They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 175 - 175 Accusations

Chapter 175: Accusations Chapter 175: Accusations But then he hesitated.

His mission echoed in his mind.

If he spoke up for her now, if he showed his hand too soon, it might jeopardize the bigger picture.

So, he did what he had always done for the past ten years, he turned away and walked off, burying his thoughts beneath layers of restraint.

The moment he was gone, every pretense shattered.

Ebere scoffed, stepping closer, her voice low and sharp.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” she accused, her eyes burning with frustration as she stared at Nnenna.

Nnenna barely flinched as Obinna lashed out, his words dripping with jealousy and frustration.

“All these past weeks, you said you did not need training,” he spat, his eyes dark with resentment.

“Or were you secretly training all along?

I don’t know how you did it, but you are really despicable.” His anger wasn’t just about her victory, it was about what he had overheard.

On his way there, he had caught whispers from the nobles, murmurs that stung more than he wanted to admit.

‘Prince Minjun is exceptional, but can you believe Princess Nnenna defeated him?

That means she is second only to Prince Somto in their royal family!’ That had been the last straw.

What was that supposed to mean?

That he, the second prince, should now live under her glory?

That he, who had trained all his life to be recognized, was now being overlooked for someone who had not even been taken seriously before now?

He stepped closer, his jaw tight.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” His voice was low but sharp enough to cut through the air.

“You wanted to show off in front of big brother.

You probably even knew those two princes were coming!

You do not have any compassion in you, do you?” Obinna scoffed, shaking his head.

“First sister has been looking for a chance to shine too, but not only did you hog all the places prepared ahead of time, making sure you shone brighter than the rest of us, you even invited two major princes here, only thinking of yourself, not the kingdom.” He was seething.

And yet, Nnenna didn’t even blink.

Nnenna exhaled slowly, keeping her expression unreadable.

But inside, she could feel the weight of their accusations pressing against her, trying to force her into a corner.

Obinna wasn’t done.

His words, dripping with frustration, kept coming like arrows.

“Don’t you know that if you had told us earlier that they were coming, we would have been more prepared?

The princes would have been impressed with our kingdom, found us worthy of collaboration, and respected us more!

But now, we’re on the same playing field as the lesser kingdoms because you didn’t give us an advantage.

How selfish can you be?” He shook his head, as if truly disappointed in her.

Abuchi joined in, his voice just as sharp.

“And because of you, I wasn’t able to participate in as many competitions as I planned!

Don’t you know that this was our time to shine?

We were all preparing for these past two days, hoping to make our mark, but you—” he pointed an accusatory finger at her, “you hogged the spotlight at every turn!” He wasn’t wrong.

From their perspective, Nnenna had been everywhere, taking victories that weren’t meant for her.

But was that really her fault?

“First, you danced the opening performance, that was supposed to belong to first sister!

You snatched it away without even caring about her feelings!” His voice rose, filled with resentment.

“Then, you joined the stage dancers.

Stage dancers!

You’re a princess!

Do you have no shame?

That’s not something a royal should be doing!

And worse, you rehearsed with them.

You danced so well that everyone now thinks first sister isn’t as talented as you!” Nnenna’s fingers curled slightly at her side.

She hadn’t stolen anything.

She hadn’t forced her way onto that stage.

They had offered, and she had simply taken the chance.

But in their eyes, she had done something unforgivable, she had overshadowed them.

Abuchi scoffed, his frustration boiling over.

“Then you went ahead and challenged a major prince in the horse riding competition!

Do you really expect us to believe that was a coincidence?

You planned it, didn’t you?

And there’s no way you actually won fairly, someone must have handed you a trick!

Because there’s absolutely no way you suddenly know your way around horses!” He took a step closer, eyes narrowed with suspicion.

“Especially since you’ve spent most of your life lazing around.

Father only granted you permission to train a few weeks ago, so are you trying to say that you’re better than us now?

That all our years of training mean nothing?!” His words hit hard, but Nnenna didn’t flinch.

Instead, she let a small smirk tug at her lips, her calm expression a stark contrast to their anger.

“There is something that gave me everything I needed,” she said smoothly, her voice unwavering.

Everyone leaned in slightly, eager to hear her answer.

“Your overconfidence.

My hard work.

And… other factors.” Obinna “…” Abuchi “…” Ebere “…” Chidera “…” Her deliberate pause made their frowns deepen, but she didn’t elaborate.

Because when she said other factors, she was thinking of the love system, the silent guide that had been helping her from the very beginning.

But she wasn’t about to reveal that to them.

Nnenna tilted her head, watching them with quiet amusement.

Their faces were twisted in frustration, their voices rising in disbelief.

“What do you mean by that?

Our overconfidence?

Your hard work?

Other factors?!

Are you saying we didn’t work hard?” Obinna’s voice was sharp with accusation.

The others nodded in agreement, their pride wounded.

“Of course, we worked hard!

We’ve been trained since childhood.

You must have played some trick, maybe even colluded with that deceptive Prince Minjun!” Nnenna “.??” Nnenna almost rolled her eyes.

Colluded?

With Minjun?

The same prince who had tried to cheat against her?

The irony was almost laughable.
