Chapter 396 – Snow in the Desert (24)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leah intended to see Morga to get the energizing potion and discuss her concerns about Lesha. A sorcerer like him might offer insights she hadn’t thought of.

“I’d prefer to dine outside the Royal Palace for a change.”

“I know a great place to eat.”

“Thank you.”

Leah decided to invite Genin along as well.

“Could we visit your house after this, Genin?”

Genin was so stunned she could barely respond at first.

“It would be my pleasure…”

Then, her eyes brightened as she asked eagerly,

“Today?”

“Yes.”

Having no pressing matters, Genin happily agreed. They planned to go straight to her home after seeing Morga.

Genin hurried to get ready, worried Leah might reconsider. Though her thoughts raced, her movements were still a bit clumsy.

Leah subtly fixed her outfit. Without Mura’s help, her look was slightly untidy as they left to meet Morga.

Not wanting to arrive without a gift, she brought some tea leaves.

In the Royal Palace, there was a section dedicated to the Sorcerers’ research, where Morga usually stayed. Though her visit was unexpected, he welcomed her warmly.

“Lady Leah!”

Morga immediately realized Mura wasn’t with her.

“It seems Mura went out with Haban.”

She accepted the potion with an uneasy smile.

After drinking the bitter liquid, Morga handed her a chocolate-covered date—a treat he’d prepared knowing her past reactions.

The sweetness helped mask the strange taste. She endured it only because the potion worked so well.

“Please, sit here.”

Morga had her sit down. He checked her pulse, took a blood sample, and added a drop to a bubbling cauldron of unknown ingredients.

“Your second child is healthy.”

Lesha had already foreseen the baby would be a boy. Morga added,

“You’re also in excellent health, Lady Leah. The birth should go smoothly.”

Leah praised the potion’s effects, then mentioned that Lesha had two visions on the same topic.

“You should eat the Red Blood Fruit. It seems Lesha’s abilities are advancing.”

“Absolutely!”

Morga grew excited at the mention of Lesha,

“Precognition is hard to control since it relies on intuition. Yet Lesha is directing his power intentionally.”

He believed Lesha could become a Great Seer. Leah stifled a laugh, picturing Lesha predicting breakfast. Then she voiced her deepest concern,

“I’m afraid Lesha will suffer because of this gift.”

She worried his extraordinary ability would bring him pain.

“I’ve wondered how other seers lived.”

She wanted to know the truth behind their legendary feats—whether their lives were as happy as their achievements, or if any had misused their powers and faced ruin. Most importantly, how could Lesha avoid such a fate?

Before he brought irreversible tragedy upon his family.
