Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 43

43 Furious The next morning April woke up first, her body feeling tired and her legs aching.

When she opened her eyes the first thing she saw was Alessandro sleeping next to her, he was hugging her, she

was very upset with him for lying to her, he had told her that he would stop if she asked him to, however, he

hadn't done it, even though she had begged him with tears in her eyes.

April tried to escape from his arms, but he wrapped his arms around her even more, touching her waist beneath

the sheets.

She blushed when she realized she was completely naked, that he was touching her body directly without any

piece of clothing.

Her face turned red from the embarrassment she felt.

Half asleep Alessandro asked him.

_ Where are you going? _Far from his majesty.

She answered with a hoarse voice, she also sounded very upset, Alessandro released her from his hug and asked

her.

_ What's wrong? Why are you so upset? April frowned, she couldn't believe he had the cynicism to ask why she

was so upset.

_His majesty lied to me, he said it shouldn't hurt.

_I said a little bit.

_That wasn't a little bit, it was a lot and he said he would stop if it hurt, but he didn't.

Alessandro didn't think that the princess who was always calm would get so angry, he told her.

_Sorry, next time...

April didn't let him finish speaking, she screamed with great anger.

_There will be no second time, | will not believe his majesty's words again, he is a liar, | hate him.

_April, you're exaggerating things a bit.

April pushed away the king's hand that was trying to touch her and said to him.

_l don't want to see your majesty, | want to go back home.

_l don't think April was that bad, they seemed to enjoy it yesterday too.

April covered her ears, she didn't want to hear what the king had to tell her, she was too upset and although she

used to be calm she could be very foolish when she wanted to, she told him.

_I don't want to hear your majesty's words again, they are all lies.

April was too upset, Alessandro stood up and picked up her clothes from the floor, while she was changing he

tried to calm her down, but she refused to listen to what he had to say.

In the end he had no choice but to leave her alone, when he left the room he called for a doctor and specified

that she be a woman, he also called for the maids to take care of the princess until the doctor arrived.

When Alessandro arrived at his office he found Sirius, that day he had gone to bring more medicine for the

princess, seeing him with his clothes in disarray he asked him.

_ Has something happened to you, your majesty? _My wife is furious with me.

_Talk about the princess.

_ Do | have another wife? _ Why is the princess upset? Alessandro hesitated for a moment whether or not to tell

her what had happened with Abril.

_Let's say | lied to him.

_ And that's why you're angry? "It's because | told him he wouldn't feel any pain," the king replied in a low voice.

_ Should I hit him? _No, what kind of man do you think | am? _So what happened? _Yesterday we consummated

our marriage, | told him it wouldn't hurt, well | told him a little, but this morning when he woke up he kicked me

out of the room.

_You're sure he's talking about the princess, | find it hard to imagine someone as calm as her doing something

like that.

_Although it may not seem like it, she has her character, she can be a fool when she wants to, she didn't even

want to listen to what | had to say.

_ Was it that bad? _No, but, she is furious.

Alessandro ruffled her hair and said.

_Damn, | don't understand women, can you believe | said there wouldn't be a second time.

_She can't refuse, it's her duties as a wife.

_Try to tell him without him kicking you out of the room, I'm the king and he doesn't care about that.

_I really find it hard to believe we're talking about the princess.

_Well, believe it or not, he can be a beast when he wants to be, he's scary.

Sirius couldn't believe the words that were coming out of the king's mouth, he who had faced the sking

Venobich who was considered a demon without any fear, but who said that the princess, a thin and small-built

young woman, was scary.

_Perhaps if his majesty apologizes she will forgive him.

_You think I didn't try, if he didn't even letspeak.

_I really still can't believe we're talking about the princess.

_You can stop repeating the swords over and over again.

Alessandro sighed heavily and said.

_If I can't handle one wife, those nobles are crazy if they think I'll take a second wife, and now what do | do to get

her to forgive me? Listening to King Sirius speak he realized one thing, the king was speaking like a man in love

trying to please his wife, it seemed the king had ended up falling into his own game, the one who had ended up

falling in love had been him, but in the state Sirius was in he did not consider it prudent to say anything.

Alessandro ordered the doctor to csee him when he finished examining the princess, just as he ordered she

went to his office, he asked her.

_How is my wife? _She'll be fine, she just needs to rest for a few days.

_And your wound? _It's almost completely healed so there's no problem with that either.

_Is she still angry? The doctor did not know what to answer to the king's question, which he found a bit strange.

_I don't know how to answer that, your majesty.

_Truth be told, she's either upset or not.

_She was a little upset.

_ Just a little? _No, actually | was furious, | was cursing his majesty.

_What should | do? _Excuse me? _What should | do to make her forgive me? _| don't know, your majesty, I'm just

a simple doctor, | can't help you with that.

_You can go now.

Alessandro spent the whole morning wondering what to do to get her to forgive him, but no matter how hard he

tried, nothing cto mind.

Cassian burst into his office suddenly, he seemed very upset.

_ What have you done to the princess? _I don't know what you mean.

_She says she wants to leave and she's cursing you, she tried to go back to the house she lived in, but |

managed to stop her, what did you do to her? _We just consummated our marriage, but it was painful and he got

upset because | told him it wouldn't be.

_ That? _It's true that | lied to her, but it's not for her to get so angry, | didn't want to lie to her.

At that moment Cassian felt as if the ground beneath his feet was collapsing, he knew that would happen sooner

or later but he never imagined that when it cit would be so painful for him, Cassian clenched his hands into

a fist trying to control himself, then turned around returning the way he had cwithout saying anything about

what his brother had just told him.

Alessandro returned to his room and tried to talk to Abril, but she still refused to talk to him and kicked him out

of the room again.

Alessandro returned to his office feeling like the worst of wretches.

The butler entered the king's office to bring him tea as he always did.

After crossing the door, the king asked him.

My wife is furious, what can | do to get you to forgive me? _ That? Respond quickly.

_Apologize.

_l already tried, but he didn't want to listen to me.

_Bring her flowers.

_I haven't tried that, she asks for her room to be filled with flowers, except for roses, she doesn't like them, nor

any that have thorns.

_As your majesty commands.
