Chapter 1210:
“Everyone, if you don’t believe me, surely you believe in Mr. Pierce, the mayor? He’s always put Marehelm first. Do you doubt him as well?” I desperately hoped mentioning Dayton’s name would make a difference.
Then, an elder with silver hair stepped up, his gaze unwavering. “She’s right. Mr. Pierce genuinely cares about Marehelm. We should give them a shot.”
“Yes! Mr. Pierce would never hurt us!”
“Exactly!”
The elder’s words made a stir. Soft murmurs spread, and people started talking amongst themselves.
After the elder spoke, a brief sense of peace settled over the crowd, momentarily calming their anger.
“Still, why should we trust you?” someone shouted.
I could still sense the doubt in the air—those lingering feelings that chipped away at their belief in me and in the three princes.
I took a deep breath, understanding that to truly calm their fury, we had to address the real issue. Empty promises and words wouldn’t be enough; only real actions would show that we were genuine.
