Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

145 Something of the same value When Cassian woke up, he saw Maya sitting on the bed, reading the book his father had given her, she looked at him with a worried expression on her face; he gave her a small caress on the back to get her attention and asked her.

_ Have you been awake long? _No.

_ What are you doing? _Nothing.

_You seem restless, what's wrong? _Too many things, aren't you worried? _I am too, but I don't know, it seems like you're worried about something else.

_I'm a little worried about the keys, I don't think they'll give them to us just by asking for them.

_I hadn't thought about that, but darkness is something that affects us all, shouldn't they want to help us? _I'm not so sure, but let's hope so.

One of the maids knocked on Maya's room door and said.

_Miss Maya, I've been sent to find you.

Maya closed the book she had in her hands, stood up, opened the closet and took out a blue tunic and black pants, while changing she said.

_ Your clothes were very dirty, I will ask someone to bring you a change of clothes.

_Yes, I wouldn't like to go out into the hallway in such a deplorable state.

He snapped as he stood up wearing a robe that barely covered the most important parts of his body.

After finishing changing, Maya looked out the door and asked the maid who was standing in front of the door waiting for her to come out so she could guide her to where she had been ordered to take her.

_ Are you ready, Miss Maya? _Yes, but first I want you to bring a change of clothes for Cassian.

From the door she could see the prince inside the room wearing a robe that was too small for him, she gave him a quick glance and looked away.

_Right away, Miss Maya, The maid left, she found Lisa, another maid who was in front of the door of the prince's room, she asked her.

_ What are you doing Lisa? _Doroti, they sent me to look for Prince Cassian, but I think he's not here since he's not answering.

Doroti opened the door and said to him.

_That's because he's not here, he's in Miss Maya's room and from his clothes I think he slept with her.

_So the rumors that they are together are true.

_It seems so.

_What luck that girl has, what did she do for the prince to fall into her hands? _She is very pretty.

_She must have seduced him with her body.

After Doroti took the clothes from the closet, she went to the door and said.

_Be careful what you say Lisa, no matter how your relationship started, she is your partner, you will be in trouble if your words reach her ears.

_I know, it was just a comment.

_I'll give you some advice, if you want to continue working here, save your comments.

Lisa followed her and said.

_Wait for me, I have to do what I was ordered to do.

Lisa followed Doroti to Maya's room, after delivering the clothes, after a short while the two left the room, Lisa informed the prince that he had also been summoned and then left.

Doroti led them to the room she had been ordered to take them to and left.

_It took you a long time to come, I suppose it is a royal custom.

Ethan complained as Maya and Cassian entered the room.

Maya ignored his words and asked.

_ How did your trip go? It was Dantriel who answered, as he took out two medallions, they were leather cords with wooden charms carved in the shape of two circles, Maya took one and asked, _ Will this actually work? _I assure you that it is effective.

_ Have you ever used them before? _Yes, from time to time they sent me as an emissary to the fairy kingdom; I assure you that they work.

_ And when will we leave? _I think it would be best if we went right now, we have no time to waste.

_Yes, I think the same thing, it would be best if we left immediately.

_So let's get ready to leave.

_Yes, any suggestions for the trip? _Hum...

just wear comfortable clothes, we'll have to walk a lot to get to the fairy kingdom.

Maya asked when she heard that they had to walk.

_ Can't we use a teleportation scroll? _You can't get to the fairy kingdom using a scroll, we'll get to a certain part using a scroll, but we'll have to walk.

Maya walked to the door and said.

_Then I'm going to get ready.

After Maya left the room Cassian asked them.

_ Do you think the fairies are willing to help us? That they want to give us the key they have without asking for anything in return? _I doubt it, fairies are not very generous, if we want them to give us the key to the doors of Hades that they possess, we must give something of the same value.

_ And what do you suggest we give them? _I don't know, we'll know when we're there and we'll give them whatever they ask for.

_ What if it's something we can't give them? _We'll have to find a way to give them to them.

Maya was finishing packing her things into her bag when, someone knocked on her bedroom door, it was Cassian, she asked him.

_ Have you already prepared your things? _Yeah.

Maya saw that Cassian was dressed in simple clothes, he must have tried to look like a commoner, but he couldn't hide his lineage, he still looked like a prince, she laughed and said to him.

_If your purpose in dressing like that was to go unnoticed, let me tell you that it doesn't work, you still look like a prince.

_ Oh really? _Yeah.

Cassian approached and asked.

_ Are you ready? _Yes, I was just finishing putting away the last of it when you arrived.

Maya could see some concern in Cassian's eyes, Maya asked him.

_ You look worried? _I asked the elves if the fairies would give us the key to the gates of Hades that they possess...

_I guess they said no.

_They said they will ask for something of the same value as the key.

_Hmm...it was to be expected that they wouldn't give them to us so easily, but we're sure to find a way to convince them to give them to us.

_Yes you're right.

Maya took her bag and said.

_Then let's go.

_Wait, I want us to go see April before we leave.

_ So that? _To cure you.

_I'm.

_Please, I'll feel calmer if you do.

_Okay, then let's go.
