There was no way he would send Leah back to Estia, even if it made her hate him. But now that she had decided to stay by his side, Ishakan didnt see any reason to keep her tied up. Ishakan kissed her wrist.

“First, you must eat,” he said. “You have slept for a long time, so I will bring light food.”

Ishakan exited the hut and immediately returned with a tray filled with food. But perhaps because he considered Leah a patient, this time he didnt bring food piled in high layers today. Leah laughed inside.

Ishakan sat in the chair beside Leahs bed and organized the food one course at a time. First, he placed some hot porridge before her, and then lined up the courses to follow in a line as she ate bit by bit.

Leah had been smiling as she watched Ishakan cutting tender veal into small pieces, but she suddenly darkened as memories came to her mind. From an early age, when her appetite had been at its peak, Cerdina had regulated her food. Leah had eaten in Cerdinas company at least once every two days, and every time it made her sick to her stomach. Eating was extremely stressful.

Cerdina had taught her a strict etiquette for eating. If Leah made the slightest mistake, Cerdina would stop eating immediately and hit her with a stick on the part of her arm hidden by the sleeve of her dress. And when Leah was too hungry and tried to eat more, Cerdina would laugh scornfully and point out the flaws in her body, pinching the flesh of her belly and thighs, even though Leah had a normal constitution as a child.

—I dont think you can currently consider yourself the Princess of Estia, Leah.

Cerdinas gaze was cold as she told Leah that she must always have a dignified appearance.
