Just like that, Ishakan was lifting Leah into his arms to go see Count Weddleston. Behind him, Haban was stuffing the unconscious Byun Gyeongbaek into a sack and lifting it onto his back.

“Wasnt his head going to be cut off?” Genin asked.

Leah shuddered.

“Not now,” Haban replied, to Leahs relief.

“…Im worried,” Genin muttered. “A fight between a couple is like cutting water with a knife…”

Leah would have liked to hear more, but Ishakan suddenly interrupted them with a sharp command in Kurkan that she didnt understand. Immediately, the Kurkans vanished, melting into the darkness.

“We will visit the Count.” Ishakan began to move, carrying Leah in his arms as he explained what they would do. Under the moonlight, Leah was quickly absorbed in her thoughts.

She had so many questions. She wanted to know what orders he had given the Kurkans, why they had been following Byun Gyeongbaek, and she wanted to tell him about the Toma woman she had met. The list of things she wanted to talk about kept growing.

But she didnt dare speak. The atmosphere was not welcoming. In spite of her curiosity, she lay silent in his arms until they reached the counts residence.

Count Weddlestons mansion had large gardens in the front and the back, but all the plants were dead. Under the dead flowers, brown and dusty earth was exposed. Behind the barren gardens lay a magnificent mansion, but there was a curiously hushed atmosphere even with all the lights on.

Leah gazed at the mansion, breathless. The mansion was just like the palace.

“There are often Tomaris…in the counts mansion,” murmured Ishakan, peering intently into the darkness. Tomaris who were denied entry to the palace were still welcomed at the counts mansion.
