4 days later.
Waiting in the enormous hall, Ian wired at every passing minute.
"He will listen!" Charlotte sitting beside him mumbled placing her hand over his shoulder.
"So you brought her to convince!" Steven's voice thundered him but he stayed calm, standing at his approach, he lightly bowed and charlotte huffed in annoyance.
"Let them," Cutting her off with a nod, Ian helped her sit back and he looked at his current bridge.
"I don't what threat I vow to her and what danger I should let her suffer. I cannot promise to meet all your expectations, but I will try my best."
Charlotte smiled and looked at Steven in hopes. His unaltered expressions made her sigh and she could only use her last card.
"Your beloved friend is counting his last days and his last wish is for our families to unite." Charlotte blurted out and it was too late for Ian to cover up.
Steven took a long breath and that confused Charlotte even more as she was expecting shock all over his face.
