Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 153

The Enchanting Fairy Kingdom

Cassian could see the green grass through the cave’s exit. He reached out for Maya’s hand, catching her as she emerged from the cave. The light blinded Maya, and when her eyes adjusted to it, she was astonished. In front of her was a beautiful clearing where the sky seemed bluer, and the grass beneath her feet was soft, lovely, and lime–green in color. In the distance, she could see a dense forest; the trees had different colors; they were bright and vibrant. Her father had told her stories about fairyland, but what she saw far exceeded his tales. She moved away from Cassian and walked towards a small lilac bush. She was going to touch its leaves since the unusual color had caught her attention, but Ethan stopped her.

“Don’t touch it, even though it looks beautiful, it can be dangerous. The land of the fairies is a place full of beauty, but it is more dangerous than the human world.”

“Is it poisonous?” Asked Maya while pointing at the bush.

“Yes, so even if the beauty of its leaves attracts you, don’t touch it.”

“Alright.”

Ethan started walking away, saying,

“Let’s go, we must reach the fairy kingdom before nightfall.”

“Aren’t we in the fairy kingdom?”

“We are at the entrance. To reach the fairy kingdom, we must walk a bit further. Don’t get distracted and don’t drink anything they give you, or you might not return.”

“Why didn’t you tell us that before coming?”

“I’m telling you now.”

Ethan and Dantriel walked quickly. Cassian and Maya followed them, looking at everything with great amazement. Maya wanted to get close and touch everything she saw, but she wasn’t foolish enough to risk her life out of curiosity. They continued walking for a couple more hours. Maya saw curious eyes watching her from the bushes, and she asked,

“Do those bushes have eyes?”

Ethan directed his gaze towards where Maya was pointing and replied,

“No, those are dryads, a type of tree spirit or fairy.”

“They’re watching us.”

The Enchanting Fairy Kingdom

“Yes, the fairy queen must already know we’re here, so let’s go.”

They climbed the hill to its flat, grassy top, which offered a view of the fairy kingdom. A tall, large marble building rose magnificently among small colorful houses. It was a breathtaking sight, full of vibrant, colorful flowers.

“This is beautiful,” said Maya with great admiration.

Ethan responded.

“I’ve already told you, don’t be swayed by what you see. Try not to separate, and remember, don’t eat or drink anything that we don’t eat or drink.”

Cassian and Maya nodded simultaneously and followed them. As they walked through the city, the fairies dressed in beautiful linen garments, with flowers adorning their heads, stared at them and whispered. Maya felt like everyone was staring at her.

“I don’t know if it’s my imagination or if everyone is looking at me.”

Cassian had noticed the same thing, he replied.

“Yes, it seems like they can’t take their eyes off you.”

Ethan and Dantriel made no comment. They just told them to hurry up and not to stop. They continued walking until they reached the marble palace they had seen from the hill. At the door, stood two tall guards, with pointed ears and blue skin, wearing a leather belt in which they carried a small ivory dagger. They held a wooden spear, the tip was ivory like their dagger; Maya wondered why their weapons were made of ivory instead of iron, but facing the guards, she didn’t ask, just listened to Ethan and Dantriel.

“We have come to see the queen, take us to her, tell her the emissaries of the elves are here.”

The two guards must have recognized them because they let them pass. As they crossed the doors, a young fairy, short in stature with smoky hair and gray eyes, greeted them.

“Hello, I’m Narim. Follow me, I’ll guide you to where the queen is.”

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

“The queen will arrive shortly.”

As Narim had promised, a few minutes later, a beautiful woman appeared, wearing a golden dress, with a beautiful and ethereal face. It was difficult to decipher her age because when they looked at her closely, her face seemed young and at the same time older. She fixed her gaze on Maya, and as she looked at her, she said.

“To what do I owe the illustrious visit of the emissaries of the elves?”

Ethan made a bow as a sign of respect and replied.

“I apologize for interrupting your majesty’s activities and taking your time. I am here because our queen has asked us to deliver a message to you.”

Dantriel took an old scroll from his bag, bowed, and offered the scroll. The fairy queen stared at the scroll still in Dantriel’s hands and, with a hint of displeasure in her voice, asked.

“Why should I take what you are offering me?”

“Please, it’s important.”

The queen gestured to a blue–haired fairy girl standing a few steps behind her. The girl approached Dantriel and took the scroll. The queen looked at all of them closely and said,

“You must be tired. We’ll provide you with a place to rest, along with food and drink.”

As the queen turned to leave, Cassian tried to stop her, but the guards held him back.

Ethan put a hand on his shoulder and said,

“Don’t do anything reckless.”

“We’re in a hurry; we don’t have time to rest.”

The queen watched them intently, and Dantriel said,

“Yes, we do.”

The fairy queen said before resuming her walk,

“I’m showing you kindness, so I hope there won’t be any issues.”

Ethan and Dantriel made an exaggerated bow, lowering their heads, and responded in unison,

“We will not cause any trouble, Your Majesty.”

The queen shot them a threatening look and said,

“You’d better not.”

The fairy queen turned around and continued walking, and when they were alone, Ethan said to him,

“Here, your rank as prince means nothing, so keep your mouth shut; this isn’t your kingdom.”

After that, Narim approached and guided them to their rooms. Dantriel and Ethan decided to stay in the same room, so Maya and Cassian did the same. When they entered, Maya looked around. The room was filled with plants, beautiful flowers, and vines on the walls. There was a bed that could easily fit two people, with a canopy and white curtains draping down the sides. It was beautiful, but what caught Maya’s attention most was the lack of windows, instead, there was a half wall with curtains revealing a stunning view of the fairy kingdom. She approached the edge, astonished, never having imagined a place like this could exist.

Cassian felt the same way. He approached, leaned on the sill, and said to her,

“This place seems straight out of a storybook; no, I really don’t think there’s any place like this, nor a writer who could capture its beauty.”

“I think so too.”

“The fairies didn’t seem very cooperative. Do you think they’ll help us?”

“I don’t know, but I hope so.”
