Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 449

Part II: Stories that hide the truth–2

“Do you mind if I borrow it for a moment?”

“Of course.”

Maya took off the pendant and handed it to Alessandro. After examining it closely, he said, “The design of this necklace resembles the mirrors I saw in a book a long time ago.”

“That means it must have been made by fairies, because if you look closely, it’s made of ivory. Although I’m not sure what type of gemstone the jewel is, even though it looks like a ruby, my brother told me it

wasn’t.”

“That’s true.”

Alessandro smiled and said, “Then it’s most likely real.”

“In which book did you read about these mirrors?”

Cassian vaguely recalled something about the mirrors Alessandro was talking about. He replied, “From

our mother’s storybook.”

Alessandro said, “Recently, I started reading those stories to Lissana. I discovered that many of those

stories weren’t just fantasy; they were stories about fairies, elves, and monsters hiding in the darkness.”

Cassian remembered all those stories and realized his brother was right. And something else bothered

him even more: the fact that the book his brother was talking about had been written by their mother.

“Lessan, does that mean Mother knew that fairies, elves, and the monsters born from darkness were real?

”

“What do you mean? Mother only read that book; she had no way of knowing that all those stories were

real.”

“Lessan, our mother wrote that book.”

“That can’t be true!”

“When I was a child, I became obsessed with that book. I wanted to meet the author, to know who had written those amazing stories. So, I started researching about the author. One day, Mother approached me and told me to stop looking for the author, that they had always been in front of me, that she was the one

who had written it for us.”

Maya was just as surprised as Alessandro. She said, “Who exactly was your mother?”

“Actually, I don’t know.”

Alessandro, upon hearing what his brother was saying, remembered something his mother had told him a long time ago: “My little Lessan, remember that all stories always have some truth to them, no matter how fantastic or crazy they may be.”

Part 1. Stenes that hide the truth

“It seemed that Mother hid many secrets and wasn’t who we thought she was.”

Abril had fallen asleep by the window. She woke up to the sound of whispering voices.

As she opened her eyes, she saw that almost all of the villagers were awake and trying to speak softly so as not to wake those who were still sleeping.

Sirius approached her and said, “Everyone seems to be fine, but there’s something you should see.”

Abril got up and followed him. As she saw him starting to move away from the village, she asked him,

Where are you taking me?”

Sirius brushed aside some dry bushes, revealing a cave. “What is this, Sirius?”

“I think there’s some kind of monster in that place.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I went out for a walk early this morning and saw a dark shadow entering and hiding in that place. Maybe

there’s more than one.”

Abril created a silver fireball in her hand and said to him, “Then we must cleanse this place before leaving.”

She entered the cave; Sirius followed her. He used his magic to illuminate the whole cave, and what he

saw horrified him: that place was filled with small monsters. Abril remained calm throughout. When the

first monster lunged at her, she threw the fireball she held in her hand, causing it to ignite. She covered the

cave with her silver flames, and although Sirius didn’t feel them burning, in seconds she turned all those

monsters into ashes. When there were none left, Abril extinguished her flames and said to him, “There is

nothing more we can do here, so let’s go. We have a journey to resume.”
