Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

146 Close friends April spent the whole morning pacing around her room.

When she got tired, she sat down and stroked Koda's fur, but she couldn't stop worrying about all the wounded people there were because of the monsters' attack.

She wanted to help, she wanted to use her magic to heal the wounded, but Alessandro had forbidden her to do so.

He didn't want anyone to know that she had magic.

She had thought all her life that she didn't have magic and when everyone said she was useless, she believed it.

But that had changed, she had magic and a powerful one with which she was able to help many, but she couldn't do it, that made her feel helpless.

The sound of knocking on her door brought her out of her thoughts, then she heard Maya's voice behind the door.

_April, I'm Maya, can I come in? _Of course.

Maya entered the room, she approached where April was and asked her.

_ How are you? April took a long sigh and replied.

_Well, how are you? _I'm fine, well a little sore, I got beaten up yesterday.

April pushed Koda aside, stood up and took Maya's hand.

_Let me heal you.

_You don't have to do it, I'll be fine.

_Please let me do it, otherwise I'll run out of this room to heal the first wounded person I find.

Maya saw April anxious, she asked her.

_ Is something wrong? You look anxious.

_I feel helpless not to be able to help the wounded, Alessandro forbade me to do so, he doesn't want the fact that I possess magic to be openly known, I can't do anything for others, so let me do it for you.

_OK.

April lightly squeezed Maya's hand and infused her magic into it, immediately Maya felt her sore body recover, the bruises and fatigue in her body disappeared.

_Your magic is incredible, I have never felt so good in my life.

_I'm glad I could help you.

_I appreciate it, now my trip will be more bearable.

_ Are you leaving? _They haven't told you yet, are we going to look for one of the keys to the gate of Hades? _Alessandro didn't tell me anything.

_Maybe he didn't have time, he decided this very morning.

_ Who's going? _Cassian, me and the two elves, they will show us the entrance to the land of the Fairies.

_Good luck, I hope everything goes well.

_ Me too, for everyone's sake.

April gave him a hug and said.

_Come back, you're my first friend, I don't want to lose you.

Maya didn't answer, she didn't want to lie, because something inside her told her that she wouldn't be back, that this wasn't a see you later, but a goodbye.

She hugged him back and said.

_I'm very glad to have met you, I also considered you a friend.

The door was open, Cassian seeing that they were hugging didn't want to interrupt them, but they had to leave, he knocked on the door with his knuckles and said.

_Maya, we have to go.

They both separated, April told him.

_Be very careful on your journey._ Maya replied.

_Take care of yourself too, what's coming is not easy, no matter the adversity, or how dark the outlook looks, remember that the sun always rises in the end.

April gave him another hug, she walked them out and even though Cassian told her it wasn't necessary, she went to say goodbye.

Ethan and Dantriel were at the entrance waiting for them, when Ethan saw April he stared at her and for a moment, he thought it was Sophia who had gone to say goodbye to him.

But her fantasy didn't last long, it wasn't Sophia, it was her daughter Abril who had gone to say goodbye to her friends.

Ethan wanted to approach and ask Sophia to appeared, it didn't matter if it was just for an instant, but Dantriel stopped him and said.

_Stop, she's not the one you love, she's not Sophia, you have to forget her Ethan.

_I can't, until she has completely disappeared, while a part of her soul is with her daughter, I won't be able to forget her, I won't be able to stop loving her.

_I understand your feelings, but remember, you have never been his beloved.

_I know, I repeat it to myself every day, but my heart still doesn't listen to me.

April approached them, Dantriel had to hold Ethan by the arm so he wouldn't try to do anything reckless, she thanked them for their help, wished them a good trip and then left.

They used a teleportation scroll and disappeared, they appeared in a forest that looked dark due to the abundant treetops that blocked the way.

of the light, Cassian asked.

_ Is this the land of fairies? _I told you that you can't get there using scrolls, we're just close, from here we'll have to walk.

They walked all day in the forest, when the sun completely set and darkness enveloped everything in gloom, they decided to stop.

They lit a fire and sat around it to keep warm, since the place was very cold due to the lack of sun.

Cassian approached and saw that Maya was Shivering with cold, he wrapped his cloak around her, she said to him.

_If you give me your cloak you'll be cold.

_Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

Maya gave him back his cloak, walked closer to him and said.

_I can't keep your cloak.

_You're shaking, don't be foolish.

Maya hugged her and said.

_Then hug me and neither of us will feel cold.

Cassian put his arms around her, Ethan seeing that they were so close asked.

_ Are you a couple? Maya was the one who responded.

_No, we're just close friends.

Cassian held her in his arms, she arranged her hair in a braid, while he looked at her and wondered if one day Maya would agree to have a relationship with him, if one day they would be something more than just close friends.
