The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 267

Just as they returned to the main chamber, the three heard a knock on the door, and Yula entered the room with a concerned smile. After hearing that Ember was awake from the other servants, she immediately hurried to finish whatever she was doing to see her and check on her body. She felt worried for Ember; after all, it was the first time that a delicate human had become a mate of a divine beast. For Ember, it wasn't just any divine beast but a Dragon.

"How are you feeling, Miss?" Yula asked.

"I am feeling better now," Ember answered as she slowly walked towards the bed.

Though she no longer needed her servants' support while walking, Yula could see her struggle. Her weak human body must be having difficulty.

"Miss, I have prepared some herbs for you that will help you regain your strength and you won't feel this weak."

"Thank you, Yula." Ember replied as she continued to take her slow steps.

After Yula gave detailed instructions to Ember's servants, the two excused themselves from their presence.

"Miss, we will brew the herbs Dame Yula prepared for you to make medicinal tea. Shall we add some honey so you won't taste its bitterness?"

"I think we should," Reya commented. "We will return in a bit, Miss."

When the elves left, Yula approached Ember who was about to get into a bed.

"Miss, I have something for you."

Ember looked at her curiously and realized she was carrying something. She held one tiny ceramic container with a lid in her hands.

Ember wondered what it was. "What is it?"

"Miss, it is a specially made ointment," Yula cleared her throat a little awkwardly, "It will help you be relieved of...some muscle pains...heals faster if you are hurt...Umm...you can use it where you are hurt. I am confident it will help you feel better."

Ember felt a little embarrassed as she knew what Yula meant and just looked at the tiny container being offered to her.

Yula observed her hesitant and embarrassed face and smiled gently. "Miss, don't take it as me being nosy. You are a human, and it is a given your physique is much more delicate than ours. I worry for you. I truly wish you well, and besides, it is part of my job to ensure the welfare of everyone residing within this palace."

Ember never doubted Yula's care towards her. Though Yula looked a strict and tough person, she was in fact very caring and responsible. She accepted that tiny ointment container with a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Yula."

"Don't forget to use it. If His Majesty plans to visit you tonight as well, then you have to use it after as well."

Draven was a beast and Yula was aware of the instincts of beasts who had mates when it was around the time of the full moon. Though the night when the urge was strongest had passed, she didn't doubt that Draven would come to his mate again. She could only help the weak human to deal with it as it all was new for her.

'T-Tonight as well?'

Ember felt a shiver run through her entire body and it was because she didn't want to experience 'that' again. She didn't want to go through that same pain and that same embarrassing--

"I..will...I will use it well..." Ember said in a weak voice. If Draven were to come to her chamber, she would be helpless and unable to refuse. As she lowered her head, she felt her heart beating faster and her palms turning sweaty.

"The herbal concoction Clio and Reya will bring you will also help a lot so make sure to drink all of it," Yula informed her.

"Hmm."

"I will take my leave then. Please rest well."
