Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

122 This is not my body When Sophia opened her eyes she felt strange having a physical body, she got out of bed and went straight to the balcony, a gentle breeze ruffled her hair, the warm rays of the sun caressed her skin, those were sensations that she never imagined feeling again, after all, she was already dead, only her soul had remained clinging to April in order to protect her.

She went back to the room and put on the first dress she found, then looked at herself in the mirror, April was identical to her, except for one thing, her long reddish hair, she put her hand on the mirror it was as if she was seeing her own reflection, she wondered what face Ethan would make when he saw her, what he would say when he found out she was dead, that all this time he had been looking for a dead woman.

Although they were a little far away she could feel their presence, so she went out and went to look for them.

As she walked she saw the beauty of the gardens, for a moment she felt as if she had returned to the kingdom of the elves since the buildings and the gardens had a certain resemblance, it had been so long since she had left her kingdom for love, that she never imagined that she would miss it so much.

*** When Cassian and Maya arrived at the small cabin they found Ethan and Dantriel at the door.

_ Are you going somewhere? Cassian asked, seeing that they were wearing their cloaks despite the heat.

Since that morning Ethan had been sensing a presence similar to Sophia's, he had told Dantriel that he would go find her, before Cassian and Maya arrived, the two had been arguing as he told her that she couldn't move recklessly.

He didn't want to say what he was planning to do so he answered.

_We weren't going anywhere.

Cassian raised the basket high and said.

_We brought you something to eat.

Dantriel took the basket and replied.

_I doubt they just came here to bring us food, what do they want? _It's true, I didn't come here just for that, I want you to tell me how to fight the darkness, not something vague, I want details.

_Okay, but I also want details, I want to know who we are facing.

_Yes, I'll tell you everything you need, let's go inside, it's hot.

They were about to enter when Ethan turned around and ran away.

Everyone turned to see where he was going, when Cassian saw April approaching his blood ran cold, she shouldn't be in that place, she shouldn't have met the elves.

Ethan stopped in front of her, he touched her face, although her hair was a different color he recognized her immediately.

_Sophia.

He hugged her and said.

_I finally found you, finally.

Sophia was just as excited, she found that hug so comforting that she couldn't help but cry, her tears falling like pearls down her cheeks, she could barely articulate his name.

_Ethan...

Cassian, seeing April return the hug, wondered if they already knew each other.

He approached and asked.

_April, do you know him? Sophia separated from Ethan although he resisted a little, he didn't want to let her go.

_I'm not April right now, I've just borrowed her body for a while.

Cassian was very confused, he didn't understand what was happening.

It was scorching hot that day, she told him.

_It would be better to continue this conversation inside, there are many ears here.

They all followed her, as she passed Ethan he stared at her, he was the last to enter, he stayed by the door, blocking the exit in case she decided to escape.

Ethan stayed by Sophia's side.

_ What do you mean you're not April? And where do you know each other from? Cassian asked again with an expression of annoyance and confusion on his face since a moment ago they had seemed very close, _This is April's body, but right now it is my spirit that controls it, she is in a dream so to speak.

Ethan didn't understand what Sophia was saying and asked.

_ What nonsense are you talking Sophia? Sophia turned to Ethan and said.

_I no longer have a physical body Ethan, I died many years ago, today I only met with you because I want to free you from your obligations as my knight.

_It's a lie.

Ethan took her face in his hands, put his forehead on hers and said.

_You are not dead, you are here with me, I can feel your warmth, your breathing, if this is not called being alive, then I am dead too.

_She doesn't lie.

Dantriel replied as he stared at her.

_That's not Princess Sophia.

_Don't talk nonsense Dantriel, you have her in front of you, maybe you don't see her _It's you who is so blinded that you can't realize that she's not Princess Sophia.

Ethan stared at her, she looked exactly the same as he remembered her, the only difference was the red hair.

_Tell me it's not true, that it's all a joke.

_I'm sorry Ethan, but it's not a lie, I'm already dead.
