The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 297

Ember walked further inside from the entrance as she tried to identify that particular pull she was feeling. Along with that, her gaze observed the interiors of that drawing room which was more like a throne hall of the queen. Huge glass windows allowed one to see the outside but that was mostly fog out there.

In the center of that empty circular hall, there was a short, stony, well carved pillar-like platform which had a big, circular, flat metal container. Ember walked towards it and found it had water and there were the Camellia flowers floating on it. The same flowers which covered most of the outside garden and made it look beautiful.

"These flowers have been here for more than a century now. They are still the same as on the day Her Eminence left them," Cornelia infomed as she saw Ember looking at the flowers.

"For more than a century? How can that be…Won't they…" Ember stopped as she realized something. In this kingdom, with the help of magic everything could be possible.

As if Cornelia guessed her thoughts, she answered, "You are right, Miss. It's because of a magic spell."

"The pull I felt is coming from these flowers," Ember commented as she wondered what it was for.

"From these flowers?" Cornelia mumbled and then explained as she thought about something. "I don't know why Her Eminence did it but she had put a part of her powers in these flowers. Either she loved these flowers so much and wished them to be the same in her absence or she wished to leave something as a mark of her presence, as a sign that this place belonged to her or once she lived here."

When Cornelia was explaining, Ember happened to touch one flower on an instinct. The moment she did it, she felt as if she knew that energy which was flowing in that flower.

"So familiar. Such a comforting warmth. I feel like I know this."

Cornelia and Erlos simply observed her as they heard what she said. She put her palm under one flower to lift it out of the water but just then something snapped and Amber heard some voices.

'What is it?' Her hand froze in a place.

She closed her eyes and focussed on it. Her brows knitted and furrowed likened appeared on her forehead as she held that flower in her hand. Her other hand resting on that metal container, held its border tightly.

Erlos thought something was not right, "Miss…."

But Corenlia held his arm and shook her head lightly, asking him to not disturb her. Erlos listened to her and stayed quiet.

Cornelia didn't know what was happening but knowing their Queen and her powers, she was sure it would not harm Ember.

Ember continued to focus on those voices.

"Eavnthe, please help me."

"What happened, —?"

"I—am scared, Evanthe."

'This voice? It's the voice of that green eyed woman. And who is this Evanthe?' Ember tried to understand but at the same time she once again started to feel emotional because of that green-eyed woman. 'This woman Evanthe called that Green-eyed woman's name but why couldn't I hear it?'

"I am scared of the powers I possess. I feel like I am getting pulled into an abyss of darkness. It's scary. I—can't handle it. I am losing myself," the green-eyed woman cried with sobs.

"No one could possess it, not even the deities stronger than you. But only you could control it and posses it. That means you are the one who can control it and rule it. If not for you, everything would have been destroyed. You are strong and you have to be strong, —"

"But this power is destroying me. It's consuming me slowly. Instead of me controlling it, it has started to control me. I worry....I worry one day I will destroy everything. I can not handle it. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"You won't. Trust me. Sierra And I are always there to help you and protect you. You will be fine, —"

"I—" she continued to sob, not being able to say anything.

"Don't cry, —"

Ember also started to cry with her eyes still closed as she continued to hear that conversation. At the end of conversation Evanthe once again called that green-eyed woman's name but Ember could not get it.

Ember finally opened her teary eyes and looked at that flower in her hand. "Evanthe!" she mumbled and was about to lose her balance but Erlos held her.

"Miss!"
