Chapter 25

25 Wonderful magic.
April was very happy to be able to sleep in her little house again, when her magic class ended she went to look for Cassian, she wanted to be with the little fox since she would have time to take care of him.
Cassian was in the garden, she approached him and the little fox ran towards her, April took him in her arms, petted him and said to him.
_I’ve missed you too little one, hello Cassian.
_I’m glad we ran into each other, I was just going to pick you up.
_ Me? _Yes, I wanted to take your pet to see you, I think he misses you.
_Thank you very much for taking care of him.
_Don’t worry about that.
_His majesty will be away for a few days as he must go inspect the kingdom, during those days I will be able to return home so I will have him with me for a few days, I hope to count on you afterwards to take care of him.
_Of course.
_Thank you so much.
The days that Alessandro was away Abril felt that she had freedom again, she went to her magic classes during the day and in the afternoons she worked in her garden, although doing that was tiring, for Abril that was better than living in the palace, there she could see the blue sky, feel the warm rays of the sun touching her skin, she could feel free, she had lived her whole life locked up and although He knew that it was only temporary, he was glad he had it.
April was in her magic class, Sirius had told her to try to feel her magic, when he told her that she couldn’t help but laugh and said to him.
_ How do you expect me to feel something I don’t have? _Try it and stop talking back princess.
_Okay, what do I have to do? _You must close your eyes, search deep within and try to feel its magic.
April did as Sirius told her, even though she knew it was useless she tried hard since she had promised.
She searched deep inside herself trying to find her magic, she dived deep inside herself, she saw a small light and wondered if that was her magic, she tried to touch it but it disappeared and with it her consciousness.
The princess began to glow, it was a warm light that made him feel calm and filled him with peace, but he could also feel how it nullified his magic, that only lasted a few seconds, she fainted and fell to the ground, that day April was unconscious for the whole afternoon, when she opened her eyes she was in an unknown room, next to her was Cassian, he asked her.
_ Are you OK? _ What happened to me? What am I doing here? Sirius walked up to her and said.
_You fainted in the middle of class, what’s the last thing you remember? April tried to remember, but she couldn’t remember, she said.
_I think it was when he told me to close my eyes and try to feel my magic, after that, I don’t know what happened.
_I see.
_ Did I do something strange? _No, you just fainted, you haven’t eaten, I’ll ask them to bring you something light to eat.
_Thank you.
When Sirius left Cassian handed the little fox to April and said.
_Since I didn’t know if you would wake up today, I went to get your pet.
April stroked the fox’s head and said.
_Thank you so much.
_You must be tired, I’ll leave you to rest.
_See you tomorrow.
Cassian found Sirius in the hallway and asked him.
_ What happened to the princess? _He just passed out.
_I don’t think it was just that after hearing what you asked the princess.
_I have to go check on the princess, see you later prince.
Cassian knew that Sirius was Alessandro’s faithful dog, no matter how much he insisted Sirius wouldn’t tell him anything, if he wanted to know what had happened he had to wait for Alessandro to return, because he would be the only one Sirius would tell what exactly had happened to.
After that day Sirius stopped his classes until the king was back, April was feeling perfectly fine and was happy to have time for herself and not have to go to the palace.
But since she had returned home she felt as if someone was watching her, she thought it was her imagination and stopped thinking about it.
Alessandro’s inspection had taken longer than he had thought, after eight days he returned to the palace, when he arrived the first thing he did was call Sirius since he had sent him a message that he needed to speak to him, Alessandro was somewhat worried, he wondered if it was about the princess.
When Sirius entered Alessandro’s office the first thing he did was ask.
_ Has something happened with the princess? Sirius nodded.
_That’s right, that’s why I wanted to talk to you.
_What happened? _A few days ago the princess’s magic awakened.
_That’s good news.
_I’m not so sure about it, their magic awakened only for an instant, their magic is truly fascinating, now I understand why some consider them saints, their magic reached me, their magic is very different from any I have ever known, it instilled peace, tranquility and blocked my magic for a whole day.
_So it was true, his magic nullifies other magic.
_Rather than canceling them, I think it blocks them, making it impossible for you to access your magic.
_She can heal Cassian, we must ask her to do it.
_Wait, I told you that her magic only awakened for a moment, then she fainted, when she woke up she didn’t remember anything, it’s as if her magic also blocked her memories, I think that’s why she’s not aware that she has magic.
_That’s strange.
_Yes, that’s why I cancelled our classes, I need you to lend me that book again and all the books you have about it.
Alessandro took out the book he had lent him earlier from one of the drawers of his desk and said to him.
_Here you go.
_ Can I take it this time? _No, stay in my office until you’re done.
Alessandro walked towards the door, Sirius asked him.
_ Where are you going? _I’ll go see my wife.
