Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

98 Let's be lovers.

Cassian told Maya everything, the reason why he was looking for information about the elves and that April possessed light magic, she was stupefied at what he was telling her and stared at him without saying a word.

_ Aren't you going to say anything? _Take me with you.

_ That? _I want to meet the possessor of light magic.

_You can't.

_ Why not? _Because my brother will be angry if he finds out I told you.

_Then don't tell him.

_ And what do you want me to tell him when he sees me arrive with you? _Make up anything, for example, you could say that I am your lover, so she won't suspect that I am going with you.

_ No! I would never say something like that.

_Hey! It's not like she's that ugly.

_It's not because of that.

_Then why can't you say that.

_Because to begin with we are not lovers and I would not lie to my brother and it would be a dishonor for you if I said that you are my lover.

_It's true, I forgot that for nobles a woman's chastity is something very important, but let me tell you something, we commoners don't care about that and we can easily fix what we're not lovers about.

Maya stood up from where she was sitting, walked over to Cassian, placed her hand on his chest feeling his firm muscles under her fingers and said.

_We can be real lovers, but only for a while.

I'm more of a free spirit, I don't tie myself down to anyone.

Cassian gulped, he had never had a girlfriend or fiancée, Maya offering to be his lover made him very nervous and he didn't know what to answer.

Maya started laughing seeing him so nervous.

_ It was a joke, right? _No, I'm serious about us being lovers.

_So why were you laughing? _You've never been with a woman, right? Cassian didn't answer, he just avoided her gaze, Maya got even closer to him, she wanted to tease him a little with her fingers she caressed Cassian's lips while she looked him straight in the eyes and said.

_If you don't have experience, I'd mind teaching you, I'm a good teacher.

_You shouldn't say that kind of thing.

_ Why not? Don't you want me to teach you? _It's not like that, but it's not correct.

_You're funny, the one who says what's right and what's wrong, the nobles and their customs, stupid customs, they complicate their lives for nothing.

_That's not true.

_Of course, but it doesn't matter, you'll take me with you whether you want to or not and I don't care what excuse you make up for your brother.

_Now I regret having told you everything.

Maya smiled and said.

_I'll go pack my bags, I'll be back soon.

Maya approached the door and before leaving she said.

_Don't even think about leaving me behind, because I will find you and when I do you won't like what I'm going to do to you, so you better wait for me, little prince.

Maya returned to the information guild, there she found her brother who was talking to Ethan, she sneaked closer to listen to the conversation they were having.

_I've looked everywhere for the person you're looking for, but I haven't been able to find him.

_I saw her a few days ago, she can't have disappeared.

_Maybe it's someone who looks like him, he seems to have disappeared.

Ethan stood up annoyed and said to him.

_She can't be missing, she must be nearby and I'm going to find her.

_I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your request.

After Ethan left Maya approached her brother and asked him.

_ Who is that man looking for? _That's none of your business.

_Barto, I'm your sister, you know you can trust me.

_I know, but you know there are things I can't reveal.

_I'm just curious, you know I love everything that has to do with them.

_Sometimes your curiosity is too great, I'm afraid it will end up getting you into trouble at some point.

Maya shrugged and said.

_Well, you know how I am, so tell me what that man is so desperately looking for or else I might end up going up to him and asking him what he's looking for.

Barto knew that his sister's words were true, that he was quite capable of going to find that elf and ask him what it was that He was searching just to satisfy his curiosity, he patted his head and said.

_Come, let's talk in my office.

Maya followed her brother to the office, after crossing the door she asked.

_You're going to tell me what that elf has been looking for for so long.

_Another elf, a princess to be exact, apparently she escaped from the elf kingdom some years ago.

_ Is that elf looking for a runaway princess? _That's how it is.

_ What else do you know about that elf princess? _Nothing more, he says he saw her a few days ago, but I haven't been able to find anything about that person, it's as if she didn't exist.

_ Do you think that princess is still alive? _I don't know, but if he is, he's been very good at hiding his tracks.
