"This must be because it reigns; it has to do with the marriage between humans and fairies." Meanwhile, she wondered if this brand was related to the fairies and elves, since she had never entered into a marriage between them. "Are you sure of its meaning?" Kiara asked, her curiosity piqued. "That's what the fairy queen told me," Abril replied. "Do you believe it?" "They cannot lie, so I believe it was true.Read it." Lissana began to caress her little brother, and Abril continued, "Tell me, why did you betray Lissana to this place?" "Lissana has great power, too great for her small body. If she isn't ready to unleash all her power, it could be dangerous," Cassian explained, gently stroking Lissana's head. "This shouldn't be anything for you," he added. "It isn't," Abril said, her voice heavy with emotion. "Since I brought her to this place, I felt like my heart was breaking. But I still have to support her. Why would it hurt me more to lose her?There is nothing I wouldn't do to protect her, even until my last breath to keep her healthy!" Cassian understood perfectly how Abril felt, for he felt the same way about Maya. He would rather let her go than lose her completely, preferring to ensure she was well, even if it meant being apart from her. Afterward, they spent the entire day in the land of the fairies. Abril and Kiara went to the dwelling where they lived, unable to see Maya. Although Cassian wanted to keep her company, he insisted it wasn't necessary.Abril played with Lissana while Kiara remained absorbed, gazing into the distance as if searching for something. "Is there something wrong?" Abril asked. "No, nothing. It's just... I'm sorry. I'm worried. I'm here to listen, so if you want to talk, I'm all ears." "I have nothing to decide," Kiara replied, her voice distant. "I believe the interior must be one moment; it's hard to renounce." "I resigned first," Abril said softly. "I don't believe it's because I don't love you, but it's complicated. Your sister is in danger, and I thought I was the only one who could help her." "That's foolish.There were other ways, but you didn't want to listen to me." "Good luck, then. In the end, the fairies will decide." Abril could see the pain, anger, and disappointment reflected on Kiara's face. She had left him without letting him speak, not out of anger, but out of pain. She had to do it to protect her heart, for anything else would break it. "When I don't come out, you finish loading me with an unbearable weight that doesn't let me breathe," Kiara said, her voice trembling. "Break up, face it, don't run away." "It's easier to decide than to do it," Kiara replied."You're right, but I believe it's for the best. If not, you will live your whole life wondering how things could have been without the opportunity to talk." Kiara returned to her distance, meditating on what Abril had said. "I suppose you're right." The next day, the queen went to visit Maya. She looked frail, as if she were fading away. "Cassian tells me it's because he wanted to protect you," Abril said gently. "Protect me? I just didn't want to be trapped," Maya replied."I just wanted you to have a better life than..." Maya knew very well what Cassian meant and understood the reason the fairy queen was obsessed with her. The moment they had intertwined, she had taken on his pain, which had answered many questions and left a lasting mark on her heart. "Is that your daughter?" Maya asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Abril didn't respond, but it wasn't necessary. Maya continued, "Since you met me, you haven't stopped comparing me to her, seeing your daughter reflected in me.But I'm not your daughter." "You're making the same mistakes she made," Abril said, her voice firm. "Am I going to live with your partner, then?" Maya asked, her tone challenging. "Letting go of the one you love and living a long, lonely life regretting it every day is a mistake. I don't know if it was the same for your wife, but even knowing all that he would have to suffer, I would still return to spill my blood on this parchment of marriage. I would return to my heart with Cassian." "You don't know what you're saying," Abril replied, her eyes narrowing."I really hope you don't regret what you've done," Maya said defiantly. "Hello, go away. I regret nothing. Tell me with honesty, not with bitterness." "You're a fool," Abril said, shaking her head. "Yes, I may be a fool, but I'll be happy." The fairy queen turned halfway before opening the door and asked, "Maya, do you hate me?" "I hated that I didn't want to go. I hated being tied to the land of the fairies, but I don't hate you. Not now," Maya replied, her voice softening. She was the only one who spoke to the queen before leaving the dwelling.As she stepped outside, Cassian asked, "How long will you be happy locked up in that room?" "To start, it's closed. It's there for her recovery. She can leave when she feels ready. I would say that's enough; she shouldn't stay for too long, just until she feels well. Don't worry about anyone else's problems." He continued on his way, but before leaving, he turned back and said, "Go and rest properly. I believe that seeing you so unwell gives Maya peace of mind." After deciding that the queen had disappeared down the wide hallway, he entered the outer room where his advice was sought.noveldrama"How is she?" he asked. The queen sat on her throne, Misha serving her a glass of fruit wine. "Your Majesty has been through a lot during these times," Misha said. The fairy queen took a sip of the sweet wine he had served. "I know." "Your Majesty, the girl cannot be your successor. You should look for a new successor." "I know." "Do you have someone in mind?" "Um... maybe." "Would you tell me who it is?" "It's part of my lineage." "When do you think about it? There are many things you must teach your successor. I remember the power that comes from their lineage is sealed in each one."
