The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 296

Erlos and Ember continued to ride their horses at medium pace and reached the witch clan territory.

"Miss, we are finally there," Erlos informed as he looked at the particular residential structures coming into his site.

Ember followed his gaze and could see the boundary of the Honeyharbor city and the top parts of the residence that were taller than the boundary wall which was made by the strong and tall tree logs arranged vertically and closely to create the stronger fencing. The homes looked like cottages and most of them were built taller to two to three story structures. It even had towers at the different corners of the city to keep watch outside.

As Cornelia was aware of their arrival, her aids were already present at the territory entrance to welcome the guest.

"Welcome to the honey harbor city, Miss Ember and Mister Erlos," a beautiful, long black haired lady wearing an elegant dress and accompanied by another woman, greeted them.

"Thank you," both replied together.

"I am Silvia and she is Talia," she informed, "Please be seated on your horses as it will take time to reach the residence of Lady Cornelia."

Silvia and Tania climbed on their horses and led the way of their guests through the city gates. Their horses walked on the streets inside where Ember observed each and everything.

'This territory is different from the Wood Elf and White Tiger clans,' she thought as she compared it to tree homes of the Wood Elf clan and stone and clay homes of White Tiger clan.

On the way, she looked at those cottages like beautiful homes, shops and everything the city should have along with people doing their work and walking on the streets.

'Witch Clan lives more like humans, their homes, clothes and this city feels like how humans live.'

Soon they reached a quiet part of the city where the largest home in the city was located. It was a vast spread and two storey cottage with wooden fencing and inside that fencing the ground was covered with green lawn and beautiful flowery plants.

"We are here," Silvia informed as she climbed at the gate of residence.

The guard at the gate bowed to them and he took away that horse.

Erlos stepped down the horse and just like before he helped Ember to step down the horse as well and this time she didn't feel hesitant.

Another guard came and took away their horses and tied them at one place as they offered food and water to the tired horses. Ember felt glad that her horse was being taken care of. During this journey she felt connected to her horse and cared for her. Now she even knew her name and she felt like that white horse was someone that belonged to her only.

Silvia led their way inside that wooden gate and they walked on the plain marble path, dividing the green lawn in two parts. They stopped at the wooden door of that lavish looking cottage where the servant opened the door for them.

"Please, come inside," Silvia instructed.

Ember followed Silvia as she observed the interior of that beautiful cottage. It was decorated nicely with beautiful artefacts, vases with flowers, beautiful wooden furniture and a fireplace burning to keep that place warm.

'Witches sure love to live in luxury and with elegance like human nobles.'

"Welcome to the Witch Clan, Miss Ember."

Ember heard the familiar voice and looked at the beautiful woman walking down on the stairs from the first floor. That beautiful face like a rich noble lady, her long red hair left open at her back, that beautiful long blue dress perfectly fitted till her waist and long skirt covering even her feet.

'She always looks so beautiful. I heard witches are meant to be beautiful with bewitching beauty.'

Ember got back to her senses and smiled at Cornelia, "Cornelia," while Erlos bowed to greet her. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Cornelia was a head of the witches and she was no less than a queen of witches in absence of their true Queen.

Cornelia reached them, "I believe the journey was not tough for you, Miss."

"It was fine. I enjoyed it," Ember replied.

"You must be tired. Please have a seat," Cornelia guided their way to the wooden couch and chairs placed in the center of the Drawing room, closer to the fireplace.

Ember and Erlos sat in the chairs opposite to Cornelia, around the wooden center table. The servants brought tea and refreshments for the guests.

Cornelia offered her tea, "This tea will help you get rid of all the tiredness you have felt due to the journey."

Ember accepted and so did Erlos as he commented, "I always like to get potions...cough..I mean tea from the Witch Clan. Helps me cope up with work given by my cruel master."

Cornelia simply smiled as she knew what Erlos meant. "But, you don't really need any potions, Erlos. Sire have trained you enough to be stronger. You might not realize, but I can see that."

"His way of training?" Erlos sighed, "I pray no one has to go through such an unusual training methods."

Ember looked at him, "How did Sire trained you? Did he teach you like Helia teaches me?"
