The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 206

After leaving Ember’s bedchamber, Draven went back to his study where he received news of the unexpected guests.

“Sire, Lord Ailwin and Young Lady Isa request to be granted audience,” Erlos informed him.

Draven nodded, permitting him to let them enter the study. Not long after, the elf escorted two people to the study of the King.

“Ailwin of the Divine Fox Clan greets His Majesty the King of Agartha.”

“This Isa greets His Majesty the King of Agartha!”

One male and one female wearing elegant robes. The male was a handsome man carrying a calm and solemn expression, while the female, her youth visible on her pretty face, offered a wide smile to the King. While the man looked like a dignitary on a mission, she looked like an excited young girl who could not wait to talk to a longtime friend.

Her dark eyes showed how happy she was to see Draven.

Draven gestured for them to sit and the two sat in the chairs opposite to the king.

“When have you returned?” Draven asked her.

The lively girl took the chance to reply, “Guess?” And then when she received the side glance from her older companion, she immediately composed herself to sound more courteous. “I came back two days ago, Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty, she came back bearing good news. Our Isa has completed the second level of her cultivation training and now she is a three-tailed red fox,” said the man with pride.

Though he was wearing nothing but a simple long white robe with an unadorned pale blue coat, his identity was not simple.

Divine Fox Ailwin. An eight-tailed fox and the leader of one of the shapeshifter clans living in Agartha. Although he looked like a human in his thirties, he was a powerful existence who was almost a thousand years old. Only his long grey hair gave away his age, the front half of the hair secured at the back of his head.

“Isa is the second female red fox who achieved it at such a young age of barely more than a hundred years old when it is difficult to have more than one tail at this age for a female fox. It won’t be long when she becomes the strongest fox in the clan. We look forward to having a Nine-tailed Divine Fox in the foreseeable future.”

The Divine Fox Clan. Unlike the Divine Eagles where they could call forth the divine power in their bloodline anytime and the difference between the purity of their blood would determine the duration of their battle forms, Divine Foxes were born weak, even weaker than their shapeshifter counterparts.

However, what made them unique among the descendants of divine beasts was that their growth would allow them to not only increase their strength but also their lifespan with each tail.

Draven nodded as he looked at Isa with his usual nonchalant gaze, “You did well.”

As Draven was Isa’s guardian, updates of her cultivation and wellbeing were given to him, and everything related to her was taken care of from the King’s palace. Draven made sure she was raised well and she would not lack in anything.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” she replied politely.

Even if Draven praised someone, his expression would be the same, and people were so used to it that no one expected him to show a pleasant expression. Though both Isa and Erlos were raised under his protection, even though both of them were close to Draven, his behaviour was the same.
