The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 171

Ember was excitedly running towards the slope where Morpheus was waiting for her. She was happy that she could go outside today instead of just staying inside the palace. Now that she’d thought of it, ever since she returned from Ronan after being given citizenship by the council, she hadn’t been able to step outside again.

She stood in front of the winged man with bright eyes. “Are we going to leave now? Where are we going?”

Morpheus stared at her for a moment, both amused and bothered to see how much she trusted him. She didn’t even think twice before saying yes to going out with him.

‘Is she so naive to trust any person who showed goodwill to her? Though she knows me, why does she trust me this much? Is it because I called her my friend? Is being a friend that special to her?’

“Morph?” she called him, seeing him not answering her. She was completely oblivious of why he’s approaching her in the first place.

“Oh, you’re here?” he reacted as if he just noticed her. He heard her laugh. “You spaced out. So, where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise for you,” he replied with a lopsided grin.

“If you say so, umm… we aren’t going to walk, right?” she asked, pretending nonchalance, but inside she was excited to be carried by him so she could fly in the sky once more.

“How do you wish to go?” Do you want me to borrow Lusca from Leeora?” he asked, but of course, he didn’t mean it. He just wanted to tease her and check her reaction. He could clearly see what she wanted. Those innocent and beautiful eyes of hers could not hide what was in her mind.

She cleared her throat awkwardly, before offering him a gaze full of expectations. “Can’t we just… fly?”

“Do you want to fly with me?” he asked.

She nodded immediately. “Yes! Uhm, only if you’re fine with the idea…Can we fly like last time?”

He chuckled at her shy expression. “Of course! We will do whatever you want,” he assured, and the next moment, she saw his majestic wings opening to their fullest. _{freёwebnovel.com}

She could not help but be excited like a little girl, smiling happily upon seeing him playfully flap his wings. She even reached out to catch one of the soft feathers that fell from his wings.

‘Such a kid!’ he thought as he smiled. “Shall we?”

She bravely stepped towards him. “Shall I hold onto you?”

“Yes, like last time.” He nodded and pulled her closer with his hand at her waist. She didn’t hesitate and let him carry her in his strong arms. She tightly circled her arms around his neck in fear of falling down once they’re up in the air, though deep in her heart, she knew that would never happen with him.

Ember let out a happy squeal the moment they were up in the air. WIth each flap of his wings, Morpheus flew higher and higher until they’re above the palace walls. He then headed towards the southern side of the mountain range surrounding the kingdom.

Feeling the cool air brushing against her face, Ember slowly opened her eyes to look around. She was thrilled but also scared to look down to check how high they were flying.

‘So high!’
