Chapter 57 – The Audacious Queen (2)

“You know that I cannot do that, right? Why are you getting me into trouble?” she hissed quietly at him. Ishakan frowned with her short reply. He stubbornly drew his face closer to her, ignoring the witnesses.

“Is that too much for a man who served you with his whole body?” he whispered.

As soon as she turned her head, even though slightly, the sharp tip of her nose brushed over his cheek.

“I helped you a lot, right? I even almost died.” she spat back coolly.

Even if she told him, he would still do the same. Had it not been because of Ishakan, she would have been caught by Byun Gyongbaek in the garden that night. Ishakan snapped and lightly brushed his forehead against hers.

“I came because of you. It’s been hard to see you these days.” Ishakan grumbled, saying that the princess, who is locked up in the tower, should not be like this. She admittedly finds it cute, though it doesn’t quite suit him.

Leah discreetly stared at him. His brownish-black hair naturally falling down on his broad forehead. The clear line on the bridge of his nose that continues all the way up to his eyebrows gave him a fierce look, contrary to how he gifts her with a softer gaze
