Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Ishakan looked as if he regretted saying the words as soon as they came out. Lovingly, his hand brushed her face.

“…Im sorry.”

It was obvious why he tried so hard to hide this in his heart. He didnt want to pressure Leah to remember. He wouldnt have said it at all, if she hadnt regained control of her feelings. Ishakan would never have said a word, if she hadnt.

But now the wind blew a long gust, making Leahs nightgown ripple and her silver hair to flutter, and Ishakans voice cracked a little as he bent and whispered.

“Tell me you love me.”

Her heart ached. It was still difficult to express her true feelings, but until she was completely free of the spell, she would need to speak them clearly. Reaching for Ishakan, she hugged him and tried to make him believe it.

“I love you,” she said sincerely, and even rose up on her tiptoes to hold him tighter and comfort him. Ishakan smiled as she awkwardly kissed his cheek.

It made her smile, to see him smile. Ishakan kissed her forehead, a tickling brush of his lips, and when she reached to rub that place, he caught her hand and kissed that too. Everywhere he touched her tickled.

“Arrrrgh!”

All around Leah and Ishakan, they thumped to the ground like a hail of pecans. Among so many, Leah recognized a few faces, and as soon as Haban got up he immediately started apologizing.

“Im sorry! Im sorry! But I wasnt eavesdropping, I swear!”

“Then what?” Ishakan asked shortly.

“Huh… that is…”

“……”

Mura interceded, as Haban had obviously didnt know what else to say.

“We came because we were worried,” she said. “We were afraid you might do something to Leah. Last time you broke the bed!”

All the other Kurkans started talking at once.

“Exactly! We have to be careful, what if something serious happens?”
