Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 131

“This morning, Abril told me that her mother showed her King Venobich. Apparently, he has already started to move. All the generals and officers are dead, replaced by puppets of darkness. They only look human, but they’re monsters.”

“Are you going to tell the elves?”

“Yes, I want to find out if they plan to lend us part of their army when the war starts.”

“Do you want us to go now?”

“Yes.”

Cassian was a bit worried about how harsh Alessandro had been with Ethan the day before and

asked,

“Will you be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, will you be able to set aside your anger? I don’t want you drawing your sword when we get

there.”

“Honestly, I’d love to do it. I’d like to kill that damn elf for touching Abril, but I won’t. I’ll control myself for the good of my kingdom, as this isn’t the best time to let my fee

take over.”

One of the maids went to fetch Abril; the designer had arrived with several dresses for the naming ceremony and the ball that would be held in two weeks. Abril went to the room where the designer was, and upon entering, she introduced herself.

“Good afternoon, Your Majesty, it’s an honor to meet you. My name is Rumia Floret.”

“Hello, Madame Rumia.”

In the room, there was a wide variety of dresses in different colors and sty out to her and said.

“These are some of my designs, I hope you like them.”

mia pointed them

Those dresses were beautiful; she had never worn any dresses like those before. Feeling overwhelmed, she said..

“They are all very beautiful, I don’t know which one to choose.”

“Why don’t you try them on? That way it will be easier to choose which one you like best.”

Abril tried on several dresses, and they all looked wonderful on her. Rumia couldn’t stop praising how beautiful she looked.

“Your Majesty is gorgeous, all the dresses look marvelous on you. I should really make a new one, but we don’t have enough time.”

“We can use any of these; your dresses are beautiful.”

“No, Your Majesty, it is your beauty that makes my dresses shine. I’m sure everyone will be left speechless when they see you; you will captivate everyone’s heart.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Of course, they will fall at your feet.”

“Well, I don’t really care much about what others think, I just want Alessandro to think I look

beautiful.”

“I assure you the king will fall even more in love with you.”

Abril looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a white lace dress; the skirt was voluminous and

seemed to shine. She asked about that dress.

“Should I choose this one?”

“That one looks wonderful on you, it makes your beautiful hair stand out.”

Hearing that, Abril hesitated about whether or not to wear it. She knew that the color of her hair

was considered taboo in the kingdom as it reminded them of her father, who had caused them so much harm, reminding them of the monster who had killed and destroyed their kingdom.

“Then maybe I shouldn’t wear it.”

Abril touched one of her curls and twirled it around her finger.

“I know no one likes the color of my hair.”

Rumia knew very well that everyone in the kingdom spoke ill of the princes kingdom who had married the king. They said she was just like her father, a

ed witch. But

she thought all that was lies; the beautiful princess in front of her didn’t seem to be that kind of person. On the contrary, she seemed to be someone sweet, kind, and considerate, as she didn’t

want to make others uncomfortable.

“It’s true that many might be bothered by the color of Your Majesty’s hair.”

Rumia responded with complete sincerity. Abril showed an expression of sadness on her face.

“But that’s because they have never met Your Majesty. When they do, I’m sure all those prejudices

will disappear, and they will feel very fortunate to see the most beautiful flower in the kingdom;

your hair is precious, Your Majesty, never be ashamed of it, you should always show it with pride.”

Those words filled Abril with confidence. In the end she decided to choose that dress and

stopped thinking about others. After all, only one person’s opinion mattered to her, and he already accepted and loved her just as she was. She only cared about what Alessandro would say when he

saw her dressed in that beautiful dress.

Alessandro went to see the elves with Cassian, and when they arrived, the tension between Ethan and Alessandro was palpable, like a storm ready to break at any moment. Cassian spoke to try to

ease the tension between them.

“We’ve come to see if we can count on your armies when the war breaks out.”

Ethan remained silent; it was Dantriel who responded.

“We can’t offer an army, but we can provide a few warriors.”

“You must be joking!”

“Of course not, but our armies are meant to protect our kingdom, so we can only offer a few

warriors.”

“I thought you said this war concerns us all, but your actions and words don’t align.”

“My warriors are strong and powerful; I dare say many are as strong as your brother.”

“How do you know about Cassian’s strength?”

“I’ve also looked into them; I don’t like approaching anyone without knowing their strength.”

“Then I’d like to test them; I don’t trust my back to someone useless.”

