Ishakans reply echoed through the silent banquet hall. Judias face stiffened.

It appeared she hadnt expected him to reject her so openly. For the moment it took to compose herself, she couldnt speak.

“…I see,” she managed.

Her eyes shifted to Leah, pointedly observing her.

“I am pleased to meet the Queen of Estia,” she added with a smile. “I hope the Queen will allow friendly relations between Balkat and Kurkan.”

There was a ripple of murmuring at the provocation.

“I will allow it,” Leah replied, deadpan.

Judias eyebrow lifted.

“But unfortunately there are some things in this world that are impossible no matter how you try,” Leah sighed, laying her hand on Ishakans arm, which was wrapped tightly around her waist, and allowed a small smile, as if she were enjoying herself. “It looks like it will be difficult for you to get what you want.”

“……”

Judias eyes chilled, and her plump lips quivered once at the humiliation. But then she lifted her chin, as if nothing had happened.

“Thank you for your permission, Your Highness,” Judia said, and led the dancers back out of the banquet hall.

Instantly, there was an uproar.

Leah did not like that woman. She really believed she could achieve her goal by acting like a bitch. And as hostess of the banquet, Leah had to retrieve the situation.

“That was a wonderful show,” she said, looking at Herod instead of the retreating Judia. “I did not expect that from Balkat.”

Herod smiled. He seemed to have enjoyed watching his queens misfortune.
