Chapter 224 Draven Proud Of His Mate

Isa stopped, but her mind had a little vicious thought. ‘So she is going to say bad things about His Majesty the same way I did to her nanny? Hah! Go ahead, human. I will make sure His Majesty knows how you insulted him later.’

“As we all know how great His Majesty is, we cannot blame him for you being like this. His Majesty raised Erlos as well and proved there is no fault in his upbringing. So, I wonder who shall I blame for you turning into such an ill-mannered person. Maybe you are just a foul creature by nature?”

Hearing those, Isa could no longer hold back her anger. “It was a mistake on my part that I came to apologize to you. You lowly human, you don’t deserve it. You seduced His Majesty by acting all innocent but I see your true colors now. I was right about humans being vicious. I will let His Majesty know how you treated me.”

“Do not bother,” Ember said. “I had already told His Majesty that I have no intention of being courteous to you.” Ember remained calm and composed. “And he said, I can do as I wish.”

“You are lying. I will let His Majesty know your true colors! The one who brought you up, your nanny–“

“Say one more word about my nanny and I will burn you right here right now!”

Ember was furious. She would not let this horrible fox insult her nanny again!

Isa, being a powerful person herself, could sense the thick energy starting to surround Ember the moment she shouted. It was not intensely fluctuating, but still looked threatening.

“You know I can do it,” Ember continued. “You won’t be fortunate enough to be saved by His Majesty a second time.”

Isa took a step back as she could clearly sense Ember intentions through her eyes. Those green eyes looked dangerous and intimidating.

Draven was observing this confrontation from a distance. After what happened between the two girls after Ember’s lessons, he paid more attention to her whereabouts in the palace. When he saw Isa going to Ember this time, he decided to personally witness the entire thing and understand why these two were as incompatible as oil and water.

What he expected was that it would be Isa who would hurt his mate but…the exact opposite happened. Each and every word said by Ember was cruel and mean towards Isa.

And this made Draven smile.

He approved of the change in his mate. ‘She is quite ruthless if she hates someone. If she was raised as a princess in Valor, she would have been a great princess, one who could even become the heir to inherit the crown. Nevermind. She will be a great queen of this kingdom.’

The more he looked at her anger-filled eyes, the more convinced he was that this was her true nature.

Fire. Fire could be tamed if handled with care, but one careless mistake could cause it to erupt and burn everything in its path.

The same way his mate could be gentle one moment and turn dangerous the moment she grew furious.

‘This is a good discovery. However, I need to teach her how to control her powers as well as her emotions. She cannot continue to let her anger control her.’

For her to be humiliated like this, the normal Isa would have thrown caution to the wind and attacked her. However, despite her burning anger, she could do nothing but grit her teeth due to the identity of her enemy.

‘This human, I cannot deal with her here. Soon…Soon, I will make her regret what she said today.’

Not saying a word, Isa turned to leave but then saw a silver-haired elf approaching them.

“Did you hear her, Erlos?” Isa sneered in contempt. “And to think you side with such a human.”

Erlos merely scratched his pointed ears in nonchalance, as if he was a mere innocent passerby, and threw a cheeky grin towards the young woman whose emerald green eyes had already calmed down.

“I sure heard something,” Erlos said and walked towards Ember with a thumbs up. “Miss, I heard you praising me and my upbringing. I know you are the best! Only you acknowledge how awesome I am!”

“Erlos, you’re siding with a human?” Isa raised her voice at him.

Erlos ignored her, his attention solely on Ember. He did a small, playful bow. “Thank you for appreciating me, Miss.”

“You shameless elf,” he heard Isa scorn, “did you forget your family? Your entire clan was killed by these humans. Did you forget everything about how we spend our childhood growing up without our families?”

Only then did Erlos acknowledge the fox’s presence.

“Are you really going to go this far, Isa?” He could not help but frown. “Of course, I didn’t forget anything, and I still hate those who did it, but Miss is not one of them. She is Sire’s mate and she will be the Queen soon. Why do you–“

“Queen? This human? Hah, I will never let it happen.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Isa. Sire has chosen her as his mate and she is the one who will be the Queen.”

“I will see how!”

With that, Isa stormed away in fury.

As soon as the fox disappeared from their line of sight, Erlos turned towards Ember. “Miss, don’t worry about her. She cannot do anything.”

“I know.”

Ember gave him a small smile. Despite being furious at Isa a while ago, her expression now showed not a hint of that and was entirely calm. After all, she had no intentions of harming Isa despite the tense situation between them. She just wanted to give her back the same attitude the fox had shown her so far.

The elf then decided to change the topic.

“By the way, did you have fun, Miss? I hope you liked the swing. His Majesty had nagged me alot to…umm…hmff!”

Erlos was unable to say more as his mouth was shut tight due to a certain someone using silence magic on him.

The young elf then raised his arms as if to show he admits defeat. He stopped trying to speak as he understood someone didn’t want him to. He simply bowed to Ember and turned to leave.

“Erlos?” Ember called out to him.

Erlos stopped in his tracks to hear what she wanted to say.

“Thank you for being on my side.”

“Always, Miss…Huh?” He realized he was allowed to speak now. He could not help but look around in suspicion. ‘Sire is keeping tabs on us.’

In the end, he could only sigh and go back to work after offering a smile to his master’s mate.
