No one will take away what belongs to you.

There will only be changes, because I believe that a good leader does not leave his teachings, he only seeks to manipulate his best weapons for his convenience and so that when it comes to attacking, none of his people are hurt.

Could conflicts be avoided?

I don't know, I think not in this world.

CHAPTER 13

DESIRE FOR POWER

???????????????

Emily

Adan discharged me on the second day and on the third day I was writhing in bed because of the cramps that never stopped tormenting me. Fortunately, on Monday the intensity of the pain had already subsided. Ginevra, very kind of her, gave me a hot compress so that my belly was deflated and that way the cramps would not send me to bed.

When I look at myself in the mirror I realize that there are red and purple spots scattered across my face, although I don't like them, I don't put on any makeup. I go down to the dining room where everyone else is having breakfast, I notice the change from the moment they start laughing and when I enter I remain silent to listen to what they say.

“Well, then we have to do an Emily Fest,” Domenico blurts out. I'm in charge of the action, the fireworks and all that shit.

—I'll arrange with flowers, I think she liked the ones you bought her the first time.

"I didn't like them," I say, causing them to remain silent and turn to look at me. I like tulips, whatever color they are, they are more common, but they are still pretty.

“Obviously they were just dreams,” Ginevra says lying. We're not having any parties.

I approach the table, Salvatore finishes writing down some things on his cell phone and takes a seat at the head of the table next to me. The maids come to serve a good fruit cake and hot chocolate with the other dishes that make up breakfast. When I look at other people's plates I realize that they don't have anything that I will eat this morning.

"I told my brother that chocolate relieves cramps," says Gin. It helps me.

—How thoughtful of you.

"We know, it's not a good part of the month from what you told me yesterday." Salvatore puts his hand against mine. Maybe that will help.

-Thank you.

" Emily!"

Trixi runs in with a sheet of paper, crayons and a dandelion in her hand, when she enters the dining room I detail her and she is wearing a cute yellow dress with white sneakers. Her braid is well done.

—I made this for you, it's an early gift for his professional birthday... Emily.

—Thank you honey, how is Leoncito treating you?

-Good.

I turn to look at him and he frowns, he brings the spoon to his mouth, tasting the dessert that was served to him.

"I was about to ask you for help," he says, capturing my attention, I lift Trix onto my lap. I needed to learn how to do hairstyles, but Gin helped me, taught me and I think it didn't turn out bad at all.

—You did my hair very well, Leoncito.

"You can ask me for any help you want," I tell them, looking at both of them alternately. I will always be there for you.

The two look at each other until they smile as if they have been faithful accomplices for many years.

"In fact," Leon clears his throat, "I would be happy if you continued teaching him, you would be his personal teacher inside the house and I think that way you wouldn't stop doing what you like, Emily."
