Chapter 897

“We would like to stay here for a while,” Micah proposed, seizing the opportunity.
Nash understood the real reason behind Micah and the Pharaoh wanting to stay. They hoped that proximity would allow them to win Nina over.
Before Nash could respond, Micah gestured for him to follow outside. Without a word, Nash signaled his subordinate to take care of the Pharaoh while he and Micah stepped out. Once outside the tent, Micah spoke frankly, “My father was deceived by Seth. He truly cares for Ivy. Given how close you and Nina are, could you help mediate between them?”
Micah looked at Nash with a hopeful glint in his eyes. Nash had not forgotten how Micah had helped both him and Nina during their time in the Yaren tribe. Without Micah’s assistance, their safe exit would have been impossible. However, Nash was not Nina. He could not make decisions on her behalf. He had already done that once previously and faced her resentment. After everything they had been through, he could not risk her blaming him again. Nash pursed his lips and spoke softly, “Nina’s stance is clear. I can’t help with this. If you want to stay and try to mend things, that’s your decision.”
Nina’s stance was clear, but Micah and the Pharaoh were her family. Nash could not just send them away.
Micah understood Nash’s neutral stance but saw it as an opportunity. If they could stay, they might have a chance to change Nina’s mind.
He didn’t push further on that topic and instead addressed another pressing issue. “The allied forces aim to seize control here. The Yaren tribe will undoubtedly respond with force. My father now realizes his mistakes, and with Seth gone, the internal chaos has subsided. If a battle ensues, we need your military support.”
Nash came here to maintain peace and seek a cure for his own poisoning. With Seth now aligned with the allied forces and bent on destroying the Yaren tribe, Nash knew he couldn’t let that happen.
“I won’t allow Seth to achieve that. I’ll consult with my superiors,” Nash said firmly, his expression resolute.
“Good,” Micah said no more.
Meanwhile, the Pharaoh encountered Wilfred. Unlike before, Wilfred approached him without hesitation or fear.
“Pharaoh,” Wilfred greeted him directly.
The Pharaoh had already heard about Wilfred helping Nina escape the Yaren tribe and his significant role in curing her poison.
He walked up to Wilfred, the usually imposing figure now bowing his head slightly in gratitude. “Thank you. Nina’s safety owes much to you.”
Wilfred’s eyes widened in shock. The once proud and untouchable Pharaoh was expressing gratitude to him. It was clear how much the Pharaoh valued Nina. Considering how far the Pharaoh was willing to go for Nina, nothing seemed impossible now. “Pharaoh, protecting Ivy is my duty. I’m just doing what I can to be of use,” Wilfred responded humbly.
