Novel Full 218 Jealous Isa
“It’s fine. I won’t take much of her time. Tell her I will just see her for a bit and leave immediately.”
“Young Lady Isa, please understand. You really cannot visit Miss at this moment.”
“You two, how dare you disobey me? Is it because you found yourselves a new backer? You think you can be arrogant?” Isa raised her voice. “Tell your master that I want to see her. I do not believe she’s shameless enough to refuse to see me when I am personally requesting to see a human like her!”
She usually kept her temper in check and dealt with everyone with her sweet-sounding veiled words, but she didn’t have that leeway now. She was already upset because of Draven and could not help but take it out on the servants.
“Young Lady, our master is resting—”
“If she’s asleep, wake her up!”
“Young—”
“Get out of my way!” Isa raised her hand towards the door to open it with her powers, but despite her hand gestures,nothing happened.
“Did you put a barrier on her door?”
She was so angry that she failed to see what was stopping her, and once again gestured her hands towards the door, but the door remained closed. Just as she reached out towards the doorknob, thinking of slamming the door open, realization dawned on her.
‘Perhaps…?’
Her guess was confirmed when Reya immediately put her body between the door and Isa.
“His Majesty is inside taking care of our Miss, that’s why we cannot allow you to enter the chamber, Young Lady Isa. Please show some decency.”
Isa furiously looked at the door and heard Reya continue, “As a person from the beast clan, the Young Lady should know best it’s not good to disturb mates who are on their own,”
Though her words were polite, the Moon Elf offered a meaningful gaze to Isa which suggested something else. It was precisely because she didn’t like Isa that she’s happy to make the annoying fox misunderstand the situation.
This time, even the level-headed Clio didn’t stop her cousin as she didn’t like how Isa was behaving at this moment.
Isa gritted her teeth and stormed away without a word.
‘That human…I will teach her a lesson and let her know her proper place. I don’t care even if I have to leave this palace and I cannot come here again. That lowly human will get what she deserves.’
Inside the chamber, Draven had just laid the calmed Ember back on her bed when he heard the commotion outside. The moment he heard Isa’s voice, he sealed the door of the chamber with his powers. He didn’t want her to affect Ember more than what she had already done.
Once Isa left, his attention shifted back to his mate. ‘I wonder what the nightmare was about. Did she see the purple-eyed woman again? Nothing about her can be taken lightly. Once she is awake, I will ask her.’
Draven left after he instructed her servants.
“Do not allow anyone to see her without her permission.”
The two servants immediately bowed as they received his orders, and when they straightened their bodies, the King had already disappeared in front of them.
——-
It was late in the afternoon by the time Ember woke up. Her head was hurting and her entire body felt weak. She could not even sit up straight without pillows propping her back.
However, the mere fact she woke up made her servants happy and relieved. They fussed over her, giving her herbal concoctions to help relieve her headache, along with light snacks since she said she had no appetite for a heavy meal.
Of course, Draven was first to receive the news of her waking up, but like always, he preferred to give her ample time to settle down first and thus didn’t immediately head for her chamber despite wanting to talk to her.
Unfortunately, there was someone in the palace who was neither considerate nor attentive rushing towards his mate.
The moment Isa got to know the news, she could not wait to see Ember and hurried to her chamber. Though the King had asked her to apologize, one could see from her expression that her intention was anything but that.
‘I will never lower my head in front of a human!’
When Isa reached outside the chamber, she said to Clio who was standing outside, “I heard your master is awake.”
Clio bowed her head to greet her. “Yes, she has, Young Lady. Please wait while I ask Miss if she wishes to see you.”
Her pretty face showed hints of annoyance. “What do you mean? Why do you have to ask her? Just announce my arrival!”
“His Majesty has ordered us to not let anyone visit Miss unless she allows it to.”
As the servant mentioned Draven, Isa could not force herself in. “Fine, what are you waiting for? Ask her.”
Clio opened the door and entered the chamber.
“Miss, Young Lady Isa is here to see you. Should I allow her to—”
“No.”
Without a moment’s delay, the elf heard the reply. A single-worded response said with a firm tone.
Clio came out to see Isa whose pretty face was crumpled as if she had also heard that crisp ‘No’. Without even letting Clio speak, she turned around to leave.
“I will return later,” was all she said before she disappeared from that hallway.
‘Hide, hide, till how long does she plan to hide when we live in the same palace? Sooner or later, I will get her.’
Ember felt pissed even with the mention of Isa’s name. She simply could not stand that person, and with the condition she was in, she could not afford to see her. She was exhausted, and mentally and emotionally disturbed. Part of her state was caused by Isa’s provocative words, but most of it was brought about by her own power.
Even among the supernatural beings, those with the fire attribute were generally known for their daring personalities, but more so for their hot tempers and fierce spirits. It was because elemental attributes normally were reflections of someone’s true nature.
