Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 392

Sirius stood up and said,

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Wait.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll write a letter to Abril. Wait outside while I write it.”

“Alright.”

Sirius left the room and stood by the door for a while as Alessandro wrote the letter. When he finished

writing it, he handed it to him and said,

“Deliver it to her in person.”

“I will.”

“And take good care of my wife.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Sirius bid farewell to the king once more and then left. When Sirius returned to the mages‘ tower, he was

very surprised when Abril suddenly appeared behind him.

“You really startled me.”

“Are you coming from the palace?”

“What do you mean?”

“I suppose so.”

Sirius wondered how Abril had found out he was coming from the palace, since he hadn’t told anyone

where he was going.

“How did you know?”

“It’s your clothes. You’re always a bit scruffy when you’re in the tower, but you tend to dress better when

you go to the palace.”

“You’re right, I just came from the palace.”

With a sad face, Abril asked,

“How’s Lessan doing?”

Sirius didn’t know whether to tell the truth or lie. He hesitated for a few minutes until Abril said,

“I suppose he’s fine, I’m the only one who feels like I’m dying being away from him.”

“That’s not true, he didn’t look well at all, he was pale, had dark circles under his eyes, and looked very

tired.”

“Is he sick?”

“No, I think it’s something called sadness, he misses you.”

Sirius took out the letter Alessandro had given him and handed it to Abril.

“Here’s the letter you’ve been waiting for. He asked me to give it to you personally.”

“Thank you.”

Abril stared at the letter for a few minutes, and Sirius asked,

“Aren’t you going to read it now?”

“Yes, I’ll read it in my room.”

Abril left without saying goodbye, and when she reached her room, she stared at the letter for a long time. This was the letter she had been waiting for so eagerly, but at that moment, she feared what it might say, worried that the words wouldn’t be what she hoped for.

She took a deep breath and mustered the courage to read the letter:

Hello my beloved wife.

4/5

Jay to Ap them

Today has been another day without you by my side. Writing these words to you is the only thing that consoles me. It’s been two months since you had to leave my side, and I confess that it hasn’t been easy at all. The days and nights, every minute and second without seeing you or holding you in my arms, have become eternal and painful. I eagerly await the day we can be together again.

You’ve said you want to return, but the time isn’t right yet. Please be patient and wait for me a little longer Never forget that I love you, you are the love of my life.

Abril hugged the letter and began to cry. She felt foolish for doubting Alessandro’s love. That day, she cried for a long time, longing for the day she could be with her beloved again.

After crying for a good while, Abril wiped her tears and ran to Sirius’s office. She burst through the door, startling Sirius. He threw the papers he was holding into the air and said, “What are you doing? You nearly

scared me to death.”

“I want to learn to fight.”

“What?”

“You said I needed to learn to defend myself to be able to return, so I want to learn to fight.”

“What exactly do you wish to learn?”

“Something I can learn in a short time.”

“Why don’t you go to the wizards‘ training room and decide what you want to learn?”

“I suppose that’s a good idea.”

“It certainly is, so you should go immediately.”

“Yes, I’ll do that.”

In reality, Sirius didn’t care what Abril was going to learn; he just wanted her to stay occupied for a while

and leave him in peace. He picked up the papers Abril had made him drop and focused on his work, forgetting about her.

After two months, with the arrival of winter, the war began. Alessandro marched to the border with his

army and the army of elves.

When Abril found out that the war had started, she ran to Sirius’s office and entered without knocking.

“Is it true that the war has already begun?”

“You know, there’s a reason this room has a door.”

“Answer my question.”

Sirius was organizing the wizards to go to the border and join the battle. The last thing he wanted at that moment was to deal with Abril. He sighed heavily and replied, “Yes, and that’s why I’m very busy. I would appreciate it if Your Majesty would stop wasting my time. I must prepare to march immediately to the

battlefield.”

Sirius headed to the door, but Abril stood in the way, blocking his path, and said, “I will go too.”

“Your Majesty has not given his permission…”

“I don’t care, I want to go. I’ve learned to defend myself; I won’t be defenseless on the battlefield. Besides, my magic is more effective against those monsters.”

“I know, but your magic can also nullify our spells. If that were to happen, we would be defenseless.”

“That won’t happen. I’ve learned to control my power.”

“But…”

“If you won’t let me go with you, I’ll go on my own. Wouldn’t that be worse?”

Sirius didn’t have time to continue this dispute with Abril. He scratched his head and said to her.

“Fine, do as you wish, since you’ll do it regardless.”

“Then I’ll go prepare.”

Before she left, Sirius said to her.

“Wait.”

“If you’re going to try to convince me not to go…”

“It’s not that, I just wanted to remind you to keep being Amara.”

“I already know that.”

Abril went to her room and put on a brown robe like the ones the other mages would be wearing. She

joined the other mages in the courtyard, and Sirius said a few words.

“We are heading to the battlefield, everyone must be prepared and alert.”

Everyone shouted in unison.

“Yes, sir.”

Sirius activated a magic circle and everyone was transported to the battlefield.

When they arrived, Abril was horrified to see a pile of corpses behind them. The strong smell of blood and death hit her nose, causing her to feel nauseous. She covered her mouth with her hand. Sirius approached

her and said,

“We were at peace for so many years that for a moment I forgot what war was like.”

Seeing Abril covering her mouth to escape the strong smell of blood in the air, and noticing her whole body trembling, Sirius said to her.

“You shouldn’t be in this place.”

Abril removed her hand from her mouth and nose, forced herself to come to her senses, and replied.

“No, now more than ever I know this is where I need to be.”

In the distance, the screams and clashing of swords could be heard, along with the sight of crimson flames and monsters flying through the air. At that moment, Abril recognized Alessandro’s wind magic and knew where he was, at the front fighting against that horde of monsters and enemy soldiers.

Sirius began giving orders to the mages to reinforce the barriers, and to others, he ordered them to go to the front and support the soldiers so they could retreat and reorganize. Abril stood there, unsure of what

to do, until Sirius said to her.

“There are many wounded. You could help with that.”

“Of course.”

Abril approached the most severely wounded and began to heal their injuries. This continued all day, and

as the sun began to set, Abril saw the soldiers returning. Among them, she spotted Alessandro. Seeing

him, she froze. She had always thought about what she would do when she saw him again, but at that

moment, she didn’t know what to do or say. She just stood there, watching him from afar.

One of the mages approached her and shook her shoulder to get her attention.

“Amara, more wounded have arrived, some in critical condition. I need your help.”

Abril wanted to refuse and go to Alessandro, but she knew that wasn’t the moment. Knowing she had that

power, she felt obliged to share it with others. She turned around and said in a barely audible whisper.

“Just a little longer, soon I’ll be with you, my love.”

Sirius followed Alessandro to his tent. While Alessandro washed the blood from his face, hands, and

arms, he asked him.

“Are you injured, Your Majesty?”

“No, the blood’s not mine.”

Alessandro stared at his reflection in the water, his face covered in the blood of his enemies, and said,

“This war is even worse than I had imagined.”

“It’s true, it seems even more brutal than the previous one.”

Alessandro splashed water on his face and said.

“I’m glad Abril isn’t here to see any of this.”

Sirius felt a chill run down his spine when Alessandro asked.

“How is she? It’s only been four months since I last saw her, but it feels like an eternity.”

“Well, the queen is… here.”

The last part Sirius had said so low that Alessandro hadn’t been able to hear it.

“Speak clearly. What has happened to my wife?”
