They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 137 - 137 Don't Let Me Down

Chapter 137: Don’t Let Me Down Chapter 137: Don’t Let Me Down The harp is elegant but complex.

The violin is expressive but demands precision.

The piano…” She trailed off, studying Nnenna’s face.

“What do you think?

If you had to learn one, which would you choose?” “I’m not sure,” Nnenna admitted.

“I haven’t had enough experience with any instrument to be able to choose.” Lady Rose sighed, but there was no disappointment in her expression, just understanding.

“It’s okay,” she said.

“At least you’ve agreed that dance and poetry are your strengths.

When the time comes, stick to what you know.

Don’t let anyone push you into doing something you’re not sure of.

Remember this.” Nnenna nodded.

She had learned many hard lessons over the years, and one of them was not to let herself be manipulated into competitions she had no business entering.

Her sister, for example, had been trained in music from before the age of six and was exceptionally skilled at multiple instruments.

If given the chance, she would likely try to push Nnenna into an unfair comparison, one that she couldn’t possibly win.

“I won’t let that happen,” Nnenna assured Lady Rose.

“I understand the risks, and I’ll make sure to stick to what I can do well.” Lady Rose studied her for a moment before nodding approvingly.

“Good.

Then we’ll continue refining your strengths.

If you ever change your mind and want to learn any instrument, let me know.” Lady Rose nodded in approval.

“Very good.

I hope you have dresses prepared?” she asked, expecting a simple “yes.” To her surprise, Nnenna hesitated.

“No, Teacher,” she admitted, turning away slightly.

Lady Rose “…” Lady Rose’s eyes widened in shock.

How can the King and Queen not provide their daughter with proper dresses for the grand ball?

The event would last nearly a week, and Nnenna would be appearing in front of not just their entire kingdom but neighboring kingdoms as well.

This is a serious oversight!

She had always considered the King of Lionara to be wise, at least to some degree.

But this?

This was unacceptable.

At the very least, he should have ensured Nnenna was well dressed for an event of this magnitude.

They truly failed her this time.

Lady Rose pressed her lips together in thought.

She had spent over a week training Nnenna, pushing her to refine her skills.

She had watched the girl grow stronger, more confident.

She wasn’t about to let all of that go to waste simply because she lacked something as basic as the right attire.

No, she decided.

I won’t let this stand.

Looking at Nnenna, she took a deep breath and said firmly, “Don’t worry.

We’ll handle this.” “Come to my room later,” Lady Rose said, turning to Nnenna.

“Let’s see if I can get some dresses for you.” Nnenna was momentarily speechless, but a wave of relief and gratitude washed over her.

“Thank you so much, Teacher Rose.

I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me.” Her voice was sincere, her eyes filled with appreciation.

Lady Rose gave a small nod.

“I know you do.

But the best way to show that appreciation is by giving this your all.” Her gaze turned sharp.

“I haven’t personally trained anyone in years, Nnenna.

You were born for greatness, but you must prove it.

Don’t let me down.” Nnenna met her teacher’s intense gaze, her heart pounding with determination.

“I won’t, Teacher Rose,” she said firmly.

Lady Rose studied her for a moment, then gave a slight, satisfied nod.

The fire in Nnenna’s eyes told her everything she needed to know, the girl was ready.

After the class, Nnenna returned to her small closet room under the stairs, only to freeze at the sight before her.

The king stood in the middle of the cramped space, his presence making the already tiny room feel suffocating.

He had let himself in with a key, one given to him by the housekeeper, without bothering to seek her permission.

“Where are you coming from?” His voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.

Nnenna met his gaze, unshaken.

“I was training.” “Training?” He narrowed his eyes.

“For what?” “For the Grand Ball, of course.” The king’s expression darkened.

“You’re skipping the training I prepared for you to run around in the middle of the night?” His voice was cold, laced with disapproval.

“What nonsense!” Nnenna’s hands clenched at her sides.

“I know what I’m doing, Father.” His jaw tightened.

He had expected her to cower, to offer excuses, but instead, she stood her ground.

He wanted to lash out, to remind her of her unseriousness, but he took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.

For a moment, silence stretched between them, thick with unspoken words.

“What do you want, Father?” Nnenna asked coldly, making no effort to soften her words.

The king’s expression remained unreadable.

“I heard you’ve been neglecting your studies,” he said.

“Running around on the training grounds instead of attending your lessons.

I thought you were smarter than this.” She gave no reaction, her silence unwavering.

His gaze hardened.

“I don’t care what you do as long as you don’t embarrass this kingdom, or your family.

So get your act together.” His voice carried a sharp finality, his patience wearing thin.

He exhaled sharply before continuing.

“I came here to inform you that you’ll be moving to a room upstairs before the Grand Ball.

A guest room has already been prepared for you.” He paused, his eyes locking onto hers.

“That’s where you’ll be staying, and that’s where everyone will believe you have been staying.” That finally got a reaction.

Nnenna’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening.

“So, you want me to move into a guest room, just for show?

Just so no one finds out that I’ve been living under the stairs for over a decade?” She let each word drip with deliberate weight, daring him to confirm it.

“Exactly,” the king said without hesitation.

“Hurry up and move.

In the past, no one would have cared where you lived, but now that you’re being introduced as my second daughter, you need to look and act the part.
