Chapter 299 – Babys Name (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Ishakan smiled faintly and kissed Leahs forehead as her eyes closed.

“I didnt know you were wondering about that.”

Of course she was. Whenever she was alone, she had thought about their babys name. But she had decided to keep the question to herself, though she knew Ishakan would have answered if she asked him. The reason she had waited to ask was simple: she didnt want to ask until after it was all over.

Today seemed like a good day. Leah had seen Cerdina with her own eyes. She probably wasnt dead yet; from now on, she would be in the hands of the Kurkans. She would only be allowed to die when Ishakan had been satisfied.

Leah would never have to look at her again. Cerdina had vanished from her life.

And now that the hard journey was over, she wanted to hear the name. Laying her hand on her swollen belly, she could feel the warmth of the life inside her against the palm of her hand.

“Lesha.” Ishakan whispered a name that joined their names together. “Should our child ascend the throne and inherit the name Kan, then he will be called Leshakan. I dont think it sounds bad…” He explained as Leah listened, and quickly added, “but if you dont like it, we can name our baby something else.”

He actually looked a little nervous. And Leah didnt dare to answer quickly or thoughtlessly, though she knew he was anxious for her response. Perhaps he had been thinking of this name for too long, and by himself, since Leah had lost her memory. Only he had known she was pregnant with his child…and had been choosing the name for their baby ever since.

Her heart ached, thinking of everything he had endured.

“I like it,” she said, her voice quivering.

He lifted a skeptical eyebrow.

“I really do. I really like it,” she assured him, and took his hand to lay it on her belly. “Tell it to the baby.”

He blinked in surprise, cautiously stroking as he looked down at her rounded belly.

“…your name…” He began stiffly, “is…Lesha.”
