The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 240

With each passing minute, Ember became more restless inside her chamber, sometimes glancing out the window, sometimes sitting on her bed, even pacing back and forth, trying to wait for time to go by.

Yet upon seeing that darkness had completely settled outside, she could no longer control herself from leaving her bedchamber to go in the direction of the southeast wing of the palace. The entire hallway was lit up with lamps, and in the absolute silence of the empty passage, she could even hear her own heartbeats.

Before she knew it, she had reached the closed door of the King’s chamber. She knocked on the door.

“Y-Your Majesty, are you inside?”

There was no response. She waited for a while before opening the door. She looked inside the empty chamber which was lit up with lamps.

‘Why is he not back yet? He left at around noon and it was almost evening. Did something bad happen?’ She felt worried but then shook her head. ‘He is the most powerful, I heard. How can anything happen to him?’ She consoled herself, trying to get rid of the growing worry.

She went to the window of the room where she had seen him standing a few times before. She glanced at the view outside, but given her limited human eyesight, there wasn’t much for her to see on the ground. She lifted her gaze towards the night sky.

‘I wonder what he thinks about when he stands here quietly. He never expresses himself so it is impossible to guess what he even thinks about.’

After staying like that for several minutes, she turned around to sit on the armchair nearby. ‘He shouldn’t mind it if I wait for him to return while seated, right?’

As she made herself comfortable on the chair, her gaze remained on the window. And just like that, time passed by. The dark sky was dyed by the silver moonlight, brightening the initial black curtains of the night. As Ember appreciated the beautiful shape of the full moon, she felt her eyes getting heavy as if she was being hypnotized by it.

‘Huh?’

She shook her head, blinking while touching her warm cheeks. She realized she was starting to feel strange. She could feel her heart beating fast, and inexplicable anxiety was engulfing her mind.

‘What is happening?’

She walked out of Draven’s chamber and went back to her own.

‘It feels the same as yesterday, but today it’s worse. Am I really sick?’

Entering her chamber, she went straight to her bed and lay down on it. Whatever she tried, it only worsened and it scared her.

Her hands clutched the bedsheet, pulling it towards her, leaving it all a mess. Her lips parted away to gasp as if it was difficult to breathe. Not knowing what was happening, she started to squeeze her eyes shut. She felt like she would go crazy.
