Chapter 99

99 | just want to play for a while After getting the information she wanted Maya told her brother.

_I'll be away for a few days.

_ Where are you going? _Over there.

_Maya, where are you going? Barto asked him with a serious face.

_I just want to take a little trip and see new places.

_ How many days will you be away? _| don't know yet.

_ Are you going alone? Or are you going with that little prince who has been hanging around you? _Does that

matter? _Maya, I've never interfered in your relationships, but | don't think it's a good idea for you to get

involved with that prince.

_I'll just play for a while, don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

_l guess it doesn't matter what I say, you won't listen to me.

_Not really.

Maya gave her brother a kiss on the cheek and said.

_I'll be back soon, don't worry about me.

As Maya left, he said.

_Be careful Maya.

_l always have him as a little brother.

Maya went hto collect her things, then returned to the inn where Cassian was, he was at the entrance when

she arrived and told him.

_I thought you weren't coming back.

_I was distracted listening to a very interesting conversation, the elf returned to the guild.

_ What were they talking about? _They were talking about the person | was looking for, this t| was lucky and

| was able to get a few things out of my brother, | discovered that the elf is looking for a princess.

When Cassian heard that, the first thing he thought was that perhaps that princess was April's mother.

It seemed that Maya had cto the sconclusion and told him.

_Maybe she is your friend's mother and that's why she has the light magic.

_Yes, maybe it is her.

_Well, now let's go, I'm looking forward to meeting that special princess.

_My horse is near here, let's go.

As they walked Maya asked.

_ Will we travel on horseback? _Only certain sections, then we will use teleportation scrolls, | must let my horse

rest.

_ And why didn't you just use scrolls? That way the trip would be faster.

_But it is also more exhausting.

_Not for me.

_I don't think you're a normal person.

_Maybe it isn't.

Arriving at the stables where Cassian had left his horse, he gave a silver coin to the caretaker, after he gave it to

him he stroked his horse's back and said.

_I'll introduce him to you, this is my imperion horse.

Cassian's horse was completely white, when his injury had healed he had sent someone to pick him up, when he

had suffered the injury to his leg he had been unable to ride it, but now that he was well again he did not want to

use another horse since that one had been given to him by his father.

when he was old enough to ride a horse.

Maya thought it was beautiful, she stroked the horse's nose and said to him.

_It's a beautiful horse.

_Yes itis.

Cassian climbed onto his horse, extended his hand to Maya and said.

_We're leaving.

She took his hand and answered.

_Of course.

It took them a day to reach the city of Zather, all the way Maya had complained about how tiring it was to travel

that way since she had only traveled using magic scrolls.

Upon reaching Duchess Mollin's mansion Maya was grateful to be able to get off the back of that horse, her legs

were numb, Cassian had to hold her so she wouldn't fall, she leaned on his chest and said to him.

_I don't think I'll travel like that again, it's horrible.

_ Can you walk? Or do you wantto carry you? _jJust givea few minutes for my legs to recover.

_Take all the tyou want.

The sun was setting, an orange light bathed the mansion, Maya stared at how beautiful that mansion was and

said.

_ Is this your house? _No, this is a noble's mansion, | was supposed to meet my brother here.

_ Have you already decided what you're going to tell him? _Not yet.

Maya put her arms around Cassian's neck and said.

_The offer to be your lover is still standing, if you can't think of anything you can tell her that.

April suddenly appeared, Cassian, upon seeing her, moved away from Maya.

_Hi Aby, I'm back.

_When | heard you were back | cright away.

April stared at the young woman who had only moments ago been in Cassian's arms and asked.

_ Who is your friend? _She is Maya.

Maya approached April, took her hand and said.

_It's a pleasure to meet you, Cassian has tolda lot about you, | hope we can be good friends.

April had never had a friend, she replied with a smile.

_I'would love that.

_Aby, and my brother? _He said he would be away for a few days, he hasn't returned yet.

_I see.

_You must be tired from the trip, let's go inside.

April said as she walked back to the house.

Cassian took Maya's arm, letting April take a few steps ahead of them and said to Maya in a low voice.

_Don't mention anything to April about the elves.

_ She doesn't know yet? _No, my brother said he would tell him at the right time, so be careful what you say.

_Okay, | won't say anything, but | think she deserves to know about her roots.

_I know, but it's not up toto tell you.

April, seeing that they were not following her, turned around and said to them.

"Don't stay behind," Cassian replied.

_Now let's go.

Upon entering the house the duchess greeted them.

_Hello Prince Cassian, it is an honor to have you in my mansion.

_Thank you for your hospitality, Duchess.

_You must be tired after the trip, I'll ask them to prepare a room for you.

_Thank you.

_Dinner will be served soon, you must be hungry.

_Yeah.

Maya replied.

_I'm starving.

