Abandoned by her ruthless father and left to die in a frozen palace, Princess Abril survives years of neglect through sheer will. On her fifteenth birthday, she’s suddenly summoned, dressed like a bride, and sent to the throne room. But why now? Is she about to be sacrificed in a royal marriage or used in a far darker scheme?
Abril was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees. The cold winter was piercing her bones like sharp thorns. She tried to cover her small and delicate body as best as she could, but the abandoned palace where she had been sent to live didn’t provide her with the comfort she needed. Abril was the…
The king extended his hand, upset that he had to touch the daughter of his sworn enemy. Alessandro wanted to end this occasion as soon as possible, so he shortened the ceremony and said, “In the presence of the goddess Juno, I join my life to yours.” “From today, we will be husband and wife.”…
“I will never touch your disgusting body.” “Who knows how many men you’ve been with before me.” “Listen carefully, princess Abril, you will never have my heart, not even a place in my bed, and from this day on, make sure not to cross my path, because if you do, I may lose control and…
“Disappear from my sight right now.” Abril laughed ironically. She had never been treated well in that palace. Trample on others, she laughed at that term because it was the maid and that woman, like a poisonous snake, who trampled on her and hurt her. But he wouldn’t believe her, no matter what she said,…
Abril asked herself curiously, putting her head on her husband’s chest to make sure his heart was still beating. Upon confirming that he was still alive, she tried to wake him up. She shook him, tapped him lightly on the chest, and when he didn’t respond, she gave him a strong blow to the face,…

“When I feel better, I will bring her back myself.” “For now, you can send the maids to take care of her.” The king said. “Yes, Your majesty.” A few hours later, the butler sent several maids to attend to the princess. They saw the princess barefoot and her clothes covered in dirt. They looked…
“Is your majesty’s hatred so strong that I can’t even be allowed to live in this remote part of the palace in peace?” “What have I done for your majesty to hate me so much as to make my life miserable?” “Tell me, because I don’t understand, why does everyone hate me when I’ve done…
Cassian gripped his leg, it hurt terribly from running all the way there, his leg couldn’t hold him anymore, and he fell to the ground on his knees. Alessandro stopped what he was doing and helped his brother to stand up and said to him, “Cassian, you came running here.” “You know you shouldn’t do…
