The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 102

For the rest of the day, Ember had nothing to do. Though Yula recommended her to rest due to her weak condition, she merely tossed and turned in bed. She tried to rest but the excitement of being in a new place could not let her do so.

Thus, she roamed inside her bedchamber.

‘Are all these sparkly stones on the surface real jewels? They look so delicate like colourful glass.’

‘This large antique statue has weird engravings on it. I wonder if it’s the same language as that book…’

‘These curtains feel so heavenly to touch… What kind of fabric is this?’

‘So the view outside this window overlooks the Forest of the Elves. I wonder if I can see the city from here…’

She was only interrupted from her wandering when she heard someone knock and realized it was already nighttime. After dinner, Yula came by again to check on her before having the servants help wash her so she could retire for the night.

However, her body refused to listen and she could still not sleep.

‘I give up.’

While pulling her blanket along with her, Ember climbed down from the bed and went towards the large window nearest to it. She opened the glass panels to allow the cold breeze to enter the chamber. After taking in several deep breaths, she heaved herself up the window.

‘This is more comfortable.’

The huge windows of her chamber had a wide sill similar to a platform at the base where one could put flower vases or ornamental pots. Since they were currently empty, a person of her size could sit comfortably on the window sill.

Satisfied, she wrapped herself in her thick blanket and sat with her back resting on the window frame.

‘I wonder how I should live my life from now on.’

She no longer had to live her life alone in hiding, and she was under the protection of the King of this kingdom so there was nothing for her to be worried about.

‘Tomorrow, shall I look around the palace, maybe that huge garden as well? I am sure it will take me more than a day to explore this beautiful palace. Later on, I can go around the kingdom and see other cities. In Valor, Gaia doesn’t let me leave the forest, and I was not allowed to enter the villages around the mountain. I wonder if the other cities are as lively as Ronan.

‘Once my body becomes normal, first, I must go to Ronan to visit the Elder. Afterwards, I can also visit Lady Cornelia and thank her for her potions. After that… can I go to the other territories? Elder Leeora said the most magical-looking place is the land of the fairies. Maybe I can ask Morpheus to show the other parts of this kingdom from the sky…’

As she enjoyed the fresh night air, she continued to work on her long ‘to do’ list, and unknown to her, her eyes began to feel heavy until she gradually dozed off while sitting at the window.

That innocent happy smile didn’t leave her lips even when she was sleeping.

Draven had just come out of his bath and was about to retire for the night, but he heard the loud hoot of Midnight just as he was about to get in bed.

Frown lines appeared on his forehead. ‘That thing! So careless!’ _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Annoyed, he disappeared from his bed-chamber and appeared inside a certain chamber on the southwest wing of the palace.
