They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 180 - 180 Venomous Lips 2

Chapter 180: Venomous Lips 2 Chapter 180: Venomous Lips 2 Ebere frowned, considering the words.

“You think so?” she murmured, nodding slowly.

Maybe this maid was making sense.

Maybe it wasn’t that Nnenna was better, it was that she had cheated her way to the top.

“Exactly!” The maid pressed on, her voice lowering as if revealing a dangerous secret.

“And you know, there’s one way to put an end to it.

If people knew the truth, that she wasn’t truly royal blood, that she was adopted, everything would change.

She wouldn’t be the golden princess anymore.

The kingdoms would turn their backs on her, and the attention would return to where it rightfully belongs… to you, the true princess of Lionara.” Ebere inhaled sharply.

The idea was shocking… yet tempting.

“And if she isn’t a true royal, should she even be competing against you?

Against real princesses?” The maid’s voice dripped with conviction, her words like honeyed poison.

Ebere didn’t answer immediately.

But the seed had been planted.

And it was beginning to take root.

Ebere nodded, considering the logic of her maid’s words.

But something didn’t feel quite right.

A small knot formed in her chest, tightening with unease.

“You know… I’ve always thought about getting better,” she murmured, her voice uncertain, like she was trying to convince herself.

“But if I expose this… what if it affects the kingdom?

She’s not just anyone, she’s part of the royal family, my family, just like me.” Her words held a newfound conviction, and for a moment, her doubts cleared, replaced by the weight of responsibility.

The maid “..!” The maid, seeing Ebere’s resolve, forced a small, obedient smile and nodded.

“Yes, Your Highness, you are right,” she said smoothly, masking the disappointment simmering beneath her calm exterior.

But inside, she was seething.

She had been so close, so close, to pushing Ebere exactly where she wanted her.

But no matter.

It was always wise to retreat when needed and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

For now, she would keep her thoughts to herself and let Ebere believe she had made the right choice.

Meanwhile, in Nnenna’s room, she paid no mind to Carl and Arthur who were seeking entertainment.

If they wanted to talk, they could talk, she had other things on her mind.

She left everything to her eldest brother, who seemed to have more than enough to discuss with them.

She hadn’t realized how close the three of them were, nor did she particularly care.

Whatever they were plotting, it wasn’t her concern, at least, until it had something to do with her which was probably very unlikely.

Sitting at the edge of her bed, Nnenna replayed the day’s events in her mind, analyzing every detail.

It was a habit she had developed, one of the things that made her sharper every day.

Thinking things through, ensuring she was always in line, was a gift not many people possessed.

Her thoughts drifted to what the king had said earlier.

She was undeniably in the spotlight these past few days, but it wasn’t like she had planned it.

It just… happened.

Still, she understood that the royal family wanted to shift focus to her siblings as well.

That was fine with her, she had no interest in unnecessary attention.

But that didn’t mean she would ignore the opportunities that came her way.

Tomorrow’s competition intrigued her, especially the hand to hand combat segment.

She wasn’t just interested in the fight itself, she saw it as a chance to get closer to a certain ice cold beauty.

A small frown played on her lips.

She would see how things played out first, but if necessary, she wouldn’t hesitate to use the love system to her advantage.

Just as she was deep in thought, a familiar chime echoed in her mind.

Ding!

“1,000 good points deducted for one month extension of your life.” Ding!

“You impressed everyone with your skills in horse riding and earned 150 good points!” Then, silence.

Nnenna let out a slow breath.

There it is.

She had been waiting for this all day.

Fortunately, she had enough good points saved up, and now her balance stood at 950.

That was still enough to gather more before the next deadline.

She quickly did the math in her head.

‘If I keep up at this pace, I’ll be fine.

But I can’t afford to slack off.’ A thought struck her, and she called out to the love system.

“If they really don’t let me compete in the upcoming competitions, is it possible to use my good points to change that?

Because there’s no way I can just sit back and do nothing.

What would be the point of all my training then?

The sleepless nights, the broken bones, the exhaustion, and even Lady Rose’s time and resources spent on me, would it all go to waste?” The love system hummed for a moment before responding.

“I understand where you’re coming from.

But don’t worry, if they try to stop you from competing, you can always use your good points to override that decision.” Nnenna sighed in relief.

“Good.

That’s all I needed to hear.” She suddenly remembered Ikenna’s promise, to give her a phone.

Since he had practically delivered himself to her, she might as well cash in on that promise before the ball ended.

The next day arrived faster than she expected.

Nnenna dressed in a comfortable yet elegant outfit suited for the day’s activities, hand to hand combat in the morning, followed by lunch.

She arrived just in time to witness Carl being stopped by King Ikechukwu.

He hadn’t gotten a chance to communicate with Carl or Arthur since their arrival, and from the looks of things, he hadn’t been given much of an opportunity to speak freely either.

“I assure you, Prince Carl,” King Ikechukwu’s voice was steady, laced with diplomacy, “we are a kingdom of integrity and honor.

We may not be as powerful as the kingdoms across the seas, but I do believe that if you give us a chance to do business with you, we will not disappoint.
