The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 29

Around noon the next day, the door of Leeora’s home shook. If the tree spirit could let out a sound, it would be groaning at this point, but it could only let out its dissatisfaction by causing the tree shelter to shake, drowning the annoying sound with the rustling of leaves.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Which insolent kid is it this time?” Leeora said as she frowned.

Leeora might be the High Elder of the Wood Clan, but she’s someone who acts like a kind neighbourhood grandmother, sometimes even sharing sweets with the children, thus many of the younger elves treat her like they would their own family.

It had its own pros and cons, and this was one of the cons.

“Don’t be afraid, child. We just have a guest,” Leeora comforted the human girl. Wanting to have an excuse to have her leave her house, the elder invited her over to her own home to help the human girl change into new bandages.

Leeora looked at the door and it opened on its own, only for her to witness someone falling forward lifelessly. She recognized the elf due to his silver hair.

“Erlos? Oh, what happened to you?” Leeora put the bandage in her hands down and went to the elf who had fallen on the floor as if having no strength to stand. The human girl stayed in her seat frozen, not knowing what to do.

Leeora kneeled on the floor. Feeling worried, she lightly patted him on the cheek. The silver-haired elf groaned. “Erlos…? Are you okay…?” She continued patting his face to get him to talk to her.

He didn’t open his eyes but said, “Elder, you are hurting my cheeks.”

The older lady stopped patting his faceand instead slapped his arm. “You rascal! You scared me.”

Erlos was one of the elves who hated humankind the most. When his master teleported him to the Kingdom of Valor, his utter disgust for them made him finish his task of investigating in only half a day. Starting from the capital of Valor, Erlos spent the entire night and morning running until he returned to the Kingdom of Agartha.

His exhaustion was not only mental and physical; his magic powers were also drained.

Erlos finally opened his eyes and smiled at Leeora. “It’s good that Elder is worried for me.” _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

“There is not a single moment when you don’t worry me,” she said with a frown. “Now get up.”

“May I please have an elixir?”
