Leina paused for a moment, staring into Nolan's purple eyes.
They looked calm, like the ocean at noon. However, anyone sensitive enough could sense that behind that calm lay something far more terrifying.
As someone highly sensitive, Leina could clearly feel the danger.
She wanted to refuse, but the words stuck in her throat.
After a long moment of consideration, she nodded weakly and replied, "Okay, I… agree…"
Jisha, sitting beside her, was shocked. Leina should have known how detrimental those terms were to the Kingdom of Kaldarion.
Still, she understood that protesting was pointless. Her duty was only to escort Leina to negotiate with Nolan—nothing more.
Sharon and Cassiopeia exchanged meaningful glances. At last, what they wanted could become reality.
Although they had to overcome many obstacles and endure long patience, the outcome was extremely satisfying and beneficial for them.
Nolan was not surprised by the acceptance. On the contrary, he had expected it.
