Chapter 173 – Military Meeting (3)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Ishakan kept surprising her. Her lips moved soundlessly, unable to produce words, at such a loss that she tried and failed several times to come up with anything sensible. Finally, she asked the question.

“…Youre going to make me Queen of Estia?”

Unlike her hesitant question, his answer was firm.

“Yes. Its a wedding present, Leah.” Ishakan had decided from the beginning that he would give the country to her. She had left Estia, but her love for her country had not disappeared. Even if the royal family had fallen, she did not want her people to suffer.

That was why she was fully cooperating with their conquest. The Kurkans rule would be better for her people than tyranny under Blain, Cerdina, or Byun Gyeongbaek. At least this way, she had influence over the outcome. She believed that this would be the best scenario for Estia.

But Ishakans plans were beyond anything Leah imagined. Still frozen with shock, she looked at the Kurkans. None of them looked surprised. She finally spoke again, with some difficulty.

“But Byun Gyeongbaek was a present…”

“That was just a trinket.”

“……”

“You didnt like it?” Ishakan turned toward her, resting one elbow on the table and propping his chin on his hand. “If you want, Ill get you something else instead.”

Leah quickly shook her head, her heart pounding, and he laughed.

“I told you Ill give you anything you wanted.”

Really, there was no limit when he saidanything.

His golden eyes were so bright, and she felt her cheeks heat. Quickly, she lowered her head to hide her blush behind her curtain of silver hair.

In that moment, she truly understood the man she was going to marry.
