Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

128 Lovers When Cassian woke up, the first thing he saw was Maya sleeping next to him, after returning from the city, the two had dinner in his room and after a few glasses of wine everything got out of hand, their mouths came together, the fire lit between the two and the clothes began to get in the way, the two ended up in bed tangled in a tangle of impure caresses.

For Cassian his first time had been wonderful, but the second was even more so, just remembering everything they had done his body trembled, he had to force himself to think of something else so as not to end up attacking Maya while she slept.

When he had calmed his desire, he caressed her cheek.

She woke up and opened her beautiful red eyes that were like two rubies.

She clung closer to him, buried her head in his chest and said to him.

_Good morning.

Cassian felt his breathing stop, he took a deep breath and responded a little embarrassed as he felt her naked body pressed against him.

_Good morning Maya.

_Tell me it's not dawn yet.

She told him with her eyes still closed, refusing to believe that it was already daylight.

The first rays of sunlight filtered through the windows, Cassian answered.

_It's already dawn.

_I told you not to tell me, I'm still sleepy, I don't want to get up.

She complained as she rested her chin on his chest.

_You don't have to do it, we can stay in bed a little longer.

Maya sat up and said to him.

_I wish, but I have to go, the faster I go the faster I'll come back.

Cassian felt down at having to part with Maya, but in reality they weren't even in a relationship, he didn't even really know what they had exactly.

_ What is our relationship? Maya stared at him, seemingly puzzled by the question he had just asked, Cassian realized he had said out loud what he was thinking; seeing her strange reaction he hurried to say.

_Well, I don't know what to call what we have, that's why I'm asking.

_Hum...That depends on you, what do you want us to be? _I don't know, that's why I asked.

_I already suggested it before, but you still haven't given me an answer.

_ What about being lovers? _That's right, I think that would be a good term to describe what we have now, don't you think? _I guess you're right, that would be a good term.

_So I am your lover, well until you find a wife of course, when that day comes, our relationship will end, I don't want to be the one cursed for being with a married man.

Cassian still thought that marrying Maya wouldn't be a bad idea so he told her.

_You don't want to be my wife.

With a serious look on her face Maya replied.

_No, I don't want to be your wife.

_ Do you really not plan on ever getting married? _That's right, I can't get married, so don't suggest it again.

_ What do you mean by that? _Nothing that matters much really.

Maya stood up, she picked up her clothes from the floor and while she was changing Cassian stood up and changed quickly to accompany her to the palace doors and say goodbye.

After finishing changing, Maya told him.

_I'll see you when I get back.

_I will accompany you to the palace doors.

_It's not necessary.

_I still want to do it.

_But I don't want you to do that, so we'll say goodbye here.

Maya kissed him on the cheek and said.

_See you soon, little prince.

Cassian had noticed that Maya was very sensitive about the subject of marriage, at first he thought it was just because she really didn't want to get married, because of her free spirit, but he no longer believed that was it, he wondered what the real reason was why she so flatly refused to get married.

After breakfast, April went to the library to continue her studies.

She spent the whole morning immersed in books, but she didn't look well.

Gabriel asked her.

_Your Majesty, are you okay? _Yes, I'm just a little dizzy.

Gabriel opened the window to let in the cool breeze from the garden and said to her.

_ Do you want me to call the doctor? _It's not necessary, I'm fine and please don't tell Alessandro, I don't want to worry him.

_As your majesty commands.

April continued reading the book she had in her hands.

Although she felt terrible, breaking the second seal had not left her as exhausted as the first, however, she did not feel good at all.

The princess had told him that she was fine, however, Gabriel was still worried because she did not look well at all, he did not She wanted to disobey his order by going to tell the king that she was feeling ill, but she could not ignore her condition either.

He went out for a moment and asked one of the servants to bring some tea that would relieve fatigue and be good for dizziness.

As she did not want to say that it was for April, she lied saying that she was not feeling well at all.

Gabriel received the tea and served it himself.

_Your Majesty, please take a moment to have some tea.

While drinking tea, April looked out the window to feel the fresh air and said to him.

_Thank you very much for the tea, it did me good.

_I'm glad that's the case, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask.

_For now, just don't tell Alessandro that I'm not feeling very well, I don't want to worry him, if he finds out that I'm not feeling very well, he'll surely exaggerate everything.

_I will do whatever you order, your majesty, but if it doesn't improve, I will have to inform the king.

_I know, but it won't be necessary, tomorrow I'll be as good as new, I just feel a slight discomfort, it's nothing serious.

_I hope so and your majesty recovers soon.

Alessandro was going through some papers when he heard a knock on his office door.

When he raised his head he saw Cassian leaning through the door and asking.

_Hi Lessan, can I come in? _Of course Cas, come in.

Cassian, seeing the mountain of papers on Alessandro's desk, said to him.

_I'm sorry to interrupt you when you're so busy.

_Don't worry about it, I'll finish it somehow, but tell me, what have you come for? _I just wanted to tell you that Maya already left this morning.

_You must be sad because he's gone.

_Of course not.

_In two weeks there will be a ball to give you the title of duke, are you ready? _Yeah.

_ Have you been to see the elves? _Not yet, I was thinking of going after seeing you.

Alessandro stood up, looked out the window and while he looked at the garden, he said.

_This morning April told me that her mother showed her King Venobich, apparently he has already started to move, all the generals and officers are dead, he has replaced them all by puppets of darkness, they only have human appearance, but they are monsters.

_ Will you tell the elves? _Yes, I want to know if they plan to give us part of their army when the war starts.

_ Do you want to go now? _Yeah.

Cassian was a little worried about how harsh Alessandro had been with Ethan the day before and asked him.

_ Will you be okay? _ What are you talking about? _I mean, you'll be able to put aside your anger, I don't want you to draw your sword when we get there.

_The truth is that I would love to do it, I would like to kill that damn elf for having touched April's body, but I won't do it, I will control myself for the good of my kingdom since this is not the best time to let myself be carried away by my feelings.
