Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 163. Wasnt In Vain

Leah decided not to worry about what Ishakan might be hiding. It was enough to concentrate on Byun Gyeongbaek. She believed he wouldnt passively accept what had happened. She had assumed that he would gather his troops to attack immediately, but he had been more patient than she expected. Given his temperament, his reaction was almost too moderate.

But he had been colluding with the followers of the former King of Kurkan. That was strange from a man who had always despised Kurkans and called them barbarians. Suddenly, she wondered.

Had he really successfully defended the frontier with the Kurkans? The eyes of the royals had never reached as far as the western frontier. They had always believed what Byun Gyeongbaek told them. More than once, Leah had tried to inquire herself, but there was little information that could be obtained within the palace, and she didnt have the resources to look deeper into the matter herself. She had decided to focus her efforts elsewhere.

In retrospect, everything had changed drastically the moment Ishakan had killed the former King and took the throne. Perhaps there was something more to the truth.

“Ive come to find you, Leah,” said Haban. Since Ishakan and Genin were both busy, Haban had come to take her to the Kurkan sorcerers.

They talked of many things on the way there, and when Haban casually mentioned how busy everyone was preparing for an expedition, Leah swallowed hard. She didnt need to ask where they were going, but it was a shocking thought to her. An expedition to Estia, no doubt.

When Ishakan had said he would give her a gift, was this what he meant? He was always doing things she would never have imagined him doing.
