Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

138 I'll go when you need me Cassian went to Maya's room, when he knocked on the door she took a while to open it, Maya seemed to be a little annoyed, when she saw that it was him who knocked on the door she said to him.

_What a surprise, lately you are the one who comes to look for me, Is something wrong? _No, can I come in? _Clear.

Maya sat on the bed, Cassian stood and asked her.

_ Are you OK? _Of course, why wouldn't I be? _I don't know, it's just that you were very quiet during dinner.

_Because I had nothing to say.

_ Really? _Yes, I'm fine, don't worry.

Cassian sat next to Maya, took her hand and said.

_Since I met you, you have helped me a lot.

_I know.

_So, if one day you need my help with something, just say it, I'll be there for you, just as you've been there for me.

_ What if I ask you for something crazy and far-fetched? _I have also asked you something like that, we will go to the fairy lands to look for one of the keys to Hades.

_I guess I can ask for something just as crazy when the time comes, no matter where I ask you to go, you will come for me on your white horse, like the princes in the stories.

_You are in luck, I am a prince, although I will soon renounce my title and I have a white horse.

_So it's a promise, when I need you, you'll come? _Yeah.

Maya rested her head on Cassian's shoulder and said.

_You better keep your promise.

After several kisses Alessandro took Abril back to the palace, they went straight to her room, after crossing the door he took her mouth again in a kiss long and deep, sweet and demanding, as their panting mouths parted for a moment Alessandro asked.

_Are you sure you're okay to do this? _Yes, today I felt very good, I think I'm getting used to my magic.

_ As? _When one of the seals is broken, my magic flows throughout my body.

At first it made me feel bad, but now I feel better.

I no longer lose consciousness like I did before.

I'm getting better.

_ Really? _Yeah.

_You're not saying this to reassure me, are you? _Of course not, this time I'm really okay.

_ So can we continue? April stood on her tiptoes, gave him a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_Yes, we can continue where we left off.

Alessandro took her in his arms and carried her to the bed where he gently placed her down, even though Abril said she was fine, Alessandro didn't want to put too much pressure on her body so he was extremely gentle when making love to her.

He covered every inch of her body.

part of her body with his kisses, his caresses were like the touch of a feather, soft and delicate, that day he made love to her slowly and without haste, as if they had all the time in the world to love each other, to be happy, leaving forgetting all the problems that were hanging over their heads.

Cassian sat next to Maya for a long time, neither of them said a single word, it was so quiet that Cassian thought Maya had fallen asleep.

_Maya, are you awake? _Yes, I'm still awake.

_Maybe I should go and let you rest.

Normally Maya would have invited her to stay with her, but April's words kept haunting her mind, When you share your body, you also share your feelings, a bond is created that over time is difficult to break.

Maya didn't She could create such a bond, that's why she didn't usually stay too long with the same person, her relationships were always short, she had to start drawing a line between her and Cassian.

_Yes, I think it would be best if you went, I'm tired, I'm sleepy.

Cassian was very surprised by Maya's response, he had actually thought that she was going to invite him to stay, but when she didn't, he left somewhat bewildered, before closing the door he said goodbye to her.

_Good night, see you tomorrow.

_See you tomorrow.

Maya replied and closed the door.

He stared at the door for a while in case she opened it and said it had all been a joke, but that didn't happen, so he went back to his room.

When April fell asleep she dreamed about her mother again, she had a worried expression on her face.

_Mother, what's wrong? You look worried.

_April, today I felt a strange power in the palace, I felt the darkness.

_I felt something strange this afternoon, but I don't know if it was the darkness.

_I thought you were safe here, but I'm not sure about that anymore, maybe the darkness is also in this palace, so you must be very careful April, Vritra cannot discover your power, not yet, I think it's time for you to break another seal.

_Yeah.

April did everything her mother told her, she broke another of the seals that contained her magic, it was strange but this time she didn't feel tired, on the contrary, she felt full of power.

Sophia took April's hands and said to her.

_You can feel it, your magic filling you, giving you power.

_Yes, I can feel it.

_From now on you will no longer feel tired when one of the seals is broken, your body is getting used to your magic.

_ But how should I use my magic? _I will teach you how to use it, how to defend yourself, how to protect yourself since I feel that danger may be closer than we think and you must be prepared for what comes, but only use your magic as a last resort, remember that you must hide your magic from others.

power, at least until the last seal is broken.

_I will do so.

The next day Cassian went to Maya's room, knocked on the door repeatedly, but she never opened it, one of the maids came over and said.

_Prince Cassian, if you're looking for Miss Maya, she left a while ago.

_ Where to? _I don't know, he didn't say it.

Cassian wondered where he had gone so early in the morning, he went to the living room training, upon arriving he was very surprised to see Maya, she was using a bow, she shot several arrows and they all hit the target, Cassian was fascinated with her skill and wondered what else it would be like capable of doing.

Dorian, one of the soldiers, was very close to Maya, he was praising her for her skill with the bow.

_You are very good at this, your skill is undoubtedly incredible, Who taught you? _My father gave me a bow since I was old enough to hold it.

Dorian was a tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes, very attractive.

Cassian approached them, interrupting them.

_Good morning.

Dorian made a formal greeting.

_Good morning Prince Cassian.

_ You don't have to train? _Yes, with your permission.

When Dorian left Maya told him.

_You seem very grumpy today, you haven't had a good night.

_It's not true, I'm the same as always.

Maya shot another arrow and responded.

_It's not true, you seem upset today.

_I've already said no.

_I don't want to fight so let's leave it at that.

_But I'm not upset.

Maya stared at him as if to say, Are you serious about continuing this? Cassian, seeing that Maya was starting to get fed up, changed the subject.

_I thought we were going to have breakfast together.

_You didn't ask me, so I didn't know you wanted to have breakfast together.

_Well normally we always do it so I didn't know I had to ask for it.

_Next time tell me, or I won't know, you have to be clear about what you want.