Ethan smirked mockingly and said,

“That’s what we should say about you. Humans always think they’re invincible, eternal, but you’re

just fools playing at being powerful. You’re the useless ones.”

Alessandro placed his hand on the hilt of the sword he carried on his weapor

I said,

“Why don’t we find out right now who the real useless one is.”

Cassian stepped between them and said,

“This is not the time to fight among ourselves, we must be united.”

Alessandro turned around and before leaving, he said,

“Call your warriors, I want to meet them and see their skills.”

“I don’t like taking orders from you, but I’ll agree to your request. I’ll ask them to come, but you’ll need to prepare a more comfortable and spacious place. I can’t have them sleep on the floor.”

Alessandro didn’t want them leaving that small cabin and meeting Abril again, but he couldn’t prevent it. They were his allies, and courtesy had to be shown.

“Of course, I’ll ask today to have a suitable place prepared for them.”

“Thanks a lot.”

Alessandro left, Cassian followed him, and when they had moved away, he said,

“I thought you said you’d control yourself.”

“And I did; I didn’t kill him.”

Alessandro returned to his office and continued working until it started to get dark. He went directly to the dining room, hoping to see Abril, but she wasn’t there, only Cassian was.

“Where is Abril? Why hasn’t she arrived yet?”

“She said she was sleepy, so she went to bed early

“Without dinner?”

“Looks like it.”

Alessandro was worried; Abril never skipped a meal.

“I’m sorry, Cas, but I can’t join you either. I want to go see how Abril is doing.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not really hungry either. I’ll go rest too.”

“Good night, brother, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Alessandro went to his room, and upon entering, he found the lights off. The only light was the

moonlight filtering through the windows. In the middle of the bed, he could see Abril; she seemed

to be sleeping. He approached her and, seeing her sleeping face, wondered if she was okay.

He stayed by her side for a while, then changed into his pajamas and got into bed, wrapping her in his arms, enjoying the warmth of her body. He kissed her forehead and wished for tomorrow to come so he could confirm that she was okay, that nothing was wrong with her.

That night, Alessandro could hardly sleep, even though Abril seemed fine; he felt something was

off.

When Abril opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was his worried and tired face; he caressed her

cheek and asked her.

“How are you feeling?”

Abril tensed up upon hearing Alessandro’s question. She wondered if Gabriel had told him she wasn’t feeling well, but since she wasn’t sure of anything, she decided to lie.

“I’m doing great.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I have no doubt.”

“You didn’t have dinner yesterday, I was worried about you, I thought you weren’t feeling well.”

“Don’t worry, I’m very well, I was just a little tired, I had a busy day yesterday.”

“Is that really all there is to it?”

“Yes, that’s all there is to it, so stop worrying.”

“Soon it will be Cassian’s naming ceremony, that day I want us to dance together.”

“But I still don’t do it very well.”

‘But you will, I’m completely sure of it.”

From that day on, Abril became much busier, taking classes on palace man lessons for dances.

and etiquette

But she was still tired from having broken the second seal, so she went to bed early. When Alessandro arrived in the room, she was already asleep.

Abril had gone for a walk in the garden. Several days had passed since she broke the second seal, but her body still felt heavy. She went for a walk in the garden before the sun sets completely to clear her mind. She stopped in front of some camellias, from which she could smell a sweet

aroma that made her relax.

“Sophia.”

Said a voice behind her. That voice sounded familiar, although she didn’t understand why he had

said her mother’s name. She turned around.

It was a man with blond, tousled hair. Abril asked him.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Ethan. We’ve met before.”

Abril remembered that he had also called her Sophia back then. At that moment, she realized who

this man was.

“You’re my mother’s friend.”

“That’s right, I’d like to talk to your mother. Can you bring her here?”

Abril shook her head.

“Things don’t work that way, I can’t make my mother appear whenever I w. only appears in my dreams when she needs to tell me something.”

On the contrary, she

“I see.”

Abril could see the disappointment on Ethan’s face, so she said something to cheer him up a bit.

“But if she appears in my dreams, I’ll tell her you want to talk to her.”

Ethan doubted he would see Sophia again; she had already said goodbye to him. Yet, he couldn’t

accept that farewell, as he wanted to see her again and tell her how much he loved her.

“I’d be forever grateful if you could do that.”

Abril stared at him intently and asked him.

“Did you know my mother well?”

“Yes, we’ve been friends since we were kids.”

Abril, who knew almost nothing about her mother, told him.
