The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432 She Is A Princess

It was time to discuss the next issue in their agenda, but Halifax felt a little hesitant mentioning it to their ill-tempered king. "Your Majesty, the next issue is about His Majesty's mate, Lady Ember."

Draven did not say a word.

Taking his silence as approval, Halifax continued, "We are concerned about the kind of power His Majesty's mate possesses. Even His Majesty's power, which is strongest among our kind, fails short in front of it."

"It is not her power per se, but the fact that she is human with power that concerns you," Draven said in a flat tone. "Your Majesty, according to the report, though instigated by Young Lady Isa, you cannot deny that Lady Ember killed three people. You also cannot deny that Lady Ember lost control of her powers. If not for the Commander luckily stopping her…Alas!"

Another elf chimed in, "We are worried to see humans having such powers. Think forr our kingdom. In the past, ordinary humans with no powers had brought chaos to this kingdom, so we are not sure what a human with such power would be able to do. Your subjects fear her very existence, Your Majesty. No one wishes for her to step foot on their cities.""

"She is my mate, and I refuse that she be put in harm's way."

"We do not ask that she be harmed, Your Majesty. Only…though it is best if you can ask her to stay outside of Agartha, we will be satisfied if you can assure us that she never steps out of your palace…"

"You want me to imprison my mate?"

"Your Majesty—"

"She indeed possesses a great power, but you forget power is a tool

—one needs to be guided to properly wield this tool. What she needs is not blame, but guidance." _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

"The people are terrified of their survival, Your Majesty. Please think of your people."

"My mate only used her power because someone important to her was being harmed. It shows that although she is a human, she values our kind and sees us as people, not a being of another race. Morpheus is her dear friend and she was angered because he was dying in front of her. You excuse the behavior of the Divine Eagle Clan beastmen venting their anger on the Divine Foxes just because they hurt their clan member, yet you turn a blind eye to the fact she lost control over herself because her friend was stabbed right in front of her eyes?"

"That's true, but Your Majesty, you forget humans are fickle beings. We cannot be sure about her later intentions. Please learn from the past. Back then, His Majesty trusted that human you called a friend as well and assured us all, but didn't that human's betrayal wiped out the entire High Elf Race—"

"I know whatever I do, my mistakes from the past will never vanish and I am regretful for that. But this, I solemnly vow—Ember Aramis is my mate and I can feel her intentions through our mate bond. I believe none of you would want to doubt the power of this sacred bond. If she harbors evil intentions towards our people, I will be the first one to feel it. If her existence threatens the lives of the people of Agartha, I will stand in the vanguard protecting you from her."

Though others still had doubts, they dared not openly question the King in front of the council. Many of them were not assured, especially those who witnessed Draven's power being ineffective against Ember's barrier back then. Everyone talked among themselves and Halifax finally turned to one person. "Queen of the Fae, you assigned Fire Fae Helia as Lady Ember's magic teacher. Do you have any opinion on this matter?"
