Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

He was entitled to call her that now, but she still felt embarrassed. Instead of speaking, she softly bit his lower lip. He descended on her again, biting her lips gently, but stopped himself quickly, worried that her lips might swell.

“Lets have lunch.” He held Leah in one arm and the peony in his other hand. “To have a wedding ceremony, you must eat like a Kurkan today.”

Leah tilted her face back to the sky. From the position of the sun, it seemed a little early for lunch, and very early for someone who should be working. Ishakan glanced at her through narrowed eyes.

“Ahh, its been a hard days work,” he said wryly. And since they had found each other early, he offered to show her around his office. Leah claimed to be very curious about them.

The walk to the office was much quieter. When she was with Genin, there were Kurkans actually hiding in the bushes, but now she didnt see any of them. It seemed they had all fled, fearing Ishakan. Tomorrow, she should greet them, Leah thought, hugging Ishakan as he carried her to the office.

It looked completely different from the bedroom. There were no curtains to divide the space up; it was completely open and sparsely decorated, except for a large curved sword on display. The scabbard was decorated with gold and jewels.

Before a series of arched windows sat a desk, and Ishakan took his seat there, holding Leah in his lap and pushing all the scattered papers aside roughly. All of them were written in Kurkan. Leah picked up a blank piece of paper.

“How do you write your name?” she asked.

Ishakan picked up a quill to write, and Leah looked closely at the name, written carefully in large letters. His quill was too big for her small hand, but she awkwardly copied his name.

“Originally, my name was Isha,” Ishakan said suddenly as he watched her write.

She had never known that. Leah set the quill down and looked up at him.

“The Kan I received after I became King.”

King was a syllable added to the end of the name, a sort of honorific. Softly, Leah spoke his original name.

“Isha…” He laughed. “Now no one can call me that name.”
