The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 183

Seeing their master suddenly go quiet, Reya and Clio looked at each other to figure out what happened to Ember.

“Miss, is something wrong?” Clio asked with concern.

Reya was troubled. “Apologies, Miss. Did I make you uncomfortable? I was being too loud and rude. I don’t mean to be a nuisance–“

Ember shook her head as her mind was still busy over what to do. Ember put the cup of tea back in the tray and looked at her servants.

“Do you two know if there is a way to resist the scent of your mate?” Ember decided to be honest.

The two ladies were taken aback by the surprising question.

“We are not sure about it as we are elves, Miss,” Reya answered.

Clio was thinking something else as she said, “I also have no idea if the other servants could help. Miss Ember, there are some working in the palace who have mates, and from what I heard, they love the scent of their mates. So why would one want to resist it? I don’t think anyone ever tried it. We are children of nature, thus we embrace the will of nature.”

Ember thought about what Clio said. “It is true that my mate’s scent is so good that even I don’t want to resist it but…”

“Right?” Reya interrupted her. “Do you feel the same, Miss? How does His Majesty smells like….Ouch?”

Clio patted Reya’s head to stop her. “Why do you want to know what His Majesty smells like? It’s a sensitive matter between mates.”

Reya looked apologetic, and said in a low voice, “I heard from other servants about how their males’ scents were like so…I was curious about His Majesty. None of those working in the palace had a divine beast as a partner, you know?”

Clio gave a warning stare as her older cousin was being nosy. “You better not.”

“His Majesty smells like the freshest green leaves of the forest,” Ember started, breathing deeply as she smiled at the memory of the addictive scent of her mate. “It reminds me of how much I wanted to immerse myself within the rich fragrance of the trees and the dense forest, the complete opposite from that deserted mountain where I grew up.”

Ember still had a faraway look on her face.

“It was the most precious wish of mine to be surrounded by trees that are full of life, but I never got to have that experience before coming here to Agartha. When I came here, only then did I get to see living trees up close for real. Oh, and when I was living inside my own tree house in Ronan? Those were the best days of my life.”

“You have never seen trees closely before?” Reya asked as if it was something unbelievable. “Isn’t it normal for anyone to be familiar with trees, at least?”
