana to talk to me about this because I believe it would be better for her if we let her go." "But I think it would be dangerous to let her travel alone." "For her or for others?" Abril countered, recalling how Lissana had once defeated the dark king on her own. "I know, but where will she go?" "Wherever she wishes. Just let her be free. I'm sure she'll communicate with us while she travels, as long as she's free to fly without restraints." "If you say it that way, it's impossible for me to deny her," Alessandro conceded, leaning forward to kiss her gently."I'm glad to see that you understand," Abril replied, though her heart ached at the thought of their daughter venturing out into the world. That night, Alessandro couldn't sleep. Worry for Lissana gnawed at him, so he rose early and stepped out onto the balcony. As he watched the first rays of sunlight paint the sky in beautiful colors, he felt a longing to fly once more with his daughter, just as they had when she was a little girl. "She's grown up too fast," he murmured to himself.With a sigh, Alessandro summoned his magic of wind and soared into the sky, trying to shake off the sadness that clung to him. Each time he flew, the feeling of liberation intoxicated him, allowing him to forget his worries, if only for a moment. When he returned to the palace, he spotted Lissana sitting atop one of the tallest towers. He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to approach her, but ultimately decided to sit beside her. "Am I interrupting?" he asked gently. "Not at all," she replied, her gaze fixed on the clearing sky.They sat in silence for a while, watching the clouds drift by, until Lissana finally broke the quiet. "Is Mama talking to you?" "Yes," he answered. "Is that what you think?" she pressed. "It doesn't bother me that you're leaving if that's what you're asking. I just feel a little sad because I haven't seen you for a while." "You probably shouldn't feel that way." "I don't want you to stay behind for my sake. I want you to leave for yourself. Just remember that I will always be here for you, so when you've traveled your own path, come home." Lissana hugged him tightly."I will, I promise." "I'll be waiting for you with open arms, my little one." "I'm not so little anymore, Papa." "I know, but to me, you will always be my precious little girl, no matter how many sharp edges you acquire along the way." "You know I love you, right?" "Of course I know, and before you leave, I'd love for us to go for a ride, just like when you were a girl." "I would love that." Lissana jumped from the edge of the tower, calling out as she soared into the sky."Catch me!" Alessandro leaped after her, flying alongside her and reveling in the breathtaking views of the royal capital, bathed in the warm rays of a new dawn. That same afternoon, Uzziel came to see Lissana. She looked content and calm, as if she had finally shed her invisible restraints. "Have you talked to them?" he asked. "Yes," she replied, a smile lighting up her face."You look radiant, so I assume you received a positive answer." "Thanks for encouraging me to make the decision." "Family is important, and my offer to support you still stands." "Why do you want to accompany me?" "I told you yesterday; I don't want to spend my time with my priests on a honeymoon." "Are your uncles really leaving?" "Yes, if you tell your uncles tonight, that's a decision made." "Do you know when they're leaving?" "I believe it will be after your uncles renounce their marital vows. That's what they said when they decided.When will you go?" "I'll leave too, after I renounce my vows." A shadow of sadness crossed Lissana's face, and Uzziel reassured her. "After renewing your vows, your uncles will be on their honeymoon. They'll be happy to have the palace to themselves." "Do you really believe that?" "Of course. Don't feel sad that we're all leaving the palace at the same time. They've been apart for so long. Now that your uncle has recovered, I'm sure they'd prefer to be alone together." "They're my parents! Don't say those things." "I'm just telling you the truth.If I were in your place, I would want the same-to be alone with the woman I love without interruptions."noveldrama
