Chapter 23 Summary
In the weapons room, Wrath removes Emilia’s diamond necklaces at her request. She gives him an intimate account of the sexual illusion she experienced in the Sin Corridor. After asking for her consent, Wrath pleasures Emilia with his fingers, encouraging her to take control and bringing her to orgasm.
Emilia makes it clear to Wrath that she wants them to have penetrative sex but he abruptly ends the encounter. He declares their training complete and tells her she can find pleasure on her own in the future. He leaves, leaving Emilia shocked, confused, and feeling used.
Chapter 24 Summary
The next morning, Emilia discusses Wrath’s behavior with Fauna. Fauna shares a rumor that the matron of the house resents Wrath because of a past incident involving her cursed daughter. This leads Emilia to theorize that the matron, Celestia, is the legendary First Witch and that her daughter is the creature Emilia has heard howling beneath the castle.
They visit Celestia to question her about arcane symbols. Celestia explains symbols are used to amplify a witch’s own magic. She also reveals that to obtain knowledge from the magical Curse Tree, a person must carve someone’s true name into its trunk, a name that holds far more power than any title.
