Spells?

This was completely unexpected. Perhaps this explained Byun Gyeongbaek’s strange behavior at the Cabinet Council meeting.

“Leah…” Behind her, Haban whispered. “I don’t think you need to see these things.”

He said something else about the cruelty of the scene, but Leah was focused on listening to Byun Gyeongbaek.

“I know it’s hard to believe, no matter how I try to prove it, but I know Tomaris, skilled ones…” He was mumbling, rambling endlessly, and it made Leah want to slap him until he pulled himself together and started making sense.

But it was a surprise that he was offering this bizarre idea, and she thought about it. Suddenly, he shut his mouth, and a different voice echoed down the silent alley.

“You can come out.”

Leah had thought they were well hidden, but somehow Ishakan had perceived them. She glanced at Haban, but he only shook his head, as if this were inevitable. There was no choice but to come out and face the other Kurkans.

Ishakan’s face was expressionless as he drew on his cigar, watching them through narrowed eyes.

“Good evening, Ishakan,” Haban said awkwardly. Leah was no less stilted as she pushed back the hood of her robe.

“Greetings, King of Kurkan.”

“……”

Ishakan said nothing. His eyes shifted back to Haban.

“She didn’t see anything!” Haban said quickly. “I covered her eyes right away! But how could I keep her from hearing it?”

Even as he spoke, the Kurkans were silently concealing the other corpses. Leah saw Genin slyly pushing away something stumpy and bloody that was probably part of someone’s body. Leah looked away.