Everyone headed to the dining room, the children were already sitting each in their place, Maya, seeing them,

realized that those children, although they were wearing elegant clothes, were not nobles, she wondered what

those two children were doing there.

Otis stared at Maya, his attention was drawn to her red eyes and he couldn't help but ask.

_ Why are your eyes red? Maya smiled and replied.

_They were a gift from a fairy, so we can see better and discover the truth.

The two excited children asked.

_ Do fairies exist? _Of course.

Cassian stared at Maya, wondering if what she had told the children was true or just a lie.

Forest of Lore 100 After dinner April took the children, a maid guided Maya and Cassian to their rooms, the room

they had been given was next door.

Before entering her room Maya said goodbye to Cassian.

_Good night, little prince, see you tomorrow.

Before Maya closed the door, Cassian told him.

_Hang on a minute.

_You've thought better of it and you want us to share a room.

The maid who was still there stared at them and then left, Cassian told him.

_Don't say things that could be misunderstood.

_ So what's going on? _What you told the kids a while ago about your eyes, is it true? _Are you curious to know?

_The truth is that yes, you say that golden eyes are rare to see, but in reality | had never seen someone with red

eyes.

_l guess it's not a very common color either.

_ So what you said is true? Your eyes were a gift from a fairy? _Maybe there is struth in what | said, but well,

now I'm tired and I'll go to rest.

Another day | will satisfy your curiosity about me.

Maya entered the room and closed the door leaving Cassian more curious than before.

The next day Maya got up very early as she usually did every day, she went out to the balcony, she wanted to

feel the first rays of the sun caressing her skin, while she enjoyed the warm morning she looked at Cassian, he

was running through the garden, he looked very active.

She decided to go to where he was, she crossed his path and asked him.

_ What are you running away from? _I'm not running away from anything.

_ Then why do you run like you're doing it? _I'm just getting in shape.

Cassian was drenched in sweat, he wiped the sweat from his face with his shirt leaving his belly exposed, Maya

looked at him and said.

_You already have a good body, | don't think you need it.

_I'm not referring to that, until very recently | had an injury in my leg, | couldn't stand for long and running was

Something was out of my reach, | couldn't even walk fast without falling, but now that that's no longer a problem

| want to do everything | couldn't do before.

_The princess healed you with her magic.

Cassian squeezed his leg remembering the pain he had felt for several years, the helplessness of having to drag

his leg when walking and answered.

_That's right, thanks to her | have regained my life, | have returned to being the man | was before my injury.

_I'm glad it is so, especially because I really like this version of yours.

Cassian blushed, Maya approached him and said.

_Your face has turned red, don't tellyou're embarrassed.

_You don't cut even a bit, do you? _No, | always say what | think.

Maya moved even closer to Cassian, he stepped away and said to her.

_Breakfast will be soon, | better go take a bath, I'll see you later.

Maya stayed a while longer appreciating that beautiful garden, then she returned to the mansion, she found April

with the children, they were heading to the dining room.

_Good morning Maya, did you sleep well? _Yes, thank you very much for asking.

_Now we were going to have breakfast, are you joining us? _Of course.

As they headed to the dining room, April asked him.

_ Have you known Cassian for long? _No, I've actually only known him for a short time.

Cassian appeared behind them and asked.

_ What are they talking about? _How they met.

April answered.

Cassian looked at Maya, wondering how much she had told April.

_I told him that we only met recently.

Maya replied as she placed her hand on his arm as if telling him.

Don't worry, | didn't say anything.

*#+* Alessandro had gotten up very early and met with his guards, one of them asked him.

_ What shall we do now, your majesty? They had been going to the Lore Forest because for a few months now,

people had been disappearing in nearby towns and all the clues pointed to one place, the Lore Forest, however,

they still hadn't found anything, that forest was huge so it was costing them a lot to find something that would

tell them what was going on in that forest.

_ We will return to the forest, | know that the answers | am looking for are there, so prepare everything, we will

leave as soon as possible.

_Yes, your majesty.

After they prepared everything, they left for the Lore forest, that day at the entrance of the forest they saw a

trail of blood, they followed it to the depths of that forest, the trail of blood led to a cave, Alessandro used his

wind magic to know the depth of that cave and what was in that place.

He could feel the presence of a strange creature inside the cave, Alessandro did not know what exactly was in

that cave, the only thing he knew is that that presence was not from anything known.

Alessandro drew his sword and asked the guards to light storches to illuminate the interior of that cave that

seemed to be plunged into a darkness as thick as ink, a darkness that was unnatural.

Alessandro took one of the torches that one of the guards had and said to them.

_Don't leavealone, there's something strange in that cave.

The guards followed the king, upon entering the cave everyone felt a chill run through their bodies, the cave was

shallow, they quickly reached the bottom and there was something moving in the darkness, Alessandro got a

little closer and when he saw what it was he was stunned, it was the screature that had attacked April a few

days ago.
