Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 221

“Enjoy your happiness while you can, because I will ensure it doesn’t last long. I will take everything from you and leave you completely alone, just as you always were.”

Cira ordered the bird to hide. She didn’t want to be discovered so soon; she didn’t want to alert her

sister of her presence.

Abril was rocking Lissana when she felt a strange presence, but it was only for an instant, so she

thought she might have been mistaken, that it had all been a product of her imagination. More

than a year had passed, but she was still nervous, unsure of when Cira might attack again.

When the baby fell asleep, Abril gently placed her in the crib and called one of the maids to stay

with her while she took a bath.

Marin,

the maid who looked after Lissana, was very tired because she had helped in the kitchen that day, as the usual maid was ill; while watching the baby sleep peacefully, her eyes began to

close without her realizing it, and she ended up falling asleep.

A dark, bird–shaped shadow entered the room and perched on the edge of the crib. Lissana woke

1. up. Although the bird in front of her was terrifying and grotesque, she did not cry; she just stared at

it intently.

Cira, from the darkness of her cave, ordered the bird to attack. The bird swooped down to attack

the little baby.

Abril was in the bathtub enjoying her bath when she felt a strange presence. It was small but filled

with malice, and it came from Lissana’s room. Abril got out of the bathtub, wrapped herself in a

robe, and ran to Lissana’s room. When she arrived, what she saw surprised her.

Lissana extended her small arms, and a bright light came from her hands. When it touched the

bird–shaped monster, it disappeared, turning into ashes.

Abril ran to Lissana’s side, took her in her arms, and checked her small body for injuries, but there

were none. Abril held her close, relieved to see she was fine but fearful knowing her daughter’s

powers had awakened, as it was not normal for her power to manifest at such a young age.

Marin woke up, and upon seeing the queen, she stood up immediately.

“Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I was very tired, I must have fallen asleep without realizing it. I promise this won’t happen again.”

Actually, it was a good thing Marin had been asleep only Abril knew about her daughter’s power awakening, and she wanted to keep it that way for while.

“Don’t worry, Lissana just woke up.”
