Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Rummaging through the drawers of his office, Ishakan searched for ointment. Leah had fragile skin. He wanted to treat it properly.

She sat on his thighs in her nightgown as he gently applied the ointment to the bruises on her arms, then kissed her cheek.

“I always go too far when it comes to you,” he said.

“Im sorry. I didnt mean to worry you…”

Leah bit her lip, and his long finger reached to brush her lips apart, smoothing away the bite.

“You dont need to apologize,” he said, and toppled her onto the couch, spreading her legs apart. His voice was mischievous. “I plan to do a lot of things I will have to apologize for.”

Seated on the windowsill, Ishakan held his long pipe in his fingers. The Kurkans stood nearby, their faces tense as he smoked.

After a painful silence, the door opened, and Mura cautiously entered.

“……”

Slowly, Mura approached until she stood in front of him, and Ishakan waved a hand silently. The Kurkans left the room at once, leaving Mura behind.

Immediately, she dropped to her knees, her head bowed as she awaited his judgment.

“Leah had marks on her arms.”

Muras face went pale.

The air in the room weighed down on her shoulders as if it had taken tangible shape, and Muras lips moved slowly, the words working past the tightness in her throat.

“Ishakan…”

A shiver ran through her as if she had taken a chill, and tears welled in her eyes. Ishakan lifted his pipe to his lips, looking coolly at the shaken Mura.
