Chapter 227 - Warning (1) (2/2)

“Drink it,” she said. “Morga gave all his effort to make this potion. It will help remove the toxins from your body.”

Leah drank it, and when it was gone, Mura brought her dinner. Leah’s jaw dropped.

The trays in Mura’s hands seemed like enough food for twenty people, but all of it was for Leah. Placing a small tray in front of her, Mura began to serve the food, and Leah pulled up the blanket and then began to eat. – Posted only on Novel Utopia

She had tasted Kurkan food the other day, and it had been so delicious, she had thought ever since how much she wanted more. Mura seemed delighted to watch her eat every bite, which only made it easier to eat. By the time Leah came to her senses, she realized she had eaten three or four times as much as her usual meal.

It felt as if her stomach might burst if she had another bite. Leah set down her silver.

“Where is Ishakan?” Leah asked, trying to distract the obviously disappointed Kurkan woman.

“Well, Ishakan…went out with some of the others. He’ll probably be back tomorrow. They were all very angry,” Mura added with a smile, and an icy fury in her own eyes. “Everyone has had to be very patient for a long time.”

Leah couldn’t imagine why they would be so angry. As she was thinking about it, Mura’s eyes widened.

“Oh, I didn’t bring your snacks!”

Mura darted away to fetch another tray and brought it back to Leah. The tray was overflowing with dainty snacks.

“It’s baklava,” Mura explained, and showed Leah how the treat was made with thin layers of pastry layered with crushed nuts and honey lemon syrup. It was a very sweet treat, but it went perfectly with the cup of hot tea Mura brewed for her. The Kurkan was pleased to see Leah eating with enthusiasm.

“All you need to do is rest while you wait,” she said.

Leah looked out the window as she drank her tea, watching the sky steadily darken. It looked as if it was going to be a long night.
