CHAPTER 178: A FOOLISH FAIRY

When April found out that Maya was at camp, she ran to where she was, when she saw her she pounced on her, hugged her and said.

- How nice to see you? Maya hugged her back and said. Aby.

I thought I’d never see you again.

- If I’m honest, I think the same, I think I’d never see them again.

- What are you doing here?

Before Maya could answer, Ethan shouted angrily.

They’re here to take you, that woman is a traitor, she’s told the fairy queen everything, who you are and what you can do, get away from her.

April separated from Maya in surprise. Maya’s expression turned grim, she hated herself for betraying them.

- April, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to betray them but...

- I’m sure you had no other choice.

– I really didn’t want to reveal your secrets to the fairy queen, but I couldn’t help it, I can’t lie, I tried to hide it from her but she’s too cunning, you can’t fool her.

April took Maya’s hands and said to her.

– I believe you Maya, after all you can’t lie, right? That’s right.

– Then I have no reason to doubt you. Maya hugged him and said.

– Thank you very much for believing me, for trusting me.

– You’re my friend and I know you wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. Ethan pulled April away from Maya and said to her.

– She just wants to use you, don’t you see? It’s true that fairies can’t lie but they can disguise the truth.

Fay was starting to get annoyed by Ethan’s attitude, he replied.

Fairies with a long life learn to do it, but Maya is just a kid and she’s new to not being able to lie, she doesn’t know how to disguise the truth, so stop talking nonsense, she knows she’s not lying.

You can’t say the same about yourself, you know how to disguise the truth, nothing that comes out of your mouth is true.

– Elf this doesn’t concern you, so why don’t you shut your mouth and let me intervene.

Ethan wanted to break Fay’s mouth, he was going to jump on him but Dantriel stopped him and said. Calm down Ethan, this is not something that a Necla fairy should interfere in, the decision to help you or not is April’s.

Dantriel had gone to look for them very early that morning, he hadn’t had time to explain anything to them since he had only mentioned Maya and April had run away, Alessandro had followed him and didn’t wait for him to say anything either. Alessandro spoke.

– Can you explain to us what this is all about? They’ve come to take her away. Ethan shouted very upset.

Alessandro’s face darkened, he didn’t know if what Ethan was saying was true or false, but what he was sure of was that no one would take his wife.

I don’t care that they came, but no one will take April.

-It’s not like you have any options, human king, you are forced to collaborate with us.

Alessandro unsheathed his sword and said to him.

-If you lay a hand on my wife, you will not live to tell the tale. April stood between Alessandro and Fay.

-Calm down Lessan, we will listen to what they have to say first before making any decision, please.

Alessandro put away his sword and said to him. Okay, but I will not let anyone separate you from me. April turned to Fay.

Could you explain to us what it is that you wish for?

My wishes do not matter, they are the wishes of my queen, we are being attacked right now by an army of monsters born from darkness, our weapons are useless against them.

Do you wish for blessed weapons?

We don’t want weapons, we want your blessing, the elven royalty doesn’t leave their kingdom, they won’t help us, but you’re different, they don’t know about you yet, you can go to the land of fairies and bless our weapons.

Alessandro stood between Fay and April, as he directed his hand to his sword he said.

_ She won’t go with you anywhere.

– You’re in no position to refuse, if they refuse to help us... A huge explosion was heard in the distance, as well as the roar of thousands of monsters, Alessandro cursed.

Damn it, it had to be right now.

– What’s going on?

– They’re attacking us, I must go.

Alessandro kissed him on the forehead and said.

– I’ll be back.

Alessandro gave Fay a murderous look and said.

– Don’t come near my wife, if you do anything to her she’ll kill you.

Cassian hurriedly put on his armor Maya approached him and said.

– Let me accompany you.

– I’m going to the battlefield, it’s very dangerous, it will be better if you stay here.

– No, I’m going too, you know I’m an excellent warrior, let me help you.

Cassian got close to Maya’s face, his forehead next to hers and said.

No, out there is like being in hell, I don’t want you to go to a place like that, I wouldn’t forgive myself if something happened to you.

The same thing happens to me, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, let me go with you and cover your back, let me protect you now that I can.

– But…

Maya gave him a kiss silencing his voice and said.

– I really won’t accept no for an answer, if you don’t let me go with you now I will leave after you do, I will go to the battlefield and look for you until I find you.

You are a fool. But that’s what you like most about me, right?

Cassian kissed her and answered.

– Yes, I think that was one of the reasons I fell in love with you, although right now I wish you weren’t.

You better give me a weapon and we go before they leave us behind.

Fav seeing that Mava was leaving with Cassian said to her. Maya, you shouldn’t go.

– If I don’t listen to the man I love, what makes you think I’ll listen to you?

Fay sighed heavily and just said.

– Just don’t die out there, you have serious problems with the queen if she doesn’t bring you back in one piece.

– Don’t worry, I don’t plan on dying here.

Maya left with Cassian. Dantriel almost dragged Ethan out, he complained that he didn’t want to leave, that he wanted to stay to protect Abril and cursing Fay, also threatening him, saying that he would kill him if he dared to take her.

When everyone left the store and only the two Abrils were left, they asked him.

- Hey, if the queen helped you, could she free Maya?

-Do you want to negotiate with her?

– Yes.

Fay scratched her head and answered.

The truth is that I do not think she will accept that request.

– Why not?

– Because Maya has caught the attention of the queen, she is her favorite, she will not let her leave.

– Then you will not have my help.

– She answered You are not in a position to negotiate

– Neither will she.

April, after leaving the tent and headed to the entrance of the barrier, all the soldiers were prepared, among the crowd, in the first row April saw Alessandro and in front of him, behind the barrier, a multitude of black monsters as ink of different shapes and sizes scratching the barrier.

April raised her gaze to the sky and prayed to God to take care of her husband and her friends, that they return safe and sound. She repeated that prayer a sinful number of times while she watched them from a distance, since she had a bad feeling, she felt as if something was not right.

While she watched them she said.

– Return safe and sound, and be very careful please.
