The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 22

The human girl had just turned around when she saw the door open ever-so-slowly, and the head of a young kid about four or five years old popped inside her house. Short wavy brown hair slightly covered his pointed ears.

He asked in a childish voice, “Are you the one that our king brought to his bed?”

The human girl blinked at him. She could not understand what this young elf meant and only stared at that mischievous child whose height barely reached her waist.

“Little rascal, is this the way you talk to our guest?” It was Leeora who responded to his question, teleporting back seeing the elf boy had sneaked into the tree house.

The elf boy looked at Leeora with an awkward but innocent smile. “Elder! Elder, so is she the one the King—”

“Oh, your manners! Do you want me to talk to your mother, you little rascal?”

The little elf pouted. “Stop calling me ‘little’, Elder. I am two decades old. I am even older than this human.” Seeing that Leeora was simply staring at him, he chuckled awkwardly. “I-I just want to see the human. It’s the first time I have ever seen one since we don’t allow humans to enter the city. My mother used to tell me to stay away from humans as they are scary, but this human girl doesn’t look scary at all.”

Leeora chuckled, “Humans don’t look scary.”

The boy looked at the human girl. “Not scary, but she’s ugly.”

Leeora pulled his ear.

“Ahh! Elder!” the boy whined in pain.

“She is bruised and dirty. Can’t you see it?” Leeora asked. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

“Doesn’t change the fact she’s still ugly—!”

Leeora twisted his ear with more force, “You sure need to learn good manners.”

“A-Apologies, Elder. Her eyes are really pretty! At least her eyes are pretty!” the boy cried out and only then did Leeora let him go.

“Do not disturb our guest till she gets better. Do you understand?” Leeora warned.

The boy nodded and left immediately.
