The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 84

When Leeora and Cornelia returned to the King’s chamber, the silver-haired elf was still guarding the door, though he did look bored, leaning against the wall. Seeing the two women, he understood the King had permitted them to see the human girl.

He greeted them with a light nod and opened the door for them to enter the King’s chamber.

Cornelia and Leeora were welcomed by darkness as soon as they stepped inside the chamber as all the windows were closed and the thick dark-colored curtains were drawn close, stopping the sunlight from entering the chamber. Their eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness even after the door behind them shut close.

Cornelia used a simple light spell, and the lamps inside the chamber lit up, allowing the two women to comfortably see their surroundings.

Meanwhile, Erlos stood outside with a yawn, continuing his duty as a guard.

‘I wonder till when do I have to stay here and guard the chamber?’

Leeora and Cornelia entered the luxurious chamber in silence, and they saw Ember’s tiny body lying unconscious in the middle of the large canopy bed. She looked out of place in her simple cotton clothes and body covered in bandages.

When the two women approached the bed, Leeora could not help but hold the girl’s hand and caressed it gently. “Human or not, she is just a pitiful child to me.”

Cornelia could somehow understand Leeora’s feelings for Ember. “My feelings tell me she won’t die, Elder. That power I sensed inside her, I believe that will keep her safe through this ordeal.”

“I believe so,” Leeora replied.

“But after she survives this stage of the bond, they…” Cornelia stopped as the two knew what was next.

“They need to complete this bond,” Leeora completed the witch’s statement.

“Her body is so weak and…for her mate to be a Dragon…” Cornelia felt heavy in her chest as she didn’t know how to express herself. She could only shake her head. “Do you think His Majesty will truly complete their bond and make her his true mate?”

Leeora continued to caress Ember’s hand, hesitating to answer. “If she survives, even if Sire does not want to fulfil their bond, he will be compelled to do so.”

Cornelia wasn’t exactly a kind person, but still, she was a woman. She couldn’t help but be bothered by the fact that after everything Ember went through, she would wake up to such a fate. _{freēwebnovel.com}
