NovelEnglishChapter 1048
Hearing Micah's words, Arin had a few things she wanted to say.
However, before she could, Micah continued, "I've already made a promise to Freya. A man of his word must see
it through. Besides, | don't dislike her." Arin's breath caught in her throat.
Micah had kept women at a distance because of his sense of duty. But Freya was different. He did not mind
having her close, and she had always been by his side. The sayings, "familiarity breeds closeness" and "time
reveals true character," couldn't have been truer. Arin's heart ached intensely.
She was just a commoner, and her status was worlds apart from Freya's. Micah needed a partner who could
stand by his side as his equal, someone strong and capable, not someone like her, a nobody from the slums.
No matter how hard she had worked all these years, the vast difference in their social standing had never
changed.
"Teacher Micah, if she's the one you care about, then | wish you happiness. | hope you'll always be happy," Arin
finally managed to say.
"Thank you," Micah replied, genuinely appreciative.
Arin turned away, feeling the weight of her unfulfilled dreams. She had pushed herself so hard, trying to elevate
her status and prove herself, but now that her goal was gone, she felt utterly powerless.
As she left Micah's territory, she did not get far before a group of men intercepted her. They were taller, stronger,
and began closing in on her. Instinctively, she reached for her gun, but they were quicker.
A cold voice whispered in her ear as the barrel of a gun pressed against her head, "If you don't want to die, you'd

During the war, she had lived in
constant fear of gunfire, and her body still reacted with dread at the sight of a weapon. But this was Micah's
territory. She was a nobody,
and she could not afford to
trouble to him.
So, without a word, she followed their lead. After what felt like an
eternity of walking, they brought her to a small room. The men

Arin remained calm. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste twith threats," she said coldly.
A mocking laugh echoed in the room. "I expected you to be scared out of your mind, but you're staying pretty
calm. Impressive for a girl trying to win over Micah."
The voice was not too deep or old, but it had a mechanical quality to it. The man in front of her kept his face
hidden.
Arin frowned. "Who are you? What do you want with me? Why did you target me?"
She was just an insignificant figure, with no value to offer. She could not understand why they had cafter
her.

Arin knew better than to trust empty promises. There was always a catch. "And what's the price for your help?"
