The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 303

Aureus watched the different places as they were wandering around while Morpheus' gaze was simply following Ember who was talking to Cornelia and later whose attention was caught by the shops full of beautiful dresses, jewelry, makeup products and everything a woman would want.

Being so young, Ember was not different from any other females of her age. She was also attracted to those beautiful things. She never got to visit any human city-market and visiting witch clan market was similar to it. Her face brightened up as she could fulfill her dream of buying things just like the human girls of her age.

Cornelia could understand what Ember was feeling and offered, "Miss, let's buy a few nice things for you. I believe you will like them."

Ember felt glad to hear it and immediately nodded. They went to the biggest boutique of the market where the staff welcomed them. They were happy to have their clan head and King's mate as their guests. Cornelia helped her select the clothes, jewelry, footwear and everything Ember liked.

"Miss, that dress will look good on you?" Cornelia suggested, while pointing towards particular dress.

"Will it?" Ember asked with a little doubt.

"Yes, Miss," an owner of the shop who attended the esteemed guest personally, chimed in, "It goes really well with your beautiful green eyes and I also believe His Majesty won't be able to move his gaze away from you if you wear it."

A light blush covered Ember's delicate cheeks as she awkwardly cleared her throat, "Then, I will buy this one."

Ember was happy to be able to shop like this and wondered how good it would have felt, 'If Gaia was here we would had done it together.' They had always talked about doing such a simple tasks but the chance never arrived.

Ember's face looked emotional which Cornelia noticed. "What happened, Miss?"

Ember shook her head, "Itis nothing," and looked at her, "Thank you for bringing me here and helping me, Lady Cornelia."

"It's my pleasure Miss."

"Everything you have selected, will be sent to the palace, Miss," the owner informed.

It reminded Emebr about something, "Oh, let me pay for it first." Ember had started to carry money with her as Yula had arranged it for her and asked her to carry it whenever she go out or needed it.

"No, Miss. There is no need for you to pay for it," the owner, a witch who looked slightly older than Cornelia, spoke.

"This, I need to pay or I won't buy it," Ember insisted.

"You are his Majesty's mate, Miss and you have come to our city for the first time. You are our esteemed guests. These are the gifts for you not from me but on behalf of our clan. I request you to please accept them," the owner insisted.

Ember hesitantly looked at Cornelia who nodded to her, "It's alright to accept them, Miss."

Ember finally agreed and the two left the shop. The men who were waiting outside, followed them again.

Walking inside the bustling market, so many things caught Ember's attention as she observed them. Standing by the roadside shop, she looked at delicate jewelleries kept on the display and happened to touch one set of light green jade bangles.

"Miss, did you like it? Let's buy it," Cornelia offered.

"Ah, no. I was just checking it. We have already bought enough," Ember refused in the fear that once again she would be told it's a gift and they won't allow her to pay.

Soon the sky started to be covered with darkness and every place lit up with multiple lamps. All those shops, roads, and residences looked beautiful. As they rode the horses to return to Cornelia's residence, Ember enjoyed that beauty.

Morpheus and Aureus accompanied then till the residence and they were ready to leave once they reached.

"Morpheus have tea, before you leave?" Cornelia offered as they climbed down the horses.

"Thank You, Cornelia. But we have to leave now."

"That's so smart of you," Erlos commented, as he was happy Morpheus was leaving.

"You are the one to doubt it, Kid," Morpheus smirked playfully at the elf who looked like he could not stand his presence anymore.

"Kid," Erlos frowned, "One day you will see who is kid."

"I will wait for that day," Morpheus commented while Erlos turned around and went inside the home, not willing to talk to him more.

Cornelia simply sighed as it was nothing new for her to see. She had witnessed Draven and Morpheus' word battle and it was nothing different with Erlos who followed his master's footsteps.

"I have something to talk to Ember," Cornelia heard Morpheus.

Cornelia nodded and looked at Ember, "I will be waiting inside."

Once Cornelia left, Aureus opened his wings, "I would like to take a night flight," and left, leaving his uncle alone with the woman he adored.
