They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 128 - 128 Clueless

Chapter 128: Clueless Chapter 128: Clueless The words cut like a blade, sharp and precise.

But Nnenna… she didn’t flinch.

She just stood there, her expression unreadable.

Let them talk.

Let them whisper.

She had no intention of answering to fools.

“Why else?” a maid suddenly spoke up, her voice laced with scorn.

“Obviously, she doesn’t want to give up the position.

Do you know how lucky she is that the king went to an orphanage and chose her?

It’s not like he was lacking a daughter.

He already had a fine one, a multi talented, beautiful, and truly noble daughter.” Ebere’s personal maid was quick to chime in, her words dripping with admiration as she praised her mistress.

“Yes!

And the king just went back and picked another out of pity,” another maid added.

“She should be grateful!

Who in their right mind would give up such an opportunity?

To leech off a prosperous kingdom like this?” “If I were her, I wouldn’t leave either,” another servant scoffed.

“I would stay and try my best to fit in, even if it meant acting like a servant just to keep my place.” “That’s why she keeps trying to help with preparations for the ball,” Ebere’s personal maid interjected, rolling her eyes.

“Some foolish servants even call her benevolent!

A true princess, they say.

One who actually behaves like a royal, since a real royal is supposed to serve and not just be served.

They’re completely deceived!” She turned and glared pointedly at Nnenna, her voice growing louder so that everyone could hear.

“And yet, they dare to call the first princess arrogant and haughty?

As if she doesn’t know how to be a proper royal?

What ignorant words!” Her declaration rang through the air, thick with judgment.

But instead of the satisfying smile she expected from Ebere, something strange happened.

Ebere… glared at her.

An intense, sharp glare.

As if she had been dreading to hear those words all along.

Ebere’s personal maid widened her eyes, realizing too late that she had said something wrong.

Even Abuchi, Obinna, and Chidera stiffened, an awkward silence settling between them.

Obinna’s expression darkened.

He had already made up his mind, once they got back, that maid would be fired.

But before any of them could say anything, a loud sound broke through the tension.

Laughter.

Nnenna laughed.

Not just a small chuckle, but a full, carefree laugh that rang across the training grounds.

Their faces darkened further.

The maid, seeing their displeasure, quickly tried to salvage the situation.

“Why are you laughing?” she snapped.

“Servants?

A princess?

A true royal should know they don’t belong with commoners.

They should know their place!” She pointed accusingly at Nnenna.

“But you… you always mix with the servants, always painting yourself with them.

Then again, you don’t even have royal blood, do you?

That’s why you don’t understand what it means to stay above them.

That’s why you don’t know how to stand apart.” Her voice turned smug, as if she was making an undeniable point.

“Princess Ebere and the princes understand this.

That’s why they never bother to help the servants.

But you?

Every chance you get, you try to help.

You behave like someone who doesn’t belong.” She smirked.

“Because you don’t.” A hush fell over the area.

The servants “…” Obinna “…” Abuchi “…” Ebere “…” Chidera “…” Everyone was stunned into silence.

Even the other servants hesitated.

They wanted to remind the maid to watch her words, but no one dared.

What was she saying?

Was she implying that the other royals were arrogant and haughty?

That they didn’t deserve their titles?

And that Nnenna.

the one without royal blood, was the only one who truly acted like a princess?

She should hear herself!

Some of the servants murmured in hushed tones, exchanging nervous glances.

Meanwhile, Nnenna only laughed louder.

It wasn’t forced or bitter, just pure amusement.

She shook her head, a small smile still on her lips, and turned away, not bothering to answer.

Let them stew in their thoughts.

Indeed, all things work together for the good of those who love God, called for his purpose and do what is right.

She didn’t even have to use good points.

The truth had spilled from the girl’s lips all on its own.

And now, the damage was done.

The faces of the royals darkened one by one.

A storm was coming.

Obinna couldn’t take it anymore.

Why wait until they were back in the castle?

He turned sharply to Ebere’s personal maid, not even bothering to ask Ebere for permission.

“You are fired.” The maid “..?” His voice was cold, final.

“Get out of the castle in less than 30 minutes.” His gaze darkened further.

“If I see you after that, you will be punished immediately.” The maid’s heart dropped.

She wanted to beg, to plead, to explain herself.

But when she looked around, she saw nothing but cold indifference.

Her fellow servants had already turned away.

No one would speak for her.

No one dared.

Realizing she was truly alone, she spun around and ran.

She didn’t understand.

It made no sense.

She had been defending them, speaking up for them, so why were they angry?

This is unjust, she thought bitterly.

As she rushed back to pack her things, she was so lost in frustration that she almost didn’t notice when she ran straight into Nnenna.

Her breath caught as she stared at the girl.

For a moment, she hesitated.

Should she ask for help?

Would Nnenna even help her?

After all, she was just a washed up princess.

A girl with no royal blood.

Could she even do anything?

Well, she is better than nothing, the maid thought internally.

She did not want to lose her job at the castle.

She had come in at the age of eighteen from the orphanage, having no parents and nowhere else to go.

The castle had always paid well, and if she lost this position, what was she supposed to do next?

She had to do something.
