The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 221

Draven stared at his mate.

With the contents of her dream already confirmed, the usual Draven would have already left her chambers as there was no need for him to stay. However, at this moment, he could not turn away from her.

‘Had I done anything to upset her?’

Concern. It was an unfamiliar feeling.

Draven had never initiated understanding another person’s feelings before, normally tasking others to deal with such delicate matters related to the heart. But now, he had to learn. He had to learn because Ember was his mate, and his mate was a person with her own feelings that affected him as well.

Other than answering him, she said no more. She wasn’t even bothered to look at him.

‘I don’t like it.’

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

However, Ember didn’t answer.

“Whatever it is, you can tell me. You don’t have to be worried about what I would say or do,” he insisted.

Looking at her, he could guess she was bottling up things inside, and given her element was fire, her nature was to be angered easily. If she continued to act like this, sooner or later, her negative feelings would explode, just like earlier in the day.

After a while, Ember finally spoke, “I do have something to say.” Her tone was somewhat cold.

“What is it?” he asked, inwardly relieved that she was responding.

Her pair of emerald green eyes looked straight at him, her gaze firm as she let out her thoughts.

“That Isa, I don’t like her. She dared insult my nanny so there is no way I would ever get along with her. I don’t wish to talk to her nor do I want to see her. If she comes in front of me, I won’t even pretend to show courtesy and be rude to her.

“I won’t care if it would displease Your Majesty as I know she is very important to you. I don’t care if she’s a cunning fox–the moment she overstepped my boundaries and insulted Gaia, that means she is someone I will never see eye to eye with. I hate her. This will never change, even if she suddenly turns good to me, even if she begs me on her knees asking me to forgive her. I will never forgive her and this will never change. Never.”

Ember said each word without even a tinge of hesitation. As if what she thought, decided and said was absolute to her. She didn’t even add the title of ‘Young Lady’ to Isa’s name to show how much she despised Isa.

Gaia was everything to Ember and she even lost her life for her sake. No matter how much Ember tried, she knew she could never pay her kindness back. All she could do was to keep her alive in her memories.

But Isa insulted her.
