The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 228

‘Gift for me? To think of it, though it belongs to me, I had already lost it. But he brought it back to me. Nothing could make me happier than this jade pendant. If not for him, maybe I would have never gotten it back.’

“Miss, I am sure His Majesty will take you out as well for the festival.”

Her servant’s statement pulled back her attention to them.

“His Majesty is preparing for both of your first night of the full moon.”

“We are so happy for you, Miss.”

Seeing the two elves excitedly cheering as if it was about them, Ember kept quiet and didn’t deny their claim though she had doubts that Draven even had such intentions.

‘Is he really preparing for it? I am yet to give my answer to him.’

Ember felt her heart beating faster at the thought of it. She shook her head. ‘I don’t think so. He simply returned to me what originally belonged to me. There is no use for him to keep it with him.’ But then another thought came to her mind. ‘He could have given it to me anytime. So why now? If the timing was deliberate then…’ _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Ember felt a shiver run through her spine and goosebumps covered her skin.

“I am feeling cold. I want to go back to my chamber.”

“Let us head back then, Miss.”

Her servants immediately followed her back to her chamber. Ember knew it was going to be a sleepless night for her, given the countless thoughts in her mind. She did not even get the chance to taste her food since time seemingly flew by with her in a daze. Before she knew it, her servants were bidding her goodnight.

As she lay in bed, sleep could not come to her even a bit.

Along with her own thoughts, she could not help but imagine him laying in bed like her.

‘I wonder what he thinks about all this. If it is His Majesty, he will probably be sitting somewhere or standing by the window while deep in thought.’ She could not help but sigh. ‘He always asks me what I expect but I don’t know what he wants. Should I ask him tomorrow before deciding my answer? Maybe that is the right thing to do.’

Making a decision, she closed her eyes, waiting for morning to arrive so she could ask Draven about what he wanted.

The next day, Ember had been informed during her morning meal that her magic lesson with Helia had been put off until after the full moon elapsed. As the next couple of days were of great importance for those with mates, the Fire Fae thoughtfully considered giving her student some time to relax. After all, their last lesson didn’t end well, and it was not good to stress Ember if something again went wrong.

Since her morning schedule had been freed, Ember went out to the garden with her servants. Now she was feeling fine, so she wondered if she could go out of the palace and visit the nearby cities.
