Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

93 I need your help When Cassian arrived in the city of Farell, the first thing he did was go directly to the information guild to look for Maya, but when he arrived she was not there.

Leo, seeing him enter the tavern, approached him and asked him.

_What are you doing here again? _I'm looking for Maya, do you know where she is? _No, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.

_Hey, I don't want any trouble, there's just something important I need to ask you.

_There are more people here who can help you with whatever you ask, but you're only looking for Maya, I don't think your intentions with her are good.

Cassian sighed heavily and said in his mind.

"The same thing again." Leo was giving him the same speech as the first time they had met, Cassian thought.

"I don't have time for this" Cassian was going to give Leo an excuse to get rid of him, but just then Barto the leader of the information guild approached them and said.

_Leo, if my sister finds out that you are bothering her clients, she will surely be upset.

_I just...

Maya suddenly appeared and said.

_Same thing again Leo.

_Maya this guy...

_I already know what you're going to say Leo and I don't care, just stop scaring my clients away or I'll start stealing yours.

Maya looked at Cassian and said.

_Here again.

Can we talk for a moment? _Of course, follow me.

Cassian followed Maya to Barto's office, as he entered she closed the door and said to him.

_We will be alone here, to what do I owe your visit? _I want to know more about the elves, I want to find them, _And what do you want me to do? _I want you to help me find them, _Hey, this is the information guild for a reason, we give out information, we don't find people and even less elves, I've already told you that it's not easy to find them.

_You said it's not easy, not that it's impossible.

_I have already given you all the information I have.

_You said that your brother and your father used to talk to them.

_When they come, which they don't usually do very often.

_But maybe they know how to find them.

_ And I sense that you want me to ask them? But I've already told you that we don't reveal our clients' information, my brother and my father won't tell me anything.

_The last time we saw each other you said you would help me.

_I said I would try.

_ And you have done it? _I tried and they told me to find something else to entertain myself, so I stopped asking about the elves.

_If I talk to your father or your brother, do you think they would tell me something? _I doubt it and if they find out that I told you about the elves they will be angry with me, so don't even think about doing it.

_I need to find them Maya.

_I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.

_There must be a way to find them, please help me.

Cassian looked at her with pleading eyes, Maya was a little weak with that, however, she couldn't do anything else for him, so she answered.

_ I really wish I could help you, but I can't.

Maya walked to the door and said.

_I'm really sorry, but I think your trip was in vain this time.

Maya walked out of the room, Cassian following her, she was standing staring at a tall, blond, golden-eyed man who had just entered the tavern.

Cassian said to her.

_Please, Maya...

Maya turned to see him and with a smile said.

_You're in luck.

_That? Maya pointed at the blond man who had just entered and said in a low voice.

_You see that man over there.

Cassian looked at the man Maya was pointing at, and there was something that caught his attention, that man had golden eyes just like April.

_ Who is that man? _I think that's what you're looking for.

_ Is it an elf? _Shut up, they'll hear us if you talk so loud.

_It really is a...

_Yeah.

_Are you sure? _Yes, that man has been coming to the information guild since I was a child.

Cassian walked towards where the man was, Maya stopped him and said.

_Where do you think you're going? _I need to talk to him.

_Wait, if you go now you'll only scare him away.

Maya dragged Cassian outside.

_Where are you taking me? _We'll wait for him to leave and then we'll follow him.

_What if he leaves through another door? _There is only one entrance to this tavern, it is to prevent undesirables from sneaking in, if he leaves he will do so through here.

As she left the tavern, Maya hid behind some barrels and said to Cassian.

_Come, we have to hide, we don't want to be discovered.

Cassian stood in front of the door, wondering whether or not he should do what Mayade was saying.

Seeing that Cassian was still standing in front of the door, he said to him.

_Hey, if you want to talk to that man this is the best way, otherwise he might end up running away.

Cassian walked over to Maya and said.

_Okay, I'll trust you.

_Well thought out.

While they waited Cassian asked him.

_How do you know that man is an elf? _Because of the color of his eyes.

_That? _They use magic to hide their real appearance, but they can't change the color of their eyes, even if they try, at least that's what my father told me one day.

But there are also people with that eye color.

Maya looked at him and said.

_Humans do not have golden eyes, if you have ever seen someone with golden eyes they are an elf or a descendant of one.

Cassian thought that Maya's eye color was also uncommon and asked.

_ Are you sure what you're saying? _Yes, very sure, by the way, you still haven't told me why you want to find an elf.

_There's something I need to ask you.

_I guess you won't tell me what you want to ask him.

_I'd like to tell you, but I can't.

_I already imagined it, although I am discreet, I will not tell anyone your secrets.

_I know, but it's not my secret.

_Okay, then I won't insist that you tell me.

_Do you think it will take long to come out? _I don't think so, whenever an elf comes they stay for a short time, they only ask what they want to know and then they leave, they are not like you.

_ What are you talking about? _You usually come to the guild very often and when you do, you stay for hours, everyone already knows you.

Cassian was about to say something, but Maya covered his mouth and said.

_He's already leaving, let's follow him, try to be quiet.

They followed them as they hid in the shadows until they reached the forest, but there they lost him, they came out from the shadows, Cassian asked.

_Where has he gone? _I don't know, I was walking very fast.

_I shouldn't have listened to you.

Cassian complained as he looked for her through the trees.

_Don't blame me, you lost sight of him.

_But if you had let me approach him in the tavern this wouldn't have happened.

_I'm sorry for stopping you from doing something stupid.

While the two were fighting, the man they were following came out of the shadows, lunged at Cassian and while placing a dagger to his neck he asked.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" Maya raised her hands high and said.

_Don't hurt us, we just want to talk.

That man, upon hearing Maya's voice, recognized her; she was Barto's sister, the daughter of Poel, the former head of the information guild.

_Are you Maya? _So you recognized me.

The man used his magic and little balls of light floated around them, illuminating their faces.

But he didn't remove his dagger from Cassian's neck, Maya told her.

_Could you let my friend go? _ Why were they following me? _My friend wanted to ask you something, could you please let him know? The man released Cassian, but he didn't put his dagger away, he had it in his hand ready in case they tried to attack him.

He asked Cassian.

_ Do you even know me? _Not really, I'll introduce myself, my name is Cassian.

_My name is Ethan and if I don't know you, you don't know me, what do you want from me?
