They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 191 - 191 Suppressed Feelings

Chapter 191: Suppressed Feelings Chapter 191: Suppressed Feelings Their warriors had to build endurance just to master the art of archery, a discipline that required both precision and physical stamina.

There was no way someone without rigorous training could stand a chance against them.

Nnenna had always thrown away her princess demeanor every time she trained with Lady Rose since it was more or less useless during training especially when she kept landing on her back every time she lost while sparing with Lady Rose.

No one was particularly disappointed by the outcome.

In fact, most people accepted the result without question.

Ebere herself was the only one who blamed herself.

After yesterday’s events, the maid had convinced her that her failures weren’t due to her lack of skill but rather her sister’s excessive showoff.

And for a moment, she had believed it.

But now… Now, she was right back where she started.

She had lost.

Again.

And this time, the bitter truth was staring her in the face.

Her younger sister had managed to hold her own against a prince from a kingdom of strength, yet she, a first princess, couldn’t even defeat another princess from an archery kingdom.

If she couldn’t win against someone from a non strength based kingdom… Then how would she ever stand a chance against someone from a war kingdom?

The realization made her fists clench.

Perhaps she had been lying to herself all along.

Ebere returned to her seat after bowing to her opponent, her expression carefully composed.

She sat down with her maid standing behind her seat.

She immediately leaned in, sensing her vulnerability.

“Your Highness, you did well,” the maid whispered softly.

“You shouldn’t be unhappy.

After all, the second princess has been training.

You saw her running up and down the fields, didn’t you?

That wasn’t for nothing.

She’s been secretly building her endurance with those lessons she’s been taking.” Ebere felt a flicker of gratitude at the maid’s words.

For a moment, it comforted her.

But then The maid continued, her next words slicing through any relief she had begun to feel.

“But you must know, Your Highness… the second princess is out to overshadow you.

No matter how well you fight, people will always compare you both.

But don’t worry, Princess.

In my eyes, and in the eyes of your parents and family, you will always be the best.” Ebere’s face visibly paled.

This… This was exactly what she had feared.

If circumstances were normal, she would still receive praise for putting up a good fight, even in defeat.

But things weren’t normal anymore.

Now that Nnenna had placed herself in the spotlight, she had become the perfect tool for comparison.

At least in previous years, when her sister avoided balls and stayed out of sight, Ebere had been able to shine freely.

But now?

Now, the attention that once belonged solely to her was slipping away.

Ebere realized that things were no longer the same.

Once again, she found herself contemplating what her personal maid had said the previous day.

‘Maybe I really should do this,’ she thought.

‘No one should blame me for doing something drastic, I’m just trying to fight for my position.

There’s nothing wrong with that.’ She concluded in her mind.

For most of the competition, she couldn’t concentrate.

The only thing that snapped her out of her thoughts once in a while was the cheering when someone won.

Finally, a huge applause traveled through the grounds when Princess Abigail, the first princess of Gigangum, won beautifully against Princess Anya, the first princess of Haran.

Nnenna frowned when the match ended.

She had already decided, she would convince Anya to fight her using the love system.

Everyone was satisfied and exhausted.

Since there had been no cheating and nothing unexpected had happened, they were about to stand up and leave for lunch when suddenly, someone picked up the microphone to say something.

The uproar paused as everyone wondered who had picked up the mic.

Their eyes turned toward the source of the sound and landed on Princess Anya.

Her reputation as a princess who rarely spoke made everyone pay immediate attention.

Normally, someone in her position would need to command the crowd’s focus first, but seeing that silence had already fallen in anticipation, Anya simply began without further preamble.

She turned towards the Lionara stands, her gaze settling on Nnenna.

“Princess Nnenna, would you be so kind as to spar with me and exchange pointers?” Anya’s voice was calm, yet firm.

“I did not get the chance to compete with you, and I look forward to it, especially since Prince Carl and Prince Arthur,” she gestured towards the two men seated far from her, “have agreed that you are one of the best.

Prince Somto himself has boasted about you, and I also witnessed your skills firsthand in your match against Prince Asher.” No one noticed the slight flicker of emotion in her eyes when she glanced at Arthur, her feelings were well hidden.

But the weight of her words sent a ripple through the crowd.

A direct invitation from Princess Anya was unexpected, and all eyes quickly turned to Nnenna, awaiting her response.

Everyone was surprised by the challenge, but calling someone out for a match wasn’t unusual.

Excitement buzzed in the air as all eyes turned toward Nnenna, waiting for her reply.

The audience was eager to witness a good fight, after all, both princesses had already proven themselves to be talented fighters.

Anya’s words sounded perfectly reasonable, yet something about them felt off.

No one could quite put a finger on it, but there was an unspoken tension beneath her calm tone.

Since this challenge was exactly what Nnenna had wanted, and from the very person she had been hoping to compare skills with, Nnenna stood up without hesitation.

“I accept,” she said simply, her voice steady.

Without wasting any time, she stepped forward, already prepared.

Ironically, she had been about to seek help from the love system to convince Anya to challenge her, but now there was no need.
