Chapter 184

CHAPTER 191: A QUEEN’S PROMISE

The queen was furious, Maya was her descendant whom she had recently recovered, someone who looked a lot like her daughter who had died a long time ago and she was about to lose her again, she played the last card she had left.

If you refuse to help me they will know of your existence, I personally advised them to know of your existence and I assure you that when that happens you will no longer be able to live among humans. April responded without any fear or hesitation.

Well do it, I don’t care.

Don’t you love your human husband? Do you really not care about having to separate from him? Of course not, but I do not intend to let anything or anyone separate me from the man I love, I do not care if that leads me to a war.

You are a fool.

_ If I have already stated my demands, Maya’s freedom or our help, what would you choose?

The queen had nothing left to bargain with, plus she was running out of time, her magic was running out, she wasn’t going to be able to keep delaying the war any longer; the only thing she could do was accept April’s demands.

_ Okay, I’ll free her, but only if that’s what she really wants and it will be after we’ve won the war against your sister.

_ How can I be sure that you will keep your word?

_ I always keep what I promise.

_ Free her before.

_ No, I’ll do it later, otherwise how can I be sure that you will help me.

April didn’t know what to answer, the queen smiled and said.

_ It’s obvious that none of us trust each other, but unlike you I can’t lie, if I say that I will keep my word it’s because I will, but I can’t say the same about you so we’ll do it my way.

April exchanged glances with Cassian and Maya, both of them nodding.

Okay, then it will be done your way, we will help you and in exchange you will give Maya her freedom back.

I give you my word, I will free Maya after this war is over, as long as she wants it, but I do not want the prince in my kingdom, he must leave.

_No, he stays. _It

is a danger to everyone that he and the key he has brought with him remain in this place.

He will not go anywhere.

_I hope you do not have to regret your decision.

The queen answered as she turned around and began to walk away.

_Fay April to the armory and have her bless our weapons. The queen ordered before leaving the throne room.

April approached Maya who was still on the floor looking tired.

_Are you okay?

_Don’t worry, I’m fine.

Cassian was hugging Maya and told her.

_ Don’t try against your life again.

Maya put her hand on Cassian’s and said.

I’m sorry I didn’t think very well about what I was doing.

Maya I love you and even if we couldn’t be together I could bear it if I know you’re okay, but a world without you, that I couldn’t bear, your life and mine are one, so next time think very carefully about what you do.

Fay approached them and addressed April first.

We must go to the armor, Maya you must go rest, you don’t look well, Cassian spoke.

April should rest a little before ...

That will not be possible, the queen has already given her order and as you know the demands requested is something that she would not have given so easily.

You don’t have to worry about me Cassian, I’m fine, I’m full of energy so don’t worry, you take care of Maya, I’ll go find them when this is all over.

But, I promised my brother that I would take care of you, how could I let you go alone.

Ethan told him.

She won’t go alone, we will accompany her.

Cassian didn’t trust the elves much, but even though Maya said she was fine, her face reflected the opposite. He had no choice but to accept than to exclude the elves from protecting her.

_ Okay, I’ll leave her in your hands, take good care of her.

Fay began to walk in front, April, Ethan and Dantriel followed behind him. After that Narim approached and said to Cassian.

_ Maya needs to rest, the queen’s orders said with such force not only affect our body, but also our souls and the firmer the order, the worse it will be for whoever receives it.

Maya seemed to be barely conscious, Cassian took Maya in his arms and said to Narim.

Show me the way.

Fay took April to a long, tall building, which was next to the palace, when she opened the doors April was very surprised to see the large number of weapons that were in that place.

You must bless with your magic you take the weapons. Ethan asked April.

Blessing a weapon is heavy and tiring or since you must infuse a large amount of magic, doing it with so many weapons would be very dangerous.

You don’t worry, I’ll be fine, since I broke the last seal that held back my magic, my power does not seem to have an end, I’ll be fine and if that were not the case I hope you catch me before I faint, Fay said.

Enough talk, start doing your job, we have no more time to waste.

April stood in the center of the room, closed her eyes and began to spread her magic like a torrent throughout the room, the weapons began to glow slightly. April blessed each weapon and unlike when she had done the same to bless Alessandro’s armor, this time she was not tired at all, the magic flowed freely through her body, she smiled at Ethan and said.

You see, doing something like this is no longer a problem for me, I am strong now.
