Leah did not answer hastily. Ishakan had spoken lightly of death, but there was no hint in his eyes that he was joking. If she made a mistake, even a single word, something terrible could happen. As she kept her silence, his eyes slowly narrowed.

His fingers gently brushed her reddened eyes, and her eyelashes trembled at the tingle of his touch.

“…I have been very fierce,” Ishakan murmured, looking at her watery violet eyes.

Leah didnt deny it, but she didnt agree either. It was certainly frightening when he raised his voice and acted violently, but somehow she had a strange, unfounded confidence that this man would not harm her. She had only met him twice in her life, so she didnt understand why she felt that way.

Just as she was wondering whether or not to tell him that it didnt matter, she heard a distant whistle.

“The thief has good timing,” he said, with irritation in his golden eyes. Bending, he kissed her forehead, so quickly that she didnt have time to reject him. “Remember me, Leah.”

With those brief words, he seemed to merge into the darkness and disappear, and Leahs hand reached out unconsciously to the place he had been.

“Leah!” The door to the lounge abruptly opened and Blain entered, very drunk. Since she had not returned to the banquet hall for a long time, he had come to fetch her.

For a moment, his eyes went over the lounge as if he were inspecting it, checking to make sure no one was hiding there. Leah glanced discreetly at the door, worried that there was some evidence of Ishakans violence against it, but it didnt appear to be broken.

“Why are you alone?” Blain asked, after he had confirmed there was no one lurking in the lounge.

“Countess Melissa is running an errand,” Leah answered without hesitation. Actually, she didnt know where the lady was, but she was sure if she said that, Ishakan would take care of everything. Blain smiled at her reply and hugged her.
