Nash had his soldiers around him and also sharp instincts, so Seth's attempt to harm him failed. However, in any battle, casualties were inevitable.Seth didn't care about Miranda, and while Nash knew she was no longer a useful hostage, he wouldn't spare her either.Seeing the unfavorable situation, Seth waved a white flag to negotiate with Nash. "Nash, you came here for peacekeeping, to find an antidote, and to locate Nina. You have no deep hatred for the Yaren tribe, and there's no unresolved enmity between us."I can help you meet your demands. I don't want to be your enemy."Seth's primary goal was to rule the Yaren tribe and become the master of this land. Opposing Nash without leverage made him the weaker party.Nash dismissed Seth's pleas. "I want Nina."The antidote? The war? Life and death? None of that mattered. He needed to see Nina safe in front of him. Everything else was secondary.Miranda's heart ached as she looked at Nash. She felt foolish, still caring for Nash
Nash pressed his lips together and made a gesture, signaling his soldiers to assist Micah and the unconscious Pharaoh. Micah was a key figure in the Yaren tribe, essential for its stability. If their actions could bring peace, it would be the best outcome.Nash then instructed James and Felix, "Search everywhere for Wilfred and Nina."Given the situation, with Wilfred having no phone and Nina potentially injured, and with Seth still on the run, there was a possibility Seth could reach Nina before Nash could. It was a scenario Nash didn't want to contemplate."Don't worry, Captain. We've already dispatched people. We won't let anything happen to Miss Nina," James and Felix assured him in unison.Micah saw the determination in Nash's eyes. They exchanged a look, but neither spoke further.Micah had noticed Nash's deep feelings for Nina, while Nash had sensed Micah and Wilfred's protectiveness over her. Nash had pieced together much of the story."Micah, we need you to take charge
"Did you really save me?" Nash's lips curled into a sneer before Miranda could finish her sentence.Standing before her, Nash's imposing tall frame loomed like a mountain, especially with the cold, dark glint in his eyes. In that moment, he exuded the aura of a high and mighty ruler, and Miranda found this version of Nash utterly unfamiliar.Even though Nash had always been distant and cold towards her, it had never felt like this. Nash knew enough about the past to see through her lies.It was no use lying anymore. Besides, Nash's indifference had only grown more apparent over time. She had given up."Does it really matter if it was me? Nash, your heart is all for Nina. But you know the obstacles between you two, don't you?" Miranda's smile widened.Nash said nothing, but the intensity in his eyes grew. As harsher punishments were inflicted on Miranda, Nash watched coldly. He did not need her to remind him of the differences between his and Nina's statuses.......Meanwhile,
If she could not survive, then that was her fate, and she would not burden anyone else.Wilfred noticed Nina's voice growing weaker. He shook her vigorously. "Nina, you need to stay awake. I know Seth used extreme methods on you, but please, you have to survive. With me here, I'm your best antidote. You'll be alright!"He shouted desperately, tears welling up in his eyes, but Nina had already closed her eyes, completely unresponsive."Damn it!" Wilfred cursed, his mind filled with images of Seth's face. He loathed Seth with every fiber of his being, wanting nothing more than to tear him apart. Seth had caused so much suffering, ruling the Yaren tribe for so long, even turning his own daughter into the Pharaoh's daughter, taking over her life.Seth still would not leave Nina alone. If it weren't for Seth experimenting on her and poisoning her, Nina would not be in this state.At that moment, Wilfred had only one thought which was to confront Seth and tear him to pieces. But right
Miranda still met her end, right in front of Nash.During those final moments, as the punishments inflicted upon her took their toll, she reflected on her long yet fleeting life. Given to Seth by her biological mother, she had endured a stint in the slave camp, suffering through brutal experiments. Even at the end, she never learned the identity of her real father. She died with a heart full of resentment.Her final words echoed in Nash's mind. "Nash, I was devoted to you for so long. You never looked at me because of Nina. Even in death, I curse you both. May you and Nina never find peace!"The punishments inflicted on Miranda were harsh but not intended to be fatal. No one expected her to die from anger and despair, coughing up blood.Nash remained unfazed by her words. He coldly ordered, "James, Seth likes his experiments, right? Find him and send Miranda's body back to him.""Captain, don't let Miranda's words get to you. She was just lashing out. If curses came true, we'd a
Seth craved power, and over the years, he realized more and more that Sally and he were not on the same path. Moreover, Miranda was just a love-struck fool, completely immersed in her infatuation. Initially, he intended to use Miranda one last time, but Nash and Micah ruined his plans. No, he hadn’t achieved his goals yet. He couldn’t die here, and he refused to spend the rest of his life on the run.Seth hung up on Sally and made a quick decision. If he couldn't make it in the Yaren tribe, he would seek out the allied forces.As he took a few steps forward, he noticed there were no footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Wes still standing there, staring blankly.Seeing Wes's dazed expression, Seth’s anger flared. "What are you standing there for? Do you have a death wish?"Seth could see Wes's feelings for Miranda with just one glance. A man aiming for greatness shouldn't be tied down by emotions. And right now, Wes was the only one left by his side.Head hung low, like
Nina did not wake up at first, so Wilfred kept talking in her ear, repeating his words over and over until she finally opened her eyes. She saw Wilfred in front of her, and clarity returned to her gaze. "Wilfred, where... where are we?"Wilfred did not immediately answer. His lips were pressed into a thin line. When he had first reunited with Nina, he thought she had lost her memory and forgotten their past. But now he realized something more troubling. Her memories were distorted."We're in a cave," he finally said. "You have a fever, and I couldn't keep moving with you. Nina, look at me. I have something important to tell you."Wilfred released Nina but kept a firm grip on her shoulders, his seriousness making her recognize the gravity of the situation. "What do you need to tell me?" she asked, seeing the weight of his expression.After a moment of silence, Wilfred began, He recounted the details. When he was enduring unbearable torture, Nina appeared, dressed in a spotless w
Moreover, Wilfred was risking his life to escape with her. He would not lie to her, but this only confirmed that she was Ivy. Any remaining illusions were shattered. She was Micah's sister, the Pharaoh's daughter. The Yaren tribe had committed so many atrocities, and they were enemies of Nash and his people.At this moment, she felt a lump in her throat, unable to describe her emotions."Ivy, I didn't want to tell you all this, but I couldn't let you remain trapped in someone else's memories," Wilfred said, gently stroking her head. He truly cared for her and only wanted the best for her, even if her heart belonged to Nash. For him, her well-being was all that mattered.Nina suddenly remembered the arguments she had with Nash about Zac. Realizing now that Zac never existed. It was either a figment of her imagination or someone else's memory.This realization was crushing. It wasn't empathy, it felt like a mental illness!Covering her face with her hands, tears streamed down her
