The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 95

After Draven left, Leeora helped Ember get ready with the help of other maidservants. She was the King’s mate now and the servants were being specially careful how to treat her. Since she would be going out, she should look more presentable than how she normally looked.

With the help of one of the servants who was a water-attributed fairy, they gave the human girl a proper bath as she hadn’t properly washed up for the past two days.

The female servants were thrilled to put on new clothes on Ember, as there was rarely a chance for them to dress up anyone in the palace. During the time the King’s mate was unconscious, they weren’t idle either and sewed new clothes for her.

“Oh dear, you look like a doll,” Leeora could not help but exclaim.

It was a layered white and green dress that was easy to move about, the fabric being of the expensive silks used by the palace. Even though they tailored it for Ember, it was still oversized for her since they took note of her injuries. Still, they would continue working on new clothes for her, as they expected that her frail body would still change over time.

‘The King’s mate would soon live with us here in the palace,’ was their collective thought.

Leeora then braided her hair in two braids as she had done before, causing Ember to smile in delight. Finally, they were ready to head back to Ronan.

“Shall we leave?” Leeora asked.

Ember nodded excitedly. She could not be happier than this–she could finally go back to the elf city! She would be allowed to continue staying in her home that was given to her by Leeora. She loved that cozy and comfortable home, and she also loved her silent companion, the tree spirit who guarded her house. Though it could not talk, its presence assured her that she was not alone, and the best thing was that the tree spirit didn’t disturb her.

Just as they stepped out of the chamber, Leeora asked the young elf still standing guard outside, “Where is the King, Erlos?”

“He’s in his study, Elder,” Erlos replied and then he gave the girl a look before giving her a satisfied nod. “Oh, the servants did good work on you. You’re dressed like a human noble. Your scars seem to be getting better too, hmm? That’s good, that’s good.”

The pretty dress had sleeves up till the elbow, and the bandages had been removed on her arms, allowing him to see how much she’d recovered from her injuries.

He continued, “I think the female servants are altering more clothes for you. I’ll have the finished ones sent to your house by the end of the day.”

Erlos was having a relatively easy time lately due to his master’s distraction, that’s why he felt fond of the King’s little mate. She didn’t know how to react to him being this friendly to her, but her eyes showed she acknowledged his goodwill.

Leeora looked at Ember, “We shall say bye to the King before leaving.”

Ember looked hesitant.

Inside the study, Draven was talking to a blond young man with thin gossamer wings on his back. It was his aide, the Wind Fae Melion, who was working as his messenger and advisor on the general affairs of the kingdom. He was reporting to the King about the reaction of the people after the news of the King marking the human had spread across the kingdom like a wildfire. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
