Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 68

Cassian had to use several scrolls to reach the mage tower where Sirius was. Using multiple scrolls at once caused significant physical strain, but Cassian didn’t care. He had a bad feeling about what was happening to Abril, so he used them without taking any breaks. After breaking the last scroll, he appeared in the tower’s courtyard, dizzy and weak, barely able to

stand.

Sirius was at the top of the tower, observing the courtyard when he saw Cassian appear suddenly. Seeing that Cassian was in bad shape, he quickly descended to meet him using magic, reaching his side in minutes. Cassian was about to collapse, and Sirius held him up, asking, “Prince Cassian! What are you doing here, and in this state?”

“It’s Abril, she’s not well,” Cassian replied.

“That’s not important right now. Your condition is not good, Prince Cassian. How many scrolls did you use to get here?” Sirius asked.

“Three, maybe four. I’m a bit dazed right now, I don’t remember well,” Cassian admitted.

“In one day?”

“In one hour,” Cassian corrected.

“You’re crazy! That could kill anyone. Let’s go inside, you need to rest,” Sirius insisted.

“No, Abril is more important right now. Her magic seems to have gone out of control,” Cassian explained.

“What?” Sirius exclaimed.

“You need to go to Sasette. My brother and the princess are there,” Cassian urged.

“Wait a moment. What do you mean her magic is out of control?” Sirius asked.

“When I touched her, I felt as if all pain, all wounds or injuries I had, disappeared,” Cassian explained.

“Your leg?” Sirius asked.

“I think it’s fine now, but Abril is unconscious. Lessan tried to wake her, but it was impossible. She’s in some kind of deep sleep,” Cassian said.

“I need to see her, but first, I’ll take you inside,” Sirius insisted.

“I’m going with you,” Cassian declared.

‘Absolutely not. Using more scrolls to teleport would be suicide. I won’t let you do that,” Sirius stated firmly.

“But Abril…” Cassian protested.

“There’s nothing His Majesty can do for the princess right now. The only thing you can do is rest and regain your strength,” Sirius said.

“But….” Cassian began.

“I’ll be clear, Prince Cassian. You would only be a hindrance if you accompany me in this state, and it would take me even longer to help the princess,” Sirius said bluntly.

Cassian clenched his hand into a fist. Though Sirius’s words were harsh, Cassian knew they were true, so he stopped insisting on accompanying him. Sirius took Cassian inside the tower, left him in a room, and after asking one of the mages to take care of the prince, he headed to the mining city of Sisette, where the king and the princess were.

Sirius knew it was urgent to reach the princess because when a person’s magic got out of control, the bearer could die. So he used teleportation scrolls and air magic to get there as quickly as possible without risking his life.
