They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 171 - 171 Disgrace

Chapter 171: Disgrace Chapter 171: Disgrace “You couldn’t even win against my youngest sister, what makes you think you qualify to race me?” Somto with a scoff at Minjun’s guts.

Minjun “…” The crowd howled.

Minjun’s face burned.

But before he could say anything, Nnenna turned to him.

And for the first time, she spoke directly to him.

“You gave up too easily,” she said simply.

And then she turned away Leaving him completely and utterly disgraced.

She had noticed Minjun’s tricks when he raced with Prince Ankhbayar, but if she had called him out for cheating, many people wouldn’t listen or care, so she decided to crush him taking advantage of his overconfidence.

Minjun had served himself on a plater of gold when he defeated Prince Ankhbayar falsely.

At that point, everyone assumed he was the best out of all the princes so Nnenna thought, why not use him to prove her skills and disgrace him while she was at it?

If she had raced with only princesses, everyone would assume she was only the best at that level but she wasn’t.

Lady Rose’s teachings wasn’t to make her the fifth best in the land, but the first!

So she confidently raced.

And most importantly she had avenged her friend!

She looked towards the stands where Roxurun royals sat and nodded at Prince Ankhbayar then Lady Rose who was at Lionara’s stand looking so proud of her.

The echoes of the cheering crowd still hung in the air.

But as the excitement settled, so did the weight of what had just happened.

Minjun had lost.

To a princess.

And not just any princess, Lionara’s youngest princess.

Minjun’s fingers twitched at his sides, his nails pressing so deeply into his palms that they nearly drew blood.

He wasn’t looking at the celebrating crowd.

He wasn’t looking at the kings and queens discussing the race.

His entire focus was on her.

She had humiliated him.

No, she had done worse than that.

She had seen through him.

Through his tricks.

Through his tactics.

Through everything he had prided himself on.

And she had defeated him without mercy.

Minjun’s breathing was steady, too steady.

His lips curled into a slow, almost lazy smirk.

But his eyes His eyes were ice cold.

“I’ll take something from you too, Princess.” His words were so soft, barely above a whisper.

But they carried weight.

His brother, who stood beside him, turned slightly.

“What did you say?” Minjun smiled.

“Nothing.” But in his mind, the thought repeated.

I’ll take something from you.

Something you won’t be able to get back.

The tension in the air had shifted.

Not everyone noticed.

But one person did.

Arthur.

His eyes flickered towards Minjun for a moment.

And in that short second Their gazes locked.

Arthur said nothing.

But the silent warning in his expression was clear.

I see you.

Minjun held the gaze for a second longer.

Then, he chuckled and turned away.

Arthur didn’t follow.

But he was watching.

He would always be watching.

Not far from the royal seats, Ebere stood still.

Her fists were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palm.

Again.

Nnenna had done it again.

The cheers, the attention, the respect, it should have been hers.

She had begged their mother to let her take their first brother’s place in the first race.

That should have been her moment.

She was the one who had won a competition against a prince first.

She had been the first princess to compete.

And yet Yet Everyone only saw Nnenna now.

Her mother’s face was unreadable.

Her father’s expression was neutral.

Even her brother, Obinna, only smiled slightly as if he wasn’t surprised by Nnenna’s victory.

Even though she knew he was, but was covering up for the camera and guests.

Ebere hated that.

Why?

Why can’t they show their surprise for the world to see that Nnenna wasn’t that great?

Why did they pretend like they expected Nnenna to do something like this?

Like it was normal for her?

Her heart burned with resentment.

She wouldn’t say it.

She wouldn’t show it.

But the bitterness curled around her like a shadow.

Nnenna.

Nnenna.

Nnenna.

She would make sure that name wasn’t the only one people spoke about.

Even if it was the last thing she did.

As Nnenna rode back toward the starting point, her hair flowing behind her and her expression unreadable, Minjun’s hands tightened into fists.

He watched her, the girl who had made a fool of him.

The cheers were still loud.

But Minjun wasn’t hearing them anymore.

He had planned everything carefully.

And yet, she had escaped him.

Fine.

Then she wouldn’t escape this.

With a slow, subtle movement, Minjun raised two fingers, the agreed upon signal.

A hooded figure in the crowd, hidden between the nobility and the lesser royals, responded immediately.

The dart was already prepared, coated with a poison just enough to take care of a horse or a human being.

Just enough to throw Nnenna off.

And then?

She would fall.

She would fall in front of everyone.

She wouldn’t die, but she wouldn’t walk away unscathed, either.

Minjun’s lips twitched upward.

‘Let’s see how graceful you are when you’re covered in dust.’ The figure raised the blowgun to his lips.

But just as he exhaled A shadow moved.

Someone brushed past him, knocking his arm at the perfect moment.

It wasn’t obvious.

It wasn’t forceful.

But it was enough.

The dart went flying in the wrong direction.

Straight toward Minjun!

Before he could react Before he could even comprehend what was happening A sharp sting buried itself into his upper arm.

His own poison.

Minjun’s eyes widened in horror.

The world felt like it had paused for a moment.

The hooded figure froze in shock.

But it was already too late.

Minjun staggered.

The pain was sharp, and the effects of the poison kicked in instantly.

His muscles stiffened slightly, not enough to kill him, but enough to weaken his balance.

And in front of everyone, Minjun tripped.
