A sudden force pulled on her shoulder and her body turned around. Leah caught her breath, looking up at dazzling golden eyes. Ishakans face was unperturbed, but his fierce eyes were piercing. The beautiful color she would never look upon again was etched in her memory.

When she belatedly came to her senses and looked away, his large hand grabbed her chin, forcing her to make eye contact. Ishakan opened his mouth to speak.

“Listen to me carefully, Princess.” His low, haunting voice made her feel a little nervous. “The noble life you have as a princess. Im going to trample and ruin it.”

His fingers gently touched her cheek as he whispered, his words embedding themselves deep within her.

“I will make you stop talking like the Princess of Estia…”

It felt like a golden light flashed in her heart.

“There is nowhere to flee.”

And with that, Ishakan was gone, as if she had blinked and he vanished into darkness. Leah, left alone staring into the emptiness, smiled bitterly.

“……”

She didnt have to run. If he looked for her, all he would find was her corpse. Her eyes went to the tuberoses strewn on the ground before her. Amidst the pile was an intact one, but she couldnt see it now. Gazing at the empty, fertile land, Leah went slowly back to her bedroom.

Now she was completely alone.

The night before departing the palace, the Kurkans were busily moving, stowing luggage and completing the duties ordered by the King. In front of the guest palace, a row of carriages and wagons were lined up. Suddenly all of the Kurkans stopped at the same time, looking in one direction. A man was walking quietly toward them.

“Ishakan!”

Haban, who had been supervising the loading, ran to greet him, and Genin put down the heavy box she was carrying. All the Kurkans gathered quickly with nervous expressions on their faces, and Morga exchanged glances with Genin and Haban.

“The Princess…” Genin began cautiously.
