The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 25

After her brief visit to the palace, Leeora returned to Ronan.

Upon entering the city of elves, the High Elder first instructed one of her clan members to deliver a message towards Honeyharbor, the land of witches on the other side of the forest.

The territory of the witches bordered the Forest of Elves, starting from the edge of the forest towards the grassy fields where a handful of witch towns could be found. Unlike the elves that have one city per clan, the witches only have a single city within their territory—the City of Honeyharbor.

With that, all she would need was to wait for the response of the Head Witch. Leeora decided to head back home.

‘I wonder how that human girl is faring.’

When she checked the tree house beside hers, Leeora could not help but shake her head. As expected, the girl chose to stay inside her house. She had told her she could go out and roam around the city, hoping that it would let her feel a sense of belonging especially if she made some friends among the young elves, but the girl seemed to prefer being alone.

Leeora knocked on the door of the human girl’s house.

“It’s me, Leeora. May I come in?”

After knocking once more, she decided to enter the house and found the human girl sitting by the window, looking outside quietly. She looked lonely, lost as if she had nothing left in life to do and was wasting her time away. It brought a sigh to the elf’s lips.

“How have you been, child?” Leeora asked.

Hearing her, the human girl simply turned to look at her, but that was all. Leeora smiled and went towards where she’s sitting.

She saw what this human girl was looking at. From her window, she could see the view of a beautiful and grand palace made entirely of white stone that seemed to glisten under the sun. It was the one and only magnificent structure in the middle of the mountains full of greenery, standing magnificently beside a river and a forest.

The Royal Palace of Agartha, residence of the Devil King Draven Aramis.

Aside from the palace, there were no other huge stone constructions in this kingdom as all races living under his protection preferred to live in either quaint communities or in their natural habitats, like the forest or the lakes.
