The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Isa's Punishment

The King's Palace, Council Hall

Upon confirming the possibility of Morpheus' survival, a council meeting had been arranged the very next day, not only to discuss the incident during the day of mourning but also the matters of imposing punishment to those involved.

Not only were the members of the council present to attend the council meeting, even a handful of the high-ranking elders of their clans also came, insisting to involve themselves in today's proceedings.

White Tiger Logan was with Draven in his study before the council meeting.

Logan was merely the son of the Leader of the White Tiger Clan, and though he was the Vice Commander of Warriors and the current Acting Commander, his role involved fieldwork, merely receiving instructions from Draven's aides or the Chief of the Shapeshifters on normal days. As the person in charge of the investigation of Morpheus' murder, Logan's presence in the meeting was necessary.

The two men walked towards the council hall.

"You can guess what issues would be raised in the meeting," Logan said.

"Hmm," was all the red-eyed man replied.

"Seems like you don't plan on having your mate attend this meeting."

"I do not want her stressed when she is yet to completely recover," Draven answered. "Today, there would be questions raised against her and her powers."

"Your mate's powers, to be honest, indeed pose a danger," Logan admitted. "Though that cannot be denied, I just hope their demands won't be extreme."

Draven simply nodded as he was aware of it as well.

When Draven entered that huge circular council hall, thirteen of the fourteen members of the council bowed to him, along with the rest. The Head of the Witches, Cornelia Grimm, was unable to attend, so one of the senior witches came in her stead.

Aside from Logan, there were also two unusual guests present in today's meeting— Black Witch Zelda and Thala Grimsbane, who were both parties involved in the meeting's main agenda.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Draven sat on his throne without a change in his expression.

As usual, the High Elder of the Moon Elf Clan, Halifax, started the meeting. He asked the Acting Commander, Logan, to narrate the most important points as well as the results of his investigation.

After Logan did his part, Halifax spoke, "Your Majesty, though your people are overjoyed to know that Commander Morpheus has not left us and we still have a hope to get him back, it is only right and proper that we punish the culprit, as well as the accomplices, of this incident."

Everyone agreed to this and Halifax continued.

"I represent all the council members to have Divine Fox Isa be punished severely for her crime of attempted murder."
