# Chapter 187: Back to the Land of Fairies
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 187 of "Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down" — a chapter where farewells are forced, tears are barely held back, and a journey into the unknown begins. Let's dive right in.
The morning had barely settled when Maya heard a knock on her door. Her heart jumped, thinking Cassian had forgotten something and returned. Without changing, she simply wrapped herself in a robe and opened the door — only to freeze. It wasn't Cassian. It was Fay.
Her face must have betrayed her shock, because Fay's eyes narrowed and swept past her, taking in the messy bed, the disheveled sheets, and Maya's loose robe. The meaning was unmistakable.
"Are you still with your human lover?" Fay's voice was cold, but not mocking. It was something heavier — disappointment, maybe even fear.
"That's none of your business," Maya shot back, pulling the robe tighter.
"You shouldn't be with him, Maya. That will only make things more difficult."
"That's my problem, not yours."
Fay clearly didn't want to start a fight. She took a breath and changed the subject. "Yesterday I received a message from the queen. We have been ordered to return. Prepare your things. We leave today."
Maya felt the ground fall away beneath her. "What?! But what about the alliance?"
"I have already demanded an answer by today."
"Why so soon?"
"Maya, I can no longer wait to receive help that we may never receive." Fay turned, her voice growing quieter, more bitter. "We must return, regardless of the future that awaits us."
Maya couldn't accept this. Frustration twisted her chest. "What do you mean by that?"
Fay didn't give her a soft answer. "Prepare your things. We will leave as soon as possible."
"Wait, Fay — could you give me a little more time?"
"I'm sorry, Maya, but you've had enough time. I can't give you any more."
Fay began to walk away, and desperation made Maya's voice sharp. "What if I refuse to go with you?"
Fay stopped. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder, and her eyes were no longer warm. "I do not advise you to do that. If you refuse to return, the queen will send more soldiers to look for you. And I assure you — they will not be as kind as I am."
The door slammed. Maya stood trembling, rage and sorrow mixing inside her like poison. She hated this. She hated being dragged back to a land she never truly called home. The alliance with the humans might have been accepted by Cassian, Alessandro, and Abril — but she knew better. She had blood ties with the queen. No deal would ever make that monster let her go.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn't do what she wanted. She couldn't stay with the man she loved. She couldn't escape the chains of her own bloodline.
"I hate this. I hate it."
After crying until her throat ached, she stood up. She pulled out her fairy clothes from the depths of the closet. When she changed and looked at herself in the mirror, it felt strange. The fabric was lighter, softer, more comfortable than anything human-made. But she had stopped wearing these clothes long ago, because they reminded her of who she was — and the chains that tied her to the land of fairies.
She gathered her things and went to find Cassian. She found him in one of the palace corridors. When he saw her dressed in the clothes of the fairies, he understood everything before she even spoke. Her face carried a shadow of sadness, and he stepped closer to her.
"I see that you are ready to go."
"Did you know?"
"Fay told me this morning."
Maya pressed her lips together, fighting back the tears. Cassian reached up and placed his hand on her cheek. It was a soft, sweet caress, and the warmth of it was the only comfort she had left.
"Maya, why that face? It's not like we're going to separate. I'm going with you too — and this time, I'll bring you back with me."
She wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe with all her heart that those words would come true. But she couldn't lie, so she said nothing. She simply hugged him, wishing with all her might that he was right.
Cassian pulled back gently and said, "I have to go prepare my things. Will you join me?"
"Of course."
She followed him to his room and watched as he packed a bag with a change of clothes and weapons blessed with light magic. Her mind drifted, and she asked, "Will April also come with us?"
"Yes, she is also getting ready to leave."
"Is she okay?"
"Don't worry, she is fine."
When Cassian finished packing, he extended his hand to Maya. "Come on, let's not keep that annoying fairy waiting."
A smile almost escaped her lips. "Yes. By the way, do you know where it is?"
"I have a slight idea of where it may be. Let's go."
They headed toward where the elves were gathered. Fay was already there, meeting with Ethan and Dantriel. It seemed that in the end, the elves had also accepted the alliance with the fairies. Maya looked around and said, "I guess only April is missing."
At that moment, April appeared from behind them. "I'm already here. I've seen you all pass by, so I followed you. We can leave whenever you want."
Dantriel spoke in his calm, measured voice. "The trip to the land of the fairies will be long and tiring. Are you okay?"
Fay answered for herself. "Yes, I'm perfectly fine." Then she added, "Actually, that's not the case. We can get there in a faster way. Follow me."
They followed her to the garden, until they reached a large, ancient tree. Fay placed her hand on its trunk, and the bark began to glow with a soft, radiant light. The entrance unfolded before them.
"This entrance will take us directly to the land of the fairies. We just have to go through it."
Maya stared into the glowing passage. Her heart pounded. The road back to the land of fairies was not just a road of distance; it was a road toward the queen, toward her past, toward everything she had tried to escape. But Cassian was by her side. April was with her. And together, they stepped forward into the unknown.

### Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a beautiful and emotional turning point. Maya's vulnerability is painful to witness — she is strong, but she's also trapped by her bloodline and the unavoidable pull of her homeland. Fay's cold, unyielding attitude adds pressure, but her warning shows she genuinely cares, making her a layered character. Cassian's gentle reassurance gives readers hope, even while Maya's doubt foreshadows danger. The imagery — the fairy clothes, the glowing tree portal — is vivid and evocative. It's a bittersweet chapter, full of tension and looming conflict.
⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
### Next Chapter Prediction
The group will step through the portal and enter the land of fairies — but not peacefully. The queen will likely be waiting with a cold welcome, and Maya's fears will become reality. Cassian and the others may find themselves hostages rather than allies. Meanwhile, Maya might have to face her past directly, and a painful choice between the man she loves and her duty to her people could tear her apart. Something dangerous is definitely coming.
