The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 182

Ember looked at Ray through the corner of her eyes. “What’s gotten into you today? You always run away from me, if not flatout ignore me. Why are you sitting on my shoulder now? Hmm? Hmm?”

The bird chirped a few times and before speaking adorably, “Servants bring food…No tree nearby, master.”

Ember understood the second line but not the first one. She gently poked the bird with a finger. “You mean, you are treating my shoulder as a tree branch? You selfish little bird. And what food? Did I not give you enough before I left my chamber?”

“Master eats a lot…Pet eats too…”

Ember felt shocked. “You mean I eat a lot? Have you been checking on how much I eat? You just wait…I will—”

The bird dodged her poking finger before circling over her head.

“Come back here, you naughty little bird!”

“Master eats a lot!” _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

“You—”

After flying some more, Ember watched the bird land on Clio’s shoulder, who was bringing snacks and tea for Ember along with Reya. Ember saw the delicious snacks on the tray. ‘So that’s why this bird is here! It came to eat! How dare it say I eat a lot?’

“Miss Ember!” Reya hurried to her side. “How are you feeling? I heard from the other servants you fainted?”

“What? I did not faint. I just got exhausted, that’s all.”

Reya was able to let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I will smack those girls who exaggerated their stories. Hmph! You didn’t know, Miss, but we were so worried that we brought more snacks than usual to help you recover.”

“I made good progress on my lesson today, so it’s good you brought more snacks,” Ember replied but her gaze was still fixed at the bird who didn’t pay her any attention. Its beady eyes were staring at the food tray.

The elf continued, “After practicing magic, you must be feeling really hungry.”

Rather than staying in the training grounds, Ember led them towards the nearest garden gazebo. Reya and Clio served tea and snacks for Ember. The little bird also hopped down the table, seemingly also ready to eat.

It chirped and did a silly dance. “Food!”
