Forgotten Wife：Let the Traitors Kneel Down Novel

CHAPTER 163: DON’T PUSH ME AWAY

Every time April saw Duke Vampel, she didn’t know if it was because of the strange way he saw her or if it was because of the great resemblance she had to her daughter and that brought back bad memories. But she felt a chill every time she saw him; as she walked away, April heard her mother’s voice in her head.

April, there is a seed of darkness threatening the palace.

What? Retrace your steps, use your power to find it.

April tried to feel her power, but there was nothing in her, sometimes it was as if her magic was not there and it was very difficult for her to feel it.

But how do I do it?

_Aby until now you have only used your magic unconsciously since you have not yet broken all the seals that are in you, remove your limiters and concentrate, visualize your power flowing through you.

April took off the earrings that served as limiters, closed her eyes and did what her mother told her until she could feel the flow of her magic, it was as if suddenly a lightning bolt hit her and left her full of power, she could feel something evil, it was the same feeling she had felt when those monsters born from darkness had attacked the palace, she ran, she feared that Alessandro’s life was in danger, as she ran through the halls she met Alessandro, he seeing her so agitated asked her.

_What’s wrong Aby? Why are you running like that?

April touched Alessandro’s face, she gave a sigh of relief at not feeling anything dark inside her.

_Thank God you’re okay.

Alessandro took her by the shoulders and asked again.

_What’s wrong Aby?

_It seems there is a seed of darkness in the palace.

April pointed at Alessandro’s office and told him. It seems it comes from there. Just at that moment Alessandro heard a scream coming from his office, it was Gabriel, apparently he was in danger.

The guards who were stationed at the doors unsheathed their swords and rushed in, Alessandro and April did so shortly after. There was a horrible slimy monster that seemed to come out of the worst nightmares in the office, the guards attacked it but it was useless, their weapons could do nothing against that creature. April began to attack that monster using her light magic, that creature retreated very frightened by the power of the light.

_Alessandro tried to use his magic, he wanted to help Abril defeat that creature, but he couldn’t do it, the pressure of Abril’s magic was such that it completely nullified his magic, he hated being so useless, in the end she defeated that Creature without anyone’s help.

That monster was on the ground like a puddle, it had a strong and putrid smell, everyone stared at her, she approached Gabriel, put her hand on his shoulder and used her magic to heal an ugly wound she had on her forehead, the wound closed and scarred instantly, then she went to the two guards and asked them.

_ Are you okay? They both nodded. Alessandro took Abril’s hand and said. Let’s go.

Before leaving the room, Alessandro told Gabriel to change my office to another room and make sure that what happened here no one else knows.

Gabriel was still shocked by the attack of that monster, he answered distractedly.

_I will do so, your majesty.

Alessandro took Abril holding her hand through the halls of the palace, went out to one of the gardens and did not stop until they were far enough away from that place, he surrounded her with his arms and hugged her tightly, he felt completely useless, he was supposed to be the one to protect her, but until that moment it was she who had been protecting him, he had only been a burden.

_ I’m sorry, sorry for not being able to protect you even when I promised I would, right now the palace is not a safe place there are too many dangers lurking around every corner, it would be best for you to go somewhere else.

_ Lessan, I understand that you want to protect me, but understand that I also want to do the same for you, I want to protect you from all danger, that’s why you don’t push me away from your side.

Alessandro took Abril’s face in his hands, looked her directly in the eyes and said.

_I don’t want to be away from you either, for me you will always come first, that’s why I want you to be in a safe place, even if that place is not with me, you will go with Sirius to the wizards’ tower tomorrow morning, you will be safe there.

_ Because he decides everything without taking into account what I want. April began to pat Alessandro on the chest and said.

_ Because you don’t understand that I don’t want to be away from Aby, I understand you perfectly, but also understand that I’m afraid of losing you if you stay in the palace, you still don’t know how to control your magic, you need someone to teach you and that someone is not me.

_ But...

_It will only be for a while, until the palace is a safe place again.

_And if it never is, will you be away from me forever? Will you abandon me again?

_Of course not. I don’t want to go.

It broke Alessandro’s heart to push April away, especially when it was clear that she hated the idea of ​​leaving, he gave her a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_ It will only be a while, until you can control your magic properly, okay?

April knew that her departure was already decided and that she had no choice but to leave, she nodded, walked away from Alessandro and answered him very upset.

_ Okay, I’ll do what you want. Alessandro took her by the hand and said. Aby, I know you’re upset, I don’t want you to leave like this.

_ Then don’t ask me to leave.

Then don’t ask me not to be upset.

_ We’ll be away for a while, do you really want to leave like this?

April was very upset, but she didn’t want to say goodbye like that.

_ No.

Alessandro hugged her again and gave her small kisses on the face, then took her lips, gave short kisses and said.

_ Let’s go back to the room.

April was tired of being locked in that room, she refused to go back.

I don’t want to go back to my room, we can go somewhere else.

_ Where do you want to go? Can I go back to the house I was living in? That was a place the elves Ethan and Dantriel had been staying, but they were with their army in the west part of the palace so they would not be in danger of meeting them if they went in that direction. He caressed April’s cheek gently and replied.

_ Okay, let’s go to that place.
