They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System -
Chapter 144 - 144 Second Princess Nnenna
Chapter 144: Second Princess Nnenna Chapter 144: Second Princess Nnenna She sighed.
No one had ever cared about what she wore before, why start now?
Whether it was a test, a game, or something else entirely, she would play along.
At least for this grand ball.
With that decision made, she quickly freshened up and pulled out the outfit labeled for welcoming the guests.
It was time to step out.
Nnenna sat at her dressing table, carefully dusting a light layer of powder onto her face.
She did not apply much, just enough to smooth her features and add a soft glow to her skin.
Then, with a quiet breath, she reached up and let her hair fall freely over her shoulders.
It cascaded down in soft waves, framing her face in a way that set her apart from the rest of her family.
It was one of her most striking features, something undeniably hers.
She turned to the standing mirror, her eyes scanning her reflection.
For a moment, she simply stared, taking in the image before her.
She looked… different.
Not just because of the dress or the way her hair fell, but because of the quiet confidence that settled in her expression.
A small smile formed on her lips.
She was ready.
She hurried down the grand staircase, her steps quick but controlled, her heart pounding slightly at the realization that everyone was already at the front, welcoming guests.
No one had thought to inform her.
Had they forgotten her on purpose?
Brushing the thought aside, she picked up her pace, making her way toward the castle’s main doors.
The moment she stepped forward, the soft hum of conversation wavered.
A ripple spread through the gathered crowd as heads began to turn in her direction.
Gasps filled the air.
The towering front doors framed her silhouette, and for a moment, it felt as though time had slowed.
Eyes locked onto her, some trailing over the fine craftsmanship of her dress, the elegant embroidery, the luxurious fabric that caught the light just right, while others simply stared at her, captivated.
Even those who hadn’t yet reached the entrance from their carriages leaned forward, craning their necks to get a better look at the girl who had just stepped into view.
Nnenna swallowed, suddenly hyper aware of the attention.
This was unexpected.
Nnenna’s dress was a rich emerald green, crafted from a smooth, high quality fabric that gleamed under the soft castle lights.
The bodice was tailored to fit her perfectly, with intricate gold embroidery swirling across the neckline and waist, adding a touch of regal sophistication.
The sleeves were delicate and fell just at her shoulders, designed with subtle draping that enhanced her graceful posture.
The skirt was full and flowing, cascading down in gentle waves that moved elegantly with every step she took.
At the back, a soft, sheer overlay extended slightly beyond the hem, adding depth and refinement without being overly extravagant.
The gown was dignified yet effortlessly captivating, modest, elegant, and befitting someone meant to stand out in the grand welcoming of the late morning.
She looked up and saw that the royal family being greeted was none other than the King of Roxurun, his elegant queen by his side, their only daughter, and two sons.
The princess, a girl with striking features, appeared to be around Nnenna’s age, perhaps a year younger, while the two princes stood at different stages of youth, one in his late teens, carrying himself with quiet authority, and the other, barely in his teens, his curious eyes darting around excitedly.
Nnenna recalled reading about them on the internet, how Roxurun’s royal family was known not just for their wealth and influence but also for their strong ties to international diplomacy.
They were a family watched by many, admired by all.
And now, standing before them, she felt their eyes appraising her just as she had once studied their pictures and achievements.
She stepped forward with quiet confidence, her every movement poised and graceful.
The lingering shock in the air was almost tangible, whispers hushed, gazes locked onto her, admiration mingled with curiosity.
Yet, she paid no mind to the stares.
“Good morning, Father, Mother, Sister, Brothers… and Your Majesties,” she greeted, her voice clear and respectful as she turned to the royal family of Roxurun.
Silence followed.
For a moment, no one spoke, as if the entire gathering had momentarily forgotten how to respond.
Then, the Princess of Roxurun, still mesmerized by the breathtaking dress before her, the most exquisite gown she had ever laid eyes on, gave her father a small nudge, snapping him out of his daze.
“Oh!
Yes, good morning, Princess…?” King Rock of Roxurun responded, his brows furrowing slightly as he took an extra moment to search his memory, trying to place the unfamiliar yet utterly unforgettable face before him.
“I am the second princess of Lionara.
Princess Nnenna.” Her words sent a ripple of shock through those close enough to hear.
Gasps and murmurs spread like wildfire.
The second princess?
Since when did the King of Lionara have a daughter this grown?
Where had she been all these years?
No balls, no royal visits, no public appearances, how had she remained hidden for so long?
King Ikechukwu, seeing the stunned faces around him, stepped forward with pride swelling in his chest.
His adopted daughter had captivated everyone the moment she arrived, and he couldn’t have been more pleased.
Her beauty, her elegance, it was undeniable.
With a proud smile, he cleared his throat and spoke.
“This is my second daughter,” he announced.
“She has always been quite shy from a young age, preferring to stay away from public gatherings.
But today, on her sixteenth birthday, I decided it was time for her to be introduced to everyone.” As the whispers intensified, the King glanced at his wife, silently pleased.
He assumed she was the one who had ensured their daughter was well prepared, dressed in a way that left no doubt of her royal status.
