Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 169: LETTER TO MY BELOVED

Sirius opened the letter after entering his office, the letter was short and precise. Take care of my wife, don’t let her return to the palace, it is not a safe place.

P.S. Come to the palace when you can.

After reading the letter Sirius wondered what exactly was going on in the royal palace, since April had left the palace they had managed to hear several rumors about the royal marriage, many claimed that the marriage between them had ended due to threats of war from the kingdom of Laios and that was why the king had returned his wife.

Sirius did not understand what Alessandro was thinking about, he had told him that she would return when she mastered her magic, she had already done so but he was still looking for him to keep her in the tower, but Sirius knew he could not do that forever, April was starting to get impatient, he no longer knew what to do to keep her, in the end he had said the first thing that had come to mind.

And now what will I do with her? Stupid king, when do you think you’ll take your wife back?

Sirius felt his head heavy, he was full of work due to the persistent attacks on the magical barriers that protected the kingdom, he had so much work that the shadows under his eyes had become even more marked. He wondered until when the king would stop exploiting him, since if that continued he doubted he would have a long life. He sighed heavily and wondered.

When will all this madness end, when the day comes when I can rest.

The next day Sirius left very early in the morning to the royal palace, when he arrived he went directly to Alessandro’s office, Gabriel saw him and immediately let him in.

Alessandro was sitting behind his desk with a tired look and dark shadows under his eyes, he looked extremely haggard.

_ Greetings to his majesty the king.

_ I’m glad you could come so soon, have a seat. Sirius did as he was asked and asked. - How is everything?

_Not very well, my work only increases with each passing day, but that is not why I sent for you.

_Is it about your wife?

_How is she?

_Fine, but very upset since you did not receive a response to the letter you wrote to her.

_How upset was she?

_Enough to say that his majesty had forgotten about her.

Alessandro sighed heavily, brushed his hair back with his hand and said.

I hate not being able to be with her, but I do not want to put her life in danger.

_She has tried very hard during these two months, I can attest that her handling of magic is excellent, do not you think you should let her come back?

_Not yet.

You know that if you don’t explain this situation properly, it could create a misunderstanding, right?

- I know, but I don’t know what to answer because no matter how sweet the words you write to tell her that you can’t come back yet are, I know that they will all break her heart.

- You’re right, but I don’t think ignoring the letter is a good idea, as I said before, your wife may interpret your silence in the wrong way, as for example that you have found another woman and have forgotten about her.

Alessandro sat up in his chair and answered upset.

_ I would never cheat on my wife with another woman and she is the only one for me and I could never forget her, I think about her every minute of the day.noveldrama

_ But your wife doesn’t know that, so I think it will be better if you answer the letter.

Otherwise I will be the one who found myself in trouble, Sirius thought.

- I guess you’re right.

_ If that was all your majesty wanted to tell me, I will leave, in the tower we are having some problems, I cannot afford to be away for so long.

_ Actually, it wasn’t to ask about April the reason why I sent for you, it’s for another matter, because of the serious expression on Alessandro’s face Sirius worried.

– Tell me, what happened?

Alessandro sighed heavily and answered.

The sighting of monsters at the border has been reported.

_The magicians have been reinforcing the barriers.

_I know, that’s why I sent Cassian to Letter to my beloved

5/9 find out what’s going on, but I think everything

points to the fact that the monsters were already in the kingdom before raising the barriers, that’s why I want you to reinforce the barriers of the royal capital and the palace.

Okay, I’ll take care of that personally.

_I also want you to take care of another matter.

_Which one?

_We have discovered that Duke Vampel is gathering an army, he could not confirm it but it is almost certain that the duke is in cahoots with the kingdom of Laios.

_And why haven’t they arrested him yet?

The duke has great social power, if I were to arrest him without evidence a war between nobility and royalty would start, I can’t afford to start something like that.

-So what do you think I should do?

-At the moment I have him under surveillance, but I want you to create a barrier in Duke Vampel’s territory, which will be inactive and can be used when the time comes.

-What kind of barrier?

One that can trap him in his territory, the war will soon begin and I think that will be the moment when the duke will act.

_I see, if you do that you won’t have to worry about the duke while you’re on the battlefield.

_That’s right.

_ What you are asking me will be a little difficult to do, but not impossible, I will do it as soon as possible.

_ Thank you. - Do you need anything else?

- No.

Sirius stood up and said. Then I will leave. Wait. Yes, your majesty.

- I will write a letter to April, wait outside while she writes it. Okay.

Sirius left the room, stood by the door for a while while Alessandro wrote the letter, when he finished writing it he handed it to him and said.

- Deliver it to her personally. I will do so. And take good care of my wife. Yes, your majesty.

Sirius said goodbye to the king again and then left. When Sirius returned to the wizards’ tower he was very surprised when April suddenly appeared behind him.

What a scare you gave me. - Are you coming from the palace?

- What?

_ I suppose so.

Sirius wondered how April had found out that he was coming from the palace since he hadn’t told anyone where he was going.

- How did she know?

_ It’s because of your clothes, you always go disheveled when you’re in the tower, but you usually dress better when you go to the palace.

_ He’s right, I come from the palace. With a sad face April asked.

How is Lessan?

Sirius didn’t know whether to tell the truth or lie, he remained hesitating for a few minutes until April said.

– I suppose he’s fine, I’m the only one who feels like she’s dying when she’s away from him.

That’s not true, he didn’t really feel well at all, he was pale, dark-circled and looked very tired.

- Is he sick?

_ No, I think what he has is called sadness, he misses her.

Sirius took out the letter that Alessandro had given him and handed it to April.

_ This is the letter he was waiting for, he asked me to deliver it personally.

Thank you.

April stared at the letter for a few minutes, asked Sirius.

– Are you not going to read it? Yes, I’ll go to my room to read it.

April left without saying goodbye, when she got to her room she stared at the letter for a long time, that was the letter she had been waiting for, but at that moment she was afraid of what that letter would say, afraid that the words written in that letter were not what she wanted to hear, she took a deep breath and gathered her courage to read the letter: Hello my beloved wife.

Today has been another day without having you by my side, writing these words to you is the only thing that comforts me. It’s been two months since you had to go away from me and I confess that it has not been easy at all, the days, the nights, every minute and every second that I can’t see you, or have you in my arms have become eternal and painful, I look forward to the day that we can be together again.

You asked me to come back, but it’s not time yet, please be patient and wait for me. Don’t forget that I love you, you’re the love of my life.

April hugged the letter and began to cry, she felt like a fool for having doubted Alessandro’s love, that day she cried again for a long time wishing that the day would come soon when she could be with her beloved.
