Chapter 20
20 The duties of a wife After Sirius finished reading the book he looked at Alessandro and said.
_ Does your wife really possess this magic? _Yes, I have verified it myself.
_ How could King Venobich let someone so valuable go? _I’ve told you before, the king thought she didn’t have magic.
_I guess that was lucky for us, with it we could win the war.
_Don’t get too excited, his magic hasn’t awakened yet.
_I know, but…
Sirius thought about something, then said.
_But when her power awakens she will become a double-edged sword, she can help us win the war or be our downfall.
_I am aware of that, until now she has remained calm since she has not had any power, but we do not know if she will continue to be the same once her power awakens, _I think it would be best to leave things as they are.
Alessandro shook his head.
_She can heal Cassian’s injury, I want my brother to be the same as before.
_But that’s too dangerous, she’s the daughter of our enemy.
_I already know that, but I’m still willing to take that risk.
Sirius knew that Alessandro always felt guilty about Cassian’s injury, he had searched for countless ways to heal Cassian’s injury, however, none had worked, Sirius got up from the couch and returned the book to him.
_I will go meet your wife, I will begin teaching her as soon as possible.
_Thank you.
Sirius went to look for the princess, he asked several of the maids where she was, but none of them could give him a clue.
Sirius met Cassian in the hallway, he greeted him.
_Hello Sirius, what are you doing at the palace? _I have come to your brother, he asked me to take charge of teaching the principles of magic to the princess, but no matter how much I ask, no one gives me any information about where she might be.
_ She does not live in the palace, very few people know where to find the princess.
_ Don’t you live in the palace? _That’s right, she lives in a small house in the farthest part of the palace, if you want I can guide you? _I would really appreciate it if you would do that.
_Then follow me.
Cassian guided Sirius to April, that day she was working in her garden, Sirius stared at the beautiful redhead in front of him and asked Cassian.
_ Is she the princess? _Yeah.
_ And this is where you live? _Yeah.
_ Why is the princess living this way? _ Apparently she likes living here.
Cassian approached the princess.
_Hi April, this is Sirius.
_Hello princess.
April felt uncomfortable in front of Sirius, he looked her up and down like everyone else usually did, she hid her muddy hands behind her back and answered.
_It’s a pleasure to meet you.
_I’ve been looking for the princess for a while now, I’ll be her magic teacher.
April remembered that the king had told her that she should learn the principles of magic, but she considered it useless since she did not possess magic and told him.
_I don’t have magic, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to learn such a thing.
_It’s an order from the king, it doesn’t matter if he considers it necessary or not.
_But.
_Today I just wanted to introduce myself, tomorrow we will begin with your teaching, make sure you are at the palace, I will come mid-morning.
April nodded.
Sirius said goodbye and then left, Cassian told her.
_Although Sirius is a serious guy, he is a good person, he is also a good teacher, you will surely learn a lot from him.
_I don’t know why your majesty wants me to learn the principles of magic, what’s the point of learning that when you don’t have magic.
_You never know, maybe you do have magic, but it hasn’t awakened yet.
_I’ve never heard of anything like that, everyone who has magic awakens before they’re 6, it’s not that my magic hasn’t awakened, it’s simply that I don’t have such a thing.
Cassian wanted to tell April that she was wrong, that she did have magic, but if his brother hadn’t told him, he wasn’t going to do it, so he stayed silent.
That day he watched as April took care of her plants, then they both shared some snacks.
The butler went to look for April during the afternoon and took her to the palace.
Cassian wondered why they had gone to look for her so early, normally they always went to look for her at dusk to prepare her and take her to the king’s chambers.
The butler, seeing the princess’s clothes stained with mud, asked the maids to give her a bath and change her clothes.
Then they took her to a room where there was a middle-aged lady.
She presented herself to April, bowing.
_It is a pleasure to meet you, your majesty, I am Lady Elizabeth Cromer, I will be teaching your majesty.
_Thank you so much.
_We are going to start the class, please take a seat your majesty.
The maids served tea and cakes, then Lady Elizabeth ordered the maids to leave, once alone Elizabeth gave her a soft smile, that was the first time April felt that someone did not see her with hatred or contempt, but at On the contrary, they treated her like a queen, since Lady Elizabeth had never called her princess as the others did, reminding her that although she had married the king, she was not considered a queen.
_I hope your majesty feels comfortable with me, if you have any doubts or questions about what I will teach you, I hope your majesty will ask freely.
_Thank you.
The butler told me that I should give her a wife’s education.
Lady Elisabeth took out a book and said to him.
_I will teach you everything you need to know about the duties and obligations of a wife in the bedroom.
Have you ever been taught anything about this subject? _No, but I have read some books.
_Your majesty could tell me what you have learned.
_Of course, in the books they said that if a couple kisses and sleeps hugging each other they will have a baby.
Elizabeth felt a certain tenderness when listening to the princess, she smiled softly at her and said.
For a couple to have a baby, something else needs to be done, Your Majesty.
Kisses and hugs are essential for a couple’s intimacy, but they are not enough to create a baby.
_ Really? _That’s right, your majesty, kisses are just the beginning, today I will explain to you in as much detail as possible how babies are created, so pay close attention and as I mentioned before, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
_OK.
