The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 263

Present day, the Kingdom of Agartha.

As Ember was still not awake after their bond completion, Draven had to leave her side as he had urgent matters to attend. He received a report that two of the many scouts that were sent on the other side of the continent had returned with positive news. His aide Melion had informed him about their arrival and now they were waiting to meet the King after their long journey.

When Draven entered his study, he found Wind Fae Melion accompanying two male brown eagles, shapeshifters from the Divine Eagle Clan.

"Good evening, Your Majesty. I have brought them as per your order," Melion said as he bowed, and the two brown eagles with him did the same, though their greeting was more formal.

"Your humble servants greet the King of Agartha."

Draven sat in his chair behind the desk and accepted their greeting with a light nod.

"What did you two find out?" Draven asked straight away.

"Your Majesty, we have successfully found one purple-eyed woman in the human kingdom called Megaris. Her name is Seren Ilven, a princess from another kingdom who had recently married the King of Megaris and is now Queen Seren Ivanov. According to the rumors, she is a witch. Unfortunately, we could not confirm this as we did not manage to see her in person because we were caught by her husband."

"You say her husband caught you? That human king?"

Draven and Melion were both surprised.

Melion could not help but clarify, "A human strong enough to catch scouts who specialize in speed and evasion?"

"Sir Melion, the King of Megaris, Drayce Ivanov, isn't human," the more senior between the two scouts explained. "Intuition is telling me he is strong, very strong, and it has something to do with the superiority of the bloodline. Thus, I believe he might be a descendant of a divine beast, if not a divine beast himself, though we fail to confirm which race he belongs to. However, the essence of his powers was somewhat similar to the King...and he has eyes as red as yours, Your Majesty."

"A Dragon?" Draven murmured with a furrowed brow. Though he was not showing it, he could not help but feel a bit of anticipation, as he had never met a fellow dragon in his thousands of years of existence.

"Apologies. We cannot say it for sure, Your Majesty."

"A supernatural being suspected of being a dragon is the king of a human kingdom?" Melion commented in absolute disbelief.

Draven gave the brown eagles a questioning look. "He let you leave after capturing you?"

"It is because he has a message he wants to be delivered to you, Your Majesty," the senior scout said with a bow. "The King of Megaris had officially demanded an explanation as to why Your Majesty was searching for a purple-eyed woman. Depending on your response, he will decide if he wishes to cooperate with us or not."

Draven frowned. "Explanation? To a king of a human kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, there is another thing," the other eagle quietly spoke up.

Draven and Melion looked at him with heavy expressions, causing him to wither under their stares. His companion had to nudge him for him to start speaking.

The younger scout then dropped a second mind-blowing news.

"The rest I will discuss with the envoy from Megaris. You are dismissed." _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
