# Chapter 184: A Queen's Promise
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 184 of "Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down" — a chapter where tension crackles like lightning, where a queen plays her final desperate card, and where April stands unshakable in the face of threats that would make anyone else tremble. So settle in, because this chapter is packed with bold promises, stubborn loyalty, and the quiet rage of a woman who refuses to bow.

The queen was livid. Her heart was a storm of fury and fear, because Maya — the descendant she had only just recovered, the young woman whose face mirrored the daughter she had lost long ago — was slipping through her fingers once again. The queen had already lost too much. She would not lose Maya too. And so, with nothing else left in her arsenal, she played the last card she had.
She threatened April. If April refused to help, the queen would reveal her existence to the world. She would personally make sure everyone knew who and what April truly was. And once that happened, the queen promised, April would never again live peacefully among humans.
April answered without a flicker of hesitation, without a single tremor of fear.
"Do it. I don't care."
The queen was not expecting that. She tried another angle, striking where she thought April was weakest. "Don't you love your human husband? Don't you care about being separated from him?"
But April's answer was steel wrapped in calm. Of course she did not want to be separated from the man she loved. But she had no intention of letting anyone — or anything — tear them apart. Not even a queen. Not even a war. "I do not care if that leads me to war," she said.
The queen called her a fool. Perhaps it was foolish to defy a queen in her own throne room. But April had something far more dangerous than wisdom: she had conviction, and she had demands.
The bargaining began. April stated her terms plainly: Maya's freedom, or her help. There was no middle ground. And the queen, running out of time, felt her magic draining like sand through an hourglass. The war against April's sister could not be delayed forever. She had no more cards to play.
So the queen yielded, but not without her own conditions. She agreed to free Maya — but only if it was truly what Maya wanted, and only after the war was won. April demanded Maya be freed before the battle. The queen refused. How could she trust that April would keep her word?
"You always keep your promises?" April challenged.
"I always keep what I promise," the queen answered. "But unlike you, I cannot lie. If I say I will keep my word, I will. But I cannot say the same for you. So we'll do it my way."
April exchanged a glance with Cassian and with Maya. Both gave a small, trusting nod. And so the pact was sealed: they would help the queen, and in exchange, Maya would be free after the war — as long as that was what she truly wanted.
But the queen had another demand. She did not want the prince in her kingdom. He had brought a key with him, and she insisted he was a danger to everyone. He had to leave.
"No. He stays."
The queen warned her. "I hope you do not regret your decision." Then she turned and walked away, but not before leaving April with her first task: report to the armory and bless the weapons. Every last one of them.
April approached Maya, who was still on the ground, exhausted and pale. She knelt down and asked if she was okay. Maya smiled weakly, insisting she was fine, but Cassian held her close, his voice trembling with a love so fierce it was almost painful.
"Don't try against your life again," he pleaded.
Maya placed her hand over his and whispered, "I'm sorry. I didn't think very well about what I was doing."
Cassian's voice broke with raw emotion. "Maya, I love you. Even if we couldn't be together, I could bear it if I knew you were okay. But a world without you — that, I couldn't bear. Your life and mine are one. So next time, think very carefully."
It was a moment of tenderness and sorrow, but duty was calling. Fay approached and told April they had to go to the armory. Maya needed rest. Cassian protested, worried about April going alone, but Fay's resolve was unyielding — the queen had given her order, and there was no room for delay.
April reassured Cassian. She was full of energy. She didn't want him to worry. He should take care of Maya, and she would find them when it was all over.
Cassian still hesitated, remembering his promise to his brother. But Ethan stepped in, promising that April would not go alone — she would have them by her side. Cassian had no choice but to trust them, though his eyes were full of caution. He left April in their hands, and as Fay, Ethan, and Dantriel walked ahead, Cassian watched them go with a heavy heart.
Narim approached and told Cassian that Maya truly needed rest. The queen's words, spoken with such force, affected not only the body but the soul itself. And the firmer the command, the deeper the wound it left behind. Maya was barely conscious now. Cassian lifted her into his arms and asked Narim to show him the way.
Meanwhile, Fay led April to a long, tall building beside the palace. When the doors swung open, April stood astonished. Weapons. Thousands upon thousands of weapons, gleaming in the dim light, lined the walls and filled the room like an iron forest. The sheer scale of it was breathtaking.
Ethan asked April if she really could bless them all with her magic. Blessing a weapon was heavy and tiring, he warned — it required infusing a huge amount of magic. Doing it for so many weapons could be dangerous, exhausting, even fatal.
April simply smiled. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Since she had broken the last seal holding back her magic, her power seemed to have no end. She stepped to the center of the room, closed her eyes, and let her magic pour out of her like a river breaking through a dam. The weapons began to glow, one after another, as if waking from a long sleep. She blessed each one with a calm, steady flow of power — no strain, no exhaustion, nothing but pure dominance over her own strength.
Unlike that first time when she had blessed Alessandro's armor and felt drained, this time she stood tall, untouched by fatigue. She turned to Ethan and smiled, a spark of pride in her eyes.
"You see? Doing something like this is no longer a problem for me. I am strong now."
And in that moment, in a hall of blessed weapons gleaming with her power, April looked less like a woman running from danger — and more like a queen preparing for war.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter was absolutely gripping! The confrontation between April and the queen was a masterpiece of tension and negotiation — two powerful women circling each other, each refusing to break. I loved April's quiet defiance and unshakable confidence. She didn't beg, she didn't waver; she simply stated her terms and walked forward. Maya's emotional moment with Cassian also tugged at my heart — the vulnerability, the love, the fear of a world without someone you can't imagine living without. And watching April bless that endless array of weapons without even breaking a sweat? That was a power move that sent chills down my spine. This story keeps building and building, and I am completely hooked.
⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
April's power is now revealed in full, but the queen's warning still lingers like a shadow. I predict the next chapter will plunge us into the preparation for war — perhaps the first skirmish against April's sister, or maybe a calculated betrayal from within the elven court. Cassian's protective promise to his brother, the mysterious key, Maya's fragile condition, and the queen's far-from-stable trust in April all point to a storm about to break. Someone is going to betray someone, and I suspect April will find herself facing not just an enemy army — but a knife in the dark.
