The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 187

When Ember read these lines, she found herself being intimidated by those words though she didn’t know what the king in the story was referring to exactly. However, she felt her heart pounding in her chest.

‘He sure is like His Majesty. So scary… Simply reading these lines makes my heart beat faster.’

In the story, the princess turned angry and turned to leave while cursing the king.

“Who does he think he is?”

The king replied coldly to her outburst, “The sovereign of this kingdom, your lord, and your husband.”

The princess heard him clearly, but she didn’t even turn to look at him.

Ember sighed as she turned to the next page. ‘I don’t understand if I should call this king insensitive or this princess stubborn. Both are impossible to talk with.’

As the story continued, their relationship deepened, showing how their bittersweet encounters caused their treatment of each other to change. The king no longer felt indifferent toward the princess, and the princess started to look forward to seeing her husband.

Whenever the king came in front of the princess, instead of pure hostility, the princess felt mixed emotions, sometimes even finding herself smiling as she stared at him, while at times her heart would beat fast and she would find herself flustered by his show of concern or goodwill. She would act, unlike her usual self. The way it was being explained, Ember could relate to the experience herself.

She remembered that the past few days, she herself was unable to keep her calm. Whenever she would lay eyes on Draven’s dignified form, it was as if nothing around him existed and all she could see was the king. It was as if all the sounds in the world disappeared at the same time, leaving her to drown in her loud heartbeats.

‘I have been acting the same way as this princess. Does that mean I have fallen for His Majesty, just like this princess to her husband?’

She kept her hand on her heart which was beating loudly at this realization. She could not understand why—was she bothered by her newfound discovery about her feelings, or was this simply because she was being affected by the romantic development of the couple in the book?

‘But this king seems to have softened his character because he started to have feelings for his wife while His Majesty…” she sighed. ‘I can’t expect him to be soft towards me. Every time he sees me, all he does is glare at me with those scary red eyes.’

‘I don’t think their unconventional relationship is something I should use as a reference. I should move on to another book…but the story is so good…’ _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
