Chapter 103
105 Racing heart Cassian stared at Maya, she was sleeping peacefully beside him, however, he couldn’t fall asleep.
He was nervous, Maya turned over she put her arm around his abdomen, Cassian felt his heart racing from having her so close, in the end he couldn’t take it anymore, he got out of bed, put a pillow on the floor and settled down to sleep.
The next day when Maya woke up and saw him sleeping on the floor, she lightly moved his shoulder to wake him up and asked him.
_ What are you doing sleeping on the floor? Don’t tell me you fell out of bed.
_Of course not, the bed wasn’t comfortable.
_ And the floor was more comfortable? Cassian stood up and answered.
_Yes, it is better for the back.
_If you say so.
Cassian shook his clothes and said.
_I’ll go ask for breakfast to be brought to us.
As he left the room Cassian covered his face with his hand.
He was embarrassed that Maya had seen him sleeping on the floor.
One of the guards who was standing guard in the hallway approached him and asked.
_Prince Cassian, are you okay? _Yes I’m fine.
Cassian pulled himself together and asked.
_ Do you know if my brother has woken up yet? _Yes, just now he ordered us to prepare the carriage and horses, we will leave after breakfast.
_Then I’ll go order my breakfast, I’m sure we’ll be leaving soon.
_ If you want, I can go ask you for your breakfast? _Thanks, but I’d rather go myself, it would help me clear my head.
Cassian headed to the inn’s tavern, he approached the bar and asked the innkeeper to send breakfast to the room, when he was going back he was very surprised to see Ethan, the elf they had met at the information guild.
Instinctively he hid and wondered what that man was doing there.
He kept watch for a moment, until a guard approached him, it was Rafael, and he said to him.
_Prince Cassian, His Majesty has summoned you.
Cassian did not respond, he still did not take his eyes off Ethan, Rafael turned his gaze where he was staring at the prince and seeing a blond man with golden eyes in the tavern he said.
_ What is that man doing here? _ Do you know him? _ To the blond man with golden eyes? _Yes, do you know him? _It’s not that I know him, he approached her majesty Abril when we escorted her in the town.
_ What did he say? _He called her majesty Sophia, I think he confused her with someone else.
_Let’s go back and don’t go near that man.
_As Prince Cassian commands…
Cassian went to look for his brother, he knocked on the door of the room with great insistence, when he opened the door Alessandro asked.
_ What’s wrong Cas? _I need to talk to you.
Alessandro, seeing him so anxious, became worried.
_ Did something happen? _Maya could you leave us alone? _Of course.
When Maya left Cassian said.
_ The elf I met at the information guild is here.
_ What? _I think you’re looking for April.
_ Because you said so? _Apparently he has already seen her.
_We’d better talk alone.
_April, I’ll be back now.
Leaving the room Alessandro and Cassian went to Cassian’s room, Maya seeing the king asked.
_ What’s happening? _Could you leave us alone, I need to talk to my brother.
_Of course.
When Maya left the room Cassian said.
_The elf I met at the information guild is here.
_ You’re sure? _Yes, apparently elves have a unique characteristic, their golden eyes, they can’t hide them even with magic, I’m sure it was him and I think he’s looking for April.
_ Why would he be looking for her? He doesn’t know her.
_You’re wrong about that, apparently when April went for a walk around the town where she picked up Otis and Joe, he saw her, she used magic to change the color of her hair, do you remember? _And.
_That day April said that she looked a lot like her mother with her blonde hair, that it was as if she saw her reflection in the mirror when she looked at herself.
_ What do you mean by that? _One of the guards who accompanied her that day told me that the man called Abril, Sophia, that is the name of Abril’s mother, I think he confused her and is now looking for her thinking that Abril is his mother.
Alessandro was silent for a moment, Cassian broke the silence by saying.
_I think it would be best for us to leave immediately, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but Maya told me that the elves didn’t let their descendants wander around because they considered themselves to be of noble blood, if they discovered April’s identity they could try to take her away.
_I won’t let them take her away, I will kill anyone who tries to take my wife away from me.
_I wouldn’t let them take her either, but we must be cautious, it would be best to leave quietly, we don’t know how much Whatever strength or power the elves possess, we don’t even really know anything about them, we can’t start a war with them, remember that right now we have a very powerful enemy to defeat, King Venobich.
Alessandro knew that his brother was right, that the best thing to do was to flee at that moment.
He didn’t want to risk that man seeing Abril and trying to take her away from him.
_You are absolutely right, I had already asked for the carriage and horses to be prepared, we will leave immediately.
