"I'm not saying I don't support you being with Nina," Pharaoh began, his voice tinged with concern. "I'm just worried-" "No need to worry," Nina interrupted, quickly stepping forward to join them. "No matter what happens, we'll face it together." Nash's resolve remained unwavering, and Nina could feel the weight of his determination. She had been thinking about protecting him, but he had been thinking about protecting her.
If they both cared so deeply about each other, why not stand united and plan for the future together? Nina smiled softly at Nash, then intertwined her fingers with his. Pharaoh, seeing this, sighed and said, "You've made your decision, so I'll do everything in my power to support you. I won't bring this up again." "I can't cure the poison your father gave you, Nash," Pharaoh admitted, "but you can use this to your advantage, to draw him out." Pharaoh understood Dominic's actions. As a father, he could see why Dominic would push Nash so hard. If Nash refused to follow orders and stood against him, Dominic would see no reason to keep him alive.

"I saw the person you sent," Pharaoh said, getting straight to the point. "I know Salterra is struggling, and the Yaren Tribe is willing to provide supplies and resources." Pharaoh's only condition was that Dominic allow Nash and Nina to be together peacefully. But Dominic was more interested in having Nash lead Salterra, believing that Nash's leadership would elevate the nation. Despite this, Dominic was curious to see how far Nash could go before breaking.
"I understand your love for your daughter, but this is not up for negotiation," Dominic replied coldly before ending the call.
Pharaoh knew then that the only way forward was for Nash to confront Dominic himself.
