Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 149

The Four Kingdoms

When Cassian finished organizing the guards, he went directly to Maya’s room, knocked on the door with his knuckles, and asked.

“Maya, are you awake?”

Maya was awake; she couldn’t sleep. Upon hearing Cassian’s voice, she got up and opened

the door.

“I don’t think anyone can sleep tonight.”

“Can I come in?”

“Sure, come in.”

Upon entering the room, Cassian saw Maya’s dress lying on the floor beside the bed, torn. He asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’ve already told you yes, I just have a few bruises from the fight.”

“Show me.”

“I have them all over my body. Do you want me to take off my clothes?”

“What you did was reckless. You should have informed the guards if you saw something strange on the roof. There was no need to expose yourself to danger like that.”

“I can fight my own battles, Cassian. I’m not as weak as I seem.”

Cassian took Maya’s hand, noticing several bruises starting to form.

“You should go to Abril to have

go to Abril to have your wounds healed.”

“I don’t have any wounds, just a few bruises.”

“Even so, you should do it. I don’t like seeing you hurt.”

“And I don’t like seeing you dirty. You look awful; your face is so full of dust and dirt that I can’t even see it clearly. You need to take a bath.”

“I know, I’ll go now, but I couldn’t go to sleep without checking that you were okay.”

Maya pulled Cassian’s hand and led him to the bathroom. The bathtub was full of water. She started to undress him and said, “Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

Cassian felt the urge to kiss her. He took Maya’s chin, making her lift her face, looked directly into her eyes, and asked, “Can I kiss you?”

Cassian’s question left her a little surprised, since it was usually her who did the asking to kiss him or simply did the kissing. It seemed strange to her that he asked for a kiss, but deep down she liked it.

“Yes.”

Cassian leaned in to kiss her, but Maya stopped him before he touched her lips and said, “But first, clean up, you’re a mess.”

Maya headed to the door, and before crossing the threshold, she said, “When you’re clean, you can touch me, not before.”

She closed the door after leaving.

Cassian laughed at Maya’s response. After taking a bath, he returned to the room wrapped in a robe which was too small for him but covered what was necessary. Maya was lying on the bed. She patted the bed and said, “Come, now that you’re clean, I’ll share my bed with you.”

Cassian got under the sheets, rested his head on his arm, kept looking at her, and repeated, “Can I kiss you?”

Maya gave him a kiss in response. “What do you think?”

Cassian captured her lips again, his kiss was deep, long, and passionate, leaving Maya breathless. It wasn’t until that moment that Cassian realized how deeply he longed to kiss her, to taste her soft lips. He only let Maya take a breath and then kissed her again, hungry and voracious, wanting more, wanting to keep kissing her until their lips were tired, until the night ended, the moon disappeared, and the radiant sun rose. But she gently stopped him.

After a few kisses, in a breathless voice, Maya said to him.

“Let’s stop for tonight.”

Cassian wanted to ask why, but he didn’t dare. She hugged him, buried her face in his chest, and said,

“Let’s just sleep tonight.”

He wrapped her in his arms, satisfied to feel the warmth of her body. That night they only limited themselves to sleeping in embrace, feeling each other’s breath and shared warmth.

When Dantriel and Ethan arrived at the palace, they noticed a strange atmosphere throughout the palace. There were more guards, and they all looked somber, as if something had happened. Ethan and Dantriel went directly to the main palace and requested an audience. with the king. Gabriel led them to a room and told them to sit and wait.

They waited for quite a while, Ethan began to get impatient and said.

“I’m tired of waiting; they’re the ones who need us. Why do we have to wait for them?”

“This war concerns us all, Ethan.”

“Our kingdom can fight against the darkness; we don’t need humans.”

“Ethan, in the past when the darkness was fought, all the kingdoms were united. Eleves, fairies, humans, and sorcerers, all fought under one banner, as one people; now the fairies have isolated their kingdom and hate anyone who isn’t a fairy. The sorcerers have scattered

and now there are only a few. We cannot win this war alone.”

“The darkness is still weak; if we strike first…”

Dantriel interrupted him, saying,

“The darkness is not so easy to defeat, Ethan, don’t let your judgment be clouded by your

disdain for humans.”

“Don’t ask me for something I can’t do.”

“Then I order you. Collaborating with humans is a direct order from our queen. We are here to form an alliance, not to start a war. Don’t forget that.”

The door to the room opened, Alessandro entered, Ethan said, very annoyed.

“You’ve kept us waiting too long. If you don’t need our help, we’ll be on our way.”

“Ethan.”

Dantriel replied to silence him.

Alessandro was tired. That night he had only slept a few hours, he said to them.

“I am a king and have more things to attend to. I can’t come running when you call me. Yesterday we were attacked by monsters, monsters created by the darkness.”

Ethan was alarmed to hear they had been attacked and asked.

“Where is Sophia? Is she okay? Is she not hurt?”

Annoyed by Ethan’s use of “Sophia,” Alessandro replied.

“It’s not Sophia, it’s Abril, and she’s fine, she took care of the monsters.”

Ethan was more at ease upon hearing she was okay. Dantriel said.

“Tell us what happened.”

“Yesterday we had a ball, and King Venobich took the opportunity to send monsters created

by the darkness; there were many deaths and injuries.”

“Were they easy to defeat?”

“No, they weren’t; fire no longer affects them as it used to.”

“That means they have grown stronger.”

“That’s why they should have killed that man before he got stronger.”

Ethan said as he let himself fall onto the sofa.

“If they had done so, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Acting recklessly wasn’t an option.”

Alessandro replied.

“Even without the darkness, King Venobich is a terrifying and extremely powerful man; it would be suicide to invade a kingdom you know nothing about. I’ve sent several spies, but none have come back. There’s no way to know what’s happening in the kingdom of Laios or what King Venobich is plotting. What we do know is that with yesterday’s attack, he has openly declared war on us. It’s only a matter of time before he sends his troops here.”

“Then we mustn’t waste any more time; we need to find the keys to the Underworld before he does and prepare for war.”

“We need more warriors; your kingdom will send troops to fight in this war, right?”

“Yes, that’s why we wanted to speak with you. Our kingdom will send its warriors to fight in this war and will also supply weapons blessed with light magic.”

“When?”

“The reinforcements should arrive in a few days; they will join your army, although we will also need help from the mages. I understand you have mages at your service.”

“The mages are currently reinforcing the barriers throughout the kingdom.”

“When they finish, have them join your army, the mages will be of great help during the

battle.”

“I know; I’ve already ordered that any mage not currently occupied should come to the palace.”

“Then we’ll depart today, if possible, to the fairy kingdom.”

“I’ll summon Cassian and Maya; they’ll accompany you.”

“Then we’ll wait for them here.”

Alessandro headed to the door, and before he crossed the threshold, Ethan said to him.

“Take good care of her.”

“You don’t have to tell me, I will; she is my wife.”
