Chapter 840
Nina knew she was nothing special to Micah. She was just trying to test him.
Micah smiled, “I’ve already allowed you to search for your people. Once you find them, you can take them with you. But with the current turmoil, staying here is the safest option.” His voice was soft and raspy, his gaze fixed on Nina.
Behind her, Nash felt a surge of anger and a strong urge to pull Nina into his arms.
“Let’s go,” Micah said before Nina could respond.
He did not mention where he was taking her, but she knew it meant being separated from Nash. Micah would not bring Nash along.
Nina’s mind raced. “Micah,” she called.
He turned to look at her, his expression waiting for her to speak.
“I’m not sure I want to go wherever you’re taking me. Furthermore, going back and forth to search is quite troublesome.”
Nina knew she had no say in the matter, but she needed to test Micah’s intentions. She couldn’t just go without knowing where she was headed.
Micah’s expression remained neutral, but he kept an eye on Nash who stood there. Nash looked calm but his gaze was sharp and alert.
“Just come with me. You’ll be back soon,” Micah reassured.
“…Alright,” Nina agreed, reluctantly. She signaled to Nash, who did not want her to leave. What if he never saw her again?
“You come too,” Micah added, just as Nina was about to step forward. Nash was surprised but followed.
The distance to Pharaoh’s quarters was not far. Within minutes, Micah had brought Nina and Nash to him.
Pharaoh’s eyes narrowed when he saw Nina. He had not expected the woman Ivy brought back to be the same Nina he had met once before. Pharaoh asked in a low voice, “What’s your name?”
“I’m Nina,” she replied, introducing herself.
Seeing the black fanged mask and the luxurious surroundings, Nina knew this was Pharaoh.
To survive, they had to obey for now. But Nash was already calculating their next move.
Pharaoh gestured, and Micah cleared the room, including Nash, who had no choice but to leave. Nina’s suspicion and anxiety grew.
Pharaoh asked, “Where are you from?”
“Birkham,” Nina answered.
She instinctively clenched her fists, feeling a surge of anxiety as she faced this imposing figure and his barrage of questions. It was impossible not to be afraid. Pharaoh fell silent. “Birkham… what a coincidence,” he mused, especially since Nina’s face looked so familiar.
Nina stood there, feeling uneasy.
“What is your relationship with Micah?” Pharaoh had not forgotten her claim in the garden that she was with Micah.
Nina answered honestly, “We’re friends. We met in a village, talked a few times, and got to know each other. But your daughter sees me as her imaginary enemy.” Wasn’t that the truth? Ivy had targeted her constantly, wanting her dead.
She had learned quite a bit about this place and its workings since arriving.
