The Devil's Cursed Witch-Chapter 270 Calling His Name

'Reya and Clio. Maybe Yula must have told them to...?'

Just then, her servants entered her chamber with huge grins on their faces.

"Good morning, Miss," both greeted her who were looking at them, only for her to ask them something but...

"Miss, what is that in your hand?" Clio asked.

"I saw it last evening when we brought tea for you but forgot to ask," Reya added.

'So not these two,' Ember concluded. "Did Yula visit my chamber this morning?"

"Miss, that is impossible. Dame Yula returned to her home last night after finishing her work and she is on leave for a few days," Clio answered promptly.

"Leave?"

"Dame Yula's daughter would be returning home, so she took a leave to spend time together as a family."

"Dame Yula really loves her daughter."

'So it was not Yula,' Ember concluded again. 'Then there is no other culprit. It had to be him. Did he... Did he really?'

Her face felt very, very hot.

"Miss, what happened?" Clio asked, noticing her red face.

"N-Nothing," Ember replied as she put the lid back properly on that container and set it aside. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

She could not come up to imagine what had happened to her just now.

'Him...last night...No way!' she screamed inside.

"Miss, we will prepare a bath for you." 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

The two servants didn't know what was wrong with their master but felt it was fine to leave her on her own. Both thought it must be something about her master spending a night with her mate and she didn't want to talk about it.

'Just as I thought we would be fine, once again I can't face him. Why...Why did he have to do it?...Ahh...' Ember felt like pulling her hair out.

"Miss, bath is ready," Reya informed.

Ember walked inside her bath and sat in the water after removing her clothes. Calming herself down in warm water, she thought about it once again.

"It's fine. As he did it when I was sleeping, then I will act as if I don't know."

After bath and her servants helped her get ready, they prepared a nice meal for her which she ate once again like a hungry ghost.

She was inside her room for two days now and wanted to go out. As they walked along the corridors of the ground floor to go out towards the garden, Ember asked, "Now the bond is complete, can I not go outside of the palace? Visit other cities?"

"Miss, you can but we have to get His Majesty's permission," Reya informed.

"Or who knows His Majesty would like to personally take you out with him?" Clio teased.

"That is also possible. Males like to take their females out and make them feel happy," Reya added, "Sometimes I wish if we were beasts as well."

"I will ask grandmother to get a spouse for you so you can go out as well," Clio commented.

"Really? Please do so..."

When the two were talking, Ember was busy wondering if Draven would take her out and show her other cities. Immersed in her thoughts, she forgot that they were walking in the corridor which would lead her towards the King's study. She simply followed behind her chatterbox servants.

"His Majesty," Clio said in a low voice.

It pulled Ember's attention towards Draven who had stepped out of his study. Though they were far from him, she froze in her way as she felt embarrassed to face him due to what he did when she was sleeping.

Ember took a step back and was about to turn around but then heard her two servants, "Miss Isa.?I haven't seen her for a while now."

"I wonder where she was. In her absence, the palace seems peaceful."

Ember looked at Isa who was with Draven and they seemed to be talking about something. Ember, who was about to leave, her eyes narrowed at that sly fox upon seeing how she was smiling at her mate. She frowned and....

Her servants watched her walking past them and going towards Draven and Isa. The two servants didn't follow her as they knew she was going to her mate and it was not good to follow her.

On the way, Ember pushed aside the hair locks hanging in front of her right shoulder so the mark on her neck was clearly visible to anyone who would come in front of her. She continued to glare at the certain fox, clearly displeased seeing her talking to her mate. That naive-looking Ember suddenly turned into a different person who would not like it if someone tried to cover her things.

Draven had sensed her presence a long back since the moment he stepped out of the study but waited to see if she would come to him. He had also sensed she was about to leave but then she suddenly turned back and walked towards him. He still didn't look at her and was listening to what Isa was telling him.

"....everyone would be there like every year."

Just then Isa's gaze followed Ember who was walking toward them. Isa smiled at Ember as she reached them. "Good Morning, Miss Ember."

Ember was quite surprised that Isa called her 'Miss Ember'. She didn't reply to her greeting and looked at Draven with a displeased gaze. Draven looked back at her with his usual gaze like a still water which held nothing in it.

Isa's gaze didn't fail to notice the mark on Ember's neck which now had a beautiful addition to it- A Balck Dragon. She had no doubt that they had consummated the bond as there was a night of full moon and that was the reason she was away from the palace. She had accepted the fact but now as she saw that bond completion mark, Isa could not help but feel bitter. This could have belonged to her but this human meddled.

As the two mates shared silent gazes with each other and forgot someone else's presence around them, Isa maintained her calm and talked.

"Miss Ember, His Majesty is accompanying me to visit my brother's grave."

Ember simply looked at her, not saying a word. Her quiet gaze was more intimidating than if she had spoken mocking words.

"I believe you won't mind it," Isa said, maintaining that same smile.

Ember was still calm while Isa looked at Draven, "Your Majesty, shall we?"

Draven looked at her and nodded.

"Draven," Ember called, which made him look back at her. He was sure she had something to say. His name rolled out of her tongue so swiftly and he liked it.

Isa was taken aback that Ember called him by his name. No one...no one dared call him by his name except for a few of his close acquaintances and they called him by his name only in private and not in front of others.

"Once you are back, let me know. I have something to tell you," Ember explained.

"I will."

Ember was ready to let him go as she knew that Isa's brother was Draven's dear friend and she didn't want to hold him back from visiting him.

She heard Isa again, "We have to teleport there," and held onto Draven's arm with her hands.

Ember frowned inwardly seeing her hands holding his arm and Draven said nothing. To teleport with him, Isa had to hold his hand but Ember could not help but feel angry at it.

"I will be back soon," Draven informed.

Ember nodded and saw them disappearing in front of her.

'Seems like that little fox wants two of her paws burned.' Ember's eyes looked vicious with a hint of grave danger like her true self was showing up.
