Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 183

CHAPTER 190: THE LIFE | 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, shad 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 sbranches 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 cto receive them, the

humans on the other hand, are not very popular here.

_ | 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.

_ Hello, I am Narim, welcto the land of the fairies human queen, elf princess, follow me, | 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 dthat 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 | 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 telf princess, April Venobich, or should |

call you queen of the humans?

You can callby 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 cto visitfrom tto

time, it's a shshe 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, | have a war to win.

_ Since you're direct | will be too, | will bless your weapons, but you must givesomething 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? | 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 | return it to you and give freedom to the woman I love.

_ No, she is not going anywhere and you should go where you cfrom 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 cto 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 againsthas clooking for, excuseif my treatment is not the most cordial, but

he must go.

Casiano responded. | 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 | 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, | don’t want you to hurt yourself, we'll find a way to...

There’s no other way Cassian, she'll never letgo and after being with you again, | realized that | 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 the 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 | have not been clear before, so | 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, | 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.

_ | can’t give you the girl.

_ Then | can’t give you my help.
