The emissaries from Balkat had already arrived. After concluding their conversation with some Estian nobles, they immediately came forward to greet Leah and Ishakan.

Her eyes met Herods, who was approaching at the front of the delegation. Immediately, his eyes flashed a greeting, and Leah looked away, pretending not to have noticed.
