“Good. I gave you the tea because youre not feeling well, so be sure to drink it.”

As the listening ladies praised Cerdina for her thoughtfulness and attentiveness, Leah offered her own thanks.

“Enjoy the banquet. I must converse with our guests who have come so far,” Cerdina said, smiling broadly as she observed the nearby dignitaries. “We must be diligent today if we want a magnificent wedding celebration.”

The Queen Mother went to where Blain was standing to speak to the gathered emissaries. They had looked uncomfortable, but their expressions became more natural as they talked to her. Except for the Kurkans.

They stood apart like an island in the banquet hall. They had come to partake of the banquet, but their faces looked so ferocious that no one dared to approach them. Even Cerdina had not yet gone to speak with them.

Leahs attention automatically focused on the Kurkans. It would be bad if Blain caught her watching them; he seemed to dislike them.

After she spoke for a while with the ladies, Leah discreetly approached Blain to tell him she was going to rest in the lounge. He was laughing loudly as he spoke with the emissaries from the southern countries, and maybe drunk; his face was flushed and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

“Your Highness.”

“Oh, my wife is here.”

She was not his wife yet; they had not yet been married, but Leah ignored it. Blain introduced her to everyone, hugging her to him and kissing her neck. Leah shrugged uneasily.

I wish he wouldnt do this in front of people…

She had also disliked it when he kissed her cheek in front of the Kurkans. But Blain wouldnt stop just because she didnt like it. She had to tolerate this kind of thing because she loved him. After she had submitted to it for a while, she gently pushed Blain away.

“Ill be back in a little while, I need a short break in the lounge.”

“All right.”

With his permission, Leah hurried out of the banquet hall. Her nausea had only gotten worse with contact with Blain. Countess Melissa followed her, accompanying her to the lounge.
