“Sure.”

Oh my god. The thought was so surprising, Leah dropped her fork.

“In fact, I’m saying all of this assuming you grow to be his associate…” Genin added reluctantly. It wasn’t one thing she wished to say.

“I wish to be.”

Leah had no intention of doing that. If she wished to settle on this place, she wanted to study its language and tradition. She wished to study Kurkan. Genin promised {that a} professor would come the subsequent day to start teached her.

Along with her schedule organized, Genin helped her wash and alter her garments. Although it was somewhat awkward, Genin was capable of attend Leah effectively sufficient.

Leah stroked the skirt of her costume. In contrast to Estia, the place delicate, pastel materials have been used, the Kurkan model used many materials in vivid major colours.

“I’m sorry,” Genin apologized as she pinned jewels in Leah’s hair. “There may be fierce competitors to fill the place of ladies-in-waiting to serve you…”

However it will take time, so Genin promised to serve her within the meantime, even when she was not preferrred. When she assured her that solely the strongest ladies-in-waiting can be allowed to serve her, Leah laughed.

It had all the time been laborious for her to specific her true emotions. However since Ishakan was making an attempt so laborious for her, she wished to vary. With Genin beside her, she went to stroll and discover flowers to select.

“……”

A number of pairs of eyes glowed on the nook of the lengthy corridor as they approached, however as quickly as they made eye contact with Leah, they rapidly disappeared. All the way in which to the backyard, she continued to see Kurkans hiding right here after which, vanishing as quickly as she noticed them. There was even a Kurkan hanging from the ceiling in a single room, who ran away as quickly as Genin noticed him.

Leah didn’t perceive why all of them saved hiding and sneaking glances at her. Had Ishakan instructed them anything?

It was very attention-grabbing to have the ability to see the palace, since there hadn’t been a lot time to look when she first arrived. The cool shadows have been nice. She had heard the western desert was scorching, however the palace itself felt cool, most likely due to all of the vegetation.

“When you see a flower you want, be happy to select it,” Genin stated as she collared some Kurkans hiding within the bushes and threw them down the hallway. Leah regarded out into the backyard, holding again her laughter.

And she or he questioned how there may very well be vegetation on this place in any respect, when it was surrounded by barren, sandy desert. Amongst all of the unique crops, right here and there she noticed flowers that she knew. Pausing in entrance of some pink peonies that had not but absolutely bloomed. After a lot deliberation, she plucked the one which regarded prettiest.

“Leah.”

Somebody immediately hugged her tightly from behind, and she or he turned her head again, startled.

Ishakan was smiling. She had meant to go go to him in his workplace; she hadn’t anticipated him to return in search of her. Genin had already tactfully vanished.

“Do you want peonies? I’ll have to inform them to plant extra.”

Leah’s lips quivered as she clutched her peony. Although she had determined to inform her, she was embarrassed now. Ishakan rested his chin on prime of her head.

“There are nonetheless 4 kisses to go at present…” he stated.

“Earlier than that, I’ve one thing to inform you, Ishakan.”

Leah turned to face him, her arms trembling as she supplied him the peony. He regarded on the shaking flower with shock.

“Take me as your spouse,” Leah stated as her face turned pinker than the peony.
