Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 204: A NEW PRINCESS

A few days after the festival, Cassian and Maya left the palace, since then it seemed to April that the place had become quieter but it had also become quieter, everyone in the palace was kind and took care of her with great care, that was nice for her.

The seasons were changing as well as April’s body, her belly had grown quite a bit and although it was difficult for April, her belly had grown quite a bit and although it was difficult for her to move, she was happy to feel her baby move inside her.

April was looking out the window at the snow-filled gardens when Alessandro approached her with a blanket and put it on her shoulders.

- It’s very cold, you should dress a little more warmly.

- I’m fine, I’m not cold.

- You should still take care of yourself.

One of the maids came in, she was carrying hot chocolate and cookies on a tray, when she smelled the sweet aroma of chocolate her mouth watered. Alessandro helped her to the table, after serving what she was carrying on the tray the maid left.

April began to devour the cookies, her happy expression while she ate stole Alessandro’s heart, he wiped the crumbs off her cheeks and with a smile said to her.

- Watching you eat is always a pleasure.

- Are you making fun of me? Alessandro shook his head.

- I’m not making fun of you, for me it is a real pleasure since I can always see a beautiful smile drawn on your face and there is nothing that makes me happier than seeing you smile.

- By your side I always have reasons to smile, you make me very happy.

- Ah!

April complained of pain, Alessandro immediately stood up, took her hand and asked her.

- Is it time yet? Is the baby going to be born?

April laughed at Alessandro’s exaggeration, caressed her belly and answered.

- I’m fine Lessan, the time has not yet come.

- But I heard you complaining of pain, should I call the doctor and the midwife and the maids to take care of you.

April took Alessandro’s face in her hands and answered.

- Don’t even think about it.

- But ...

- Lessan the baby only kicked me, that’s why I complained, lately he moves a lot.

- But what if it wasn’t just that and our baby is going to be born.

- When the time comes you’ll know, since not only will I complain but I’ll scream and howl in pain, maybe I’ll even hit you and bite you if I have you near to relieve my pain, so stop exaggerating about everything.

- But if the doctor or the midwife were to check you...

- If you continue with that annoying attitude I won’t see you until after the birth.

- What?

- Lately you’ve become a pain in the ass, if you don’t change your attitude I’d rather be alone, it’s up to you.

Alessandro was still worried about April, but he knew that if he kept insisting he would only make Aby angry, so he told her.

- Okay, I’ll change my attitude, but if the pain starts...

- When that day comes you’ll be the first to find out. A few days later.

It was early in the morning, Alessandro woke up feeling a strong blow to the face, he turned on a light and shook his head nervously wondering who had hit him. It had been Abril, she looked pale, on her face there was an expression of pain, she grabbed his arm digging her nails into it and with a high-pitched voice she said to him.

- IT’S TIME, CALL WHOEVER YOU WANT.

- What?!, It’s time already?, Is our baby going to be born?

- Yes, so call whoever you want, but do it now.

She said those words accompanied by a cry of pain.

Alessandro called the maids pulling the ropes that were next to his bed since Abril was holding his arm tightly, he tried to calm her down saying.

- Calm down my love, everything will be fine.

The pain was becoming more unbearable, she wanted to scream at him that it wasn’t like that, that this was only the beginning and she already felt like she was dying, but the words were drowned by a cry of pain.

The maids came in a little while later, hearing the queen’s screams of pain and her face marked by pain, they rushed to call the doctor, the midwife and the maids who would be helping with the delivery.

When the maids arrived with hot water and blankets. One of them said to Alessandro.

- Your majesty, you must leave the room.

- I will not leave, she is suffering, do something to help her.

- Pain is natural during childbirth, we will do everything possible to help her but you must leave.

- NO.

- The midwife came in, seeing the king clinging to his queen she approached him and said.

- Your majesty, you must leave.

- I refuse to leave my wife alone, right now.

- She is suffering and you are only getting in the way, so leave.

In those moments she only wished for everything to end, the pain had become more intense, she screamed.

- I will be fine Lessan, go.

- But..

The midwife told him.

- Your majesty, this is not something a man should see, please wait outside, we will take good care of the queen and the baby.

Although he hated the idea of ​​​​letting her leave the room, he stayed outside waiting for one of the maids to come out and tell him what was happening, but the hours passed and Alessandro only heard April’s screams of pain from the other side of the door, anxiety and fear seized him. He could not stand the situation anymore, he opened the door, the screams of pain had ceased and instead the crying of a baby was heard.

Alessandro stood by the door watching as April held the baby in her arms, her face was sweaty and she looked tired, but still the expression on her face was undoubtedly the most beautiful he had ever seen.

With a sweet smile he said to her.

- Lessan, our daughter has already been born.

- Alessandro approached them, looked at the baby and then at April, alternating his gaze from one to the other, finally he gave a kiss on the forehead to April and said to her.

- You have done very well my love, thank you very much for this beautiful gift that you have brought to this world.

The midwife took the baby and said to Alessandro.

- Congratulations your majesty, the queen has given birth to a princess.

That did not surprise Alessandro, throughout the pregnancy April had told him that the baby in her womb was a girl and in reality she was extremely happy that it was a girl.

The midwife cleaned the baby, wrapped her in a blanket and asked the king.noveldrama

Your majesty wants to hold the princess.

Alessandro nodded, the midwife told him the correct way to carry her and handed her to him. When he felt that tiny being in his arms he felt like the happiest man in the world and at that moment he understood why Abril had smiled that way when he had held her in his arms. He wanted his daughter to grow up beautifully and be in good health so he chose the name.

- Lissana, that will be your name.

Alessandro looked at Abril, she smiled when she heard the name Alessandro had chosen for his daughter and said.

- That’s a good name, I like it.

- Lissana, that’s the name of the crown princess.

Abril was surprised to hear Alessandro say that Lissana would be the crown princess, in the kingdom of Laios the throne was given to the firstborn regardless of gender since what mattered there were the abilities of the successor and therefore if the heir did not fulfill his role, he was changed for another. But in the kingdom of Cosset it was different, the throne was given to the first male child, the fact that he was giving the throne to his daughter made her very happy.

The midwife took the princess back and said.

- Your majesty, we are not finished yet, please leave.

- Alessandro had already checked that they were both fine so he did not reply when the midwife took him out of the room again, upon leaving Alessandro told one of the maids to announce that the queen had already given birth, that there was a new princess in the kingdom of Cosset and that her name was Lissana.
