Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 207

“Were you dominated by darkness?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“I saw what darkness did to our father, our sister, and everyone who was in contact with it. I didn’t want to end up the same way.”

“You didn’t want power?”

“A power that dominates you, instead of you dominating it, seems useless to me.”

“I’m surprised you think that way.”

“I just want to return to the kingdom of Laios and fix the mess our family created, and be a good

king.”

Abril looked directly into Enzo’s eyes, and as she did, she could see he wasn’t lying.

“I thought you were more wicked. I’m surprised to see that’s not the case.”

“I’m not good, I’ve done very bad things to try to win my father’s favor, but that’s no longer necessary, although I don’t think Cira will relinquish the throne so easily.”

“And what do you plan to do?”

Enzo took out a dagger, balanced it in his hand, and replied.

“I’ll kill her if I get the chance, or maybe she’ll kill me. I don’t know, but there’s a chance she might come after you first, and then I won’t have to worry about anything.”

Abril knew that as long as Cira was free, she couldn’t be completely safe, but she didn’t want to think about it, so she stood up and said to him.

“I must go.”

“Are you going back to Cosset?”

“Yes, I’m going back now. What about you?”

“I’ll return to Laios, clean up the kingdom, and send you a letter when I need your help to seal the rift that connects to Hades.”

Abril headed to the door, before leaving she said to him.

“I hope what you’ve said is true, and you’re not plotting anything.”

“You can be confident that what I’ve said is true.”

Abril opened the door, and before she crossed it, Enzo said to her.

“By the way, Duke Vampel is being controlled by the darkness. Kill him or do as you seem fit.”

“Thanks for letting me know.”

As she left the room, Maya and Cassian asked her.

“Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go home.”

Alessandro left his office and headed to the garden where the tree with the portal to the land of fairies was located. He had done this every day since Abril had left, touching the trunk of the tree and wondering when she would return.

A week and a half had passed since Abril had left, but for Alessandro, every day and every minute spent away from his beloved felt like an eternity.

He rested his forehead against the trunk of the tree and with sighs of sadness, he asked again.

“Aby, when will you return?”

After saying that, the trunk of the tree began to glow, and Alessandro took a few steps backwards to have a better view of what was happening. Suddenly, he saw the silhouette of a person emerging from the tree, and he blinked several times until his eyes adjusted to the light.

When his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw Abril. She ran towards him, hugged him, and with a big smile, she said, “I’m back.”

Alessandro was overwhelmed with surprise and happiness. He lifted her into the air, spun her around a few times, and then kissed her.

Alessandro gently caressed her face as if he couldn’t believe she was there.

“Is it really you? Tell me I’m not dreaming, that it’s real.”

Abril stood on her tiptoes, pressed her lips against his, and said, “It’s real, I’m back.”

“Even though you’ve only been gone a short while, it feels like an eternity.”

“It was the same for me. I missed you a lot.”

Maya and Cassian crossed through the portal, and Alessandro, seeing them together, was happy for his brother. He had managed to return with the woman he loved.

“Brother, I’m back.”

“I’m glad to see you’re both well.”

Ethan and Dantriel crossed shortly after. Dantriel greeted him, but Ethan didn’t; seeing Abril in Alessandro’s arms always made him feel a pang of ealousy, even though he knew she wasn’t the

woman he loved.

Alessandro asked, “How did everything go?”

Abril replied, “It’s a long story, we’d better get comfortable. Let’s head inside.”

They all went to the imperial palace, to the king’s private room. Everyone gave a report of what had

happened in the land of the fairies; Alessandro remained silent, listening attentively to what they were saying, even when sometimes what they told him filled him with anxiety and fear of what was to come. When everyone finished speaking, he said with a furrowed brow and a face marked by concern, “So this isn’t over yet.”

Abril took his hand and said, “For now, yes, it’s all over. Enzo, my brother, told me that Cira was weak and would take a long time to recover.”

Alessandro didn’t trust Enzo and partly hated him because he had tortured the woman he loved for

a long time, causing her invisible wounds that inflicted great emotional damage; she still had

terrible nightmares about those memories.
