novelxo Chapter 65
65 You are no longer alone Cassian had gone out to the balcony to cool off a bit, just as he had left he saw a man in black armor leave the mansion, he recognized him immediately, it was Taren Lacross, the captain of the shadows in the service of the king, he wondered what he was doing there, normally Taren never left the palace unless it was strictly necessary, since he was in charge of ensuring that everything was in order in the absence of the king, the few times he left the palace was to ful
fill high-level missions, which were of utmost importance and confidentiality.
Cassian could not be left without knowing what Taren had gone for, so he went to find Lessan to tell him what Taren had gone to do.
Alessandro was walking up the stairs, Cassian waited for him at first and asked him very worried.
_ Did something happen? What was Taren doing here? _I don't think this is the best place to start talking about that.
Alessandro continued walking and said to him.
_Let's talk in your room.
April heard footsteps in the hallway and Alessandro's voice, she looked out the door, just at that moment she saw Alessandro enter Cassian's room, she left her room and stood in front of Cassian's room, she hesitated for a moment whether to knock on the door or not, she wanted to ask Cassian who the knight in black armor was.
She accidentally overheard the conversation between Alessandro and Cassian.
_ What was Taren Lessan doing here? King Venobich has begun to gather his army, the war will begin soon.
_ And what do you plan to do? _I'll continue as planned, I'll inspect the kingdom before returning to the palace.
_ Wouldn't it be better to go back to the palace and start preparing? _I have asked Sirius to reinforce the barriers of the kingdom, the rest will be prepared upon my return.
_I don't think this is the best time to do it, we should attack first.
_You are wrong, I must do it now, there are several spies in the kingdom who are working for King Venobich, I must clean my kingdom before attacking him, otherwise this time we will lose, a divided kingdom is a lost kingdom.
_This inspection is just an excuse to clean up the kingdom, TRUE? _Yeah.
_ Why did you bring April with you if you knew this trip was going to be dangerous? _I didn't imagine that she could be in any danger, but what happened here won't happen again, I will take good care of my wife.
_Actually, it was my fault what happened here.
If she had stayed in the mansion as you ordered, none of this would have happened.
_You didn't know anything about what was happening, so don't blame yourself.
After what she had heard, April felt guilty about what her father was doing.
She went back to the room, Alessandro came in shortly after, she was sitting on the bed hugging her knees, Alessandro approached her and asked her.
_ What's happening? _There will be a war.
_ Why do you ask that? _I overheard what you were talking about with Cassian.
_ How much did you hear? _Enough to know that my father is behind everything.
Alessandro hugged her and said.
_Don't worry about that.
_But...
_I'll take care of everything April, don't worry about anything.
_Alright.
We should take a bath and wash the sand off our bodies.
_You can go first.
Alessandro smiled and said.
_I'd rather do it with you.
April remembered that the last time they had taken a bath together they had ended up doing something more than just taking a bath, _You don't want to take a bath, do you? _Of course, although I won't deny that I would love to do something else.
Alessandro stroked Abril's hair and said to her.
_Although I think it's best to leave it for later, you don't seem to be well.
_I'm fine.
_Do you want to do it so much? _It's not that.
Alessandro kissed her and said.
_Some other day, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow, I actually think it's best if we take a bath separately, I'll call a maid to prepare the bath for you.
April clung to Alessandro's clothes and said to him.
_Don't go.
_Don't tempt me or I might end up making you mine.
April wanted to be with Alessandro, to be in his arms and feel loved, she got on her knees on the bed, kissed him and responded.
_I'm already yours, I'm your wife, why do you have to hold back? I don't understand? _Are you sure you want to do it? _Yes, today I want to be with you.
Alessandro kissed her passionately, inserting his tongue, exploring every corner of her mouth.
Abril felt a shocking pleasure at being kissed in such a passionate way, she clung to his neck with her arms pulling him towards her.
Alessandro undid the bow of Abril's dress and began to take it off little by little, admiring her naked skin with a look full of lust and passion.
Before his gaze she felt defenseless like a little lamb before the claws of a hungry wolf.
He took off her dress completely and examined her body thoroughly and said to her.
_You are so beautiful that sometimes I find it hard to believe that you are real.
April caressed Alessandro's face and said to him.
_You are beautiful too.
She ran her fingers over every feature of his face as if she wanted her hands to memorize every part of his face and she said to him.
_Thank you.
_ What exactly are you thanking me for? _For everything, for taking care of me and for making me not feel alone.
Alessandro gave her a passionate kiss.
_You are no longer alone, I am with you.
