Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

CHAPTER 190: THE LIFE I WANT TO LIVE

From the distance April glimpsed a tall, large marble building that rose wonderfully between the hills, the closer they got she could see small colorful houses. It was a wonderful sight, full of beautiful flowers.

Maya shouted. We’ve arrived, we have to descend.

They landed in a small meadow next to a stream, there were several fairies, some had green, blue skin, some did not look human, but there were others that did, although they all had a certain beauty that enchanted. They approached with fruits, flowers and some branches with colorful leaves, April thought that all those things were being offered to them, but she soon realized that it was not like that, they were for the winged horses.

The fairies passed by her side ignoring them or dedicating an expression of contempt to them, April wondered why those had seemed to hate them or if it had just been her imagination.

Maya seemed to decipher her expression and said.

_ The winged horses are very dear and precious by the fairies, that is why they have come to receive them, the humans on the other hand, are not very popular here.

_ I already realized that. Fay began to walk towards the palace and said. Follow me, we must greet the queen.

April had heard a lot about the queen, so much that she was curious to know what she was like.

Fay took them to the marble palace, the guards who were stationed at the doors let them pass without asking questions. Further on she met a young fairy, short, with smoky hair and gray eyes, she bowed to April and said.noveldrama

_ Hello, I am Narim, welcome to the land of the fairies human queen, elf princess, follow me, I will guide you to where the fairy queen is.

The young fairy walked in front of them, guiding them to a large room with a glass dome that let the sun in in torrents, that place was decorated with vines and beautiful flowers.

That was the queen’s throne room, that place brought back bad memories to Cassian.

The queen was sitting on her throne, to April she seemed like a beautiful woman with an ethereal beauty, but someone cold.

Everyone except April bowed to the fairy queen. So she also shows her dignity as a queen. The fairy queen thought as she watched the life I want to live.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth. April was not used to bowing to anyone, not only because of her title but also because of her ignorance, that was the real reason why she hadn’t bowed to the fairy queen.

The fairy queen began to speak.

_ I’m glad you’ve finally arrived, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time elf princess, April Venobich, or should I call you queen of the humans?

You can call me by my name, there’s no need to use any title okay.

The fairy queen stood up and approached April to get a better look, after examining her carefully with her gaze she said.

Your resemblance to your mother is admirable. Did you know her? As it is, she came to visit me from time to time, it’s a shame she fell in love with a human, that was her downfall.

April wanted to refute what the queen had been saying, but she couldn’t, because deep down she knew it was true.

_ I don’t like to beat around the bush so I’ll be direct, bless the weapons of my soldiers, I have a war to win.

_ Since you’re direct I will be too, I will bless your weapons, but you must give me something in return.

_ It seems fair to me, what is it that you wish? I wish for you to free Maya.

The queen had directed her gaze at Maya. When their eyes met Maya knew what the queen’s answer would be.

No. Cassian and April were very surprised by the queen’s answer, but Maya did not seem surprised, although deep down she had wished to receive a positive answer.

You can ask for anything else that is within my reach, except Maya. Cassian said very upset. Why not? I have my reasons.

Cassian took out the key to the door of Hades that the fairy queen had given him before and said to her.

If what you want is your key it will be returned to you, but she freed Maya.

The queen seeing that Cassian had the key to the door of Hades, frowned, she looked truly upset and with a serious tone she said to him.

_ You are a complete idiot, how did it occur to you to bring that key back to my lands.

This key was in your possession, now I return it to you and give freedom to the woman I love.

_ No, she is not going anywhere and you should go where you came from with that key.

The queen began to use her magic to open a portal and surely the guards who were there.

Get this idiot human out of my lands. April blocked their way and said. Enough, we have come to help and this is how he treats us.

_ The key that this stupid human prince carries is something very dangerous, that is precisely what the person who has started a war against me has come looking for, excuse me if my treatment is not the most cordial, but he must go.

Casiano responded. I do not plan to leave here without Maya. That will not happen, she is a fairy and must live as such. Maya took out a small dagger that she carried in her belt and shouted. Enough.

The guards stood in front of the queen to protect her, the queen stared at her and asked very irritated.

- What do you think you’re doing Maya? Put down that dagger. Maya put the dagger to her neck and said.

_ If I can’t be free to live as I wish, with the person I love, then I’d rather die.

Cassian was scared to see what Maya was doing and said.

_ Maya drop that dagger, I don’t want you to hurt yourself, we’ll find a way to...

There’s no other way Cassian, she’ll never let me go and after being with you again, I realized that I can’t live without you anymore, so...

_ Maya put down that dagger.

The queen ordered forcefully, those words were like chains that forced Maya to do her will, she threw the dagger aside and fell to her knees holding her chest, she seemed to be affected.

Cassian ran to her side, took her in his arms; with great anger he shouted at the queen. What have you done to her?

I have only made her see reason, guards take her to her room.

Cassian clung to Maya to prevent her from being taken away, he wanted to use his magic, but it was useless, just like the first time he had been in that place, his magic had disappeared.

When one of the guards tried to touch Maya, silver flames surrounded Maya and Cassian.

April could still use her magic, she screamed loudly calling the queen’s attention, she seemed perplexed.

_ Leave them alone, I think I have not been clear before, so I will repeat it once more, free Maya and leave Cassian alone, if you do not want to have one more enemy to face.

- Are you threatening me? No, I am simply stating the terms, you choose what you want. You do not know who you are messing with. April raised her face high and replied.

_ I say the same, even though we are in your kingdom right now, you seem to have forgotten that we are part of the royal family and you have also forgotten that it is you who needs our help and not the other way around.

The queen’s face turned red with anger, she looked like a boiling pot, April on the other hand was firm and self-assured.

_ I can’t give you the girl.

_ Then I can’t give you my help.
