In the past, she’d had a close relationship with her ladies, but now they made her uncomfortable. Everyone’s personality seemed to have changed.

Now that she thought about it, it all seemed so strange. So many things she had ignored until now were obvious. Looking back, she wondered how long all of this had been going on.

Suddenly, she realized she had arrived at her palace. Countess Melissa should have stepped forward to open the door, but she had not. Leah turned around, her eyes widening.

She tried to scream, but nothing came out. One of the Kurkans had covered her mouth with a large hand, and the bronze-complexioned woman apologized, as if she were embarrassed.

“Oh, Leah, I’m so sorry to startle you…”

Leah looked around her. A thin Kurkan man was dragging away the unconscious Countess, and as soon as she met his eyes, he lifted a hand in greeting.

“You two will only talk for a moment,” the Kurkan woman said, holding Leah tightly, “but that will be enough.” Gently, she pushed Leah into the lounge, and the door shut behind her. Leah’s lips parted in astonishment.

It was Ishakan. The man had boldly entered the lounge of the princess’s palace and was sitting in an armchair.

“Hi,” he said casually.

Slowly, he stood and approached her. Her heart pounded as he drew near, and Leah backed up until her back struck the closed doors.

“If you plan to profane me…!” She shouted, her voice trembling.

Ishakan’s eyebrow lifted.

“If I intended to, I would have done it in front of the fountain.”

“……”

Leah covered her mouth with her hand, shocked by the rude words. The man’s hands pressed against the door on either side of her, trapping her.

Suddenly, a scent came to her nose. She didn’t know what scent he was wearing, but the refreshing smell was so pleasant, she even felt the upset in her stomach subside. It was so startling, she was sniffing discreetly as he spoke again.

“I won’t do anything you don’t want me to, Leah.”
