Ishakan and Leah ran into Margrave Obrede during their night out in the previous chapter. Readers are curious to find out if Leah would get caught in Predatory Marriage, Chapter 16.
Ishakan took Leah away from her castle. She thought that he had captured her, but she felt happy. Ishakan knew that Estia Leah’s silver hair indicated that she was from a royal family.
Leah did not expect that he would take her there. Ishakan lent her his cape so that others would not notice her. It would have been dangerous for them if rumors started spreading around about her and someone followed them through. Ishakan informed her he wanted to go sightseeing around the empire.
But a rural tribesman like him did not know much about the empire. That’s why he thought it would be a good idea to bring Leah with him. Leah could not believe that he snuck into the castle just for that reason.
Ishakan told her it was not a big deal for him since he was used to sneaking into the enemy’s base camps. Leah told him he had to be very courageous to do that.
She mentioned that it was quite a bold move for Ishakan, as things could have gone very badly for him. Leah told him she was safe since she had snuck outside of the castle before.
However, there was going to be a banquet in Ishakan’s honor early in the morning. Ishakan promised her he would drop her off at the castle before sunrise.
He mentioned that, until then, she had to keep him company. It was the first time Leah had been to that kind of place, and she was wondering if people came there every day.
Recap
Ishakan gave her some snacks to eat, and Leah was more than happy to try those snacks. But Ishakan was a bit surprised since he thought that Leah would not eat anything unless he gave her something.
Leah had to wear the dress Serdina had prepared for her, and she considered that she should not eat anything after enduring so much because of that.
As she was going to gain weight after eating, she decided to take one bite. It was delicious, savory, and sweet at the same time, so she ended up eating all of it.
Ishakan was curious if the Estia royal family did not have any money. He believed that just selling one painting in the mansion would be enough to buy Leah food.
Leah realized after eating that she should not have eaten all of it. Ishakan told her she should not be too concerned about eating some snacks.
Leah told him she had to wear a dress for the banquet, and Ishakan assured her she would fit into that dress just fine. Leah was wondering why Ishakan constantly wanted to break her guards.
She was not sure why he was always trying to see through her. Leah wanted to know if Ishakan was genuinely being nice to her or if he just wanted her as a companion.
Ishakan told her she could talk comfortably to him, as when it was just the two of them. She did not have to act like a princess, but since Leah had lived her entire life like that. She was not sure if it was okay for her to put her guard down.
