Although Leah was no longer in Estia, her heart was still trapped in the palace of that country. The Queen had been hurting her for a very long time. She would not recover easily. Ishakan frowned as he looked at her, remembering the way she had begged him for help.

—Help me with this, Ishakan.

He could not understand her anxiety. After he saw her suffering through nightmares and hallucinations, he had bound her as she requested to let her know she was in a safe place. He wanted her to understand that she was in his domain now, not the Queens. But it seemed to him it wasnt enough.

It was a problem that couldnt be resolved until the root cause was eradicated. Ishakan chuckled, gently stroking Leahs forehead with his fingers.

He imagined a crown in her silver hair as he brought his pipe back to his mouth.

The Kurkans who had just returned to the palace were very busy. Since they had been away for a long time, there was a great deal of unfinished business, but they were constantly being disturbed.

The cause was the Kings bride, who had been kidnapped from Estia. Unable to satisfy their curiosity with Ishakan himself, the Kurkans harassed those who had been to Estia with him. Genin and Haban barely managed to escape.

“Im really going to die,” Haban muttered as he pushed open the conference room door. It was a huge door that stretched from the floor to the ceiling, and could have only been opened by several adults in most places. For a Kurkan, however, it posed no problem.

Genin and Haban bowed politely and offered greetings as they entered the conference room, where a dozen Kurkans were seated at a long ebony table decorated with gold. The room was covered in colorful arabesque tiles, a place where the tribal chiefs gathered. Haban and Genin were here as the Kings guards.

Morga, as chief of the snake tribe, was also seated at the table and looking exhausted. He had come to the meeting directly after rising from sleep. He had been sleeping ever since they returned to the palace.
