They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 129 - 129 Chain Reaction 2

Chapter 129: Chain Reaction 2 Chapter 129: Chain Reaction 2 Without wasting any more time, she hurried toward Nnenna, calling out with what she hoped was respect.

“Second Princess!” she called as she approached the middle of the training ground.

Nnenna, who had no intention of stopping, kept walking.

“Second Princess, please wait!” That made Nnenna pause.

With a sigh, she turned slightly, her expression unreadable.

“What is it?” she asked.

The maid swallowed before speaking.

“Second Princess, I want to be your personal maid.

I know you don’t have one, but if you ask your father for one, he would approve it.

I want it to be me.” Even now, her words and tone did not match how a personal maid should speak to her mistress.

There was no true reverence, no humility.

Nnenna narrowed her eyes.

Nnenna was stunned.

What was this person even talking about?

She folded her arms, raising a brow.

“So you want me to go to my royal father and ask him to make you my personal maid?

Aren’t you my sister’s personal maid?” The girl nodded quickly.

“I was, but I quit so that I could serve you instead.

Everything I said before is true.

They” she gestured in the direction of the inner part of the training ground, “are not true royals.

They don’t behave like true royals.

But you…” she trailed off, then smiled sweetly, “I would rather serve you because you are a true royal in character.” Her tone dripped with flattery, the same kind that usually worked on the other royals.

Nnenna, however, was unimpressed.

She tilted her head slightly, regarding the girl.

“You just said I don’t behave like the other royals.

If that’s the case, then you should already know, flattery does not work on me.” The maid “…” The maid’s smile faltered.

“Everything you said earlier was meant to go against me, but somehow, it ended up working in my favor.

And now, you’re standing here, pretending you wanted to help me in the first place?” She shook her head.

“I don’t think so.” “You’re right, Princess.” The girl decided to retreat a bit.

“But I meant those things.

I really admire you!

I just had no choice but to say those things to keep my job.” She tried to explain, her voice taking on a desperate edge as she attempted to appeal to Nnenna’s sympathy.

“Being a maid, especially a servant to a princess or prince, pays much more than other roles in the castle.

I have to do everything I can to keep the job,” she continued, her expression earnest.

“I’m an orphan, and I really need this money to build something for myself before I get too old.” Nnenna studied her, her face unreadable.

“So the only reason you said those things was to please your master, and you didn’t mean them, right?” she asked, as if she were genuinely considering the girl’s words.

“Yes!

Yes, exactly!” The maid answered quickly, relief washing over her as she rejoiced inwardly.

She had done it, she had convinced the Second Princess!

But the very next words from Nnenna shattered her fragile hope.

“Doesn’t that mean you could also do anything against me to please them if they ever decide to use you again in the future?” The girl “…” The girl stood frozen, unable to answer for several minutes.

Her mind raced, searching for a response, but Nnenna had already lost interest.

She had wasted enough time entertaining this conversation.

“Look, I know that you’ve been fired,” Nnenna said bluntly, her sharp gaze cutting through the girl’s pretense.

The maid flinched, her embarrassment deepening as she realized she had been exposed.

“You think that by working for me, you can regain a good position and maybe even win their favor back.” Nnenna’s voice was calm but firm.

“But you need to understand something, I am not like them.

And in fact, I am better.” There was no arrogance in her tone, just unshakable confidence.

“So,” she continued, her expression unyielding, “you have twenty more minutes to leave the castle before the punishment comes.” With that, she turned on her heel and walked away, leaving the stunned and humiliated servant girl standing there, speechless.

Nnenna hurried back to her room, eager to rest, eat, and then go out to earn good points.

She reached her room in less time than usual, it seemed her training was already paying off.

Even her brisk walking had become noticeably faster.

Collapsing onto her bed, she took a short rest, then ate quickly before preparing to leave.

By 3 p.m., she stepped out of her room, knowing she had only four hours to complete everything and return before her next lesson at 7 p.m.

She was in a hurry.

Taking the secret passage, she emerged once again in the bustling market.

As she approached the old man’s shop, she was surprised by what she saw from a distance.

The place was thriving, not only was the inside packed with customers, but even the area outside was crowded with people waiting for their orders.

Business was booming.

She even spotted new faces working in the shop, serving food and handling money, a clear sign that they had been able to hire more help.

A small smile tugged at her lips.

It looked like her previous assistance had truly made a difference.

Nnenna had no plans to stop and greet them.

Her goal was to help new people, not just focus on those she had already assisted.

Just as she was about to turn away and leave, something caught her eye.

She watched as the old man quietly led a group of five children to the back of the shop.

Curiosity sparked in her, and she decided to follow discreetly, making sure to stay out of sight.

When she finally peeked around the corner, what she saw filled her heart with warmth.

The old man was distributing food to the children, bowls filled with steaming meals, fresh from the same food he prepared for paying customers.
