Ishakan sighed, laying his forehead against Leahs.

“You cant say those things so carelessly.”

“I only say it to you.”

He smiled in satisfaction and set Leah back down on the floor.

“Ill be back soon,” he said. “I hope my wife will be, too.”

She told him goodbye with a smile.

Leah exited the palace with Mura at her side. Both women wore long hooded robes to hide their faces, and Leah had even drunk a potion prepared by Morga, to temporarily change the color of her eyes and hair.

It had been a long time since she had concealed her identity like this. Walking through the crowded shopping streets, Leah looked around her, watching carefully.

Estia had completely eradicated slavery, but unfortunately that had just created new problems. Merchants who had lost this source of income had turned to other ways to earn money.

The most worrisome problem lately was the counterfeiting of coins.

The counterfeit coins were made by melting down silver coins minted by Leahs government, then recasting them with additional substances. The counterfeit coins weighed the same as genuine silver coins, so they could not be detected even with scales. The only discernible difference was a slight lack of detail in the patterns on the counterfeit coin. It took an experienced eye to detect it.

Right now, they were investigating to see how prevalent the counterfeit coins had become. And as Leah had never been one to leave everything in the hands of her subordinates, Leah was investigating on her own.

She bought a few items from various stores, receiving coins in change. Fortunately, all the silver coins she received were genuine.

“Its hard…” Mura shook her head, following closely behind Leah were their purchases in her hands. She could not distinguish the counterfeit coins from the real ones. “Even the genuine coins will wear down over time. How can you tell them apart?”
