The Kings office suited Ishakan perfectly. Everything was built to his size and seemed to reflect his nature, being composed of dark colors, quiet and cold, with small points of colored decorations. A normal person would feel somewhat uncomfortable sitting there.

But today there was a small vase on his desk, incongruous in the forbidding space. Every so often, Ishakan would look at the peony in the vase and smile to himself.

The white quill in his hand was made from the left wing of a swan. Common quills were made from goose feathers, and swan quills were considered superior in quality, with the left wing generally more expensive. The feathers on a swans left wing were slanted to the right and easier for right-handed people to use.

The price also depended on the size, and this batch of swan quills were a little smaller than usual. With a small dagger, Ishakan deftly trimmed the end of his quill.

“Where is Leah?” He asked.

“I took her to her room,” Haban answered quickly. “She was too tired. She fell asleep right away.”

He stood in front of Ishakan to make his report. They had used spells to try to find out what kinds of spells had been cast on Leah. Although the burden on her weakened body had been a little excessive, they had no choice.

“Morga said shell probably sleep for three or four days.”

The sound of the sharp blade trimming the end of the quill filled the office.

“The news,” Haban said after a long silence. “Will you tell her when she wakes up?”

“Probably.”

The King of Estia was dead. The news had come that morning by messenger bird. Ishakan had told Leah that the mornings tension was because of Byun Gyeongbaek, but though Leah might not have been close to the King of Estia, he was still her father. Ishakan knew he had to tell her, and he had really intended to do it today. After he had fed her a delicious lunch, he meant to carefully tell the news.
