The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 74

Leeora went to Ember’s home. The elf came just in time as she had just finished eating the fruits and the bread Leeora brought earlier.

“Are you ready to leave?” Leeora asked.

Ember nodded as she stood up from the chair. She seemed hesitant to ask, but she still voiced out her question before following the elf. “What is a council meeting?”

Ember was naive, but she was not dumb to follow everything blindly, especially not after seeing the elf’s expression earlier. She ended up asking what Leeora feared to explain to her.

‘It’s better to make her aware of the situation.’ Leeora felt like there was a huge rock inside her chest. ‘She needs to prepare herself if ever it’s decided that she has to leave Ronan.’

She looked at the human girl patiently waiting for her response. “Ember, you know how you are an outsider brought by the King into this kingdom?”

Ember nodded and waited to hear more.

“There will be a meeting about your stay.”

The girl looked at her with ignorant eyes, unaware of the gravity of the situation, and Leeora could not make herself say that she would be sent away. Just like others, Leeora was sure that the King would send her away as there was no reason for the King to keep her with the elves and go against the people of his kingdom.

In her mind, the only issue would be if it’s to the villages on the outskirts of Agartha or if she’s going to be returned to the human kingdom.

“The rest I will tell you on the way,” Leeora assured her.

Ember simply nodded as she trusted Leeora and followed her out of the house. With the help of the tree spirit, the two women reached the ground. Leeora called for her animal companion.

“Lusca? We’re leaving.”

The beautiful brown stag came to them and Leeora greeted him by gently patting his back. She turned towards Ember. “Go on and ride Lusca.”

“Where are we going?” Ember asked, and once again, Leeora felt troubled to answer her.

The King’s palace—she could not make herself say it. Leeora didn’t feel this uneasy back when Ember was acting like a mute, but now that she was talking and asking stressful questions, Leeora was wishing she could stay silent at least for the day.

Thump!

Just then, Morpheus landed behind Ember which pulled their attention. Ember found Morpheus standing a few feet away behind her and his beautiful wings flapping majestically behind his back, as if he’s tempting her with them.

“Little female, how about flying with me instead of going with Lusca?” he asked.

Hearing it, Ember wanted to nod straightaway, but she first looked at Leeora for her permission. Though she felt like the winged man was trustworthy since she was Leeora’s friend as well, he was still a stranger compared to the kind elf.

“Go ahead,” Leeora agreed.

The tall shapeshifter walked towards that hesitating human, and the next moment, she was lifted up with a single arm of his as if she weighed nothing. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
