The words shocked her. The title Queen of Kurkan echoed in her mind. But outwardly, Leah was unperturbed.

“Youre talking nonsense,” she said. “Why would I have to save your life?”

Rummaging through the basket of roses with one hand, the Toma woman showed her a glass bottle filled with black liquid, hidden among the flowers. A Tomari potion.

“This will help clear your mind,” she said. “If you have any doubts, then ask those that are guarding you what this potion is for.”

At first Leah thought she meant the knights. But her knights couldnt possibly know anything about strange potions. And then Leah understood who the old woman meant.

“…Ill take the roses.”

As Leah took the basket, the Toma woman thanked her profusely.

“But I cant guarantee your life,” Leah clarified. “I dont have that power.”

The old woman smiled as if she had heard something funny.

“The Kurkans will always follow the wishes of their Queen,” she whispered. “Please dont forget this meeting.”

And the old Toma woman walked away. The coachman spat in her direction and snapped the reins, starting the carriage forward. Leah closed the window and slid the curtains back into place, stroking the petals of the roses in the basket. She hadnt seen fresh flowers since she left the peach orchard.

Her head lowered.

She wanted Ishakan.
