The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 238

After they returned to the main chamber from the side chamber, Ember noticed the familiar red flowers that were now kept in a vase instead of wrapped with a ribbon.

‘The bouquet, I wasn’t holding it when I entered my chamber. I even forgot where I lost them.’

Reya noticed Ember’s gaze and answered, “Miss, you happened to drop them at the palace entrance when you left with His Majesty in a hurry. I brought them back.” She said all these with an expectant beam, as if she was asking to be praised.

‘Left in a hurry? Who? I was brought here without my knowledge.’

“Miss, His Majesty sure is a good mate. Today His Majesty did everything for you a male should do for his female.”

“Yes, Miss. We are so happy for you.”

Ember heard them and thought the same. ‘He sure did everything.’

Her servants arranged a small meal for her inside her chamber, but she had no appetite due to all those disturbing thoughts and ate a little.

“Miss, you ate almost nothing.”

“The trip outside exhausted me, and all I want to do is rest,” was all she could say.

“Have this tea perhaps? It will help your mind relax,” Clio offered.

Ember accepted as it was what she needed at this moment and asked her servants to leave her alone as she wished to rest.

As the night started to deepen, the round shape of the moon shone brighter in contrast, and each passing moment felt like sweet torture to Ember. Her body had started to react differently, hot and wanting for something to make it feel better. She curled in bed, tightly holding her folded knees. At this point, she had thrown away the blanket that was covering her.

Despite the cold weather, she was feeling so hot beads of sweat had started to form on her skin.

‘What is happening with me? Am I sick?’

She clutched onto the bedsheet as if it would ease that unknown pain she was feeling. ‘It’s just I am so exhausted. Once I rest, I will be fine,’ she consoled herself.

The entire night went by with Ember struggling to sleep, and sleep came to her only around the crack of dawn.

When her servants entered her chamber about an hour after the sun rose, they found her still sleeping. Thinking she was still recovering from playing too much at the city of the White Tigers, no one woke her up and the elves left the chamber to let her continue her rest.

Ember woke up just before noon. She sluggishly looked around her chamber that was brightened by strong sunlight. With a yawn, she sat up in the bed and pressed her hand against her heart.

‘It feels fine now. My entire body seems alright.’ She sighed in relief. ‘I was exhausted, that’s it.’ After a good stretch, she happily stepped out of the bed. ‘Nothing is wrong with my body.’

She recalled something and realized, ‘So he didn’t come to me. He kept his words.’

After a while, her servants arrived to check on her.

“Oh, Miss! You are awake? Are you feeling better now?”

“Yes. Thank you for letting me sleep in.”

“Why are you thanking us for something like that? Anyway, shall we get you ready?”

“Yes, please.”
