The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 239

As Draven said, as soon as she reached the end of the hallway, she spotted the elegant elderly elf talking to Erlos.

The two elves were already expecting her approach after sensing the movements in the hallway.

“Elder! I thought I will miss seeing you today as well,” Ember said while catching her breath.

Leeora offered her a smile. “My dear, relax. You found me so you can breathe calmly and then talk after. Shall we sit there?” She pointed towards the stone-carved sitting arrangement just a little away from the hallway.

Ember nodded while Erlos excused himself away. “You two go ahead first. I will get water for Miss.”

After he left, the two sat down side by side on the stone couch. “Yesterday, when I came here, I was pleased to hear you went to attend the festival at Nimer. How was it for you?”

“It’s a…nice experience.” Ember merely laughed. “The White Tiger Clan invited me and His Majesty.”

“Did you enjoy the festival?”

“I did. It was the first time I had attended a festival,” she said and then asked, “How have you been, Elder?”

Leeora placed her hand on hers. “I should be the one to ask you about how you are doing.”

“I am fine, Elder. I wish I could come to Ronan and visit you.”

“I wish you could but…” Leeora sighed. “I will make sure to come visit you often.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

After a short pause, Leeora asked, “How is everything between you and His Majesty?”

Ember didn’t know what exactly to say.

“Umm…everything is fine, I think.”

Leeora noticed the confusion on her face. “Is there anything you want to tell me?”

Ember hesitated for a moment and then said, “Elder, I know that His Majesty marked me to just test if I can survive. Now I did pass the test, he has to take me as his mate. Am I being forced on him and he doesn’t really want me? And again, tonight is the night of the full moon and if we complete the bond, it is just because he is forced by the effect of the bond, isn’t it?”

Leeora felt puzzled for a moment as she didn’t expect Ember to draw such a conclusion. “Why do you say so?”

“Umm..Someone said it and then I…”

“Instead of what someone said, what matters is what you feel about it.”

“Well, that person doesn’t seem to be wrong either. If he had not marked me and I had not survived and become his mate, he would not have even looked at me and even treated me this well. You know how he treated me before he marked me. It was as if he was disgusted by me. Now I wonder what he even thinks about me.”

Leeora gave her an appreciating nod at what she said. “Why don’t you ask him? He is your mate so I am sure he will answer.”

“He doesn’t even stay in front of me for long because my scent affects him. We can’t even talk for long.” Sadness was evident in her eyes.

“Hmm, that seems difficult.”

“If he is just forced to accept me….”

Leeora shook her head, “I don’t think that’s the case. He is a straightforward person. If he wants to do something, no one can stop him and if he doesn’t want to, no one can force him. He would never do anything against his will even if the heavens had to force him.”

“Then….but he doesn’t love me and….” _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
