Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 176: THE FAIRY QUEEN’S DESIRE

Cassian’s face darkened, he felt hurt, he hadn’t stopped thinking about her for a single moment since they had separated, but apparently she had forgotten about him.

You forgot me in the short time we weren’t together?

- Has it been a short time for you? How lucky. - What do you mean by that?

- As you know, time passes differently in the fairy kingdom, what for you has been a short time, for me has been years.

- What?

After you met, the queen took away the medallion that the eifos had given me, for a long time I waited for you to come find me, I knew I couldn’t go with you anyway, but I still wanted to see you again one more time, try your kisses, feel your warmth while you hug me.

- And since I didn’t arrive, you took refuge in the arms of another?

- Things are not as you think.

– Then explain it to me, because I don’t understand anything. – I knew that Fay would come to

the human world, I’m not allowed to leave the fairy kingdom, but I wanted to see you so I got engaged to him so I could accompany him and see you.

– And did you really think that it would make me happy to see you knowing that you’re engaged to another man? I knew you wouldn’t like it, but that was the only way I had to get the queen to let me come; besides, at no time have I said that I was going to marry him, I can break the engagement at any time.

– So you’re just pretending to be engaged?

Fairies can’t lie so everything has to be real, my engagement is real, but I don’t plan on marrying Fay, he already has someone.

Cassian felt himself breathing again, he hugged her and said.

– I’m sorry, I got jealous when I heard that that man was your fiancé.

Maya hugged him back and answered.

– I’ve already realized that, it really offends me that you thought I would forget about you, because I didn’t, during all this time we were apart there wasn’t a single day when I didn’t think about you.

I’m a complete idiot, aren’t I?

– Yes, the truth is you are, but don’t worry I already knew that when I fell in love with Cassian he separated a little and joined his lips with Maya’s, their kiss became deeper, full of intensity, of content, Maya responded in the same way, while she kissed him she caressed his hair, his shoulders, his back, she wanted to feel him, for his hands to remind her again, she had wanted so much to be with Cassian in that way that for a moment she forgot why she was there.

Fay came back in to clear her throat to get his attention and said.

– We don’t have time for this, play with your human lover later.

Cassian didn’t feel any empathy for that fairy, even though he knew that she had helped Maya to be able to reunite.

_ I’m coming Fay.

Okay, but don’t be long. Fay came out of the tent again, asked Cassian, why did Maya come? The queen sent us to make an alliance.

-An alliance? He thinks she didn’t want to be a part of this war.

-She changed her mind when they attacked the land of the fairies, in fact we are also at war, we are fighting with those monsters born from darkness, but King Venobich is fighting against us.

-His daughter is leading an army of monsters, she knew that the fairy queen had one of the keys to the gates of Hades, she tried to make a deal to get it, but the queen didn’t have it, she told her but she didn’t believe her and started attacking us a few weeks ago, those monsters are hard to kill, we need weapons to fight them.

-They need blessed weapons.

-That’s right, Fay is in charge of the negotiations and I’m with him.

The blessed weapons come from the elves, you would have to talk to them.

I know, but it’s not just the elves that the queen wants to make an alliance with, she also wants to make one with the humans.noveldrama

– Why?

– The queen knows about April, she’s interested in her.

– Kme – What?. Did you tell her about her?

– She asked questions, I can’t lie, I had to answer all her questions, I could have left it out.

A shadow crossed Maya’s face and she answered.

– It’s not as easy as you think, even when she tried to lie, she ended up spitting out the truth, no matter how much I resist, the words come out without me being able to avoid it, that’s horrible.

I’m sorry, I don’t…

I know, you had no way of knowing. Fay peeked into the tent again, before he could say anything, she said goodbye to Cassian. I have work to do, I’ll see you later.

Cassian grabbed Maya’s hand stopping her from leaving, when he had seen her walk away he felt like he would never see her again, she seemed to notice his anxiety, she put her hand on his arm and said.

– I won’t leave, at least not yet, I’ll be back after a while.

_It’s better if you come with me. That would be nice.

Maya said as she looked at Fay, he nodded, Maya linked her arm with Cassian’s and said.

Then let’s go.

As they left the tent, many soldiers turned their gazes towards them. Some recognized Maya and upon seeing her with Cassian were happy for him. Others could not take their eyes off Maya’s fairy companion. He had a strange aura that did not make him look human. He had white hair and red eyes. His skin was pale and thin, and his appearance was beautiful but strange.

Cassian led them to the elves’ tent.

"May I come in?"

Dantriel left the tent and was very surprised to see Maya and the other fairy who accompanied him in that place.

"What are they doing here?" Fay replied.

"I am Faylion, representative of the fairy queen. I have come as a messenger and I request an audience with voice.

" "Come in."

As he entered the tent, Fay handed Dantriel a letter. After reading it, he said. "

So you are also being attacked.

" "Yes, the queen is furious. She wants to destroy the human king who has dared to defile her lands."

– Why have you come here and not gone directly to my kingdom?

– It is what my queen asked me, I only fulfill her wishes.

– What your queen wants is not something I can give her at this moment, the blessing of light is something that only a morc of the elven royal family can give.

That is not true, in this camp you have what my queen wants, a morc of the elven royal family, a princess to be more exact. Dantriel looked at Maya, she lowered her head, she felt guilty for having revealed a secret as important as April’s existence and apologized.

– I’m sorry, it can’t be helped.

Dantriel sighed, he knew that all fairies were obliged to tell the truth, the queen should have made her speak.

– I think you’re getting the wrong person, I’m not the one who can help you with that.

_That’s not entirely true, she has half of both, elven princess and human queen and from the looks of it that’s something the elven queen doesn’t know.

Cassian spoke for Dantriel.

“Is that a threat?”

No, I explain the situation, my queen wants the princess to go to the land of the fairies of her blessing.

-And why not go directly to the queen of the elves and ask for weapons to fight the monsters? Why does it have to be April who fairies cannot use weapons made of iron, it makes us weak and a weak warrior is a useless warrior, a walking dead on the battlefield.

-That’s true, Maya can use weapons made of iron.

-I remind you that fairies cannot lie, Maya can use weapons made of iron because she is a half-breed, half human, half fairy; we need them to bless our weapons and as Dantriel knows the elven royalty never leaves their lands, they will not go to our aid, that is why it has to be your princess who has to go.

-And if we refuse? In that case we will use any method to get what we want, no matter how vile and mean the method is.

Then it is a threat.

That depends on you, on your cooperation.
