The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 311

Ember's green eyes seemingly lit up like gemstones under the sunlight. "You agree?"

"Yes, I will call you Ember." The human made a small cheering motion with her fist, causing the golden eagle to grin. "Since I will call you by your name from now on, you must also call me Aureus. Give and take. Is it fine?"

She smiled brightly. "It's absolutely fine...umm...Aureus!"

"That seems nice. Just drop the formalities and titles and call each other your names," Erlos said with a nod, only to hear Ember chime in.

"Then you should also call me by my name, Erlos."

"Umm, Miss, it's different for me. I am a servant working in the palace..."

"See, this is what I am talking about. Even Aureus agreed to say my name." She gave him a displeased look.

"But Sire is my master, that means you are also my master!"

"Oh, then, I order you to call me Ember from now on."

"Ugh, Miss, how could you do this? This isn't fair!" But in the end, the elf too was beaten down by the look on Ember's face. "Fine, fine, I will call you by your name, but only when we are by ourselves. When there are others with us, I must address you respectfully. It's not that I don't want to follow your orders. You will be crowned Queen and we must separate kingdom affairs from private matters."

"I agree."

"I will have to follow the same rule, Ember," Aureus chimed in.

"Alright. I agree, I am not unreasonable," she said cheerfully. She felt especially happy that she gained more friends!

Speaking of friends...

Only then did Ember realize someone from the group was missing. "Where is Morph?"

Aureus didn't have to search for him, and this was the same with Erlos. Their senses were sharp enough to realize when the gray eagle took off while Ember was engrossed in conversation. The young eagle gestured for the human to look in the direction of the river.

"Whoa! When did he get there?" Ember exclaimed. Morpheus' figure was steadily flying above the glittering surface of water, his majestic gray wings flapping with strong strokes that caused ripples to appear on the river. "But what is he doing there? Don't tell me--"

The next moment, she got her answer as Morpheus dipped his hand in the water, and by the time he raised it, there was a big fat silvery fish in his grasp. He didn't even have to step in water and get wet himself.

Erlos frowned as he mumbled, "It's not that impressive. The real fun of catching fish is when you step in the water."

Seconds later, Morpheus landed back on the riverbank with two large fishes in his hands.

"You are amazing, Morph!" Ember commented.

"You and Erlos must be hungry after that big fight," Morpheus said.
