Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 153: YOU CAN’T LIE ANYMORE

Cassian couldn’t accept the queen’s request, he couldn’t leave Maya in that place just to get the key to the gates of Hades, he was about to tell her that she would keep her key then, that she wouldn’t accept his request, when Maya spoke.

_Okay, I’ll stay, in exchange you must give her the key you have. Cassian took Maya by the shoulders and said.

_ No! You can’t do that, I won’t let you do it.

_ I’m sorry Cassian, but that’s not something you decide, I’ll stay, that’s my decision.

_ No Maya, I won’t leave you here. The queen turned to Maya.

_ Are you sure of your decision?, Little wandering fairy.

Although it broke Maya’s heart to separate from Cassian, she knew that was what she had to do, that it was her duty.

_ Yes, that’s my decision. Then come here and swear loyalty to me.

Maya tried to go to where the queen was, but Cassian prevented her, he held her shoulders tightly, he forced her to look at him and her shoulders tightly, he forced her to look at him and with a pleading voice he said.

_ Please Maya, don’t do this, we don’t need that key, let’s get out of here, both of us.noveldrama

Maya caressed her cheek sweetly and said. This was my destiny, I can’t escape from it.

_ We create our own destiny with the decisions we make.

Maya gave him a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_ I also wanted to believe it, I wanted to believe that I was the owner of my destiny, but it is not true, a long time ago I received a prophecy, it said that when I gave my heart, I would return to my home and now it happened.

-What?

_I gave my heart to you, without realizing it, now I must stay here, the place where I am supposed to belong.

Cassian surrounded her with his arms, hugging her tightly and said. No, now less than ever will I let you stay here, we must go back, we must be together, I want to have you by my side.

_ I know, but we can’t be selfish, there’s too much to lose. She broke free from his embrace and said. Let’s not keep prolonging the inevitable... Maya walked away from Cassian and approached the throne of the fairy queen, who stared at them, when she was in front of the queen, she took out a small key that she wore around her neck and gave it to one of the fairies standing next to her and said.

_ You will give them the key after she makes the oath.

The girl nodded and stayed a few steps behind her. Maya asked.

_ What do I have to do?

The queen stood up, Maya was even taller than her, however she still looked imposing. With a confident commanding voice.

_ Get on your knees and swear that I will be your ruler from now on and forever.

Cassian tried to approach them and prevent Maya from swearing loyalty to the queen, but two guards blocked his way. When he tried to avoid them, they grabbed his arms tightly, immobilizing him.

_ Let me go. You can’t get any closer.

Desperate and unable to move, Cassian tried to use his magic to free himself from his captors, but something strange happened, his magic didn’t manifest. The fairy queen looked at him with displeasure and said.

What are you trying to do? She already said that no boy wanted trouble in my kingdom.

_ What are you trying to do? She already said that no boy wanted trouble in my kingdom.

_ Tell your guards to let me go, we don’t want your key. Ethan and Dantriel complained, but then the queen spoke.

_ She is the one who should decide, not you. The queen turned to Maya.

_ What is it that you choose, little wandering fairy.

Maya turned to see Cassian, she could see desperation on his face, the fear and anxiety of losing her, but the decision she made would not affect only them.

_ I’m sorry Cassian, but I can’t do what you ask me. Maya knelt in front of the queen and made her oath.

_ I swear before you, queen of all fairies, to be loyal to you and obey your orders, I swear by my name Maya, to bind myself to you and be under your command. The queen smiled with satisfaction, she leaned down, took Maya’s chin with a finger and blew her breath on her face. Maya felt a sweet fragrance, of flowers and fruits that penetrated her nose and felt as if invisible chains tied her entire body, at that moment she realized that her oath had not been simple words, she was tied to the queen under invisible chains. Maya felt a strong pressure on her chest, the air began to fail her, her breathing became choppy. Cassian screamed.

- What have you done to her?

_ Nothing, it is your oath that is binding you to me, from now on you are no longer a wandering fairy, you serve me and will be loyal only to me. The queen looked at Maya and said.

_ Do not be afraid, the pain will pass, it is your oath that is being engraved in your heart, from now on, you will not be able to lie, that is the law of all the fairies that serve me, lies are like fire that can destroy everything in seconds, that is why those who serve me cannot do it, now you are forced to tell the truth. The fairy who held the key, approached Cassian and advanced her hand to deliver it, however he did not take it, his whole being refused to take that key because if he did, he would be admitting that Maya would not return to him, that she would stay in that place forever.

_ I don’t want your key, I only want her back.

_ The price has already been paid for what you wanted, I don’t want your key, I only want her back.

_ The price has already been paid for what you wanted, that key now belongs to you, do with it what you want, that is no longer my problem, so take it and leave my kingdom.

Cassian punched the fairy on his right causing him to let go, he kicked the one on his left causing him to bend and he kneed him in the face knocking him to the ground, he was so fast that he didn’t give the other guards time to react, he ran towards Maya, surrounded her with his arms and said.

_ I don’t plan on leaving this place without her.

Maya couldn’t speak, the pain in her chest prevented her, a few tears rolled down her cheeks, she caressed Cassian’s face, with her gaze she begged him to leave, but he refused.

_ No, I won’t leave you in this place, I won’t leave without you, I don’t care that the world is sinking into endless darkness.

Several guards surrounded Cassian, they snatched Maya from his arms and four of them had to immobilize Cassian as he fiercely resisted.

The queen spoke again.

I have shown you my kindness, but you have thrown it away by attacking my people, so you must leave while my patience still stands.

Dantriel tried to take the key, however he could not, a strange force prevented him.

Because he could not take the key, he has lied to us.

We fairies do not lie, the key is yours, but the owner is not you.

The queen said to Cassian and said.

_ The owner is him, it was he who paid the price, only he can take what belongs to him.

Dantriel turned to Cassian and said. Take that key. No. Cassian refused. I do not want it, give Maya back to me. The queen looked at him, her gaze was intimidating.

_ Now she belongs to me, so take what you came for and leave.
