The arrow had lodged itself firmly in a tree. Even though it was now stuck there, Nina was still shaking with fear, unable to calm down. Micah furrowed his brows, looking into the depths of the forest. The assailant, realizing their plan had failed, quickly retreated, not wanting to be discovered."Are you okay?" Micah asked, his concern evident.Nina's eyes were wide with shock. The arrow had been aimed directly at her head, clearly intended to kill. Despite the heavy presence of soldiers in the village, someone had still tried to take her life. Who had she angered to such an extent?"Nina," Micah called again, breaking her out of her daze."I'm fine," she replied, though her voice trembled slightly.Micah released her, and she walked over to the tree, pulling the arrow free. It seemed like an ordinary arrow, giving no clues about its origin."You sensed something was wrong earlier, didn't you?" Nina asked, realizing Micah's earlier words had been a warning."I felt something

Nina's attention to Micah irked Nash. He asked, "Why were you with him all afternoon?""I told you, I fell asleep there," Nina replied.Nash couldn’t understand, "Why didn’t you come back if you wanted to sleep? Being alone with him can cause rumors."Nina didn't like his tone, "How are we alone? There were kids there. Besides, Micah and I are just friends. Who cares what others say? This isn't the old days. Why are you being so old-fashioned?"Nash pursed his lips, his expression darkening."And you disappeared early this morning. Your people couldn’t find you, so I had to do something on my own. Is that wrong?""Fine, let's not argue."Nina sensed that continuing would only make things worse."I don’t want to argue with you," Nash said softly, trying to calm her.His tone was gentle, showing he didn't want to upset her. This softened Nina's anger, and when he knew how to back down, she couldn't stay mad. "I was with Arin. Micah asked me to stay and teach the kids after he le

Nina noticed that Micah had left, so she walked over to his desk. There were several notes and some foreign books. As she flipped through the pages, a bookmark fell out. The bookmark itself wasn't particularly special, but the design on it seemed oddly familiar. She thought for a moment and realized that it matched the symbol on the clothing of the people who had chased her and Scarlett.Nina was shocked. Could this really be a coincidence? The symbol must be some kind of mark. Could it be that Micah was actually connected to the Pharaoh?"The noodles are ready," Micah said, bringing two bowls of plain noodles to the table. "Come eat."Nina quickly hid the bookmark in her sleeve and said, "Okay."They sat across from each other, the simple noodles served with a single egg. It looked very plain."I'm not much of a cook, but I hope you don't mind," Micah said softly.Nina took the utensils and started to stir the noodles, her eyes lingering on Micah. He ate his noodles quietly,

Nash's eyes darkened. Last night, his condition flared up, so he couldn't be with her. He apologized, "I'm sorry.""I don't want an apology," Nina said, letting go of him.Nash pulled her back, "We were both angry last night. I was afraid we'd fight, so I waited for you to calm down before coming to you."Nina, in his arms, gazed into his eyes. He couldn’t hide the truth in his eyes. Relationships would need time to adjust and he didn’t fully understand what was on her mind.Nina spoke, "Next time I'm mad, you need to comfort me. It doesn’t matter if it works right away. You need to try. When I ask you to comfort me, it doesn't mean I'll instantly forgive you. But if you don't even try, it shows you don't care about me. Over time, I'll start to think you don't love me."Nash was taken aback, "Is that how it is?"Nina sat down, "You didn’t know? Women may not say it, but they have a lot on their minds.""Lesson learned," Nash replied. "I don’t have much experience. If I do someth

Her expression hardened. Instead of retreating, she stepped forward boldly, stopping a few paces ahead, and said coldly, "Come out, I know you're nearby!""Mmph... mmph..." A muffled sound came from behind a large tree.Arin emerged, her hands bound, her face pale, struggling desperately with tears still in her eyes. Behind her was a man who sneered at Nina, "I've been waiting for you. If you don't want her to die, come here quietly and don't make a sound."Nina laughed, "You've gone to great lengths to catch me. If you'd just told me you wanted me, I would've come without all this trouble.""In the village, it wasn't easy to catch you. We had to use some tricks," Wes sneered.The previous assassination attempt by Wes had failed. If they had gone into the village, they would have been swarmed and killed before they even found Nina. He had timed Captain Nash's departure perfectly and knew that Arin and Nina were close. This allowed him to capture Nina successfully.Nina looked a
