The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 19

After Leeora left with the Human girl, Erlos went to Draven’s study to inform him of their departure. “Sire, Elder Leeora and the human girl have left.”

Draven simply nodded, but a frown inevitably made its way onto his face. For some odd reason, he was displeased about something.

Erlos, who could never fail to notice any change in his master, asked, “Is there something that is troubling you, sire?”

As if he found the perfect way to vent his frustration, Draven looked at Erlos. “Go to my armory and clean all the weapons inside. Every blade should shine enough to reflect your face like a mirror.”

“What?” Erlos exclaimed in shock but realized he acted somewhat rude., “I-I mean, sire, why so suddenly? There have been no armed conflicts for as long as I remember, and there is never a need for you to use them. Sword? Psh, you can wipe out enemies with a flick of a finger.”

The pair of red eyes glared at him. “You dare question me?”

The young elf immediately bowed as he dared not mess with the Devil King when his mood was more foul than normal. He was sure something must have happened to upset this heartless man.

“I do not dare, Sire. I will head out immediately as soon as I finish arranging these books.”

Draven did not comment and looked at the honeycomb-patterned shelf where each hexagon hole had a scroll kept inside it. One of the scrolls flew towards him and unrolled on its own, laying open on his desk.

His pointed ears twitching in curiosity, Erlos went closer to the table to peek. “The map of the continent, sire?”

Draven did not answer him as he observed the entire map. His gaze was stuck at a particular kingdom in the west—the Kingdom of Valor.

It’s been a long time since he had last stepped foot in a human kingdom after Agartha was founded. Multiple decades, close to a century, had passed since he visited the western part of the continent. Compared to the empire and the three largest kingdoms back then, the Kingdom of Valor was nothing, just an ordinary small kingdom with not much strength, and at that time, there were tens of ordinary kingdoms like it.

Based on the map, he found the location of that particular mountain where he picked up that human girl. He tried to recall if he had been in that place before or if he had any relationship with this ordinary kingdom, but there was a discrepancy with his memories.

Draven could not recall if he had anything to do with this kingdom, except for the fact this kingdom was part of the alliance headed by the empire against the supernatural beings, which was created to prohibit the practice of magic and sorcery. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

“What happened, sire?” Erlos asked when he saw Draven deep in thought.

“It’s time to upgrade this map of the continent,” Draven said.
