Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

148 The beautiful kingdom of fairies ​ Cassian could see the green grass through the cave's exit.

He reached Maya's hand forward; he caught it as he stepped out of the cave.

The light dazzled Maya, as her eyes adjusted to the light, she was shocked, in front of her was a beautiful clearing, there the sky seemed bluer, the grass under her feet looked soft, a beautiful lime green color.

In the distance she could see a thick forest, the trees were all different colors, they were bright and vibrant, her father had told her stories about the land of fairies, but what she had never seen before was a forest of trees.

She saw that it far surpassed her stories, she pushed Cassian aside and walked towards a small lilac bush, she was going to touch its leaves since the unusual color had caught her attention, but Ethan stopped her.

_Don't touch it, even if it looks beautiful, it can be dangerous, the land of fairies is a place full of beauty, but it is more dangerous than the human world.

_ Is it poisonous? Maya asked as she pointed to the bush.

_Yes, so even if the beauty of its leaves catches your attention, don't touch it.

_OK.

Ethan started to walk away and said to them.

_Let's go, we must reach the fairy kingdom before nightfall.

_ Aren't we in the fairy kingdom? _We are at the entrance, to get to the fairy kingdom we must walk a little further, do not get distracted and do not drink anything they give you, or you may not return.

_ Why didn't you tell us that before coming? _I'm telling you now.

Ethan and Dantriel walked quickly.

Cassian and Maya followed behind, looking at everything with great wonder, Maya wanted to get closer and touch everything she saw, but she was not so foolish as to put her life in danger for her curiosity.

They continued walking for a couple more hours, Maya saw curious eyes watching her from the bushes, she asked.

_ Do bushes have eyes? Ethan turned his gaze to where Maya was pointing, he replied.

_No, those are dryads, a kind of tree fairy.

_They are watching us.

_Yes, the fairy queen must already know we're here, so let's go.

They climbed the hill to the flat, grassy top that overlooked the fairy kingdom, a tall, large building The marble courtyard stood out wonderfully among the small, colourful houses.

It was a wonderful sight, filled with beautiful, colourful flowers.

_This is beautiful.

Maya said with great admiration, Ethan responded.

_I've already told you, don't get carried away by what you see, try not to separate and remember, don't eat or drink anything that we don't eat or drink.

Cassian and Maya nodded in unison and followed them.

As they entered the city, with every step they took, the fairies dressed in beautiful linen clothes with flowers decorating their heads stared at them and murmured.

Maya felt that most of the gazes were directed at her.

_I don't know if it's my imagination or if everyone is looking at me、Cassian had noticed the same thing, he replied.

_Yes, they don't take their eyes off you.

Ethan and Dantriel didn't make any comment, just told them to go ahead.

hurry, don't stop.

They continued walking until they reached the marble palace they had seen from the hill, at the doors there were two tall guards, with pointed ears and blue skin, they wore a leather belt in which they carried a small ivory dagger.

They held a wooden spear, the tip was made of ivory like the dagger; Maya wondered why their weapons were made of ivory instead of iron, but since they had the The front guards didn't ask anything, they just limited themselves to listening to Ethan and Dantriel.

_We have come to see the queen, take us to her, tell her that the elven emissaries are here.

The two guards must have recognized them because they let them through.

As they crossed the doors, a young fairy, short, with smoky hair and grey eyes, told them.

_Hello, I'm Narim, follow me, I'll guide you to where the queen is.

The young fairy walked in front of them, guiding them to a large room with a glass dome that let in the sun in torrents, that place was decorated with vines and beautiful flowers.

_The queen will arrive shortly.

Just as Narim had told them, a few minutes later a beautiful woman appeared, wearing a golden dress, she had a beautiful and ethereal face, it was difficult to decipher how old she was since when they looked at her closely, her face seemed young and old at the same time, she fixed her gaze on Maya, while she looked at her she said.

_ To what do I owe the illustrious visit of the elven emissaries? Ethan bowed in respect and replied.

_I'm sorry to interrupt your majesty's activities and take up your time, I'm here because our queen has asked us to deliver a message to you.

Dantriel pulled out an old scroll from his bag, bowed and offered the scroll to her, the fairy queen stared at the scroll still in Dantriel's hands and with some displeasure in her voice she asked.

_ Why should I take what you're offering me? _Please, it's something important.

The queen motioned to a blue-haired fairy girl who was a few steps behind her, the girl approached Dantriel and took the scroll.

The queen looked at all of them closely and said.

_You must be tired, we will provide you with a place to rest, food and drink.

The queen turned around, Cassian seeing her leave tried to hold her back, but the guards stopped him.

Ethan put a hand on her shoulder and said.

_Don't do anything reckless.

_We are in a hurry, we have no time to rest.

The queen watched them intently, Dantriel told her.

_Yes, we have it.

The fairy queen told them before renewing her march.

_I'm showing you my kindness, so I hope there are no problems.

Ethan and Dantriel gave an exaggerated bow, lowering their heads and responded at the same time.

_We will not give any problems to his majesty.

The queen gave them a menacing look and said.

_It better be that way.

The fairy queen turned around and continued walking, when they were alone, Ethan told her.

_Your rank as prince is of no use here, so keep your mouth shut, this is not your kingdom.

After saying that Narim approached them and led them to their rooms, Dantriel and Ethan decided to stay in the same room, so Maya and Cassian did the same, when they entered the room, Maya looked around, that room was full of plants, beautiful flowers and vines on the wall, there was a bed that could fit two people without any problem, the bed had a canopy and white curtains fell to the sides, it was beautiful, but what caught Maya's attention the most was that the room had no windows, instead

only There was a half wall with curtains that allowed a beautiful view of the fairy kingdom to be seen.

She approached the shore, she was stunned, since she never imagined that a place like that could exist.

Cassian was just like her, he came over, leaned on the windowsill and said to her.

_This place seems to be taken from a story, no, in fact I don't think there is any place like this, nor a writer who can describe its beauty.

_I think so too.

_The fairies weren't very cooperative, to be honest, Do you think they will help us? _I don't know, but I hope they do.
