Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

107 Do n't hold on to the past Two maids entered April's room, she didn't recognize any of them, she wondered if they were new or if they had been assigned to another part of the palace and that was why she had never seen them before.

One of them spoke up bringing her out of her thoughts and asked.

_ What would you like to do, your majesty? Do you want to eat first or take a bath? April had been sweating a lot and had not been able to bathe, so she ordered that the bath be prepared first.

They took care of her with great care, during the bath they praised her beauty and the softness of her skin while they applied perfumed oils and massaged her body, April found it strange to be treated in that way since in that palace the maids had never been kind to her, what's more, at that moment She remembered when the maids would constantly come to her little house in the far corner of the palace, she remembered how she would throw dirty water at them to keep them away as she flatly refused

to return to the main palace as she had only been a prisoner there.

Back then the maids would harass her and be rude to her, however, that seemed to have changed, she wondered if all those maids had been replaced, although it was selfish she wished that they had.

When they finished changing their clothes and combing their hair, April asked one of the maids.

_Do any of you know where the little fox I have as a pet is? _Yes, your majesty, the little fox has been taken care of by us, although I must say that he is not so little anymore.

Do you want me to bring him? _Yes please.

The maids left, shortly after one returned with dinner and the other with the fox in her arms, after seeing her he jumped from the maid's arms and went straight to April, he had grown a lot since the last time she had seen him, his fur was even fluffier.

-Koda, did you miss me? April asked him as she hugged him and enjoyed the softness of his fur.

One of the maids answered.

_I think his majesty missed you a lot, it seemed like he was looking for you all the time.

_Thank you very much for taking care of him, it is obvious that you have treated him well.

_It's his majesty's precious pet, we had to do it.

_Still, thanks.

When the table was set one of the maids said to him.

_Your majesty, dinner is served.

April left Koda on the floor and went to the table, dinner was a soup that smelled wonderful, it made her mouth water.

While eating, one of the maids told him.

_We have brought something light for dinner since his majesty, the king, ordered it.

April's stomach was a little upset from the trip, although she was hungry, eating something heavy would not have agreed with her, so she told them that it was fine.

After finishing the soup she ate the dessert, it was something fresh and sweet with a lemon flavor, that made her feel good, then she ate a few grapes and asked for the tray to be removed, she was satisfied, she took Koda in her arms again and asked.

_ Do you know if Alessandro has had dinner yet? _No, your majesty, the king is still meeting with the leader of the wizard tower, do you need anything else? _No, that's all, you can leave now.

April was tired, she just wanted to sleep, but she wanted to wait for Alessandro, she didn't want to go to sleep without seeing him since the next day he would most likely get up early and she wouldn't see her until nightfall, she went out to the balcony to clear her head, a soft, fresh breeze ruffled her hair, she stared into the distance, she was back and the days when she had been elsewhere seemed far away.

Alessandro entered the room, Abril was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't feel him arrive until he put his arms around her and said.

_The trip has been tiring, why aren't you resting? _I was waiting for you, I didn't want to go to sleep without seeing you before doing so.

Alessandro noticed that Abril had a ball of fur in her arms, since she was facing away he didn't know what it was, so he asked.

_ What do you have in your arms? April turned around to show him what it was and said.

_It's Koda.

_This furball is still alive.

The maids have taken good care of him.

_Speaking of maids, has any of them been rude to you? _No, they have been very kind.

_If anyone is rude to you, tell me, I won't let anyone disrespect you.

_ The maids that were there before? _They've all been replaced, I can't let someone who doesn't respect his queen work for me.

April felt calmer knowing that all those maids who had treated her so badly were no longer in the palace.

Alessandro could see the relief on April's face when he had said that those maids were no longer in the palace, he hugged her leaving Koda in the middle of the two of them and said to her.

_I'm sorry.

_Why are you apologizing.

_For all the harm you experienced in this place, for all the humiliations they made you go through.

_That's in the past, you've already apologized enough and I've already forgiven you for that, so you don't have to keep doing it.

Alessandro gently caressed April's cheek and said to her.

_You are wonderful, there are few people who forgive and leave the past behind.

_People who cling to the past die a little every day, and I don't want that, I prefer to live and I want it to be by your side, I don't want what happened before to tarnish our future.

Alessandro gave her a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_Without a doubt you are the best, I love you Aby.

April returned the kiss by pressing her lips softly and responded.

_I love you too Lessan.

Koda began to feel suffocated, he began to move nervously in April's arms, she laughed and said.

_We're crushing Koda.

Alessandro stepped back a little and asked.

_You're really going to stay with that ball of fur.

His name is Koda and yes, once I tried to free him, he didn't want to go back into the forest.

_If you are happy with him I will let him stay.

April gave a long yawn, Alessandro told her.

_You're tired, today has been a long day, we'd better go to sleep.
