"No way!"
A loud commotion echoed through the Governor's Keep.
"How could you send Matteo alone to another island?! Even if we need to buy materials, we could send someone else instead, couldn't we?" Allyson glared at Bram, looking like she was about to take a swing at him.
Negotiating for supplies on another island wasn't a simple errand, yet Bram had suggested Matthew handle it as though it were routine.
"Governor, no one on this island aside from Mr. Larden can successfully procure the materials from a place like Ore Island," Bram responded, unfazed by Allyson's anger.
Despite her fury, Bram didn't show a trace of regret. They were but a nameless island, barely worth mentioning in the West Montiria Islands. Sending anyone else to negotiate with an island as resource-rich and powerful as Ore Island would be a fool's errand.
On this entire island, only Matthew had the strength, skill, and enigmatic reputation to stand a chance. If anyone could secure the needed materials, it would be him.
Bram wasn't being deceitful—he did know Angus. But their acquaintance was from years ago and limited to only a few fleeting interactions. Whether or not Angus would help now was entirely up to Matthew's abilities.
"Governor, it's time we gave this island a proper name," Bram said, changing the subject. "The old governor never named it, but you can't delay this any longer."
Allyson hesitated, her frustration momentarily giving way to contemplation. It was true—her father had never named the island, and it had always puzzled her. Now that it was her responsibility, she couldn't keep procrastinating.
