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 at him and asked, "Was it you who tried to kill me?"
"Enough talk!" Wes snapped, his patience wearing thin. He pressed the knife closer to Arin's throat. "Get over here, I don't have time to waste!"
"Alright, just be careful with that knife, don't hurt her," Nina said, raising her hands and walking forward slowly.
Arin shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face. She struggled hard, her emotions running high.
Wes yanked the cloth from Arin's mouth, and she cried out, "Don't come over! They're after you. You shouldn't come out. I'm fine!"

Can you add more chapters per day please...
Don't tell me π€― Is Nina pharaoh's daughter?...
Meanwhile why is Nina playing hard to get? What else does she want from the man? I bet if Nash ever declares to kove the baby unconditionally she might soften up but lady just spill the secret he would be overjoyed!...
I see you increased the number of chapters per day by 2, but please can we have like 20 chapters per day? 7 chapters is too little, the suspense is just crazy...
Man forget Nina. Bring Nash to me. I'll be more than willing to be with such a handsome and rich++ husband. ππ...
