Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

123 Do n't touch my wife Sophia knew that it might not be a good idea to present herself to Ethan with April's body since she would be revealing her existence to him, however she couldn't let him continue looking for her, let him continue suffering because of her, she wanted to free him from the chains he had been carrying for more than 20 years.

_Could you leave us alone for a moment? Sophia told them as she stared at Ethan, Cassian refused to leave them alone, however, Maya and Dantriel dragged him outside.

When they were alone Sophia took Ethan's hand and said to him.

_I'm sorry Ethan, sorry for not seeing all the harm I've caused you.

Ethan caressed her cheek.

_It's not true, you're not dead.

_I died 20 years ago a few days after giving birth to my daughter, the body you are touching is hers.

_ As? _My girl is special Ethan, I was weak after giving birth and I used all my magic, my very essence to seal her magic, I wanted to keep her magic a secret so that no one would use it as a tool.

_ Why did you do something like that? Why didn't you take her to the elf kingdom? She would have been safe there.

Sophia shook her head.

_You know that's not true, my daughter is a half-blood, she wouldn't have been welcome in the elven kingdom either, you know what they do to half-bloods, even if she were my daughter, father wouldn't have been lenient with her, that's why I decided to leave her among the humans.

_Why did you have to give your life.

_She is my everything Ethan and even though it is selfish on my part, I want to ask you not to get involved in her life, do not try to take her to our kingdom and I ask that her existence remains a secret.

_Sophia...

_Promise me Ethan, tell me you won't do anything that will make my little girl sad.

_You say that your soul is with her, your soul is still intact, you can use her body and stay by my side.

Ethan told her as he hugged her, Sophia pushed him and said.

_No, I already lived my life, I would never take his.

_But I can't be without you Sophia, I can't accept that you're no longer in this world, I can't.

Sophia took Ethan's face in her hands and said to him.

_Even if you don't accept it, I'm already dead.

_Just your body.

_And soon my soul will be, that's why I wanted to come see you even though I knew it might not be a good idea.

_ What are you talking about? _I used my own soul to create the last seal, but when it breaks, I will disappear completely.

_No, I won't let that happen Sophia, I've already lost you once, I can't lose you again.

_That will be inevitable, you know that the darkness has awakened, right? April is the strongest light magician that has been born in centuries, her power is unmatched, to win this war her power will be necessary, she must break all the seals to be able to release all her magic.

_I don't care what happens with the darkness, nor with the entire world Sophia, understand that I only care about you, the rest can disappear completely, because a world without you can only turn to ashes.

Ethan looked him straight in the eyes and said.

_You are my everything and you know it.

_Ethan you know that I...

Ethan stopped her from speaking, he stole a kiss from her and said.

_I know what you're going to say, even if you tell me a thousand times, in my heart there will only be you.

Alessandro entered just when Ethan was going to kiss her again, he used his wind magic to push Ethan away and told him in an ice cold voice.

_Don't even think about laying a hand on my wife again if you still want to keep her.

Dantriel drew his sword and pointed it at Alessandro.

_And if you touch my friend again I will pierce your heart with my sword.

Alessandro put his arms around Abril to protect her and said to her.

- So you have really come to my palace? _We've come to help, but if you attack your allies, that means you're not someone to be trusted.

_That's what I should say, in this palace there is only one thing that no one can touch and that is my wife, anyone who dares to touch her will regret it.

Sophia intervened, before they could end up killing each other.

_That's enough, young king, I respect you for being my daughter's husband, however, be careful with your words, my friends are not people you can take lightly.

_ What are you saying April? _Although this is your wife's body, I am not her at this moment.

_ That? _I am Sophia Larrens, daughter of the elf king Graham Larrens, they are my friends and you owe them respect.

_You, you are using my wife's body.

_She allowed me, there was something I had to talk to them about.

_I don't care who you are, but I won't let you use my wife's body as you please.

A misunderstanding was brewing, Sophia didn't quite know how to handle that, at first she had thought about telling Ethan to stop looking for her and to promise that he would never reveal April's existence to her father the king of the elves, what she never imagined was that Ethan would cling to her so much and even less that April's husband would find out what she was doing, she sighed heavily and spoke with authority.

_That's enough, stop acting like little children, since we're all here, let's take advantage of this opportunity to talk about the awakening of darkness, that should be our main concern at this moment.

_ And what do you know about that? Alessandro asked, still upset by the reprimand he had received.

_More than you can imagine, since for some time I was the wife of the king of Laios, Vritra Vampel, if anyone knows what Vritra is up to, it's me.
