The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 123

Ember stood up and the two led her way towards the door. Reya opened the door and they were welcomed by the pleasant breeze that caused their hair and skirts to flutter behind them.

“A balcony!”

Ember stepped forward and let her eyes roam around the huge balcony attached to the study. There was a small table with a single ornate chair on the side. She could not help but beam in delight as she walked ahead.

From her position, it felt as if she was overlooking the entire kingdom. The fresh breeze felt so pleasant against her skin, and she didn’t feel like she needed to go to the garden. Her long brown hair danced along the direction of the breeze as her curious eyes appreciated the sight before her.

“This is beautiful,” Ember said and then realized she felt a little cold.

“I will get a warm coat for you,” Reya said and left in a hurry.

“I will arrange freshly-brewed tea, Miss. I shall excuse myself.” Clio left as well.

Just as Ember was about to head towards the railing of that huge balcony, she felt a presence approach her from above. Large wings blocked the sunlight for a moment before folding behind a certain person the moment he landed at the railing.

“Hey, little fe–”

His words were stuck in his throat as the wind blew, and a certain sweet scent messed with his senses. He almost stopped breathing.

“Morph!” Ember let out a bright smile at the sight of the handsome winged warrior, unaware that the man himself was frozen stiff from shock.

“Stop…stop there…” he forced those words out as he put his hand forward.

Ember felt puzzled but she still listened to him and stayed in place.

‘Her scent…’ Morph tried to not get affected by it, but he was failing. ‘…it’s so intoxicating…so different and so…’ He shook his head. ‘No, what am I thinking?’ His heart was almost jumping out of his ribcage and he felt like he would fall into temptation if he were to stay even a minute longer.

“Morph, what happened? Is something wrong?” she asked, seeing him cover his face with his hands. He didn’t act like his usual smiling self.

“Ember, I am sorry, but I have to go. I will see you soon,” was all he said before he fled away without even waiting for her reply.

‘What happened to him?’ she wondered, but then, her attention was pulled by her servant’s arrival.

“Miss, were you talking to someone? I think I heard a voice…” Reya asked, her pointed ears twitching, as she put the warm coat over her shoulders.

Ember was about to answer when Clio timely brought freshly-brewed tea in a tray and asked the other elf to help her arrange it on the table. This caused Reya to forget the question she asked.

The two thought Ember was just being humble and just smiled. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
