Chapter Three-Hundred-and-Thirty-Two
3rd Person POV
Caephas was very surprised by how things had turned out. He had been banished from Mount Shasta. He could not believe that the Fae Queen would do that. He was the one who banished beings from the sky and not the other way around.
He turned to Aurora who still stood shell-shocked by the door.
“You do not look well,” Caephas commented.
“The Queen, I will get her to change her verdict, my lord,” she said, her teeth chattering as she spoke.
“Is everything alright on Mount Shasta?” asked Caephas. He was worried. He had known the previous Fae Queen and although she always stood her ground, she had never banished him from Fae land.
Aurora thought about the question for a while. She did not know whether it would be right to tell Caephas about Regina's suspicion that the Fae Queen had regained her memories from her previous life. Would Caephas even believe her? And if he did was that the end for Queen Euphrates? It would take Hades and Caephas corporation to destroy a being as powerful as the Fae Queen.
“Seeing as I have not been cast out of Mount Shasta, you must have your concerns,” said Caephas. Beings as powerful as Caephas could not just be banished except Aurora supported her Queen's decision. It was a way to maintain the balance of power.
“You must leave. She must not meet you here,” Aurora said, she did not want her queen to know that she had disagreed with her on this. She needed to keep a nonchalant disposition so that Queen Euphrates would not suspect that she was gathering evidence that would destroy her.
“May I ask a favour?” inquired Caephas.
“What do you want?”
“I need a portal to access the earth, Mount Shasta is the only available portal and I have been banished by your Queen,” Caephas was still hoping that there was a way he could communicate with Irvette directly without the Fae Queen as an intermediary.
“My Queen would be furious,” said Aurora.
“But it is not impossible?”
“My Lord, you rule the skies, you can access the earth directly,” said Aurora.
“If it were that easy I would have done it,” said Caephas.
“The Dragon King, you can ask the Dragon King for help,” suggested Aurora.
“Thank you,” said Caephas.
He was gone after that.
Aurora decided to go to the Queen's study to ask Euphrates why she had done what she had done but just before she got there she was stopped by Lila, a palace maid.
“What is the problem, Lila?”
“She's in there with someone,” she whispered, her wings fluttering with anxiety.
“Are you sure? Who is it?” Aurora asked, she tried not to sound worried so that Lila would not be agitated.
“They are,” Lila paused, “you know, the two of them are,” she paused again, “you should know that they…”
“They are intimate,” Aurora finished the sentence for Lila.
“Yes, yes and it's pretty rough there, the noise and… it's intense,” Lila looked as though she had been scandalised. Aurora could not help but laugh.
“You do know the Queen has desires, huh? Our previous Queen was married to Hades and gave birth to the current Hades,” said Aurora in a lighthearted tone.
“So, no worries?”
“No worries.”
Although Aurora had assured Lila that there was nothing to worry about, she was very worried herself. She had not known of the Fae Queen having a lover. At the very least, she ought to know about this. Besides, the timing did not seem right. She had just banished the Lord of the Sky and she was in the arms of a lover?
Aurora knocked on the door, then pressed her ear to the door. The sounds she heard from the study made her take a step back. She would just have to come back.
Meanwhile, Euphrates’ body was shaking from the throes of another orgasm. The last time she had felt this alive was the last time she had been intimate with Dagen. She could not decide who the better lover was—Dagen or Carlos.
“I have somewhere I need to be,” said Carlos as he kissed her ear. She watched him put on his clothes and she followed in doing the same.
“You have to lift the ban on Caephas,” Carlos said in a serious tone.
“You want me to take back my words? Impossible!”
“Do you know what happens to beings like us that remember our previous lives?” asked Carlos. Euphrates was not aware but his tone scared her.
“We are banished to a thousand years of punishment in hell, then our souls are destroyed completely. Do you know what that means? We can never be reincarnated, our soul is destroyed to the point that it is as though we never existed,” Carlos’ tone was so harsh to communicate how severe this was.
“Don't tell me you've slipped already?” asked Carlos as he sighted the look of horror on Euphrates' face.
“No, no, I can fix it. I will lift the ban on Caephas,” she said.
“Encourage him to marry that earth lady he likes,” added Carlos. Euphrates' brows were matted in confusion.
“Why?”
“The sky forbids such a relationship, he would have to resign from his position as the Lord of the Sky and when that happens, the throne in the sky will be vacant,” explained Carlos.
“And you will have your chance,” completed Euphrates. It sounded easy enough, too easy.
“I will visit you another time,” said Carlos before kissing her lips.
“And if I need you?” she asked.
“It's too dangerous, I will be the one to visit,” said Carlos.
She wanted to protest this arrangement but Carlos shut her up with a kiss. She pulled him close to her and her hands reached for the buttons of his shirt. Carlos' hands stopped her hand from doing more, he had never met a woman who was insatiable.
“I will see you later,” he said and disappeared from sight.
With Carlos gone, she accessed the mess they had made.
