It was the same mark he had seen on the back of the neck of that woman in his dream.

That day, he went to search for this fire mark on Ember’s body, but he returned empty-handed.

‘A mark not in her body but in her soul.’

What was the relationship between this symbol and him marking her as mate?

Draven put all his thoughts aside and asked, “Is there any way to know what this mark is about?”

“Leave this to me, Your Majesty. Though I do not know what it is, I will try my best to search through the hidden ancient books we witches have. I will even see if I can consult with the other leaders, though I do think it unlikely that they have ever come across such a mark, since among the races in Agartha, witches are the experts when it comes to matters of the soul. Please be assured that I will keep the reason secret.”

Draven nodded before closing his eyes to clear his thoughts. After a while, he looked at Leeora. It was the time to tell them about a piece of information that might be crucial to understanding the mystery of that mark.

“Leeora, this mark, I also saw it on the nape of that woman in my dreams,” Draven informed.

It shocked Leeora while Cornelia looked puzzled.

“Sire, that same woman?” Leeora asked. “The one who is the reason for that stab wound over your heart?”

He nodded. “A few days back, I had a new dream…” Draven explained about the scene of the woman walking on the grassy field and how everything was later covered in a hellish fire.

Leeora and Cornelia remained quiet even after he finished, unsure what to say.

“Sire, may I ask if this dream is related to Your Majesty’s missing memories?” Cornelia asked. In the past, Cornelia had been asked to scry the King’s memories, but similar to Ember’s case, it was also a failure. It was also Cornelia’s first failure as a witch, which had a huge impact on her confidence.

Draven simply nodded and gestured for Leeora to explain. The elf proceeded to fill in the witch with the important details about the King’s dreams.

Afterwards, Leeora looked back at Draven. “Sire, do you think there is a relation between that woman and Ember?”

“There should be. Initially, I merely had doubts as this human has similar eyes as that woman, but now, with Cornelia seeing that mark on that human’s neck, the connection between them is undeniable,” he replied.

The study was enveloped with silence as each of them fell into deep thought.

The two women then witnessed the King let out a frustrated sigh that was incompatible with his usual cold dignified appearance.

“That day…” he trailed off. After shaking his head, his expression regained its composure. “I was trying to search for that mark on her body but I could not find it.”

The devil finally thought to explain his cruel behaviour to that poor girl. He didn’t know why he felt the need to explain it when he never bothered to explain any of his actions to anyone before, but for some reason, he felt it proper to tell these people about it.

Did he regret it? Did he feel bad about that human girl? He had no answer. He believed his action was justified since he was simply trying to find out something important, but still…
