They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 110 - 110 Calmly Disappointed

Chapter 110: Calmly Disappointed Chapter 110: Calmly Disappointed “Princess Nnenna,” she began, her voice as smooth as ever, “you told me you had things to do during my class.

But my workers also informed me that you didn’t show up for their classes either.” Her tone was not accusing.

It was not angry.

It was worse.

It was calm.

Too calm.

Nnenna held her breath for a second before answering.

“Teacher Rose, the thing I had to do during your class… I also had to continue it after the other classes.” “I see,” Lady Rose said, her gaze sharp.

“And what exactly were you doing?” Nnenna hesitated for only a heartbeat before responding.

“I was taking hold of an opportunity,” she said, her voice steady, not sounding like a child at all.

“A chance to prepare for the grand ball in a way that will allow me to make excellent use of it.” She lifted her chin slightly, meeting Lady Rose’s gaze head on.

“What I’m doing now will help me seize that opportunity when the time comes.” For a brief moment, silence hung in the air.

Then, something flickered in Lady Rose’s eyes, something close to surprise.

Maturity.

She leaned back slightly in her chair, one eyebrow raised.

“So… what you are doing is so important that you cannot attend our classes?” “Yes,” Nnenna answered without hesitation.

A slow smile spread across Lady Rose’s lips.

But it wasn’t one of approval.

It was unreadable.

“That’s okay,” she said simply.

Nnenna blinked.

What?

“You can go now.” Just like that.

No scolding.

No lecture.

Lady Rose’s tone was as sweet as ever, but inside, she was disappointed.

Deeply disappointed.

But she did not argue.

She did not try to convince the girl.

Because if there was one thing she had started to learn from teaching students like Nnenna… You cannot force someone to do what they don’t want to do.

Lady Rose sighed internally.

She had always sought ways to motivate her students, to make them willingly strive for excellence.

But with the grand ball only a week away, she couldn’t afford to waste time figuring out how to push Nnenna in the right direction.

So, for the first time, she decided to let go of a student.

The disappointment she felt wasn’t just directed at Nnenna, it was also at herself.

She felt she had failed to inspire Nnenna.

She had failed to make her see the importance of her training.

And now, it was too late.

Shaking off her thoughts, Lady Rose turned her attention back to her work.

She reached for a book, flipping it open, ready to move on.

Then… she noticed something.

Nnenna was still seated.

Lady Rose glanced up, her brows slightly furrowed.

“Anything else, Second Princess?” Nnenna hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Teacher Rose… your classes are very important to me,” she said carefully.

The woman’s expression didn’t change.

“But,” Nnenna continued, “right now, what I’m choosing to do feels even more important.

That’s why I haven’t been attending.” Her voice was steady, but there was an almost pleading edge to it.

“I wouldn’t want to miss your classes if I didn’t have to,” she admitted.

Then, after a pause, she added, “If you don’t mind… I have a favor to ask.” She studied Lady Rose’s face, trying to read her emotions.

But the woman’s sharp eyes remained unreadable, her stern demeanor unshaken.

Still, she didn’t interrupt.

She was listening.

And Nnenna knew this was her chance, but she hesitated feeling unsure.

On the other hand, lady Rose waited to hear from the girl.

Although Nnenna’s request surprised Lady Rose, her expression remained calm.

But in her sharp eyes, a small flicker of hope ignited.

Finally.

“What is it, Princess Nnenna?” she asked when the girl didn’t speak for some seconds, her voice still composed.

Seeing that Lady Rose wasn’t against hearing her out, Nnenna took a deep breath and continued.

“I need you to train me at night.” Lady Rose “…” The words dropped like a bomb, momentarily stunning the older woman.

But she did not interrupt.

Instead, she listened.

“Teacher Rose, I want to make excellent use of this upcoming opportunity,” Nnenna explained.

“But the things I have to do during the day keep me from attending your classes and those of your staff.” She straightened, her voice unwavering.

“I need you to train me at night, along with any of your staff who are willing.

I don’t care if I have to stay awake for most of the night, I need to learn these things.” Her determined gaze locked onto Lady Rose’s.

For the first time in a while, Lady Rose smiled.

This.

This was what she had been waiting for.

The fire in the girl’s eyes.

The drive.

The Nnenna she had once believed in was back.

She had no issues training the girl at night.

None at all.

But Nnenna, unaware that she had already won, kept going, desperate to convince her.

“I really need these classes, Lady Rose.

Would you please help me?” Lady Rose let out a small chuckle before cutting her off.

“Yes, I’ll do you this favor.” Nnenna “…” I definitely didn’t hear that right!

But after few seconds, her eyes widened slightly when she saw Lady Rose was serious.

“Really?” “There’s no need to involve my staff,” Lady Rose added smoothly.

“I can teach you everything they can.” That made Nnenna blink.

“You know archery, horse riding, karate, all those activities?” She stared at the woman as if she had just grown wings.

Lady Rose simply smiled.

“Yes, I do,” she answered.

“I founded the academy.

I hired my staff, choosing to focus on ethics and etiquette while they handled the other disciplines.” She leaned back slightly, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

“I doubt any of them even know that I’m skilled in those things.” “But I didn’t want to be a jack of all trades, teaching everything at once when I could divide the work,” Lady Rose continued smoothly.

“So yes, I will teach you at night.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Your gift is the motivation for my creation.
