The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 15

Draven sighed and stood up. Her wary gaze continued to follow his body as he walked towards a certain statue. It was the statue where a snowy white owl perched on it.

“What do you think? Shall we let her be or shall we take her back?”

The owl tilted his fluffy head, blinking his big eyes in the direction of the human girl as if sizing her up, and let out a hoot in response.

Draven looked at the girl who was still on the ground. “He decided for you. Don’t blame me.”

Before she could understand the meaning of his words, the human girl felt an invisible yet heavy force restrict her limbs, binding her entire body like a rope. She started to struggle and kick her legs about, only to realize she could not feel the ground under her. She was floating helplessly in midair.

“Ahhh—mmf!”

Her startled scream was cut off midway. Obviously, he used his power to shut her mouth. Fear and anger could be seen in her eyes as she tried to break away from the binding made of his powers.

“Since you refuse to speak, I am giving you an excuse to not speak.” As if he did nothing wrong, Draven looked at his owl. “Is this enough punishment?”

The owl looked at the human girl floating in the air and made a hoot that sounded like an approval.

Draven didn’t even look at her again as he walked back towards the palace at a leisurely pace, with the strange sight of a human girl floating in the air behind him. She looked pitiful, squirming as she tried to protest to her captor, but not only was she not able to break whatever was restraining her, the man who caught her seemed to have forgotten her existence.

After accepting that resistance was futile, she sadly resigned to her fate.

Not long after, she found herself carelessly dropped on top of her bed. They were back inside the palace, inside the guest room temporarily given to her.

Only then did Draven release her from his powers.

Without looking back at her glaring form, he stepped out of the room and used his powers to wake up the two elf servants lying unconscious on the floor.
