Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 170: MY OTHER HALF

After crying for a while April wiped her tears and ran to Sirius’s office, she slammed the door open scaring Sirius, he threw the papers he had in his hand into the air and said.

- But what are you doing? You almost scared me to death. I want to learn to fight.

- What?

_You said that I must learn to defend myself in order to come back, so I want to learn to fight.

- What exactly do you want to learn?

_Something I can learn in a short time. Why did she go to the wizard training room and decide what she wants to learn?

I guess that’s a good idea. Yes it is, so I should go immediately yes, that’s what I will.

Sirius didn’t really care about what April wanted to learn, he just wanted her to keep busy for a while and leave him alone, he picked up all the papers he had dropped because of April and focused on his work forgetting about her.

After two months with the arrival of winter the war began, Alessandro marched to the border with his army and the elf army. When April found out that the war had started, she ran to Sirius’s office, she entered without knocking.

-Is it true that the war has already started? You know, there is a door in this room for a reason.

_Answer my question.

Sirius was organizing the wizards to go to the border and join the battle, the last thing he wanted at that moment was to deal with April, he sighed heavily and answered.

_ That’s right and that’s why I’m very busy, I would appreciate it if your majesty did not continue to steal my time, I must prepare to march immediately to the battlefield.

Sirius headed for the door, April stood in the middle blocking his way and said.

_I’ll go too.

_Your majesty has not given her permission...

_ I don’t care, I want to go, I have learned to defend myself, I will not be defenseless on the battlefield,

besides my magic is more effective against those monsters.

_I know, but your magic can also nullify our magic, if that were to happen we would be defenseless.

That will not happen, you learned to control my power.

_But...

If you don’t let me go with you I will go on my own, would that be even worse?

Sirius did not have time to continue that dispute with April, he scratched his head and said to her.

Okay, do what you want since you do it anyway.

– Then I’ll go get ready. Before Sirius left he said. Wait.

– If you’re going to try to convince me not to go...

It’s not that, I just wanted to remind you that you must make sure you continue being Amara.

I already know that.

April went to her room and put on a brown robe like the one the other wizards would be wearing.

She met with the other wizards in the courtyard, Sirius said a few words.

We are heading to the battlefield, everyone must be prepared and attentive.

They all shouted in one voice. Yes, sir.

Sirius activated a magic circle and everyone was transported to the battlefield.

When they arrived, April was horrified to see a pile of corpses behind them, the strong smell of blood and death hit her nose making her nauseous, she covered her mouth with her hand, Sirius approached her and said.

We were so many years in peace, that for a moment I forgot what war was.

Sirius seeing that April covered her mouth to escape the strong smell of blood that was in the air and that her whole body was shaking said to her.

You shouldn’t be in this place.

April tore her hand from her mouth and nose, forced herself to come back to her senses and answered.

No, now more than ever I know that this is the place where I should be. In the distance screams and sword clashes could be heard, crimson flames and monsters flying through the air could also be seen, at that moment April recognized Alessandro’s wind magic and knew where he was at that moment, he was at the front fighting with that horde of monsters and enemy soldiers.

Sirius began to give orders to the wizards to reinforce the barriers, and others ruled out going to the front and supporting the soldiers so they could retreat and reorganize, April stood not knowing what to do, Sirius told her.

There are many wounded, she could help with that. Of course.

April approached the wounded who looked worse and began to heal their wounds; That lasted all day. When the sun began to set, April saw the soldiers return and among them, she saw Alessandro. When she saw him, she stood still watching him. She had always thought about what he would do when she saw him again, but at that moment she didn’t know what to do or what to say. She just stood still, looking at him from afar.

One of the magicians approached her and shook her shoulder to get her attention.

"Amara, more wounded have arrived, some really serious. I need your help."

April wanted to refuse and go with Alessandro, but she knew that this was not the time, that having that power she was obliged to share it with the others. She turned around and said in just a murmur.

– Just a little longer, I’ll be with you soon my love.

Sirius followed Alessandro to his tent, while he washed the blood from his face, hands and arms he asked.

- Is your majesty hurt? No, the blood is not mine.noveldrama

Alessandro stared at his reflection in the water, his face covered in the blood of his enemies and said.

This war is even worse than I imagined.

It’s true, it seems even more brutal than the last one. Alessandro splashed water on his face and said.

- Am I glad that April is not here to see any of this?

Sirius felt a shiver run down his spine when Alessandro asked.

- How is she? It’s only been four months since I saw her but it has felt like an eternity.

JI?

– Well about the queen, there is something I have to say.

- What about April? Well the queen is... here.

The last thing Sirius had said so quietly that Alessandro had not been able to hear it.

_Speak clearly, what happened to my wife? Alessandro asked again with a face that said, I’ll kill you if something happened to my wife. Sirio gulped, he was going to speak when a commotion was heard outside the tent; Alessandro came out and asked the soldiers who were nearby.

-What’s going on?

_It seems that a monster has managed to cross the barrier, it’s attacking the camp.

Alessandro took his sword back to the tent and ran in the direction of the screams, that monster was attacking the tents where the wounded were, he cursed.

_Damn it, why did he have to attack that very place.

In those tents were all the seriously wounded, they could not defend themselves from that attack or so he thought, but when he arrived he found that one of the magicians was fighting with that monster.

Silver flames surrounded that monster making it scream, that strange fire killed the monster. He approached the magician, he was strong and his power was very effective against monsters, Alessandro thought about going to the front the next day, but when

he saw his face his blood ran cold, the color of his hair was different, but without a doubt that one! Magician, it was his wife Abril. He stood, looking at her, he wondered if it was really her or if he had begun to delirious from missing her so much. Abril met his gaze, while the soldiers ran from one side to the other attending to the wounded, they remained motionless looking at each other. Abril was the first to approach, when there was almost no distance between them Alessandro remained motionless, looking at her as if he could not believe that she was in that place.

After so much time apart, you will not tell me anything, will you not be happy to see me?

You are not real, you cannot be here.

That wasn’t the answer April was expecting, her reaction bothered her a little.

_I guess that’s a no?_ Sirius came closer and said.

_That’s what I wanted to tell you before, I couldn’t convince her to stay.

Alessandro gave Sirius a murderous look and said.

_I’ll talk to you later.

Alessandro took April’s hand and led her to his tent, when they were alone, he caressed her face and hair.

_Are you really you Aby?

April changed the color of her hair again, the vibrant red returned to her curls.

She put her hand on Alessandro’s cheek and answered.

_Of course it’s me, it offends me that you can’t recognize your wife.

Alessandro took April’s face in his hands, looked at it closely and said.

I’ve been waiting so long to see you, it seems so unreal that you’re here with me.

April stood on her tiptoes, kissed Alessandro and said. This moment is real, I’m real.

April kissed him again and said, You can feel it.

Alessandro kissed her back, his kiss was deep, wild, full of desire and restrained passion, as their lips met he said,

Aby, my Aby.

He repeated her name over and over again, as his lips pressed against hers, thirsty and hungry. While they had been apart he had felt like something was missing, that a part of him had abandoned him, but in that moment as he kissed her, as he felt the warmth of her body, he felt that he was once again whole.
